I watched it, thought it was good slow starter but good none the less. I am also interested in this type of thing. Not sure about visiting it, although I was there or there abouts in modern warfare iirc sniping through the undergrowth lol. But seriously it's very interesting really. 

Lol yes. I've been there, but I was too busy shooting at Imran Zakhiev. 

It is all very interesting. Unless you're my mates then they're like "wtf are you interested in that for!! Beer, t1ts, more beer, more t1ts!! Football, t1ts, beer!, that's all you need to be interested in!"

But yeah the program is very good and big budget, the Russian's and America (I think) use a different scale to dose rates than Europe and most of the world so its good when they use a reference like medical x-rays where you can compare.

How many episodes are there?

There's a few different ways that we've measured radiation over the years and it depends on whether you're measuring radioactivity in the air/environment or if you're measuring a dose equivalent absorbed its Rads or Greys.

There's also Roentgens, sieverts, Currie, Becquerels. I may be wrong the absorbed/radioactivity given off but it's just off the top of my head. 

A CT scan gives a dose of about 8 years worth of background radiation, about 20 milisieverts. An X ray of teeth is about 0.001Ms. So dont get too many CT scans.

In the 2nd episode it says the radiation near the exposed core where the firemen were, was 15,000 roentgens an hour which is about 13000 rads. A single dose of 1000 rads will kill you. 

Then there were the "liquidators" who had to go on the roof and shovel off all the graphite and other debris. All died. 

And to think it all started from one man's pride.

I may not be fully accurate with my info above. It's just bits and pieces I've learned over the years.

Your local power station might do tours and probably more to see and learn.

I've already had a tour of Heysham power plant. Interesting indeed but, fortunately for the planet there's been no ecological disaster there. 

I'm sure some of you have seen part one of HBO's Chernobyl. 

I've been interested in stuff like this for over a decade. Things to do with radiation and nuclear materials. Fascinating how something we can't even see and to some extent feel (initially) so when people describe ionizing radiation as tasting like metal, it's very interesting to me to procrastinate and wonder why. 

There have been so many horrendous nuclear accidents on a smaller scale, mostly from criticality events where someone has not intended to trigger a self sustaining chain reaction yet it's occured anyway. The worst one I can think of is the TokaiMura criticlity event where one man was decanting a mixture with uranium in, into a larger container with another solution in and it gave enough mass (critical mass) to cause an event. Even the shape of the container has to be taken into account when mixing. The mixing tank is stirred mechanically and it creates a vortex, pulling everything into the centre where the mass meets and....big blue flash (cherenkov radiation registers in the fluid in your eyeballs) (which you can observe emitting from fuel rods pulled from the core of a reactor) and the two workers got a massive dose of radiation, of gamma ray's.

Hisashi Ouchi was kept alive for nearly 3 months, despite losing all his skin, his muscles falling off his bones, losing all his white blood cells, the whole of the lining of his intestines, multiple organ failure, infections, multiple heart attacks. He was losing 10 litres of fluids per day, his bone marrow turned clear (he underwent multiple bone marrow transplants)

Rumour has it, the Japanese took it as a perfect opportunity to study and learn about the effects of radiation poisoning in humans.

There are pictures of him online in his state of decay. I wouldn't advise looking at them.

Anyway. 

I've thought about visiting Chernobyl and Pripyat for a few years now on the guides tours they have of the surrounding are and inside the new sarcophagus. 

Would it be of interest to anyone as, I have to book a group rather than individuals.

I've asked friends but they look at me like I've just asked them to poo in a box and hand it to me.

I think it would be interesting. 

Up to you guys. 

Maybe I'll get "cvnt" tattoo on my forehead. 

Let's face it, its astute.

Not many rural roads where the limit is 70 mph ...

The road in the video is. Or 60. Either way, it's not 29 lol.

I don't want one. I'd actively avoid women with tattoos.

Tron Legacy......

Awesome film. Underrated.

I've noticed that most people drive under the speed limit these days.

Especially on a national speed limit, rural road. They'll sit at 30 and no one will overtake and give plenty of space. So there's a 2 mile line of cars doing 29 and one doing 30. In a 70.

That enrages me on a galactic scale. 

Theres a stretch of road between Bacup and Burnley where this always happens. 

A671/A59

From 2:36 to 5:55.... is where people sit at 29mph. Without fail. Every. Damn. Time.

Just a heads up.

The Guest is on film 4 right now. It's one of those little gems you discover one night when you've given up channel hopping. 

Great synthwave soundtrack, too.

It's not groundbreaking but decent.

If one thing has been proven by Brexit it is that we consistently vote in a shower of tossers whether they be right or left wing.

 

Of course. 

They get into power through friends and friends of friends. If your parents know/knew the right people and you're loaded, the only other thing you need is to be in the right place at the right time and you're in.

No idea really. Cross that bridge when I come to it

Good guy. It's going to be excellent. 

I'm going to Istanbul in the next 5/6 weeks.

Either business class flight or via euro train under one ticket that allows a months worth of travel.

Or...driving. its 2230 miles to Istanbul. I'll have the 335D by then which does about 45mpg on mway. It's about £300 one way so obviously it's gonna cost £700 with the driving I'll do in Turkey, too.

Any advice? Anyone done it? Anyone want to come?

And then when you sell your twin turbo z to someone who hates it....

Not a patch on this thing though.......

Playstation speed.

Wow. Either a very good driver or very lucky.  

Totally wrestled that whore all around the track, either way! 

Can really see in the clip by how it handles,  just how far back the engine is mounted.

How difficult are you expecting the rest of the engine swap to be? 

450bhp in a 350Z feels plenty fast enough. I never got bored of that much power when I had my Z.

Get yourself along bud, you coming in the 335?

 

Just stick an M badge on it and youl blend it lol theres 14 M cars coming aswell as the Z gang

Yes it would be nice. It'll be an M Sport, does that count? Lol.

Can I come in a Deautsche wagon?

I don't know about you good folk but, this has always been one of my favourite cars. And I'm not that much of a Porsche fan but, this video is really good.

Hmmm I dunno. Nick Abbot on LBC can be pretty harsh with people who don't agree with him.

Where's the enjoyment in buying a car and then not using it ?

Profit. I like investing money. 

How many of you remainers are adamant that brexiteers are all racist, double digit IQ, coal mine dwelling, little Britain, swivel eyed, knuckle dragging morons who shouldnt be allowed to operate machinery intended for ages 4 and below and undergo  covert sterilization schemes?

I don't discuss Brexit because it's a toxic subject. 

I voted leave. Not because I'm racist. Not because I'm anti EU or believe we can reclaim our empire.

I voted leave because I KNEW it would totally catch our government sleeping. Totally complacent. It threw the cat amongst the sleeping pigeons. 

One things is for certain, British politicians and politics will never be the same again. They've been exposed for the bunch of arrogant, privileged, incapable idiots that they are.

I hope that after all this is done and dusted, as a country, we come together and we make politicians work for their wage and keep them under scrutiny and totally accountable to us.

Not as they are now or were. Simply on the gravy train from Eton to the benches via expenses, from grey suits to grey hair. 

Far, far, far too tribal and outdated and as we've seen, completely impotent in the face of any real challenge.

If remain had won, it would have been business as usual. But they didn't, and its exposed them.

A 5K 335D with 100BHP over standard? What could possibly go wrong

Nothing. Everything.  

Perhaps BMW really restricted that engines

capability. 

As for the price, well, that's just the going rate for a 2010 335D with average miles. 

I dare say 290bhp and 420ib/ft will be more than enough fun. It's only a temporary car.

Also....its just dawned on me as I write this that before the end of 2019 the R33GTR is legal for import to north America, which will drive prices sky high like it has with the R32. 

Perhaps it'd be wise to find a decent standard one and keep it stored a few years. That would be an investment.
