I am a Marine Engineer & worked on large cargo ships, cable laying vessels and superyachts. Came ashore managing, building and converting ships, before becoming a university lecturer. Greed & corruption is destroying peoples lives though. Painful to watch.

The mind boggles at the death of a 12 yr old girl killed in Baltimore over a dispute by two idiots over a parking space. Why the F'#ck do they have to be wandering around with guns and pull them out over a poxy parking space. America - you need to fix this despite the constitution etc. She's Dead!

As a 20yr old seafarer we were taken to a leather shop in Karachi. Outside was a mud road with cows and goats wandering and the locals were dirty and malnourished. Through the doors was an air conditioned, marble floored luxury shop. I never saw anyone between these two extremes. It made me so angry

3 a.m. standing on the edge of a pond / waterfall in Wollongong, Australia singing Flower of Scotland (beers were involved) with my Scottish 3rd Engineer off my cargo ship as an English Engineering Cadet (Merchant Navy). It sounded great at the time and he sang with passion.

I used to thin that I would go to any lengthts to get my child into a private school, thinking it was the best option. I then worked with some of the most self righteous, condescending cretins that were ever to walk out of a private educational setting. It's not always the best route.

Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.

This has made my day. Maybe it shouldn't, but it does and I get so much satisfaction from it. Perhaps if he concentrated more on the American people, rather than his own vanity projects, he would get far more recognition for his efforts but he's simply not wired that way.

This was a quick 'Grab the camera and shoot' photo taken on a sunny afternoon. So, no great set-up, no makeup or wardrobe for the beetle. It was all rough and ready. They are a fascinating beetle though, my wife hates the male beetle due to their 'ginormous' pincers and I can't blame her.

I love the blanket green across the photo. It reminds me of the attached photo from a waterfall we visited in Cornwall. I managed to fall down a hole on the slippery rocks like a right plonker. Well, it kept my daughter entertained as I limped my way back to the coffee shop - emergency medical use.

I think the phrase "they are all c@#$s" is the one you are looking for. Yes, I admit it is harsh but watching a bunch of old white men preside over such things time and time again infuriates me. The women who I do see are ignored / humiliated whilst the crusty old men force their ill educated views

‘Historic breakthrough’: Colombia climate talks end with hopes for fossil fuel phaseout
Nearly 60 countries back voluntary roadmaps to wean world off coal, oil and gas Governments have been asked to develop national “roadmaps” setting out how they will end the production and use of fossil fuels, after a landmark climate meeting involving nearly 60 countries. The voluntary plans will form the bedrock of a new initiative to wean the world off coal, oil and gas, the focus of two days of intensive talks in Colombia this week. Continue reading...

In the UK this isn't a thing. Yes, the NHS creaks a bit but whatever your age you are treated free at the point of care with no bills forcing you to work to pay tem ff. America, you really do need to catch up and stop the persecution of your own citizens. It works well here as I also have cancer.

As with the SS in WWII the shooters became traumatised, albeit they were doing it on a grander scale. However, there needs to be thought about those pulling the triggers as it will affect them long term irrespective of the execution style alone.

I see Trumpy Boy is still in the huff with Starmer. The deployment of the Royal Navy Type 45 and one of the carriers are there to protect British bases and civilians, alongside providing additional cover for our allies. Starmer is not joining into this Iran war. Trump is miffed that the UK didn't.

I am at a loss as to why ICE would even concieve the need to fire at that car. Worst case they could have got the tags and followed up at a later date, they were not trying to aprehend a murderer that had ro be sropped there and then. Guns in the wrong hands yet again, it's sickening to watch.

Took this back in 2012 in Kent. There was a morning mist which muted the sharpness quite a bit, but it still came out okay considering the wooden deck was like an ice rink and the water was far too close for comfort. #photography, #B&W Not sure where the swans went, maybe in another photo - Doh!

Watching this from the UK it's inhumane to see what ICE has become and how due process appears to be a thing of the past. I watched an arrest video from UK police tonight and it was one of the most calm, supportive arrests I have ever seen. No guns, no violence and everything explained in full.

oving this #AI conversion to #ANIME. However, it either makes me look young and dashing (hey I am biased and visually impaired) or a bloody old man that I am sure once appeared in an actual #Anime movie. Hopefully I am somewhere in between as a medically retired 57 yr old 😉

Marku Alen - Group B Lancia Delta S4 not long before they banned Group B for being wildly overpowered and having too many accidents. They were brilliant incl. Metro 6R4 and Ford RS 200.

#Ukraine - #US peace deal is a travesty for Ukraine, handing Russia everything. The crazy timescale is both a deflection for the #Epstein files plus another attempt for Trump ending a war - his 85th war by now? Europe needs to stand up more, as a Brit I understand the reality of possible attacks.

#photoraphy - A favourite shot of my daughter taken in the New forest here in the UK. The backlighting and the haze mixes to give an almost tranquil feel. The New Forest is a wonderful mix of housing, forest & ponies that wander freely, often resulting in mischief when they get in people's bins!

Regarding #Ukraine's issue with drone attacks and their ability to shoot them down. With the USA's intimation of retiring the A-10 Thunderbolt #warthog would these planes be suitable, noting their slower speeds and the infamous GAU-8 gun. Lesser skilled pilots could be used within their own airspace

Their project playbook is playing away at full speed, leaving courts and judges playing catchup. It's incredibly sad to watch it happening and even sadder to watch how long any corrective work takes to bring such actions under control. Hard not to compare the photo to reality, without the obvious.

As a Brit I am seeing my feeds being consumed by so many similar posts where due process is abandoned and even the regular police are breaking constitutional requirements. The situation is alarming for what should be a democratic country where things are sadly out of control at the moment.

75% I can understand why big pharma and Rep Gov resists the universal health care that we Europeans enjoy. I have worked until cancer stopped me at 51 and paid a small price in taxes through that time. The NHS has looked after me perfectly at zero additional cost and no risk to my finances.

Speaking calmy is not the same as civility. He often led his debates with questions he had planned and knew the answers to, which you can understand. His views were very one sided and incited hate against minorities, even women, who are most definitely not a minority. He craved white male power.
