With such a huge backlog of Reader Mail mounting
up it was it starting to become clear I really should pull my finger
out and get the Overflow cranking again. As far as I can tell there
hasn"t been one since December so you can expect plenty more
over the coming weeks.
If you didn"t know - the Overflow
is here because I receive more than I can fit on the main page!
This doesn"t mean what you will find here is crap... just
that it was far too good to be deleted!
Anyway you may remember I posted this email in
my 11th May update:

Subject: Amusing!!!
Hi, It was amusing to see
the supercilious
posters created by Mr. Andrew and posted on your site.
It is a classic case of " Look who's talking!".
The British have a history of colonising various countries
the world over. They spread their venom in various countries
insidiously and when they had control took to marauding
and pillaging the lives and property of their victims. Obviously
they weren't invited to do so.
Students, techies
and other professionals who are invading their country in
hordes at present do so after passing their immigration requirements.
Mr. Andrew should understand that it is his country which
requires outside professional help and not the other way round.
If he feels so strongly about this, he should probably start
educating his fellow British morons to start working hard
to meet this challenge head-on. After all, the colonised could
one day turn in to colonisers!!!!

... and as you may expect there has been
some impassioned responses:

Subject: RE: Urgent ...unprovoked attack on me by Kalind...
Dear Awesome One, My humour that
you published on your site the other week was attacked last
week by someone that called themselves Kalind. It was more
or less unprovoked (I felt) and I felt that it was essential
that I correct his or her mistakes. I have attached it here,
and put it as .pdf's. I realise that it"s a bit big,
but even you commented on the saliency of his points, ...so
I just HAD to re-earn your respect, didn"t I? ...Can
you at least put it on your site with a link to the main
page?
It will be easy to dismiss what I say as some sort of racist
rant, but the truth is that I have never in my life been
racist, have dated girl"s from different cultures
in the past, and have many friends of every colour, race
and religion. What I AM though, is someone employed as an
Analyst that can see the over-stretched resources buckling
under the strain of excessive freeloading by foreigners.
We have paid into the health service for all our lives,
and yet must wait just as long as a recently arrived immigrant
for a vital operation. I know that there is a viewpoint
that says be fair to everyone, but I would like to see that
applied to the British too.
I do not think that it is too much to ask.

Kalind, valid points and theres no problem
with Students, techies and other professionals who are invading
the country in hordes, but you obviously have absolutely
no bloody idea of the scale of the true issue! Its the Eastern
Europeans, Asians, Russians, Pakistanis, Africans etc who
are not students, not techies, not professionals who are
invading the country in hordes, who dont get picked up by
immigration (and when they do just end up getting huge state
handouts), they bring with them an increase in crime, they
chew up resources of our state health service - the list
goes on. Oh and yeah - its the governments fault! Think
i'll move to OZ - see ya soon.

Subject: Clips (Scotch adverts)
Hi Mate, I know you dont want to become
a political forum but as a reply to Kalind from last week,
His amusing rant about the 'we're full' posters for the
UK is badly founded because although his history is correct
re Britains empire building, this was way over a century
ago. There is supposedly a skills shortage here. Any trained
individual who is qualified is therefore welcome but surely,
the desire to relocate to another country would carry with
it an interest in integrating and contributing to that society.
Sadly not, as his true colours came to the fore with his
comment 'British morons' and 'The colonised may turn in
to colonisers'. This is a sign he has no intention of trying
to integrate/contribute to a united kingdom but is happy
to make veiled threats. Pathetic.

Mr Orsm, WTF is this prick talking about,
we are being invaded by all the work-shy fuckers from other
countries... if the general contribution of the immigrants
to the uk was as he said was by 'Students, techies and other
professionals' that would be a different case, but that
isn't the case, there is no/little skills that the majority
can offer, many cant speak English, and those that do work
rather than just breeding and claiming off the government,
take on all the minimum wage jobs, that lets be frank, we
have more than enough chavs that can do that work anyway.
So kalind, get off your anti British high horse and put
forward arguments based on reality not your own pre conceptions
and prejudice.

Now im not gonna rant and rave but im
afraid kalind you've got it all wrong. Many of the freeloaders
in this country havent passed any such immigration tests,
they are here illegally. there are countless story's of
illegal immigrants killing, robbing, raping and getting
away with it because they havent got the right documents
to even be in this country. the most upsetting being a DRUNK,ILLEGAL
immigrant WITH NO LICENCE AND NO INSURANCE mowing down and
KILLING a FIVE YEAR OLD BOY. what did he get? 5 FUCKING
MONTHS AND THEN PACKED OFF BACK HOME. and im not joking.
Cheers orsm keep up the fantastic work mate.

Subject: F-16 Bird Strike, Movie and Sound ...
F-16 engine ingests bird after takeoff.
A "Bird Strike," as seen through the HUD. You
can see the bird just Prior to impact. These guys were very
cool; note the heavy breathing... they certainly flew longer
than one would expect before ejecting. Airspeed can be observed
on the HUD's upper left corner. On the other hand, it just
goes to show how quickly your day can go to pieces - 45
seconds from strike to ejection.
All and all, not bad for the
emergency checklist, two relight attempts, and picking out
a plowed field for impact. You can follow the audio attached
to it and hear the conversation between the pilot and instructor
pilot and the tower including the pilot saying they were punching
out. The tower didn't seem to copy the IFE transmission.
The video continues until impact.
A classic "buying the farm" as you can see the plow
rows get bigger. A real nice job from the aircrew by keeping
their cool and turning the aircraft away from populated areas.
You can hear the aircraft voice warning system telling them
they have a problem and referring to the "D-6 NL"
which means there is no engine RPM. There were two attempts
to relight the jet engine. But, evidently there was too much
damage from the bird strike and they had to get out. No one
hurt and no one killed! |

Hi my friend. I"ve been a visitor

I took out the earphones I notice an attached label that
was so absurd I took it around all day showing people. I
think the other visitors of your site would probably get
a kick out of it too. I promise you, these headphones came
out of the box exactly as shown in the picture.

hi Orsm! I know you enjoy getting photos
of the weird, funny, impressive type & I thought you'd
enjoy these photos I took in Amsterdam late last year.
If you've never seen the place
wow... pack your bags now! It's such an eye opener... the
constant whiff of grass as you walk past the countless number
of "coffee shops" ... the endless amount of sex
shops & sex shows... (the photos of the blow up lamb indicate
they cater for Kiwi visitors!)... the red light district is
a real eye opener... the girls in the window displays! Some
are gorgeous! Some are fucking horrible! Some are almost tempting!
The canals are great to see
... so are the buildings! (most are on a lean & we laughed
so much wondering what the builders had on their coffee breaks!
The main transport in Amsterdam is bikes! thousands of the
fucking things! Bikes have the right of way almost everywhere
and visitors are always getting warning bells from the locals!
Some of the bikes are awesome to see... its quite common to
see multi seats on a bike and the kids seem to accept this
as a part of life. The locals are very nice... they accept
tourists freely & I know i'll return for a longer stay
next time... |

pretty sure these are classified as North
America's largest load by trucks. theres lots of support
vehicles for these moves, a spare truck for pulling or pushing,
another truck with a trailer that has spare part's {tires
mainly} and about 10 escort vehicles. The speed they move
at is about 50kmh {10 uphill} so it's not too hard to pass.
