Letters go to music file-sharers
Surely this is what the internet was made for, porn, music piracy and facebook?

Drunken Swede tries to row home
I particularly like this because he’s 78. I was imagining someone 60 years younger or so..
Facebook-'Dipping' Teens Using Web 2.0 to Find Secret Pool Parties
I find this to be cunning and inventive.
I would not agree if I had a pool full of drunken teenagers.
Ida Maria - Better When You’re Naked (TGE 2008) (via Urlauber)
Sound could be shite, my headphones have been stolen. I like the song tho.
Not in our backyard!
Planning is headline news! Cassie must be thrilled!
I however, am not. I fucking hate ignorant people who don’t understand a thing about nuclear power and jump on any mention of it to create big scare tactic headlines.
Once again, nuclear power stations are SAFE and CLEAN.
Coal power plants produce more pollution in an hour than a nuclear plant produces in a year. Coal plants also release Thorium and Uranium as waste products, along with nitrous and sulfurous oxides responsible for acid rain, whereas nuclear power releases only water vapor.
Nuclear waste can be isolated from the environment, unlike fossil fuel plants and the waste will decay to a safe state in a geologically smaller amount of time than that of coal. During the reprocessing of depleted Uranium, only 1% of the original mass of fuel is discarded as radioactive waste. This waste can be vitrified – turned into a stable glass (actually more like Pyrex) – and stored with no effect on the external environment.
The worst radiation case in the Three Mile Island incident was about a third of the normal background radiation a person gets in a year. Chernobyl was a result of a lack of containment and a misunderstanding of safety procedures, which would not occur today as the nuclear industry is the most regulated industry in the world. The amount of deaths as a result of the fallout from Chernobyl has not been proven to be significantly above normal incidence levels. With only 13 accidents in the past 50 years, nuclear power is relatively (to coal, oil and gas) safe.
A terrorist will have more success in stealing weapons-grade Uranium from a coal plant than a nuclear plant. This can be further reduced by reprocessing the depleted Uranium, as over 99% of it is reused as fuel.
I would have no problem living next door to a nuclear power station. I’d rather live there than next to a motorway or an airport any day.
