    Christmas Island nuclear tests

    This is an excellent book, albeit from a US serviceman's experiences during the atomic tests. It’s quite terrifying what they were exposed to.

    The photos thread

    Spotted a guy fishing on one of the reservoirs near me this morning. He must have been freezing. Had to reduce the file size to get it to load, so image quality has reduced a little too.

    Watched this on disney+ the other night, thought it was terrible & would have walked out if I had seen that at the cinema.

    The British Monarchy

    This is, unfortunately, not the case. I have posted below some passages from the ‘And what do you do?’ Book I have mentioned on this thread previously. The book gives a lot more detail on how the royals directly influence our government & therefore our lives. The book was written when the...

    Archbishop of Canterbury steps down

    I heard quite a lengthy piece on radio 4 on my way home tonight, which was very sympathetic towards him & his time as AOC. I was fuming listening to this, thinking what about the victims of the abuser that he was aware of, but did sweet FA about?! He should be investigated & prosecuted for...

    The British Monarchy

    Try this & then follow the link at the end of the article to the pages that follow. For the most part, this is an informative & interesting read. It goes some way to setting out the basics in what is required to replace the monarchy. https://www.republic.org.uk/why_we_protest

These are all estimated values, based mostly on the value of the architecture of the ‘royal estate’ buildings, which would still draw in visitors whether there were a royal family or not. Brand Finance are far from impartial too as the report itself was...

    The British Monarchy

    I think having this monarchy actually holds us back as a nation & keeps up looking backwards to our royal (empire days) history & not looking forward enough. Just my opinion though.

    The British Monarchy

    I get why people like the royal family, they certainly get plenty of good press & have many ‘royal experts’ telling us how amazing they are, but I honestly suggest reading this book. It’s very well researched & pretty balanced giving credit where it is due, whilst also lifting the veil of...

    The British Monarchy

    I have mentioned previously in this thread about the book by Norman Baker which explains, amongst other things, the unique tax & money making benefits the royal family ‘enjoy’ It’s a very good, well researched book which I thoroughly recommend to anyone who has an interest in understanding the...

    Three Most Brittle Materials in the World Glass: Glass is highly brittle due to its non-crystalline structure, which makes it prone to shattering under stress. Ceramics: Ceramics, such as porcelain and certain types of pottery, are known for their brittleness, as they tend to fracture rather...

    Yep, it’s very poor & especially from my team who look a shadow of the team from the first 6 games of the season. God knows what is going on, but we stink at the moment.
