    The British Monarchy | Princess of Wales diagnosed with cancer (p396)

    How much land do you think they actually own? Note Crown Land doesn't count that is already administered by the Government (so effectively already 'for the good of the people' though your views on that may be coloured by your views of the Government!).

    Russian invasion of Ukraine

    Well that's sort of the point. The Republican strategy appears to be focussed solely on 'owning the libs' and everything else, including the people of Ukraine, is subservient to that aim. Incredibly short sighted and shows where the US is at right now.

    Total Eclipse 8/4/2024.

    I was on a boat in the Channel in '99. The thing I remember is how quickly it went dark, almost like someone had turned the dimmer switch down, and at totality there was a ring of light on the horizon all the way around the boat. The noise about this one has made me think about making plans to...

    You are aware that Musk took over Twitter after all those things happened?

    Well done, ob. You need to be a bit careful with the pacers, in my experience they can be a fair bit off where they should be.

    How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

    Yeah, that too. We definitely don't want any Euro-Cats round here.

    How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

    Corporate Value For Money?

    I got tickets in Citizens for the lads 18th birthday and, as it was the second leg of the game against Sporting (where we were already 5-0 up from the first leg), it wasn't really a premium fixture and relatively cheap (around £120 each from memory). Setup was good with a meal, half-time pint...

    Oh, I don't know - the cold has a habit of bringing out the best in them...

    How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

    The Daily Mail will view that as a win as they hate cyclists.

    Did he win, then? Slap me sideways with a wet kipper - didn't see that one coming....

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    That's fine - let them believe that it was closer than it was and that they only need a few tweaks to be up there competing with us. Then we can go on enjoying days like yesterday for a long time to come.

    Lots of people running really fast back to Trafford yesterday... Maybe you got caught up in the rush.

    Good going, mate - I can only dream of a 38 min 10K! Started my training again for the GMR half marathon today and I'm way off the pace. Notwithstanding that I got a PB last year (1:43 if you must know...) I'd be happy with under 1:50 this year. In my defence, I am a 55 year old FOC.

    Russian invasion of Ukraine

    Don't worry, Vlad is also offering to fill the gaps personally - literally and figuratively

    Trident

    But not one which requires an additional £50billion - because they have already bought them. The submarines are being replaced because the existing ones are reaching the end of their design life but the missiles come from a common stock used by both the UK and US. And if they don't work then...

    Trident

    The submarines and the warheads are made in the UK but the bit that actually failed (the missile) is made in the US and not subject to any investment requirements by the UK government, other than buying them. So, no - not a stunt.
