Biden looks like he's had another facelift as he has certainly changed from a year or two ago. Haven't his little piggy eyes have gone narrower looking? If he carries on like this his ears will end up at the back of his head. They crown Donald today don't they?

I understood there were 13+ bases, 3,500 troops and 7,000 civilians involved. But stand corrected.

There were two snowmen chatting to pass the time and one said to the other "Hey, can you smell carrots?" I'm surprised you get snow in New Orleans. I've had the impression that it was always hot as you look as far south as Florida and Texas. In England we aren't keen on snow, so we want more...

As I understand it Britain still has bases in Cyprus and maybe a few thousand soldiers but what the devil they do I've no idea. Sit about getting a tan presumably. Turkey still refuses to recognise the Armenian genocide after more than 100 years.

Can you believe this? Claims for £69,000-a-year disability benefits scheme surge https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/01/20/sickfluencers-surge-mental-health-claims-benefits-scheme/ Then we have No Brainer Raynor with her Employment Bill. What is wrong with zero hour contracts anyway? I...

Churchill said and did a lot of stupid things. Insisted on keeping the Gold Standard and crashed the UK economy for ten years. He dreamt up the stupid idea of Gallipoli without the faintest idea about he enemy position, or strength. He looked a a map and thought he'd do a pincer movement to end...

I'm not entirely convinced about the DNA results from Ancestry, or associate much value to them. Maybe more of a novelty than anything else? Myself, my wife and son in law have references to Iceland which cannot be correct (in my opinion). The only reason I can think is that the Norwegian link...

Names and their spelling are always a problem. I've seen some in later 1800s censuses incorrectly translated by maybe not that interested census recorders. Or the fact that the people on the census didn't know how to spell their names, so couldn't correct them. I wonder at times if thy were...

Correct! We won't go there now, even though we're on the border. Driving all day at 20mph isn't my idea of a day out. I just don't know why 25mph wasn't selected, that works perfectly well in France. But as you say, that is Wales for you. But I do have to say that Mark Drakeford always looked...

Sorry, misunderstood

I find this interesting and only just seen the post. As with everyone else, I have written my own program. The difficulty with biological, step, adopted etc of different fathers has not occurred in my trees. To me only the biological father is of interest, as they are the ones that take the...

I wonder if Ukraine is too fearful of Putin's response even if it indicated it might join NATO. But I do think that the Starmer visit is a part of his attempt to brand himself as more an international politician. It may be more helpful to him if XI didn't ignore him as he did at Davos.

In Britain they are referred to in the press, on TV news and Parliament almost universally as Pakistani Grooming Gangs and many, many times on GBNews as Pakistani R*p* Gangs. Is it not time to call a spade a spade? Anyway the Home Secretary, that damn Cooper woman is to start five enquires to...

When will this pointless posting be shut down?

We see 2Tier Starmer has skuttled off to Ukraine to offer them lord knows what. Ukraine, the country run by a comedian who thought it was a good idea to take Russia on and then spent most of his time flying here and there begging money for his disastrous adventure. Little doubt that as some...

That's a good name for Crazy Sturgeon. The last remaining Scottish fishwife. She's' often been likened to the little one in the Krankies. She's not unlike the terrible Calman woman, maybe her cousin? Murrell was married to the fish lady for 20 years apparently, what a delight that must have...

Same. The BBC is mainly run by a bunch of Loony Labour Liberal socialist luvvies. It will restrict certain aspects of the news and is evangelical when it comes to global warming, or whatever they call it. With little regard to the truth, science, or balanced opinion.

I'm guessing this will be much longer. The cases you mentioned would probably only need to reconnect to the existing infrastructure. Any substations damaged will need replacing along with all of the wiring. Plus all underground cables for broadband and telephones. The drains, which will be...

Where will all the people live in the interim, possibly many years? The whole infrastructure will need to be replaced before building houses can start. From what I read there appears to be hardly anyone in authority who could manage the operation. The impression I get from the criticism in the...

This Stalinist government in Britain now wants to nationalise the BBC. There have been discussions over the years about a replacement to the licence fee, which is basically a tax, or fee to be paid if you want to watch terrestrial TV. The proposal is that the licence fee will be abolished and...
