Re: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Methinks that others have made the same conclusion, but I will once again state that IMHO, once all the dust has settled from this entire tawdry affair that the end results are not going to be a 'Happy Ending' for anyone!
Especially Ginge and Whinge.
And frankly, DILLIGAF!

The thought has crossed my mind on occasion that maybe it is high time that Merchant Shipping were armed in similar ways to some Merchant Ships during WW11.

Re: My first car
My first Car was a brand new TA22 1974 Toyota Celica with the 1600 OHV engine. That engine lasted nearly 10 years and was replaced by a used 1600 DOHC engine which did about 80,000km before being completely rebuilt with 3/4 racing Camshafts. Suspension had previously been upgraded to a Race/Rally se...

The munitions factories in NATO countries are going to be busy from next week! (I heard from someone who works in one of these places that they have been working flat out until recently, then it all went a bit quiet).

TV news here in South Australia showed footage of the floods and then a very brief interview with someone supposedly from the Dubai Bureau of Meteorology ( or whatever it is called there) explaining how Cloud Seeding is occasionally used and how it works. The News footage then cut to some 'Climate E...

Love that one, Woody, but what does concern me a bit is that someone, somewhere, is stupid enough to believe that photo is genuine!

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
There was a particularly nasty shooting at a school, here, on tuesday. A 12 year old shot and killed one other 12 year old and severely wounded two other 12 year olds.
