Sounds decent! I've actually noticed that the yokes are back lately and although I haven't been partaking, it's great to see.

Looking at this and your previous post, and one that sticks in my mind about having a mashed up joint, soggy and you chanced smoking it before going into work because you were wrecked, it's clear that you're a multilayered man. Can't say I dislike it :)

I've a fortnight in Scotland booked from Aug 1, and as things stand, I can get in not a bother, provided the NHS did the inoculating. Total bullshit. Being an Irish citizen might get me over the line but I doubt it.

Cheers Kev!

The viennetta of Metal warfare.

Viennetta is nice. Just the regular one though, not the new flavours.

At the rate this pandemic is playing out, some of us will be lucky to experience a viennetta again:

Anyone got a full original video source for this snippet? Not impossible he said what he says here, but there's something weird about the video movement that makes me wonder whether it isn't a deep fake.

Now that you mention it, it does look a bit weird yeah. The audio/video sync is definitely off, and the voice has an overly warm tone to it, whereas the room looks like his voice should be more echoey. The subtitles could be a red herring too  :laugh:

Think this is the original

Sound, certainly looks like it alright; same tie, exactly the same folds in the flags, etc., yet a full month old..

Well, if it is a deep fake, a glance at the comments shows us the extent of the new hell we're entering with respect to what people think they know. As if things weren't bad enough already on that level.

Yeah looks like a deep fake alright. Anyone wanna bet on a major international event occurring in the next decade due to a deep fake video?

Yeah I dunno. I presumed it was just out of context when I first seen it here. And letting people jump to conclusions, as above. Just because what he says isn't that ridiculous if he was speaking about his brief and some new programme within it.

It has them all riled up anyway going by the replies to it ha.



So even if it was a real video, what's the big deal about here... after two years of this unprecedented shit we've all been through, Astfgyl is surprised that world leaders have a plan in place to reduce the risk of further pandemics or disaster? Catch me up.
