I'm somewhat disappointed in you, God. If you were as omnipotent and all powerful as you advertise, you should have been able to smite a weak 80 year old, easily. Maybe I should put a complaint to your boss Zuess who knows what to do with a thunderbolt or two. You're on your final warning.

On a positive note they have built many places for incarceration which will come in handy when it to the reckoning time as the jailers become the jailed.

This was predicted by Ken McLeod in 2007 with his book The Execution Channel.

Come on David we're a cannie football team, Cannie defend, Cannie score, Cannie play quickly. Sorry for the obvious joke but things are where they are.

Why his head is not on a spike in front of Knessset is beyond me. It's the only way that folk like that will learn.

Of course it is ....... why do think it has existed in the same format for nigh on 100 years? There will be embedded MI5 operatives reporting on and instructing editors, not obviously but discretely in the shadows.

They always want that extra touch which the opposing defences are loath to give them. They need to take the shot early, if it's on target no Spurs fan is going to complain

This is one of the most self evident pieces of reporting I've seen in 50 years. How his head, and the rest of his cabinet's heads, are not on spikes outside the Israeli parliament is beyond me.

Reform UK Conference 2026. This is what it should be remembered for, these pictures should be shown at every opportunity. The victims do not need to be made famous, but every other single person does. THIS IS REFORM.

The least they could do, as I said on another thread is the following. When they are on the train it should proceed non-stop to say Fishguard where the train terminates.

I suppose it will have to collapse completely before it has a chance to rebuild it self and even then I think the West coast 'States' might not want to rebuild within a continental unified country, prob the same with New England 'States'

I wouldn't be surprised if Wilson, McPake and Miller were called up to the squad. Not sure if they would get game time but the experience would be incalculable.

That's really funny if you think that's a valid news story. Anyone can use the Marine Traffic website and track as many targets as you like, and you could have used this for the past 10 years or so.

Those cracks in the wood are not part of the load bearing structure, are they? If the main load bearing is done from underneath the bridge and are that's OK, simply replace the side timbers that are cracked, there is no vehicular traffic on the bridge and those side timbers need not be so big.

It not going to happen. The top executives at the IOC an the same grifting channel as those in FIFA. It'll be more of a disaster than Atlanta in 1996.

My favourite quote about this scenario comes from the tabloid press (all be it a while ago) "Three In A Bed Romp". What is a 'romp', is there a defined number that could participate 2, 5, 6. Who cleans up and makes the bed afterwards? These are essential questions the public (OK, me) need to know!

Great chat, thoroughly enjoyed it. Asthmatic penguins is a great subject for a novel.

Any ideas what failed. Unless it was a failure in the steering components or in the antenna feed components it's unlikely to be the Cassegrain antenna itself.

Was at the EIBF today to see #sarasheridan.bsky.social. She was excellent as usual a couple of suggestions tho' 1. Of course we would read a book written by you about asthmatic penguins, everyone in the hall agreed. 2 . Your next book should be titled 'What 'X' did next' where X is the name of ....
