Agreed. Rather a bleak outlook tho. Only a matter of time before China makes moves on Taiwan which could trigger rather frightening consequences.

Don't know why West think they can interfere so much. Well, it's proven time and time again they can't.

Question really is have Taliban changed enough to negotiate an extension?

He can't win either way. All forces over there were damned staying or leaving. I just wonder what outcome would had been had 3 trillion dollars been spent building bridges rather than blowing them up.???

Whilst I, m here... Recently there seems to have been more evidence of other life on distant planets. Can you imagine the consternation if on their arrival BJ was introduced as our PM and Michael Palin as a wacky comedian. "Got that wrong didn't you?"....

Can't help but agree with that. There must be better material than those in our cabinet in most walks of life, but trouble is the people we like or would trust don't go near politics. Why didn't Michael Palin have calling to be PM? Because he, s decent perhaps.

Afraid so...until next visit at least (2 weeks) then if this one OK doing other eye... And surgeon said I must stay out of wind for a month... So will be no sailing for at least 6 weeks but small price to pay for better eye sight. Very impressed so far. Right eye without glasses already a match...

Fixed that for you Flecc. And by the way I said a viable opposition. (or meant to) There is a massive difference. How many people honestly think any other current party could run the country? Well obviously quite a few, especially on here, but obviously not enough for that party to hold any...

Fair point. But we haven't. We have a one party democracy, which is a contradiction. We don't need a revolution and a new system of governance for us to be represented. Just a viable opposition party. I do agree PR would be fairer... But no idea how we could implement it, especially whilst the...

I see the similarities but there is a subtle difference. With one our individual opinions are completely irrelevant until we have chance to change course, an alternative, which in reality we have never been offered by anyone since the referendum. Voting in Labour would not have changed Brexit...

You would have thought with growing evidence for positive aspects of vaccine anti vaxers would be changing their minds. All the ones I know are sticking to their guns.

To more serious issues. Who needs electric bikes. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/trampe-bicycle-lift-gif-86839 Is this a joke..??? Love it either way.

I had to visit bank last week. Lady I saw said more customers are now wearing masks than before lifting of restrictions. Said they were having far less arguments than when they tried to enforce requirement. Good old British attitude. Tell us to do something. No chance.. Suggest it might be...

Agreed. I, m in a similar position. I certainly would have been far more worried had I contracted Covid pre jab and pre heart op. For me and most of family who got it symptoms were mild.. Youngest daughter lost sense of smell for 8 weeks or so, grand kids were off food for a day... Which in...

Not quite sure what point you are making here, besides disagreeing with mine. Just wonder how your standpoint influences your life at moment. My household are trying and mostly succeeding in leading fairly normal lives. Going to boat in family group of upto 12, having family BBQs, attending...

Sums my thoughts up exactly.

https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/car-industry-news/2021/06/25/uk-road-deaths-drop-16-during-pandemic-year Perhaps we should lockdown to save road deaths. And stay at home, exercise in garden, never ride motorbikes or cross road or take part in any risky sports, become vegan, never drink, smoke...

Every single day on average, for the last 20 years 1534 people have died in the UK. Over the last week an average of 69 people have died per day with covid mentioned on their death certificate. (not necessarily causing death but probably contributing). That represents under 5% of deaths this...

Could be but according to both this report and from Porsche direct they are planning on 550 million litres being produced per year at their Chilean plant by 2026..(UK consumes approx 16 billion litres petrol pa) BMW are looking into a slightly different process but producing similar amounts of...
