BBC haven`t been upto much in Libya either along with the other uk channels.

        I really liked the bloke they had on the BBC. (General Chat) - Arganth, Mar 13, 18:27:14
        
        I don't remember people panicking *that* much about Chernobyl at the time (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:09:23

        and because (General Chat) - LowestoftBoy, Mar 13, 18:15:42
        
        the fact is they may not be able to stop these exploding either (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:13:15

        iI don't think there's much they can do, except the concrete tomb thing (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:20:15
        
        anyway, I hope this puts the chilean govt off letting those cunts Suez build one here (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:25:10
  - that won't help the nuclear meltdown much (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 17:52:53
    - Even a meltdown isn't disastrous so long as it's contained within the steel container (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:11:12
      - meltdown will result in the metal containment chamber being breached though... (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:13:51
        
        Not necessarily - indeed they're just saying the same thing on the BBC... (n/m) (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:19:23
        
        incidently ( a little off topic but relevent) (General Chat) - emmaroyds, Mar 13, 18:24:08

        No, it's not. (General Chat) - Arganth, Mar 13, 18:48:15

        I have BBC World; but it's generally shit (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:26:49
        
        I think it's ok. When there's big news the coverage is pretty decent (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:28:42
        
        Oh, yeah there's CNN too; but that's a waste of time (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:41:16
