  1. That one was hilarious, so vein he thinks it is all about him.
  2. So... 100 days in and his major good achievements are... No, I couldn't think of many either.
  3. Supply and demand, raptors don't feed on bugs but thrushes do
  4. Not really, checking the weight for them all is about 1T, 1000kg give or take a little - quite like my simple hatchbacks - but got to look to older models for ones you can play with easily. Even with that, mpg remains about the same, size and shape is similar, engine about the same, right foot is the same right foot, but insect splats are down year on year for the last few decades.
  5. See I don't buy the aerodynamics bit.... every car I have had has within a percent or 2 given me the same MPG - I am fixed and set in my ways so tend to go for the same type - size, similar shape, and engine size. Not Landrovers but family cars. Improved aerodynamics will give me a better MPG? but I am not seeing that, aerodynamic changes are not as dramatic as you are wanting to make out.
  6. Got to remember his attention span, he'll be dead by the time it hits critical levels rather than just "we need to act now"... so if he dismisses them all he doesn't have to use his limited brain power to worry about it.
  7. So Leavitt thinks that Bezos and Amazon have partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm (as reported by Reuters), and Trump thinks that Bezos, who he has known for a couple of years is a really great guy... so which is it? Evil incarnate according to his mouthpiece or a great guy according to the dottery old man.
  8. Leavitt is definitely worth the humour to watch the press conference, the instant attack and blame everything on Joe Biden, you can almost script her answers yourself (it is like a Leavitt Bingo card I have). In the US there is nothing unusual about price tags having the 'price' plus the various sales taxes listed (remembering 'ticket price' is before tax), all Amazon are doing is continuing this established procedure and listing import taxes. For clarity, the American consumer can now see clearly which products have no import tax (ie American produced goods) and which are imported, you'd have thought she'd think this is a good thing wouldn't you.... except the instant leap to attack suggests she is trying to defend something she cannot really defend.
  9. That would fit with the body double Melania the conspiracy theorists were reckoning were at the Vatican (briefly) on Saturday (it was the real deal for the pair of them there, dottery old man who had to concentrate on the stairs (not sure anyone noticed that) and devout Catholic wife with a front row seat to the top mans funeral, course it was her. Couldn't imagine she is that good an actress to act like she does around a Trump body double)
  10. Not heard anything but also coincides with a reasonably warm day in Portugal (26 Deg C), just wonder if it was something as benign as not looking at the weather, AC units kicking in without enough generation and tripping the system. Old fashioned cock up. (if the system is on the limit a small disturbance can ripple out and black out large areas - trip one substation, the next kicks in to cover the first... which is then overloaded and trips, 2 more try to supply the power and cannot and it ripples out, then of course got to go Manuel and check each is OK to switch back on before you can restore power... simply put)
  11. .. I know we will say this to potential employees to help them along, so to you.. failed at the first hurdle... where are you looking for them to work?
  12. Being dismissive of someone because they are not wearing the traditionally 'correct' clothes for an important occasion.. that would never happen As for the cult, Trump himself did facilitate Epstein....
  13. FYI Mazda 2 rear shock absorber and bracket is about £100 each (this weeks MOT), Mazda 6 will be a bit more? just if you decide to give yours a proper work out!
  14. Cock... Leaves a funeral early so he can have dinner. Not sure how the reservations work on Air Force One, but I suspect he wasn't begging for favours to get a table. (I'm also conscious the time he was in Rome he was also making trade deals... so how much funeraling and paying his respects did he actually do. Cock) Trump makes early exit from Pope’s funeral to treat Melania to birthday dinner UK.YAHOO.COM Donald Trump departed Rome shortly after the Pope’s funeral to treat the first lady Melania to a romantic dinner on Air Force One for her 55th birthday. aks away fro
  15. I haven't followed this part of the story closely, you suggest not innocent, What was he convicted off and in which jurisdiction?
  16. The 'days from death' was her admitting herself to hospital after being beaten up by her ex husband, car accident was insignificant to that part of the story.
  17. Cock.... Going to a funeral to make trade deals..... 17K views · 244 reactions | Trump: “We’re leaving and going to Rome,... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM Trump: “We’re leaving and going to Rome, where we’ll be attending the funeral of Pope Francis…It's going to be very interesting.”.
  18. What are your plans for the area? If for example it is going to be a lawn just keep mowing it over the summer this year and next and it will do the job. Otherwise poison the roots, or dig them out will give the fastest results, or slower but more environmentally friendly and easer on the back, just keep cutting off the new shoots as they appear till the roots run out of energy stores to put up new shoots - takes a couple of years to do that. With poison just spraying the new shoots isn't so effective, need to get into the roots themselves - others will be able to advise the best over the counter solution for that
  19. Yes, and am sure we have all been there with the "Dad, John called me a poo" conversation which in essence is what was playing out above. (EDIT: Actually in my case it was 'jobbie'... but we stopped them talking too Glaswegian)
  20. Not at all. Did you read the words? Using made up numbers by way of example: 6 months ago farmer buys feed at 10,000 and can make a profit Today he buys feed at 12,200 and cannot make a profit The difference is the tax that Trump has added. The post was highlighting this tax increase means the farmer is making a loss. But you fire out an insult to the OP because you do not like this idea being highlighted here....making you the sh!t poster and not the OP.
  21. There is no suggestion that the farmer in the post does not know the cost, if he is like farmers I know, he'll know to the cent. The post was not highlighting an ignorant farmer who does not know his business costs of course, simple comprehension of the words is not a hard thing to get. The post is highlighting how Trumps tariffs are hurting farmers. I was sure you'd understand that extra taxes on farmers hurt them, but maybe not so. So as above, firing out the insult because you don't like the words you read really just makes you the sh1t poster here.
  22. But.. and here is the essence of the post... you haven't just had your animal feed hit with a massive import tariff have you? So a basic lack of comprehension of the original post, you fire out an insult... which in my view makes you the sh1t poster.
  23. So... no comment on the post just firing out an insult for the fun of it then? Kind of makes you the sh1t poster there doesn't it?
  24. That's going to hurt, if they don't agree then Trumpy is going to get stroppy and walk away, failing and giving up as opposed to Biden who didn't give up. So the proposal is The Ukraine are to roll over and give in to the aggressor and all will be well till next time. Russia has a history here of waiting a few years and then going again.
  25. However, I'll tell you whose fault it isn't!!
