The Arbtalk forums are generally interesting, generally friendly and genuine funny comments all the time. I guess my comments on the political posts are a boredom of the same post... all the time... change the narrative and keep this thread interesting... Other posts are thinly veiled racist attacks and as a member of the forum cannot stand by and allow my participation here be seen as a tacit agreement on intolerance and abuse, so I will express my opposition to these... Likewise to an extent, the political stuff, not going to stand by all the time to allow my participation in the forums be seen as my agreeing with the comments that are an exact opposite to my values.

 

 

I might be speaking out of turn, but most of us on here enjoy what the forums bring up. I might not agree with everyone all the time, but appreciate what they bring and what I can learn from them. If JohnsonD stuck to what he knows well without the constant political threads, these posts are also interesting and I learn from them - the shooting, the milling, the diving, pretty sure I wouldn't need to distance myself from them and he might (Hmmm...) get the odd thumbs up too.

You are not the thought police SP if the facts i post are facts you don’t like or they don’t align with your so called “ values”  🤷‍♂️deal with it. You should also listen to TF123, you guys are literally so easy to get a rise out of it’s laughable. Learn some self control. You cannot deny you guys have caned the Tories for years, don’t be upset when others do the same about Labour. 
I don’t yearn for the odd “ thumbs up” a bite or two is amusement enough 😂😂

Look like Mossad have pulled off a major coup.

Somehow got 1200 of their pagers to Hezbollah officials, packed them with explosive, phoned them up at the same time…

Aye, I just read that too. I suspect that things are about to get a bit spicy.

Did you see somewhere that they actually packed them with explosives? I think Mossad probably did something cleverer than that, and just harnessed the latent energy within the pagers. By using some kind of IT trickery, Malware or something, to cause the pager batteries to overheat and then explode. That's how I read it anyway.
Hard to believe that they'd be able to obtain 1200 of them, to insert the explosive, without Hezbollah noticing.

which is quite scary stuff - a relatively low thing like a pager battery - but able to explode them at will. And we all have one in our pockets too

I’m reading batteries or something, all will become clear I guess.

Quite simply the most effective bit of counter intelligence seen in recent times.
