You sure? ICBA to google, but I was reasonably sure that was Pripyat.
ICBW, obviously.

Well I can't be 100% sure, but there's a lot of people who claim more
knowledge, like a few here
http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread_archive.asp?threadid=8951
and here http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/1026/

 

Well that seems to indicate that it's Chernobyl and an organised tour
(by car)

Also a link to a photo taken by another tourist of one of the same views
as on the Kidofspeed site (IYSWIM)

And ditto, 'The pictures of Chernobyl, and what it has become, are real'

I'd still like to do the organised tour

That's like saying Scotland is part of England.

 

"Although the USSR was nominally a union of Soviet republics (of which
there were 15 after 1956) with the capital in Moscow, it was in
actuality a highly centralized state with a planned economy."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ussr

Not that I'm saying "wiki" as you call it is necessarily correct, but at
least it's consistent.

I'd have a crack at that too, as it goes. UKRM does Chernobyl?

Dont know about the rest of the group
but at my age & health

a little radiation probably wouldnt hurt

Had $58 000 worth of it 6 years ago

 

In the Cold War dis you charge around like a headless chook crying,
"The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!", or, "The Soviets are
coming! The Soviets are coming!"?

I'd expand that to include don't eat anything at all and don't have a
cigarette unless you've thoroughly washed your hands since touching
anything in the area.

If I reached the point where I needed to drop an iodine tablet I'd
need new underwear.

 

No, it's not the same thing. A Geiger counter uses a gas tube
and charge amplification to detect passing radiation. A scintillation
counter records light emission from a sensitive material with a photo-
detector such as a PMT or avalanche photodiode.

I preferred "nuke the fuckers" but each to their own.

 

Russia never claimed the Ukraine as part of its territory. The Soviet
Republics were autonomous, and though leadership may have emanated
directly from Moscow, there was never any question that there were 15
distinct nations in the union.

 

I doubt it, TBH. And if you did no fucker would have understood you.

"Who's that then?"

"You know, the Soviets... people from the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics."

"Where's that then?"

"Oh, C'mon, the USSR. You know."

"Oh, you mean the Russkies?"

"Yes, the Russions are coming! Now get into that bomb shelter... oh
crap."

<Boom>

 

<sucks teeth>

Yeah but it was one big killing zone and Moscow reacted badly if a sibling
tried to leave the party early,

 

+1

There are few things as effecting as fondling a plutonium slug

 

I wouldn't know about that but I've worked on a couple of delivery
systems so I feel I've done my bit for World Peace.

 

Now that's the error of the era!
