Hoi Squeamous

As a school technician? No, I did it for about a year. I left uni in Leicester and outside the university there's fuck all to do with a science degree. Worked in a bar for 6 months, then a school in Rutland for a year as a computers in science tech, setting up/devising datalogging experiments for the kids and being general PAT testing/maintenance dogsbody. I didn't really go back from there, it was a step up. I got a job in a medical research facility as a technician with more money and responsibility and everything. The job used my degree education better and rather than re-train me, gave me some training in something practical rather than academic. I'm useless for anything else now, my role is so specific, but there are at least a few places that do it in the UK and I could go abroad and do it. Just as I took the job (it's been 6 years now), all this stem cell research started bearing fruit and micromanipulation skills of said stuff became really useful. Hence, I was really lucky :yup:.

You growing a cawk on the ear on a mouses back, now that's sick

I haven't got a problem with the worm beast eating the mouse, merely that it's doing it for the amusement of a bunch of retards. It's to all our misfortune that despite their obvious lack of status on the evolutonary scale they still possess the opposable thumbs necessary to operate digital recording equipment.
 
:lol:

Pmsl!

Oh, and if I could actually grow a cock on a mouse do you think I'd be talking to you lot? Or married come to think of it....

Well! That's a very cynical way of putting it! :shifty:

I believe I was trying to pass exams at the time and going to 2/3 lectures was a prerequisite for being allowed to stay on in the uni bar for another year.

And the ultimate goal was a degree presumably. I'm just interested in what you were studying at the time.
 
No need for an adjudicator, we're just chatting about stuff.

Are you like a competitive person in :earl: or something else.

The only difference is that you are making a value judgement on the people who are recording the event. The event itself is just the harshness of nature.

I'm taking her to the Vintage Fesival on friday night. Seeing as she gets tipsy just sniffing wine it should be hilarious. :glag:

Does she do that old lady type of drunkeness where they laugh like drains for hours on end and keep thumping you on the arm in that 'eh? EH?' sort of a way? :fist:

That's meaningless, the motivation is neither here nor there. The fact of the matter is that in nature the big bug thing would kill the mouse and eat it. Not necessarily in that order. It would not get a dead one and heat it up to body temperature prior to eating it.

You are verging on anthropomorphising in order to pass judgement on morons. The fact is that what they recorded is more natural than filming a warmed up corpse being eaten.

Why they did it is irrelevant.

In fact it probably gave us a better "natural science insight" for that. As they didn't fell encumbered by the normal social mores when filming it. The BBC would have shown something much more sanitised.

Well giant centipedes do scavenge as well as catch live prey so a dead one is perfectly OK.

I actually have no issue with the centipede, its motivation is not in question. They are predators, they eat. However, the motivation of the video makers is an issue. They are getting their jollies at the expense of the mouse. A small thing perhaps but I tend to distrust those so jollied as it is often a small step to more vicious past times.

My objection is solely with the video makers - unattractive though I find the wee multi-legged type.
