There’s a lot of needless rowing going on here. We’re all in the timber game, like it or not, and we pretty much all sing from the same hymn sheet.   J has touched a nerve with me about

My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

Funny how underwhelming everyone is about Lando Norris winning the F1 championship.

His super rich dad writing the cheques for a lot of his career seems to leave people a bit cold.

Compared to Lewis Hamilton who came from very little, which seems to make him more interesting.

I wonder if he’ll show a bit of personality in the future and gain some news coverage.

The management of F1 will certainly hope so.

Verstappen is similar, his very rich dad paying his way. Am glad Norris won though - cannot get to the top of any sport without a bit of talent, but to get to the very top you need some ££ behind you to do nothing else apart from that.

 

Hoping Hamilton gets some decent development time this year to make his car suit his style better, feel he has another 2nd or 3rd place left in him

 

Feel a bit sorry for Piastri though losing out second place - but that is racing I guess - Norris got a new suspension part way through the season about the time he took off, so perhaps he had the better car at the end?

 

Personality wise, yup, not a lot there. Though is it a generation / age thing that he hasn't developed a media presence or personality yet? (see this in work, it takes the graduates a few years to come into their own - aging and maturing - and more age again to get proper sarcastic about the job)

there is a film out 'House of Dynamite' or something - a nuke is spotted in the Pacific coming for Chicago, multiple attempts to shoot it down fail. One actor has the line ' it's like trying to shoot a bullet with a bullet'

 

we don't need to be able to fight more than 20 minutes if there's a real war next time

We would if it was about territory like in the Ukraine, but if it was about neutralising us then no, a few grenade launchers shot at a nuclear warhead will do next to nothing.

 

And if we are defending alone against an actual invasion, we are pretty fcked anyway, with France and Germany probably already overrun and the US abandoning us. So rearming is all about defending others, which I believe we are doing with giving some things to the Ukraine - our kit, their people.

I was going to be a little more optimistic and say that we don't need to fight for more than three days. We'd run out of food after that.

Good chance this overpopulated islnd will not find food to import in the next  50 years
