Benazir Bhutto killed in attack
Let the comments and Riser's amusement begin.
Personally I think she was a nutter. She knew the risks and should also have known her security wasn't up to the job. Regardless of how you feel about her political views, she let her supporters down. You can't lead if you're dead.
We knew it was coming. It took a whole 15mins for the BBC to have some toff telling us it was down to Bin Larden and his merry crew.
On a personal note though a good time to be opening a call centre in northen India don't you think?
Yes, anything that puts people back into a desperate job market over here is good for me.
I saw this morning she was hit in the attack.. from your post I saw she had died.
Someone that attracts that much attention in that area will eventually share her fate.
i can't say i know too much about her, and really have no idea what affect on the region it will have. no doubt there will be a split amonst her party and in fighting between them and that general that is in charge.
someone like to encourage my laziness and give me a brief overview of the implications of this.
Scotland will have to surrender to India.
This could be considered for a Darwin Award.
and what has india to do with this.
Everything. For a Scot you sure do like to bash the US but are clueless on everything else.
It has something to do with butterflies.
There will be fall out across the region resulting in a boom in India's economy. They are short of talentless fcukwits with incomprehensible accents to staff their call centres. You are the natural choice.
Just as a side note on that the accents are made worse by the VOIP solutions they always use nowadays to route the calls to India. I had to talk to one of the girls I knew from the office when she was over there training and her voice sounded VERY different. Yes its bad but then made worse by technology.
'Hello, John speaking, how can I help you'
'you're name isn't John and you can start by stopping lying to me'
Works great until you realise you've been routed back to the UK on overflow..
Shocking isn't it. If I call BT free I wind up in a call centre in India. If I call the boozer down the road the fcukers want £0.05, cheeky cnuts.

the difference being i can find the countries on the map
.
anyway since you are all so knowledgeable on this subject i would like to know how her death is going to affect things as opposed to her being alive, anyone able to speculate.
The US is the reason she left exile and went back to Pakistan to make a run for the democracy. Now that she's dead, Mr. President over there will most likely remain in power.
India and Pakistan are already at odds with each other. Having her in power would have probably ended that confrontation. Now Musarif (sp) remains in power, is seen as the reason she was assasinated and now can be regarded as a ruthless killer who will do anything to remain in power.
Not only that on the news of the weak futures and her death, the US stock market is dropping heavily today. World affairs.. follow them.
india and pakistan being at odd's with each other is nothing new, the general in charge was never going to give up power and i thought she was corrupt anyhow?
She was good at motivating people to support her.. little else. I don't know much about her except she was more willing to work for the Pakistani people while supporting the US.
true.

Thomas, you are the gayest observer of international politics that Rise has ever had the pleasure of receiving...*smiles and waves*...
"Up your arse, you Scouse lout." Manchester publican to a drunk and much younger Tom.
....*BB back on the block*.....
Good to see you Man!!!!
Hey there, Chief.
You doing well, Steve? Good to see you, mate.
Nothing 'allegedly' about it - the only sucky part is that I can't do anything about policy and stuff like that. The word is, I think, 'figurehead'.
Doin well in the new year.... Can't complain at all...
Things fine for you Man???
I'm busier than a one-armed, buck-toothed, old crow of a hooker on New Year's down by the docks, Chief, but goin' well. Sure.
Workin' my arse off and enjoying life.
Tried to have phone sex with a Canadian tart not so long back. [/opportunist].
How's the family, mate? Everyone cool? lol
Excuse the pun there, what given the gloriously low temps that I know you and all of Michigan are currently experiencing.
Who's going to win the Superbowl, mate? Please tell me someone other than the Patriots.
Ah, we hit a warm spell last week.... Lost a foot of snow on the ground, got 2 inches of rain, set record high temp.s, went into flooding conditions, & then snowed last night & it's 40 now.... Can't tell from one minute to the next weather to put the sled back up in the shed, or leave it out yet..... [shrug]
Everyone is doing well around here.... We're all building new machines... I built & the we ordered parts for Matt my oldest.... Got a bad board & had to send it back.... Brett, my son, is getting his parts this weekend..... Man, I've built 10 machines in the last month.... Getting a little burnt out with it all....
Super Bowl???? Don't have a clue..... I'll watch it, but other than that, wouldn't know....
Unseasonably warm here lately too, then yesterday, it went from rain to the biggest damn snow I've seen in a long time. We got accumulation in like 5 minutes. It was crazy!
I'll post some pics in a new thread...
Please put one in of that glorious wife of yours. [/opportunist -- take two].
Hey, why not some action shots?
"Mrs Jef in bikini whilst snow melting on front lawn"
"Mrs Jef in bikini making snow man on front lawn"
"Mrs Jef in bikini and rolling snow balls; then throwing them at me provocatively with smile on face"
The winter melt is endless for action shots, Jef. Get the Cannon out and go wild, mate.
I'll see what I can do for you B!
Your thread was limited in this regard, I note. rofl.
Jef with his Cannon, 7.6 megapixel, $2000 camera.
"I took pictures of the snow falling, guys!".
Uh, not so much. It is a 4 or 5 year old 4.1 MP $400 Sony...
It's a nice camera, but not nearly what you made it out to be.
=o)
