    Remind me again what MAD stands for. And remind me again who has said nuclear weapons. They've been used twice and only twice for that exact reason, biggest stick stays in the box but have as many 7.62 as you can carry. Having the biggest stick makes everyone play using only conventional warfare, Saddam and gas being the only outliers. Professor Falken life lessons didn't teach you anything ?. Granted I hope it's automated as Kier would probably be dithering whilst his call was on hold, you call is important to us 3,2,1.

    So make your mind up, trump good or trump bad as that's a very mixed message. Power respects power and power respects money, they equally fear and respect each other. The Ukrainian would just keep spunking it up the walls forever more, negotiation now on ok terms or in five years and get diddly.

    It's a very easy position to defend, argue and understand, just because a few of you are like the vegan health food shop frowning upon a meat eater buying his soya milk. Of course he was begging bowling, please sir may I have some more. The man must be swimming in begging bowl air miles, no doubt Kier will be giving him a reach around and a blank cheque on the bedside table later today. Trump got it right saying when you're ready for peace, we can talk instead of everyone just saying more more.

    How about instead of trying that with Donald, why doesn't he speak to UAE. And see how long his complete lack of respect and humility lasts!.
  5. GarethM
    Absolute drivel, it not a case of right wing ideologies I'm pretty centered to be honest. You respect the office not the man, Donald is giving him the reality check that's very overdue. He went with a begging bowl, so show a little humility and be very thankful in public. Behind the scenes I couldn't care if they despise eachother instead of popping up on video wasn't it a Glastonbury?.
  6. GarethM
    Right, so you go to the oval office not wearing a suit begging for money, even the Jehovah's witnesses that knock on my door wear a shirt & tie and are polite enough to have a conversation even when you say no!. He sat there with arms crossed with a metaphorical begging bowl on his lap and refused to show even a little humility to a nation that's pretty much bank rolling thr government. A video this morning pretty much summed it up as returning to the principles of the founding fathers, happy to trade but leave us alone. Plus even as a non American, the oval office & white house are very different to any other state offices. We burnt the building, hence it was painted white, it's held in high regards like Buckingham palace.

    As far as I'm aware, yes.

    Bought a 100 pack box of Dorco a few years ago, but yeah just checked nothing now. But Amazon have them by the bucket load.
  9. GarethM
    Yeah, I definitely hopefully they tweak the algorithm. As the more you think what's sharp probably also falls into the very vague description would include lawnmower blades, razor blades etc. Makes you wonder if they're just forcing you into the arms of Amazon?.
  10. GarethM
    Does that just apply to the chain, as I usually buy them on eBay ?.
  11. GarethM
    Maybe get him a suit ?. I still have little respect for a leader that couldn't even throw on a shirt and tie for the d day memorial.

    This isn't Ofsted, the HSE tend to do a little more than one word reviews. Cause of incident = f wits Outcomes of incidents= 1 cut and two firings.
  13. GarethM
    It's quieter and isn't idling between cuts was my rationale.
  14. GarethM
    You could argue why they weren't talking via coms or atleast visually looking at each other as presumably only one had a saw. Plus you could also ask was the saw too big for the task, maybe limit snedding to battery for improved safety.
  15. GarethM
    Exactly, it's all smoke mirrors and distraction. I saw their secretary of defense video, no press conference, literally told everyone this is what we're doing without the fluff. We want a military that's don't f with us.
  16. GarethM
    Because it varies between countries, for example Germany is 14 (Was in an episode of Archer where he called it the Alabama of Europe). You cross a border where it's 18 whatever and you could get done for ages of consent maybe even alcohol as in the USA it's 21. Same reason it's a bad idea to take a gf to Dubai, legal yes but not advisable if it went south. Not saying there innocent, just saying open mind.
  17. GarethM
    It's not child rape, but people trafficking from what I have seen. Effectively taking girls with them cross borders, age of consent stuff I presume. Dodgy or not, if the powers that be want you by the short and curly, they'll find a way.

    And you'll also find they are dual UK & USA citizens, also facing prosecution in the USA. Plus there's always been internet rumours the dad is ex CIA and possibly them as well. They are hardly getting off scott free anywhere, so in you're idealised world we'll just have a thread where you post daily a news story and have a little pile on saying orange man bad or is it not beyond the realm of imagination that he's not as bad as your masters have portrayed?. Politics is not a he without sin casts the first stone
  19. GarethM
    Well how else would you like me to respond to the usual, let's post a he's a naughty boy with nauseating regularity. He signed a pile of them on the same day, did you want a dull speech about each one. I guess he could have got out a signature stamp instead and walked off for a game of golf or poured a coffee and told the press to sod off I've Emmerdale to watch ?.

    I'm sure your favourite hair sniffer OAP is dribbling on his wheelchair somewhere.

    Well tell them you're happy to go to 10m but it's an extra £1000 unless they're happy to stay at 5m. Had a local authority pull the same bs once, said the same and low and behold the original was fine, then waited to the renewal and increased it as it's always better to keep a policy than cancel. Aviva are probably using Tokyo Marine like everyone else.

    Think belly dancing in Torbay is a more a jelly roll, think homer at the drs.
  23. GarethM
    Think everyone is just in a waking nightmare at the moment, waiting for the next bombshell to drop taxes wise before they can make decisions. Tax & insurance this year the pickup is about £2,300, whilst yes it earns it's just not sustainable.

    I wouldn't mind if it was a loan, we paid the USA for all our stuff during WW2 including liberty ships. Europe hasn't given them missiles like the USA has, the Germans still haven't as it effectively takes them to war. As all targeting is done by whoever provides them, same with storm shadow wasn't that what we sent?. "European countries have provided €132 billion in aid (military, financial and humanitarian) as of December 2024, and the United States has provided €114 billion.[5] Most of the US funding supports American industries who produce weapons and military equipment.[6]" from Wikipedia.
  25. GarethM
    Yeah Dan probably
