Tick tock. Doomsday Clock 2026: Scientists set new time | CNN EDITION.CNN.COM The new Doomsday Clock time has been set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Here’s what it means. Tick tock.

Well, there's the obvious Investment Banker, (W for B). If I've understood the game correctly.

I went to an auction and bought a Van Gogh coffee table. I know it's genuine, there's a bit of veneer missing.

And the Prosperity Institute, any thoughts on that? I’d rather the people running our country behind the scenes be a little more transparent, and at least resident in the UK. And certainly not have a Putin taint. We weren’t talking about Musk specifically, but yes, he’s definitely one of @Oldfeller 's invisible players. Even you will have a hard job defending anything that man does. (Starlink aside). The argument that he is OK because he is providing something that many people are willing to pay for doesn’t stack up. So are the Venezuelan drug traffickers, the writers of social media algorithms aimed at children and junk food pushers. It’s naïve to consider him to be even slightly altruistic. He does very well, at the expense of everyone else. “Tens of thousands of well-paid jobs” – are you sure? From what I’ve seen his employees don’t tend to be a happy and contented bunch. He works them to the bone. His car plants are nowhere near the safety standards met by all the other automotive OEMs either, nor the vehicles they make. And Grok, surely nobody has anything good to say about that abomination. Other than the cognitively challenged who can't form a coherent argument. Outsourcing thought to it is not going to end well. We're all being played. Regardless of political ideology. You will have noticed that political divisions are getting wider and deeper all the time; think about who's driving that.

So the Prosperity Institute. Controlled by four directors, only one of whom resides in the UK. Predominantly funded by a Dubai-based investment company that also funds GB News. (There seem to be questions around the owner of the investment group's links to Russia.) The balance of donations to the institute facing some controversy over funding transparency. This all seems like exactly the shadowy influence and dirty money that Mr Booby is trying to tackle. The "large group of pieces who are not always visible in the game but are able to manipulate both the main players and the pawns, and even change the board entirely to a completely different game, but usually with the same goal." That you were referring to in this post:- Us common people are all in the same boat, we're all on the same side. We're being played by the mega rich and powerful. As you say. Am I missing something?

Thanks. You're right, I'd never seen the stuff. Weird idea, sounds rank. I do enjoy them both. In isolation.

Thanks, but I've got both in my cupboard as we type. Did I miss something?

Cheers, not read that. Didn't know he wrote it even.

Oh. I was rather hoping that he'd be a slight improvement at least. He seems to have a bit of gumption about him. Starmer has his own skeletons in the cupboard with regard to war crimes and genocide don't forget.

Doesn't come much hardcore than that does it? He's far from a nutcase; he comes across as a nice, pretty well balanced guy in that Free Solo film. But there's definitely something odd about him, there's something missing in his brain. Fear.

I was lucky enough to visit that edge tool manufacturing place, Morris and sons. An impromptu tour when I when to pick up a bill hook they repaired for me. It was a treat. Now closed sadly.

Lovely Mutton chops aren't they?

Good webcam action. Being next to the sea during a storm is one of the most exhilarating things to do I reckon. Mind you they've had it a bit too rough in the left hand corner of the south coast these last couple of days. Storm surge plus high tides has been bad news down there. Teignmouth Pier washes away and sea wall crumbles during Storm Ingrid WWW.BBC.CO.UK Part of a historic pier washes away and a sea wall next to a railway line crumbles as Storm Ingrid lashes Devon and Cornwall. Funny thing is I was right there at new year and the sea was like glass, never seen it so calm and flat.

Keep thinking. He. I was listening to Question Time, he was a panelist.

Oh dear. If only you could make contact with some tree surgeons or foresters!

What makes you think he was talking about Starmer, or even Trump?

I've just heard him described as an Alpha Thicko. Very app.
