and step 5 will be to suspend the 2028 elections due to the mass unrests he has caused... Not sure Trump has the brains to think all this through, dementia type behaviours makes rational thought tricky I think.

Just wondering how much of that tree vanished overnight?

Not worth its own post, but spent yesterday making up half dozen of these for the local community woodland groups kids - scrap pallets, 3 left over bolts and a handful of screws. Folding saw horses so the kids keep their fingers protected from the saw blades a little.

Codswallop... you fishing for puns again?

NBC in 2011, Trump said: "In my opinion I hear the Democrats are going to be blamed and the Republicans are going to be blamed. I actually think the President would be blamed. If there is a shutdown I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one who has to get people together."

Not a terrorist, just a murderer.

If you follow this forum, all reported acts of terrorism, all reported crimes are from a very narrow demographic, and are pretty much all reported by JohnsonD. Have to question why this bias is if it isn't one based on a racist view of the world, when in reality all races and religions have murderers and arseholes.. just we never get to read about them on this arb forum.

That's just a fat Boris Johnson, now, that would be a way to clear the hospital beds,

Relevant answer is above your post. Try reading.

If you compare to say construction or farming, not so bad, but if you were to compare to the population as a whole it is on the worse side. However in all men tend to try to continue on regardless, until they snap, again going back to the OPs point, never let yourself get to that point, physically or mentally. One thing on the mental health side, it is OK to ask for help.

Feckwhit, a serious topic and you are lowering it all to have a personal dig. Mens health is important, it is often ignored "will just carry on, nothing wrong" attitude until you end up in a hospital bed... which is the point the OP was making. If you are unable to 'read the room' and understand then do not comment.

Which is my point, apart from having an accident, your health should never get to a point where you need to go to A&E, should be getting things checked out well before then. Got to look after your health.

Over time I have come to the conclusion that the crime is irrelevant, it the religion or race of the perpetrators that is important to JohsonD. The actual crime is irrelevant to him. So while the subject has been posted repeatedly reading behind the postings is a consistant message from him: Muslims = bad, anyone one darker skin than him = bad. It is a consistent message. - 85% of Grooming gang cases have no race or religion attributed to them in the statistics - 100% of the grooming gang cases highlighted here are all attributed to Muslims or non-white (100% apart from Epsteins grooming gang). Guess who posts them all. - JohnsoD has never posted about a crime commited by a white person, but plenty of crimes by others - In the POTUS thread when GarethM was giving his defence of the late pedo, Epstein and his grooming gang, guess who had his back giving him 'likes' for his opinions? - probably have to go back to August. Didn't find these crimes abhorant. Epstein was of course white.

As a group, men are very poor at popping in to the doctors, they would much prefer you 'waste their time' with a 10 minute check up once or twice a year to catch things early, than a weekly 10 minute visit where they up your pill doses. Same with mental health... and guess which industries are hit hard with that one! Point is, we are here only once, look after yourselves to make the most of it. Doctors are free to use so why not.

From personal experience?.... or told by a bloke down the pub?

For Eggs there, we used to live in a world where the printed press had some truth behind it, the world changes to the internet where articles and opinion pieces are thrown out there as if they are true... and often arn't the whole truth. We've still got that mindset a little - as Eggs showed - believing the printed press as-is. Checking around is more important than ever, never trusting a single source and definitely view social media sites as an online version of "a man down the pub told me"

Only saw a snippet on the news the other night, but Yaxleys chums were slinking away very quietly, all the bravado they have shown recently all vanished when faced with a handful of Geordies telling them a few home truths. A similar thing happened in Glasgow the other week too.

From the telegraph, post the link, stand back and watch some heads explode in confusion of what to think: Trump to run Gaza with Blair UK.YAHOO.COM Donald Trump will run Gaza with the assistance of Sir Tony Blair as part of the US president’s 20-point plan for “eternal peace in the Middle East”.

Fewer squirrels here at the moment but there were more babies earlier in the year than usual... no longer here (not guilty by the way). We did have one for dinner once - it was in the supermarket on holiday and we thought why not, next to pigeon (had that too) - not my taste for either though. Apples - quite a glut this year for me, I am expecting a reduced crop next year in the natural order of things so this winter will be a heavy pruning year.

and in the real world: 1st page of the interent results suggest 2025 US GDP will rise by about 1.8%, Q2 - the one from your Linked in suggests just over 3% but metched by a drop in GDP in Q1....

Quick, proper question, in the UK which verifiable ID is mandated? A passport: My choice to have one or not A drivers license: My choice to have one or not, likewise my choice to upgrade to a photo card NI Card: Not a form of ID in the sense being talked about - one NI Card can be used by multiple people Travel pass (bus, train...): My choice to have one or not Smart phone: My choice to have one or not ... I could go on. None of the above are mandated, in the forum we might or might not all have one or more of the above.

I might be wrong, but I am guessing that you won't get an answer or an opinion. Just "It is better"... but no concepts as to how it is better. Certainly I am with you, there are a lot of negatives happening in the US and worldwide from his financial power grab - errr presidency.

This is exactly what I was on about. A 40+ year old whisking a school girl away to a private island... She might understand what is expected of her, Epstein certainly had intentions and yet here you are, blaming the victim, the perpetrator is never mentioned is he? The school girls didn't approach Epstein - he or Maxwell sought them out. The girls were approached. They didn't instigate their rapes. Remember here, Epsteins victims were as young as 11. But that is where we are, blame the victim. Her fault? Apologist for a pedo.

As far as I can tell here the objections are that they are something we don't have, something new. No practical downsides mentioned yet. In France (closest example) and many other place you don't need to carry them - much the same that you don't need to carry a drives license to drive a car, but if you need to prove who you are you can grab the card and prove it. Digital just means, like the drivers licenses the authorities will have a database they can refer to. End of paper bills and the old "2 forms of ID, a recent utility bill" is tricker - so some digital system will be needed I think, so why not. Anyway, waiting for practical downsides apart from not liking anything new.
