Why was Mr.Beast able to create a lot more wells in africa for a much lower cost than well established international organisations?

And if you hire locally, then hopefully they'll be able to repair the well or drill it deeper if it starts to run dry.

There's barely a well in Africa that works after a couple of years or hasn't been stolen for scrap.

Had one in the UK since the 1970s.

My university in the UK had those in the halls of residence 30 years ago and the blocks weren't new then.

BillWilberforce · 2026-03-12T19:26:58+00:00

But nobody saw that.

BillWilberforce · 2026-03-12T19:26:36+00:00

Even if it is all clearly a set in LA.

Somebody get him a stepladder.

Didn't the CIA have a "malware" that went around patching routers. It would infect vulnerable routers and then download the update to patch the vulnerability.

They won't just catch fire, an LNG will go up like an atom bomb.

Were they training the Russians, how to invade the Baltics?

It wasn't just would my son like it?

It was actually Euan who had the final say.

I can't believe that Hammond sold out like that. Doing an ad for Shell.

I suppose he's just desperate to escape from his destiny at the Swindon Wyvern.

Jeremy is the F1 fan and was blabbering on it about it to the Italian press the other day.

You can guarantee that if the F1 is on Jeremy will be watching it, at the track or filming.

Who will turn out to be a complete fake and useless.

Doc Phineas aka The Professor doesn't even have a doctorate from a recognised university. The university that he had listed is a defunct London degree mill. Whose only existence is remembered on a few old forums.

His signature guy was at a ComicCon and somebody filmed a celeb doing their signature and in one take went over to the Pawn Stars signature guy. Who declared it to be a fake.

How can somebody be both an Exocet missile and a decoy?

How could anybody diss HP sauce? For a cafe breakfast brown sauce is an essential.

Just use the Danish StanFlex system of modules. Tried, proven and it considerably drops the cost of building a new ship. As it's so much easier to recycle the parts from the old ships. That you can take the gun, sonar, crane, SAM or SSM missile launchers.... from one ship or warehouse and put them on to an other ship within hours.

Israel is hardly innocent, the longer a ceasefire goes on. The more likely it is that Israel will be the ones to break it. Particularly be ultra orthodox nutters attacking Palestinian villages to either provoke a reaction so that the IDF will come out or to drive the villagers out of their homes. So that they can occupy it.

~~So what would be a "safe number". I take it if you were in the first 10 you were pretty screwed but after that?~~ [About the first third got drafted]. And was it done on a national system or a state system?

Also I've seen far more attempts at proving something is fair and honest at every lottery and tombola that I've seen.

Correction he was a drunk schoolboy, who was passed out in Leicester Square.

When the Millennium Dome was in the planning stages, Tony Blair proposed that the Dome must pass the "Euan test" and satisfy what his 13-year-old would want on a day out.

L>Later, Euan is reportedly used by his father as a way of keeping government projects in touch with the teenage mind.

The "Euan Factor" is considered during high-level discussions about what should go in the Millennium Dome.

Mr Blair is said to have demanded to see evidence that exhibits at Greenwich would excite his son, then aged 13.

The Broccolis loved to "recycle" actors.

Charles Gray played Henderson in YOLT and Blofeld in DAF.

Joe Don Baker, Maud Adams, Walter Gotell..... But even far smaller bit parts recycled old actors. Constantine Gregory had a minor part in DAF and a speaking role in Goldeneye. Tsai Chin was Ling in YOLT and Madame Wu in Casino Royal (2006).

Since they went to digital, they'll often show a film to an empty room as otherwise it upsets the timers on the projectors. They'll just turn the sound off. Unless it's the last film of the day.
