This is just too good:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17491344
You can't make it up. If this was a joke in a film, people would complain that no, this couldn't happen, the organizers of such an event would, surely, phone up the embassy and ask to borrow the CD, if they didn't require the team to bring a recording of their own to begin with. Preposterous! Couldn't happen!
Real life, you make the greatest comedy!
Check the video, it's just too much fun to watch her expression and try to find the moment when she decides that, no, this isn't right, I shouldn't be all ceremonial to this song...

Of course, the only way to top this, to put the cherry on top of it, would be if it turns out that someone hoaxed the BBC and they had played the correct anthem, after all...oh, please, make it happen...who speaks Kazakh and can check?

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.

Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

From my time in Kuwait, I'm not sure it was a mistake. They sometimes had a crazy "sense" of humor. Our job was to protect U.S. ships from USS Cole style attacks. Here's a couple of exchanges:
USN Flunky: Is that vessel cleared to enter the harbor.
Kuwaiti Port Controller: No, he is dangerous terrorist, shoot him.
USN: Are you serious?
KPC: (agitated) Yes, yes, shoot him now! Shoot him! HE IS TERRORIST!
USN: (on radio). KPA marks vessel blah blah as a hostile, proceed with escalation, do not let him enter the harbor.
KPC: SHOOT!!!!
USN: We have to follow our rules of engagement.
KPC: I was kidding, he is okay.
-----------------------------
Kuwait Port Authority Director: My friend, why do you not have any of your American military women come and work in the port control office.
Morale Hazard: Sir, our Commanding Officer's policy is to have only men work in the KPA office out of respect for your customs.
KPA: My friend, it is okay. We would love to have your American military women work with us. But no fat women. Tell me something my friend, why are your American military women so fat?
MH: uhhh.....
KPA: They are not fat on TV. In your show, JAG, they are not fat, send us some of those.
MH: Durka durka?
------------------------------
KPA controller surfing bestiality porn while on the job.
USN: What in God's name are you looking at?
KPA: Nothing, nothing.
USN: Aren't you afraid Allah will find out.
KPA: Allah doesn't see this.
USN: I thought Allah saw everything.
KPA: He does, but he doesn't see this.

It would be the embassy of a central-Asian former soviet republic so I guess CDs wouldn't be out of the question. Could be a USB stick, could be a file sent by email, whatever.xtian wrote:"Borrow the CD" ? This is XXIst century, they downloaded the mp3.
I don't know if it happened, but it could happen.
Just downloading it seems to be their problem.
@MH:
No offense meant, but with a foreign official telling a bunch of armed American soldiers protecting assets that there is the enemy, shoot him, I wouldn't have expected there to be any survivors.
It's nice to know you fellas aren't quite as trigger happy as, well, the news make you look.
Did they pull that one before?

That was actually the first time. To the best of my recollection, the boat in question was a slow fishing dhow and it complied with the initial warnings to stop. Even if he didn't, he was going so slow, there would've been time to give him ample warnings to heave to. If it was a very high speed craft that looked out of place and we had only seconds to decide shoot or not, the outcome may have been different.@MH:

The director of the port authority was asked to not let it happen again.
