Yup, that's crazy. Brittany got some big storms a few days ago.

Of course, it's exceptional. Do not be afraid of living in France: it's not a country known for its climatic phenomenons XD.

I mean, every place on Earth has dangers. Holland would be pretty fucked if there were a tidal flood, for example. And if you can't put your finger on anything dangerous on your immediate vicinity, there's always Yellowstone peeking around the corner to see if it will or won't cause a mass extinction just for fun. It's all so hazardous here, you may as well stop worrying altogether, 'cause there's literally no point.

I never really worried: I'm not the one yelling at our government because we have around 60 nuclear reactors online :lol:

Speaking of nuclear, there's apparently a controversy kicking off now over a nuclear plant they want to build over in the UK. In the midst of it all, a study commissioned by Ireland's radiological protection body concluded that the project would have negligible impact on the Irish Sea or Ireland itself. Yeah, no duh, these things aren't actually built to leak radioactive material. :boon:

Anyway, this happens to be my Image th (i.e. 12000th) post! Don't believe me? Check this out:

Oh, yeah, that strange theory. I never quite agreed with that, given all the different axioms they begin with. Afterwards it all makes sense, but those strange assumptions they make at the very start make it all too easy.

Anyway, gratz Plumster!

Thanks guys! :mrgreen:
And yes, the things they accept are bizarre. It's very easy to call BS on some of the side proofs they do too, but seemingly that's because they're not fully explained.

Not liking the redesigns for the vehicles either, they look like Minion-Cars hybrids.

I used to love watching Bob the Builder when I was young.
Regarding the "reboot":

I feel like a little bit of my childhood died seeing that image. I'm not even angry, I'm just sad and disappointed.

Yeah, and this is probably only the start. One can only shudder as they ponder what potential "modernisations" are given to the ol' theme song.

Seriously though, that animation style...just no. I supposed it might not be that bad, but it doesn't feel right to call this "Bob the Builder."

Yea.. maybe if this was a new show under a new name I'd be more comfortable with it but this rework feels like they just want to push the past 10+ years down like they never happened. You just can't see old Bob and new Bob as the same person.
