Chief engineer Mr Munky said <blockquote>we've been working hard most of the week to clear away all the old chat ready for our flagship new Doctor Who Forum. The new forum will accommodate the expected deluge of comment as a new actor takes over as the timelord. The split level structure will house the 'He's too young' sector and the much larger 'He's not as good as the last guy' level. Contingency plans are in place for a much smaller extension to be called the 'Yeah but Tom Baker was the best' pavilion.</blockquote> theumpire on "NEAT- O Challenge : Wrecking Ball" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1682#post-5156 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:04:02 +0000 theumpire 5156@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ There seems to be a certain laziness creeping into NEAT-O.

At present, the Giant Pub Skittles competition is scheduled to take place at Lords Cricket Ground, but a risk assessment is understood to have raised concerns ofer the safety of the spectatorsd and the competitors. The competition would see 2 people go head to head using a Komatsu PC400LC machine fitted with a 6,000lb wrecking ball attached to the boom and attempt to knock over ten 30ft pins made from concrete in the fewest swings possible. But a leaked HSE report suggests the strain placed upon the connecting pin for the wrecking ball could be so great that failure is inevitable. Further, it suggests the potential for inujury to a spectator from flying chunks of concrete would be so high, that public liability insurance for the event would be non-existant. Tonight, a spokesman for LOCOG (London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games)said they were aware of the report and will respond in due course, although he did suggest the HSE were trying to spoil the fun of honest blue-collar Americans who'd obviously be attracted to such a ridiculously violent sport fernandomando on "NEAT- O Challenge : Wrecking Ball" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1682#post-4842 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:27:21 +0000 fernandomando 4842@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Union defends ‘Wrecking Ball’ tactic The trade union ‘National Association of United Workers’ has defended its tactic of introducing a wrecking ball into negotiations with the airline industry, a spokesman told reporters. ‘Negotiations were going well,’ he said, ‘and we were simply arguing about the finer details of the resolution. Then the industry negotiators started making unreasonable demands and threatening to withhold staff discounts on duty free shops. We realised that extreme action was required to combat such unreasonable behaviour, and so we introduced the wrecking ball. I have to say, it came as quite a shock to them.’ ‘Quite a shock’ may be something of an understatement. The industrial wrecking ball, more frequently deployed for demolition of large commercial developments, swung its way into the negotiating room, instantly killing all but three key negotiators, and severely compromising the structural integrity of the building and endangering nearby properties. Structural engineers have ordered that no one be permitted to enter the building, and plans for its total demolition are currently being drawn up. An unrepentant union spokesman explained that the union had no regrets, ‘We have legitimately balloted our members on the full range of negotiation tactics. Just as we will fight to the end to preserve our ancient right to strike, so we will also fight, at whatever cost to human life, for our time honoured right to use a murderous wrecking ball in negotiations.'
