    When it comes to thermonuclear devices, I'm not sure where I stand these days. When one lived in London, one could at least be fairly certain you'd at least die in the blast rather than a lingering death from radiation sickness and whatnot. Now I don't know.
    The radiation stuff is all lefty propaganda, apparently. I read about it a couple of years ago. According to this random article on the internet, if the effects of radiation were as severe as we are led to believe, about half a million people would have died of cancer in the years following Chernobyl. The actual number of cases was about 17. These numbers may not be 100% accurate, but you get the gist.

    I have read similar, actually. The dangers of Chernobyl were massively exaggerated - mostly by German greens and similar who wanted to demonise nuclear power in all its guises.

    Well, sure, but you get a lot of two-headed birds within the perimeter.

    Phew - now can you assure me those scouse ****s won’t win the big one

    It's strange how calm and accepting everyone is.

    Pucker up your árseholes, boys. It's armageddon for us all.
    ooh in just under 11 years Herbert Chapman joins The Arsenal, that's something to look forward to innit?
