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.

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.

Yeah Dan probably

And how many billions has the USA given, not loaned but given to them ?. It won't be an opening gambit, you mark out your position and they've agreed a basic agreement, it's the Chinese saving face art of negotiation. Negotiation is not like taking your indecisive gf to dinner, where they spent 20 minutes perusing and talking about the menu, then ordering the same basic fish n chips. Plus the negotiations are window dressing, the big wigs do f all. Ever notice the EU stuff, they all bugger off for a meal and it's all miraculously agreed ?.

Don't spoil the ending!

You are old enough to have practically watched the full film by osmosis and every other post WW2 epic that's almost baked into the DNA of the british!. A full restoration isn't a peace negotiation, give and take are a required. A similar scheme didn't work well post WW1 with the Germans, plus the coal and other stuff they had to pay the allies in reparations effectively forced the second disagreement into being.

C'mon, he's not even seen the great escape. There are probably uncontacted tribes in the Amazon that have seen the great escape!.

Watch a little rick and Morty.

Admiral, general, sir, waiting for your orders!. Damn it sir, you've just shot yourself instead of making a decision.

Oh nooooo, the grammar nazi.

Still not hearing any actual solutions Mr president ped or Steven. Decide who is deputy between yourselves, just as long as you come to a solution that doesn't involve I dunno boot's on the ground. Oh and I'll threaten this and that, erm who's going to do the big stick waving.
-
So let's brass track it. You want us to keep giving Ukraine a blank cheque for effectively forever. Putin will not just pack up and go home, even with your European leaders help, they are out gunned and out matched by the Russians. So Mr president Steven P what you going to do!.

Roll over my arse, Biden didn't know how to put on a pair or trousers let alone negotiate. You're trump derangement syndrome is flaring up
-
Exactly, when you're in a trench or a foxhole getting shot at, mortars falling all around you. You won't give two f's about the rules of war and the Geneva convention. Even your average school kids played cod and alike to know it's not tea/biscuits and an array of sexy camo outfits.
-
That's not a delusional rabbit hole you want to start digging, Biden thinks he's bloody Irish and has spent his career filibustering.
-
And how many times have I suggested using the river and the above and then I get moans of he should give it all back blah blah going around in circles. Then calling out the Donald, well in what a month he's gone from zero happening to something instead of Joe sleeping. All whilst Ursula and the rest dither and go to expensive lunches and cry when they're told to step up and do something on their own doorstep.
-
Well suggest an alternative, don't you dare just trott out the Russians give back everything and go home rubbish!. It's a negotiation, give and take are required.
-
Plus, did anyone see the slime ball french man at the whitehouse?. Oh it's a loan, bs bs waffle then the Donald pretty much pee's on his croissant.

Very true, if we rolled the clock back to say 90s when coal and nuclear was still a big part. They've not demolished any pylons, so the old massive capacity is still there for constant base loading. Then factor in energy efficiency, old TVs, fridges, lights etc means our personal consumption is 50/75% less at a minimum and then deindustrialization!. Would be nice to hear his musings without the green washed renewables zero emissions lies. Plus if it's better, cheaper, when will my bills come down without having subsidy or someone else getting penalties on their tariff ?.
-
Sussh you, millipede will cry in his cornflakes if you let him know the wind doesn't blow all the time. There was a headline saying the same about his great idea for hydrogen in mains gas earlier. Great if a free byproduct from say medical oxygen production, but noo.

HVDC is used to provide a degree of frequency isolation, regardless of any technical Innovations it's just an old technology with a new name and a higher voltage. You've probably never heard of the current wars at the turn of the century, good few books about the subject and Nikola?. That's why we have AC as pushing a DC current through a pipe regardless of its diameter gets harder and harder the longer the pipe. AC doesn't really have that limitation except mostly heat loss. Batteries are just a boondoggle, minutes of storage at best. They closed fiddlers ferry and kept the turbo alternator as a glorified flywheel to balance the renewables and charged a horrendous amount per minute the other month!.
