Do bombs really have countdown clocks on them???

[janaage]

And do they really make a noise with every second?

Like they do in the films.

Bloody stupid if they do really.  Just make a silent bomb with no countdown clock and that'll fuck the bomb disposal unit up.

Just a Wednesday afternoon thought.

That's just the sort of question I'd expect from one the Openwork lot.

 I asked one of the advisers and he reckons they use digital timers.... but from my experience advisers no fuck all about anything.

[janaage]

Don't get me started on Openwork advisers, thick as f.....

I had one the other day wondering why his computer kept telling him the letter he was printing wasn't todays date.

"I says clearly here, 25th July 2005"

"JULY?!?!?"  I replied

"Oh, I wonder how that could have happened"

Back to the bomb, just makes it too easy for the bomb disposal unit, why not set it to blow up with 10 seconds left on the clock, that'd set the cat amongst the pigeons.

 That sort of underhand tactic will only give terrorists a bad name.

Or just make the clock count upwards, they wouldn't have a fucking scooby.

Another thought, why do we always seem to go on holiday during our summer.  We complain about the winter, "gets dark too early, bloody brass monkeys outside..."  yet most of us always go on holiday when the weather here is ok.  Surely it'd make more sense to escape our shit weather for a sunnier climate.

Conversely I'm going somewhere even colder, once it gets cold.

[sonicyouth]

Jan's having an existential crisis I think.

I starting to question everything.  Also trust no one!!  Not even yourself.

I think i heard on Fight Club that modern bombs vibrate instead of make noise.

Indeed:

nine out of ten times it's an electric shaver, but occassionally it's a vibrator

I don't have a vibrator.....nevermind

I only found out the other day that a nail bomb actually has nails in it :shock:

Youngsters these days. :roll:

Another question, why does your MOT disappear every time you have to renew your car tax?

Fucking looked everywhere for the bloody thing and it's gone.  The thing is I know I've seen it recently.

Sade what did you think was in a nail bomb then?

[land_of_bo]

Is a dirty bomb called a dirty bomb because it doesn't have a nice shiny casing? Also, are A bombs full of A's from broken keyboards?
