Anyone watching Open Mike and piss pot Martin Pyke crying about how he was never paid enough?

He's about to take some pot shots at the Wakelin twins.

Martin Pyke, on Open Mike. He's no Brod Dyke.

Martin Pike was the drunkest man alive when he handed me my under 11 coaches trophy. Have a cracking photo of it with my mullet in full flow.

And I love women, especially blondes, but especially brunettes.

 

[Stromageddon]

Especially women.

If Oscar Pistorius is proven to hold no advantage or disadvantage over regular athletes, would it be ethical for him to compete in the Olympics?

In much the same vein, would it be ethical for an able-bodied man were to compete in wheelchair athletics? It shouldn't matter whether the lack of using legs is real or artificial - it's all standardised, and able-bodied peoples hold no advantage or disadvantage.

He has already competed at the Olympics.

I know. I was asking about the ethics of it.

Ok, I've been in tears for the last 15 minutes over this. I can't believe the idiocy and epic missing of the point. This guy always makes the most ******ed posts on the uni forums...Anyway.

Our lecturer first posted this, saying we should be thankful that he doesn't make us do this form of pair programming:



So...this guy replies this in reply to the lecturers post:

Dear Stewart;
I believe that pair programming and teamwork is a very good approach. However, I think "sitting on other people's laps, etc" is going too far! An effectively good program can be coded by sitting next to other (like we do) and examine the code (if done properly). I do not think it is completely necessary to sit on each other lap, etc.
Is the above video a joke, or true?
Also, there are problems with it, including:-

1) People with disabilities: Someone who has a disability may not be able to sit on each other lab.
2) Discomfort: Many people may find it uncomfortable, due to "personal space" being infringed.
3) Bad posture: The "sitting on laps" can led to bad posture and overstress due to the other person being in the way.
4) Stress: Discomfort may cause stress and, therefore, bad code maybe written.
People do not (to my knowledge) see pilots sitting on laps. They each have their own seat and observe each other actions and/or the flight controls and systems. It should work on the same in programming. Each person observes what each other is doing and make sure that code is written and cross-checked.
Pair programming in the format we use is good because is strengthens relationships, communication and code effectiveness.

Unfortunately, we may have to work with people that we do not like. But several things can be done to mitigate this. I hope this has helped.
Kind regards,

Ohh shit sorry didn't look on the RHS

I remember their debut(s) against Hawthorn in 07. They both looked great. Can't wait for Gray to be back in '13.

There is so much promise in our list. Hope it comes to fruition

The problem with Oscar is that he thinks its about him, when the truth is its really about the world pretending they are PC
personally i think the wheelchairs should have wire ribbons on the back of them, like the dodgems, and if they hit the ground they get an electric shock
they have to ride fast to keep them in the air
the last person rolling wins the race
and buttons on the spokes like we used to have on our bikes as kids
here comes the red

Up here in the Riverland it is accepted/acknowledged that people from Waikerie have two heads due to their inbreeding.

How do earthworms get into the gutters of your roof?

a) you have the equivalent of a small garden in your gutters
b) birds
c) all of the above

Grass grows better in my gutters than anywhere else on my property.

Probably because I don't have a labrador running around in them.

Solution: Place labrador on roof.
