[07:29:19] <chromas> the 3%/5% compromise?

[07:30:08] <c0lo> There, you just had your stuff.
[07:30:09] <chromas> it's not nice to refer to people as a pocs
[07:30:24] <FatPhil> without a doubt, tennis is a very popular sport. In fact, approximately 87 million people play tennis around the world. That's 1.17% of the world's population
[07:31:05] <c0lo> Much less of them play snooker. I reckon snokker doesn't worth discussing.

[07:31:31] <c0lo> Indeed, FatPhil, why not?
[07:31:40] <FatPhil> because I'm not a twat
[07:32:25] <c0lo> You imply that I am?
[07:32:40] <FatPhil> If you interpret things that way, that's your right
[07:33:45] <FatPhil> it's a shit-stirring sub, nothing more
[07:33:56] <c0lo> Was asking about your intended meaning. Pure curiosity.

[07:39:46] <FatPhil> Lithuanian chocolate's shit. Latvian's bad. Finland's OK. Estonian's fucking tiptop.
[07:40:53] <chromas> What about Westonian?
[07:41:40] <FatPhil> Estonia's not 100% proved to be cognate to "east"
[07:41:46] <c0lo> Yet, the Lithuanians sell it and you don't. Rrright... more for you, I get it.
[07:42:43] <c0lo> Is this from Gaza? https://pbs.twimg.com
[07:42:45] <FatPhil> We'll be heading to the market today, and will be picking up some Lithuanian salami, make no mistake.
[07:43:33] <c0lo> Behead a lithuanian salami. Good start of a weekend.

[08:28:35] <FatPhil> well, thanks for asking, actually, our brewery will have its highest ever sales figures this month. the new canning line is opening up new markets nicely.
[08:35:27] <chromas> noice
[08:43:21] <FatPhil> I've spotted the capitalist - burn him!
[08:44:09] <FatPhil> What's really nice is that we increased our stake in the company yesterday.
[08:45:06] <FatPhil> We're now the 7th largest shareholder, where of course the 4 founders are the biggest by a mile, and the head brewer who was bribed to join right at the start is #5.
[09:00:06] <FatPhil> It's funny, I was reading some Marx just a few days ago - honestly, not bullshitting you - agreeing with everything he was writing - honestly, not bullshitting you - ... Until I got to the bit where he said "and that's a bad thing", because I was thinking "yes, and that's how we make progress, and that's a good thing".
[09:00:59] <FatPhil> Technically, I was reading JKG, but he was quoting a passage from Marx.

[09:24:01] * chromas shakes head
[09:24:07] <chromas> agreeing with Richard Marx is just wrong
[09:26:19] <FatPhil> at least you didn't select Gummo
[09:30:37] <FatPhil> Gummo was right. He thought the rest of the Marx bothers were doing terrible material and went into business for the ((($$$$))) instead.
[09:55:40] <FatPhil> n.p. Sibelius /Finlandia/, because awesome.

[11:21:17] <janrinok> Just returned from having my second Pfizer vaccination - just got to give it the 14 days to do its thing and then I am one degree safer than I was before...
[11:22:11] <Ingar> janrinok: let me know if the side effects are worse than from the 1st shot ;)
[11:22:20] <Ingar> I did feel tired all week

[11:23:14] <FatPhil> herp derp
[11:23:23] <janrinok> I will. The doc mentioned it might make me feel fatigued for 48 hours starting from tomorrow. I had no ill-effects from the first injection.
[11:24:11] <Ingar> I can't say I actually felt ill
[11:24:17] <Ingar> more like, borderline having a cold
[11:24:51] <Ingar> the evening of the first shot I was shivering, crawled into bed early
[11:24:59] <janrinok> I've got the Tour de France cycling past about 50 metres from my front door tomorrow - I might go and watch them, although the full caravan is 4 hours of advertising vehicles, 30 seconds of riders, and about 10 minutes of support vehicles.
[11:25:36] <janrinok> I don't need any excuse to go to bed early - but if I feel a bit iffy I will probably do that anyway
[11:28:14] <FatPhil> be the arsehole that stands in the middle of the road!
[11:29:42] <janrinok> I'm just going to wave at the helicopter. So if you see some old guy with a beard waving like a maniac at the helo it might well be me. On the other hand, apart from France, who gives it TV coverage?
[11:32:14] <chromas> BBC-27
[11:32:14] <janrinok> they have removed lots of road furniture but there are some 10cm high traffic islands at certain junctions which they cannot move and I reckon it is not beyond the realms of possibility that some cyclists will hit one of them.
[11:32:21] <FatPhil> BBC-heaven
[11:32:44] <FatPhil> Right, I'm heading to the pub to watch sexy fit women's bottoms
[11:32:59] <janrinok> is that BBC-27 (TIbet) or BBC-27 (Cayman Islands) ???
[11:33:03] <FatPhil> AKA tennis
[11:33:07] <chromas> You should put a sweet jump out in the road
[11:33:24] <janrinok> don't drool into your beer FP
[11:33:59] <FatPhil> I should pull my Kontaveit photos off the memory card. Got some great zooms on her bum!
[11:34:48] <janrinok> does your gf reciprocate with the mens tennis?
[11:34:52] <chromas> I'm waiting for them to show up on bing images
[11:36:32] <FatPhil> She's welcome to, as long as she's displaying good taste.
[11:36:37] <janrinok> lol
[11:50:57] <FatPhil> just pressed her, and she's nable to name her favourite men's tennis bum.
[11:51:44] <FatPhil> no tennis on TV :(
[11:52:36] <chromas> maybe she also prefers women's tennis bum
[12:30:17] <Ingar> I bet TdF os live on national TV
[12:33:23] <janrinok> In France yes, but not elsewhere maybe
[12:33:30] <Ingar> Belgium
[12:33:34] <Ingar> The Netherlands
[12:34:29] <janrinok> with football and tennis being on at the same time, I'm not sure TdF will be getting 100% coverage
[12:36:24] * Ingar watches TdF live on national TV :p
[12:37:07] <Ingar> some guys taking a piss
[12:38:55] <janrinok> You are watching guys taking a piss, FP is looking at firm ladies bums... I feel a trend appearing here
[12:39:47] <Ingar> I saw an old guy with a bear waving the a helicopter
[12:40:04] <Ingar> he was standing next to some hay rolls and a large flag on the ground
[12:40:16] <Ingar> *old guy with bearD
[12:40:46] <Ingar> terre de champions
[12:41:30] <janrinok> not me - they don't get here until tomorrow.
[12:41:58] <Ingar> lol commentator "the guys don't have it easy to take a leak"
[12:42:49] <Ingar> tbh I don't care about TdF
[12:42:59] <Ingar> but there are nice images of the french landscape
[12:43:03] <janrinok> real men wouldn't stop cycling!
[12:43:35] <Ingar> janrinok: lots of public, few 'private' places for a pitstop ;)
[12:43:49] <janrinok> Oh I certainly live in a nice place, although the weather today is far from optimal.
[12:44:17] <Ingar> not abnormal for the time of year, contrary to the past years
[12:44:22] <Ingar> I prefer this over 35C
[12:44:33] <Ingar> !weather brussels
[12:44:55] <Ingar> forgot the syntax (or wasn't the weatherbot here?)
[12:45:37] * Ingar kills the stream though
[12:45:48] <Ingar> I need some bandwith to finish this 65GB download
[12:46:12] <janrinok> OK, do your downloading
[12:49:45] <FatPhil> I don't understand the fascination of a sport/event which has a worse drugs record than the 1970s bulgarian women's weightlifting team.
[12:50:09] <FatPhil> literally every single winner for several *decades* was a cheat.
[12:50:21] <janrinok> what have you got against huge bulgarian women?
[12:50:38] <FatPhil> nothing personally
[12:50:46] <janrinok> you wouldn't need a zoom lens for anything less than 100m
[12:50:58] <FatPhil> I' even hapy for the ones that now live their lives as men.
[12:51:13] <FatPhil> true story, modulo typos
[13:19:39] * FatPhil pisses himself with laughter as he loads the UK covid stats page, which he hasn't done for months. How?!? were the vaccinating with sugar solution or something?
[13:22:37] <FatPhil> I reckon the red arrows should just cropdust all major towns with live virions, and just innoculate everyone that way.

[20:28:58] <Deucalion> FatPhil, uk numbers of covid + are off the hook because of testing.... anyone can walk into popup test centres and get a test on demand now... supermarkets, pharmacies, random car park... test places. Who knew if you test more, you detect more.
[20:30:31] <Deucalion> Ohhhh over here in WeWantTouristsWeHazSunAndBeaches we don't do any testing and there is no covid at all here... so vome tourist.
[20:32:39] <Deucalion> Something, something statistics, lies and damn lies.
[20:34:43] <Deucalion> FatPhil, uk vaccinated should get a + after this weekend too. Just had the "Grab a Jab" initiative. No appt. just walk in get jabbed.
[20:34:53] <Deucalion> That'll skew stats
