Has everybody got the same abiding memory of that film?

NJS 3954 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I haven't watched it yet but when we went to Kiev in 2003 we did a city bus tour and the guide stated in a very matter of fact way that the wind was blowing away from Kiev that day and they reckon if it had been reversed they were looking at 50k deaths. Could be a scare story but it certainly had that affect on me. We were playing Leicester away that weekend and I remember it pissing down for about three days and I've always wondered how big a dose we got - they mentioned Cumbria taking the brunt so I was "glad" to be out of the North. I have no clue if there was a spike in cancer stats in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue if there was a spike in cancer stats in the UK. It doesn't really work like that, it's not a linear relationship. Beneath a certain level of radiation, the body can survive without any adverse effects at all. I suspect not a single person died in the UK as a result of Chernobyl. And the deaths around the Chernobyl region itself were less than you'd think, in double figures directly and perhaps hundreds in terms of reduced life span due to cancer. The programme has sensationalised things a bit. For instance, the 3 suicide volunteers didn't die as suggested, 2 of them are alive today and 1 died from an unrelated illness years later iirc.

NJS 3954 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I think they're also over hyping the "never happened on this planet before" angle - I think three mile island was pretty similar in terms of potential disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5877 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Cobra Kai Series 2. Still far better than it should be. Lots of cameos from cast members of the original film. Elisabeth Shue is rumoured to be a regular in Series 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes real life stories surpass fiction. Often in fact. But hats off to the production and direction of this. I even forgot about the accents as the acting was class. More like this please.

Ayatollah Hermione 12733 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I see Love Island is back on. I think it should be called “Hate Island” such is my level of contempt for that particular television show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Wor lass hasn't quite worked out that I'm paying absolutely no attention to it when it's on. She keeps making comments looking for me to come back with a response. The only response she's likely to get is turn this fucking shite off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's got the hint that if it's on she won't see me as ill either go out or. Go elsewhere and read or watch something else. She's not even bothered this year.

David Kelly 1115 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The one good thing about VAR was that it meant the match ran past Love Island last night. I'd have been to tired to move off the settee to get out of the way of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12733 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Can only imagine the bets you’re laying on Love Island. First to Shag, over 9 handjobs, things of that sort of nature, I’d presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34151 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I only discovered the concept of the show this week. A lass at work was explaining it. It's no wonder they end up topping themselves, it's fucking crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26588 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Never seen it. (Never will). Fucking hate 'reality' programmes or any bollocks with 'celebrity' in the title. I once heard two minutes of the first Geordie shore that the missus watched while I was in the next room. Horrendous. Fuck. That. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
