Obnoxio The Clown

You know what? I don't care ...

2009-11-24T18:47:00.003Z

... if HGV drivers are the fucking salt of the earth and are personally responsible for all the good things in the world. I'm fucking sick of being stuck behind the moronic cunts who bully their way into the traffic using their vehicles as weapons and I'm especially fucking sick of spending half an hour waiting for one tosser in a truck to overtake another fucking tosser in a truck.

I hope you all fucking die tomorrow. Horribly, miserably and fucking painfully.

Cunts.

What a monstrous pile of cunt

2009-11-24T18:35:00.003Z

So I get in my fucking car and I drive off to Leeds for a get-together with some of the other divisions in the company.

Well, I have to tell you, that was definitely worth spending a whole fucking day in the car:

A bunch of nit-picking cock-sniffers and makeweights bitching on about how the PC division, upon which the company was founded 20 years ago, is no longer fucking front and centre. How they're not accorded enough respect, or dragged in front of customers often enough.
A bunch of senior managers actually fucking wittering on about how their divisions' logos were not displayed prominently enough on slides, for the fucking sake of fucking fuck!
People telling us that we had to spread our cheeks on the profitable side of the business to salve the egos of the unprofitable side.

And that's without the dry as dust presentations.

Fucking hell.

Since I'm travelling ...

2009-11-24T08:37:00.000Z

... this seems apt ...

I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning

Those of you who visit Twatter will almost certainly be aware of @BevaniteEllie, who is apparently a middle-class simpering ninny who styles herself The Stilettoed Socialist.

Dear Ellie is a bit of a Labour fangirl - her favourite sexual fantasy is a three-way with Harriet Harman and Jack Dromey.

Can you really imagine jilling off to this?

Anyway, nasty, violent trolls like me get blocked on Twitter by Ms Gerrard and her intellectual equal, Kerry McCarthy for saying unpleasant things and being mean. This did not stop the not-at-all-nasty-or-mean Ms Gerrard from ... well, read it yourself.

People in glass houses, Ms Gerrard, people in glass houses ...

Hmmm...

... fucking wept:

As discussed, she got the job because she was a available and Europe wanted a woman.

That's how the EU does business, folks: horse-trading, quotas and bullying. And still people think we need more integration with these cunts!

Now there's a headline I have no problem believing

2009-11-23T09:52:00.005Z

Cunt:

Gordon Brown 'went for second best to spite Tories'

Is there no depth the monocular mentalist scum will not plumb for cheap and tawdry political advantage?

It's fucking even worse, because Mandelsnake looks like a fucking hero by comparison:

Gordon Brown rejected advice from Lord Mandelson to seek one of the big economic posts in the European Commission for Britain once it was clear that Tony Blair could not succeed in becoming Europe’s first president, The Times has learnt. Instead he settled for the post of EU High Representative for Baroness Ashton of Upholland.

The Business Secretary and other ministers believed that one of the EU’s three big financial jobs — running the internal market and financial services, competition or trade — would have served Britain’s interests better than putting such an inexperienced figure into the foreign affairs role.

Instead Mr Brown allowed himself to be persuaded — bounced according to some EU sources — into accepting the foreign affairs job by a combination of Europe’s Socialist leaders and José Manuel Barroso, the President of the European Commission.

There were also claims that, in exchange, Mr Brown did a deal with President Sarkozy to give the internal market portfolio to the French, sparking criticism from the Conservatives.

Reading between the lines here, this looks like a broadside from Mandelsnake over the bow of the "good" ship Brown: he is saying that he would not have done things that way, so that when it all goes tits up, he can point a finger at the bogey-muncher. I reckon he'll pull the plug from his support of the Gorgon if the snot-gobblin' king does one more stupid thing.

With a bit of luck, it will all go bang just before the election.

Update: I'm not as dumb as I look.

What does "equal" mean?

2009-11-21T10:21:00.001Z

Equal:

be identical or equivalent to; "One dollar equals 1,000 rubles these days!"
be equal to in quality or ability; "Nothing can rival cotton for durability"; "Your performance doesn't even touch that of your colleagues"; "Her persistence and ambition only matches that of her parents"
having the same quantity, value, or measure as another; "on equal terms"; "all men are equal before the law"

The last example is strangely apt, because I see that our favourite "Women are Equal" cuntwaft is looking to keep women out of prison. As Ross says, this is prima facie evidence that she planned her crime rampage.

But really, why do we allow this abuse of our beautiful language by these venal fucks? In this case, "Women's Equality" actually means "preferential treatment of women, just because they're women". The "Equality and Human Rights Commission" actually promotes not genuine equality, but a number of different special interest groups who somehow deserve preferential treatment.

And "Human Rights" -- what crap is that? A bunch of woolly-headed non-rights designed by Eurocrats to make it sound like they have our best interests at heart while actually making it perfectly acceptable for the state to trample all over our genuine rights ... and responsibilities.

Well, you cunts: fuck you all. I don't think we need to send these motherfuckers a copy of 1984 or V for Vendetta or Animal Farm this year. Let's send the useless sacks of shit a fucking dictionary instead.

2009-11-21T09:45:00.000Z

After a week that has included some lovely highs and some even more terrible lows, I feel a little drained. Usually when I say I'm going to take some time off, it inspires me to write more -- but this time I think it might be a quieter weekend than usual.

*I've been reading it, OK?

Sir Hugh Orde, top quangocrat at APCO, hints that he'd quit if the Conservatives go ahead with plans to democratise control over local policing.

Fuck off then, you jumped-up overweening quangocrat! And take the rest of your company directors with you.

Leaked IPCC emails

2009-11-20T08:44:00.006Z

Please note before we start that this story has not yet been validated. The information could be true, some of it could be true and it could be a complete fabrication.

However, Steve McIntyre has confirmed that his emails are genuine and untouched. There is also a goldmine of data and programming code in the file that will allow skeptical researchers to identify what methods the IPCC have used to justify man-made global warming.

So, purely on the strength of the raw data and programs released, this is interesting.

And if the emails prove to be true, the repercussions of this could even exceed the expenses scandal.

Update: Jones (one of the scientists caught with his trousers down) says it's real, but I think he's just saying the base of it is real - someone could have still amended the contents of individual emails and data, so don't start brandishing those pitchforks yet! He's just saying it's not a complete fabrication.

Update 2: Someone has pointed out that it's unlikely Jones would have 'fessed up without a press officer handling the press. I'm not sure that a media whore "scientist" would necessarily handle the press without supervision, but there are little chips that are keeping me open-minded on this one. It really does seem to be too good to be true.

Update 3: Full writeup of the interview with Jones:

By Ian Wishart

The internet is on fire this morning with confirmation computers at one of the world’s leading climate research centres were hacked, and the information released on the internet.

A 62 megabyte zip file, containing around 160 megabytes of emails, pdfs and other documents, has been confirmed as genuine by the head of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, Dr Phil Jones.

In an exclusive interview with Investigate magazine’s TGIF Edition, Jones confirms his organization has been hacked, and the data flying all over the internet appears to have come from his organisation.

“It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago that someone had hacked into our system and taken and copied loads of data files and emails.”

“Have you alerted police?”

“Not yet. We were not aware of what had been taken.”

Jones says he was first tipped off to the security breach by colleagues at the website RealClimate.

“Real Climate were given information, but took it down off their site and told me they would send it across to me. They didn’t do that. I only found out it had been released five minutes ago.”
The files were first released from a Russian fileserver site by an anonymous tipster calling him or herself “FOIA”, in an apparent reference to the US Freedom of Information Act. The zip file contains more than a thousand documents sitting in a “FOIA” directory, and it prompted speculation that the information may have been in the process of being compiled for consideration of an information act request.

Jones, however, says the files were not contained in a “FOIA” directory at the Climate Research Unit.

“No. Whoever is responsible has done that themselves.”

“I’m not sure what we’re going to do. I’ll have to talk to other people here. In fact, we were changing all our passwords overnight and I can’t get to my email, as I’ve just changed my password. I’ve gone into the Climate Audit website because I can’t get into my own email.

“It’s completely illegal for somebody to hack into our system.”

In one email dating back to 1999, Jones appears to talk of fudging scientific data on climate change to “hide the decline”:

From: Phil Jones
To: ray bradley ,mann@[snipped], mhughes@[snipped]
Subject: Diagram for WMO Statement
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 13:31:15 +0000
Cc: k.briffa@[snipped],t.osborn@[snipped]
Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.
Cheers, Phil
Prof. Phil Jones
Climatic Research Unit

TGIF asked Jones about the controversial email discussing hiding “the decline”, and Jones explained he was not trying to mislead.

“No, that’s completely wrong. In the sense that they’re talking about two different things here. They’re talking about the instrumental data which is unaltered – but they’re talking about proxy data going further back in time, a thousand years, and it’s just about how you add on the last few years, because when you get proxy data you sample things like tree rings and ice cores, and they don’t always have the last few years. So one way is to add on the instrumental data for the last few years.”

Jones told TGIF he had no idea what me meant by using the words “hide the decline”.

“That was an email from ten years ago. Can you remember the exact context of what you wrote ten years ago?”

The other emails are described by skeptic commentators as “explosive”, one talks of stacking the peer-review process to prevent qualified skeptical scientists from getting their research papers considered.

Update 4: A very nice précis of the contents identified so far, by Bishop Hill.

Ah, yes, Tory expense fiddlers: Decisive Dave smote down upon them with furious anger, didn't he? Unfortunately, he put the wrong person in charge of the clean-up crew:

When will it end? The Telegraph has the story tonight of Conservative MP David Curry, the new chairman of the Parliamentary Standards Committee (no, really), has been accused of claiming £30,000 of taxpayers' money to pay for a house he hasn't set foot in for four years, after being banned by his ex wife.

Now, remember, it's only a tiny handful of bad apples, chaps! It really isn't a case of every single one of the motherfuckers robbing us blind! Really!

Oh, and the Tories? They're much better than Labour. Honest!

Facepalm

2009-11-19T17:05:00.000Z

While trawling a couple of forums I frequent, I came across this little gem. The forum in question has a section devoted to group buys. Whenever a group buy is in progress, the buy will be made into an "announcement" and then people can either partake or not.

It's been like that since the forum opened more than five fucking years ago.

Today, a group buy was about to close when this gem of an exchange took place:

Spazmong: Is it worth sticking a post about this group buy in the General Discussion section? I think the Group Buys section's Announcements is a little out of the way for how people usually read the forum. I was completely unaware of it until I heard about it from Pete.

These people actually breed, you know.

Jesus fucking wept!

2009-11-19T17:01:00.002Z

Don't any of you fuckers ever work? I spend a day away from my computer and I come back to over a hundred fucking blog posts.

Don't you motherfuckers have anything better to do with your days?

Oh ...

2009-11-19T16:59:00.002Z

And the trip in this morning was pretty special too. Quieter, but I managed to find myself sat next to a sweet old dear who happened to be farting Zyklon B.

Unfortunately for you all, I survived.

Hell is other people

's children. There's nothing I love more on the miserable journey home on the train in the darkness of winter than a screaming snotball running around a train while the parents sit there obliviously.

Fucking spawning cuntweasels.

Coruscating!

2009-11-19T08:36:00.001Z

I do like this:

Sagittarius (22 NOV-21 DEC)

This week you'll stop worrying about all those police warnings of strange, angry man lurking around your housing estate with his hands wedged permanently down the front of his pants. It was you all along.

And:

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Start spreading the news. You're leaving today. You'll make a brand new start of it, but I'm afraid your name will still be on the register until July 2019 at the earliest.

And:

Gemini (21 MAY-20 JUN)
If you're having issues with a work colleague, why not send them one of those passive-aggressive emails and copy their boss in on it? Everybody loves it when they get one of those.

And:

Cancer (21 JUN-22 JUL)
A productive week as you crush your friend's gentle Christian faith under the relentless heel of your humourless atheism, leaving them bereft of hope, solace or joy. Serves the fucker right.

£2000 a year?

2009-11-18T14:17:00.001Z

For taking money off me, for drafting laws that I don't want, for making my legislature useless, for thirteen fucking years of unaudited accounts, for the draconian EWA, for ignoring the democratic wishes of member states, for pushing ahead with greater integration, for persecution of whistleblowers, for promoting climate change hysteria, for all the nannying fuckery, for complete unaccountability:

fucking thanks, you motherfucking cunts.

Bio-engineering

2009-11-18T12:26:00.000Z

I read so much crap about the horrors of bio-engineering. You'd swear they're breeding fucking triffids to eat us all, or something, rather than finding ways of feeding more of us than ever before, for less money.

But here's something I don't think anyone can disagree with:

Land mines are currently strewn throughout 87 of the world’s countries, and each year they cause 15,000-20,000 new casualties, the vast majority of which are inflicted upon civilians. Sifting through minefields to remove these hidden threats is currently a dangerous, tedious, and expensive process, however scientists at the University of Edinburgh recently announced that they have engineered a strain of bacteria that glows green in the presence of explosives, making mine detection a snap.

Oh, those evil, deranged bio-engineering lunatics...
