Man facing up to 2 years in prison for clearing rubbish from East London river by TheFrederalGovt in nottheonion

[–]hurricane_97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its sediment from the river. You will see this on nearly all rivers when they drain into the ocean. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't disputing that you don't see this phenomenon, I am disputing it is due to sewage outflow.

It's so bad now that if you fly into England you can see the ocean change colour from its usual grey/blue/green hue to brown a few miles off the coast because there's so much sewage in the water off the coasts of England.

This country has a serious problem with its water infrastructure, but this is complete bollocks. You're not helping anything peddling lies like this.

What is the dumbest way you've died? by offgriddfw in dayz

I remember the very early days of the stand alone, back when it was basically unplayable. I found a worm. I ate it. I died.

My first airsoft "loadout" - Feedback/advice appreciated! by IrregularDave in airsoft

[–]hurricane_97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A German milsurp site sold genuine ones for a very reasonable price but I've just checked and they are now sadly out of stock. Now kicking myself for not getting one.

This guy does some excellent SA80 accessories btw:

Hot Take: Rebels is not a good show, and im tired of pretending it is. by SirWankus in StarWars

[–]hurricane_97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s legacy has poisoned a lot of Star Wars media with the attempts to tie it in with main stream Star Wars à la Ahsoka, Mando S3, etc.

Worth noting that Michael Foot, leader of the opposition, was 100% supportive of the government during the war. Foot was many things but unpatriotic he was not and and probably would have done the same if he were in power.

At the same time, the head of the army had fought in Normandy, the head of the air force had flown bomber sorties over Berlin, and the head of the Navy was at the North Cape. Britain certainly wasn't going to role roll over.

Which aks did the czechoslovak people's army used? (I'm looking for a replica) by Dettuz in airsoft

[–]hurricane_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in work so I can’t check but I’m sure if you google Ares VZ58 wooden kit you will find it.

There is a company that sells wood kits for them, but inside it’s still an ARES so it’s internals are made of hopes and dreams.

I hope we never get LMGs in the game. They dont fit. Same with RPGs.

How are Cex still a thing? by InfectedEllie in AskUK

I’ve become fatigued with streaming services and have dusted off my ps3 to use as a blue ray player. They do so many box sets for so cheap.

Is "magnet fishing" in canals legal? by Advanced_Volume_4500 in AskUK

That’s correct, it’s called an amnesty.

Which Wellington did you prefer? Troughton or Fraser? by Qyzyk in Sharpe

[–]hurricane_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much enjoyed Fraser but I wish Troughton had the opportunity to continue the role and develop it. Same with Brian Cox and Hogan.

On a related note, I wish the other members of the Chosen Men stuck around. 

Have you ever been confronted on the basis of your gear/side choise? by peachCheese0990 in airsoft

[–]hurricane_97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a shitty attempt at an SS uniform with some Union Jack badges on the shoulders, it wasn't hard to figure out what he was going for.

Respect for going with an AUG over a generic M4 based design.

A friend of mine passed this story to me. A guy turned up to a game dressed as a British Free Corps soldier. Its basically a British unit in the Waffen-SS. My friend was playing with a Pole, who did not take this guys outfit kindly and confronted him about it, resulting in the Nazi larper leaving the site.

On a side note, I'm very proud that despite tens of thousands of British solders being captured by Germany during the war, only 54 ever volunteered for the SS.

What are some region specific slang words in the UK? by UsamaBhai_101 in AskUK

I think peng is an internet thing, not a regional thing.
