Tuna does Ottoman History Podcast

[Neil]

My recollection was some folks were making fun of the fact that 600 people had crammed onto a ferry built for 200.

Overcrowding is a way of life in these places.  The infrastructure was all built either in the colonial period or at the height of the Cold War, but the populations have exploded in the last 30 years.

It's like when you see those people riding  on the roofs of trains in India.  Some of them get fried by overhead powerlines.

Thanks Neil.

Given the current state of Turkish-Egyptian relationship, staying out of Languish because we made fun of dead Egyptians is a bit silly.

[Neil]

You're welcome.

I remember it being at least 3 or 4.  It was kind of creepy. 

I would demand we go to the thread to confirm but I think it died with the last version of the board.  I do remember it was all Viking's fault though.

In any event, Tuna acted very childish over it all.

Thanks Neil.

He's been promoted from passenger to 'conductor'

I laughed.

Viking's trolling pushed our tuna population to zero.

Is the podcast any good?

At what part of the sentence is the smiley directed?

[Grinning_Colossus]

Well, even if it would have been somehow silly of him to leave Languish but stay in Turkey despite to Erdogan's poor relations with the Egyptian junta... it's irrelevant because he apparently lives in New Jersey.

I don't see how the latter follows former...or given this sentence, I don't see how it is silly to have been upset over jokes about dead Egyptians in light of current Turkish-Egyptian relations.

Thanks for the link. I remember Tuna, smart guy; good to see he's doing well.

I remember something about him leaving but not the details until it was recounted here.
