14:04:52 <sbp> yeah, I've been commenting on that a little
14:04:59 <sbp> it just gets more and more funny
14:05:10 <sbp> I suspect this might be it now, but perhaps not
14:05:13 <sbp> maybe more humour to come
14:08:08 <sbp> as far as I can tell, this is the situation so far:
14:08:10 <sbp> <government> please do science for us
14:08:10 <sbp> <scientist> results!
14:08:10 <sbp> <government> we don't agree with these results
14:08:10 <sbp> <scientist> why don't you agree?
14:08:10 <sbp> <government> beacuse we think it would be safer to do what we want to do, which involves not taking into account your evidence
14:08:13 <sbp> <scientist> but that makes it seem like you're devaluing the evidence, so people won't understand and they won't know what to think about evidence
14:08:16 <sbp> <government> you're fired
14:08:18 <sbp> <scientist> what!

19:12:37 <[bjoern]> I am not sure I understand your Liberal Democrats
19:12:40 <sbp> so like, we could protect all the German islands
19:13:03 <sbp> Lib Dems... are basically there for everybody who doesn't give a shit anymore
19:13:04 <[bjoern]> They are mostly threatend by water
19:13:08 <sbp> "do whatever. sigh"
19:13:18 <sbp> our troops could totally defeat water
19:13:21 <sbp> quite possibly
19:13:33 <[bjoern]> Name one success?
19:13:47 <sbp> what, of our troops against water?
19:13:50 <[bjoern]> I don't recall many british victories over water.
19:13:53 <sbp> well the bouncing bomb was a pretty good one

19:14:19 <sbp> though perhaps that's more of a victory against torpedo nets. but like, the torpedo nets are IN the water

19:19:17 <sbp> well kinda
19:19:25 <sbp> I haven't looked at their policies since last election
19:19:47 <sbp> but they've never been all that definite about any of their policies as far as I recall, to be able to say something like "they oppose the nanny state" say
19:19:55 <sbp> I guess you can even see it there
19:20:00 <sbp> "minimise" state intervention
19:20:00 <[bjoern]> the playground story is due to a "lib dem"

19:24:24 <sbp> were they going to invent WMDs out of thin air like a certain prominent EU presidential candidate?
19:24:43 <[bjoern]> ... without the correct paperwork, you mean?
19:24:49 <sbp> right
19:28:53 <[bjoern]> "police rebranded lawful protest as 'domestic extremism'"
19:32:49 <m4rk> paperboys should know about the right paperwork, the clue is in the job title
19:33:12 <m4rk> were there any papergirls involved? they are just as bad
19:36:58 * m4rk wonders if this statement has just been logged in someone's triplestore
19:37:24 <sbp> very unlikely
19:37:28 <m4rk> ;)
19:37:50 <[bjoern]> At least that's what we want you to think.
19:38:23 <m4rk> what are we talking about, the logging or the papergirls?
19:38:26 <sbp> [bjoern]: perhaps he thinks that's what we want him to think already
19:38:51 <[bjoern]> As I know us, we might be counting on that.
19:42:10 <sbp> also the fact that we want him to think that we were counting on that
19:42:41 <[bjoern]> In this instance, but not always. That'd be confusing.

20:17:17 <sbp> yeah, I always just assume Liverpool Street Station is in Birmingham
20:17:56 <sbp> third busiest station in the UK, apparently
20:18:14 <sbp> oh, nope, just the third busiest in London. well that's no good
20:18:24 <sbp> I'm surprised actually, because i thought Clapham Junction was the busiest
