Test signal alert 15:00 - Apr 23 with 1842 viewsDubtractor

I can already feel the effects of that covid jab jiggerypokery kicking in.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

I thought it was a bit odd to use a generated voice with a US accent.

There was an American voice after the alert noise, assuring you it was just a test.

I think that may be why I suddenly have an overwhelming desire to go and buy a semi-automatic weapon.

I'm wondering whether Lucky Ivor's alert was a general comment on Spurs or specific to today's game - in which case he should have posted a spoiler alert before the test signal alert for those of us who want to keep a bit of suspense in store for 'Match of the Day 2'...

There may be a conspiracy here, but it’s around the awarding of the up to £5m contract to Fujitsu. Based on timings, it seems to be a bargaining tool to ‘encourage’ them to build a new tech centre here in the UK. News of their investment broke a few weeks before the closing date for the alert system tender. I doubt anyone else had a look in. Given we don’t need these alerts, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the whole thing was contrived in order to find a legitimate route to give Fujitsu public money.

Fujitsu are also responsible for the appalling Post Office accounting scandal, for which they have have never been held accountable despite ruining the lives and livelihoods of many post masters.

Dodgy as fook. My conspiracy theory may not have legs [it’s a good one though ], but there’s something going on with all of this that’s ‘murky’. There has to be, it’s the Tories.

I suspect there's a fair element of truth in what you say - as otherwise it is an absolute nonsense of an idea.

Previously the air raid warning was just that, a warning of an imminent air faid. People were aware of what was being warned about, and knew what action they should take.

What imminent threat would require a warning via the phone, that the use of TV and radio would not suffice ? What advice would be given on how to respond. "Run for the hills " , "Bend over, stick your head between your legs and kiss your ar se goodbye ". ? Buy all the loo rolls and dried pasta from the Supermarket.

If there is prior warning that something is going to happen and we should wait for the phone alert. Folk would simply take evasive/preventative action before any phone alert

imagine the panic if hoaxers spread the word that they had received a warning of an imminent nuclear attack

The blunt reality is there is very little folk can do, other than panic.

Well I watched 'Match of the Day 2' last night and Lucky Ivor's test signal alert actually didn't need a spoiler alert. 'Spurs are sh1t' needed an understatement alert...
