Epic fail

250k for a fucking ex council studio flat? I know prices go up, but fuck me

Just googled it: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-28729470.html

A mate of mine used to rent in that building. The balcony used to flood every time it rained, took quite some time for 15cm of water to dry out...

14yo George Stinney Executed - True Story - YouTube

State sponsored execution of a 14 year old minus evidence. In 2014 Carolina is still fighting against having the case reopened and investigated.

They are building a new block of flats about 25 metres from the Charlie Browns flyover.

It looks close when you drive down Chigwell Road, but it looks even closer when you go over the A406 flyover.

The housing project is called Scenix.

Smart...

Apparently being chased the wrong way on Frobisher Rd Harringay and took to the pavement to try and evade on coming traffic. No idea when, just seen it here.

Disgusting. And depressing/enraging (depending on mood/reader).

I had a discussion on Jeb Bush of "it's ok to execute people with mental disabilities" with Le Manfriend who suggested the governors may just trust their legal system to be perfect.

Fair enough, but if you've had a fair few letter campaigns for Amnesty you'd think at some point you'd read a book from the USA Skeptics that outlines problems with trials and the justice system. Or, in the case of a 14 year old...you'd double and triplecheck. But no.

Infestation risks.

You can buy a house in Upper Leytonstone for that money. Which is great, but you'd have to walk 20 mins to get to a nearest crack house.

Not any more:

The sword is mightier than the pen after all. I knew it!

Scarlett Johansson, obviously short of a few quid, takes work with SodaStream (whose factory is in the Occupied West Ban of Palenstine) rather than continuing in her role as an Ambassador for Oxfam.

It seems to me the existence of a DIY soft-drink machine is also a fail.

You can recarbonate any beer you fall asleep holding in the morning for breakfast.

I would like to take back my original statement and perhaps move it into the Epic Win thread.

You are wrong, the possibilities are endless and begin with fizzy tea!

I think there might be more too it to be honest. Oxfam's beef is that the factory is in a Jewish settlement, which is illegal according to international law, but the factory employs both Jewish and Palestinian workers who work along side each other. That at least sounds optimistic right?

I don't know the intricacies of this particular situation though so it could still be suspect.
