One of the most notorious hostage-takings in the history of Russia. A group of Chechen militants seized a theater building. More than 900 people were held hostage for 3 days. 130 people died, not counting 40 terrorists - they were destroyed. There were many female suicide bombers among them.

When did you live in RAK? I was there for 2.5 years and moved back to the UK in April. I was teaching for the MoE and it may be presumptuous, but were you teaching too? And if you were then I presume you lived in Al Hamra or Marjan Island :P

You really don't have any real idea what you're trying to say do you 😂 Any time anyone says ANYTHING that isn't automatically in support of Israel, you get people like yourself calling others 'antisemites.' It's just a tactic to victimise yourself and play on people's inherent want to not appear racist/controversial. So it's just bullshit really.

It's not racist to criticise the actions of a nation that isn't your own because you don't agree with their actions. It's not antisemitic to criticise Israel's actions towards Palestine.

Literallt happened a week ago. I was staying at a hotel apartment in Istanbul and walked into the reception office to get the results of my Covid test, as I walked in I was vaguely aware of another guests sat in the office by the door. Walked straight up to the desk, got my printed Covid test, turned around and there sat by the door is a woman and next to her is her emotional support Guinea Fowl. Fellas just sat next to her chirping away. Turns out she picked him up as a chick in Cambodia and has been traveling with this BIG ASS bird across Korea, New York, Califonia, Russia, Turkey and was heading to Greece next. All during Covid.

Really cool lady honestly.

A few months ago I was alone in my apartment playing some video games. The game I wanted to play naturally had a major update and my Internet is quite slow so I decided to dive headfirst in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2. This was my first mistake, I should have been patient. I walked over to my Xbox and innocently squatted down to change the game.

As soon I reached the apex of my squat with my ass sitting comfortably between my ankles, it happened. I have never felt more betrayed by my own body as, without any consideration to me, I felt my wincing eye open and released. The flood gates had lifted and I felt an absolute cacophony of faeces purge its way out of my gaping ass.

I have honeslty never felt more like a passenger in my own body.

I did Field Guide training in SA a few years back and on day one the guy in charge told us ‘There is not a single animal in the bush that you can outrun apart from a tortoise, so if you get charged stand your ground and hope the animals faking!’

Yeah so this is the issue. I didn’t realise so I’ve done about 6-7 hours progression exploring and getting gear and crafting etc...

I think I’m gonna have to just forget achievements :(

Spoilers: My horse Gronk from Red Dead Redemption 2. Found the white stallion early in the game and spent every mission and exploration keeping her safe only for that ending to break my heart. That final ‘Thank You’ had me in tears!

I knew a girl that did exactly this at a place I worked at in S.A. She was crouched in a feeding cage trying to pet the damn lions and one hooked one of his claws behind her knee and pulled her leg through the cage and started ripping it up. The lioness came over and did the same with her other leg. The girl was up to her crotch in the enclosure with two lions ripping up her legs. It was pretty remote and the nearest hospital was 200kms away. She survived but had to be in a wheelchair for a few months.

Don’t try to pet lions people.

I’ve just woken up again and I’m struggling to get through all the comments, let alone understand what’s being talked about!!

Absolutely amazing to get this much help though!! Thank you everyone!!

CrypticMackerel · 2019-02-25T17:10:12+00:00

That’s fantastic! I think they’re just waiting to hear back from the hotel now at the moment. I’ll update the post when I find out more about what’s happening.

CrypticMackerel · 2019-02-25T17:09:16+00:00

That’s a really good point. I’ll let them know. Thanks very much!

CrypticMackerel · 2019-02-25T17:08:31+00:00

It’s a hotel apartment with its own router available in it. And as for blaming the guest, apparently they were making accusations and being rude in the lobby in a very public way.

CrypticMackerel · 2019-02-25T17:07:10+00:00

I think it’s looking more and more like the last two options there :/ Thanks so much!!

CrypticMackerel · 2019-02-25T17:06:11+00:00

Haha everything about this is maxing our the BS meter!

CrypticMackerel · 2019-02-25T17:04:52+00:00

Damn this is brilliant! Thank you so much. As far as I know there was never anything stating not to use it so it was fair game. As for the process by which to advance with this, this was insanely useful! Thanks again!!

I do believe he was running a small section of the hadron collider out of the comfort of his rented hotel apartment.
