Hoisted by my own petard ! I’ve fell foul of Godwins Law, but I take comfort in you reminding me that I’ve instilled some education into you ! As for your question; I’d say neither. Hitler and the Germans did something quite unique in starting ww2, I don’t think ww1 was on the same scale internationally, but just as horrific. Hitler wanted a Greater Germany, much as Putin wants a “”Greater Russia”. If I had to make a comparison, I’d say the US had entered wars on , possibly misguided, reasons that they though were right for their own safety or way of life, not to increase t

I love my young pal mC like a prodigal son.. but just read his posts! He is as pro Russia as Lord Haw Haw was pro Nazi ! Its my own fault, I’ve took it upon myself to educate him, but I can’t give up on him; I’d consider it a great failure if I couldn’t lead him from the darkness to the light and I’m not just talking about politics….he’s got a strange and disturbing mindset when it comes to lurchers , as well ! It’s a hard, if not impossible, task I’ve set myself, but I can’t give up ! Cheer.

I must have got it wrong …..I thought RUSSIA invaded UKRAINE….. To be fair, America has in the recent past retreated into America first, f**k everyone else, something I wish the UK would do, As for blinkered , I look at the world through an impassioned , neutral view and try to make sense of what I see and experience. You seem to take an anti western , anti USA, anti UK view and a pro Russia, Pro Chinese view. Maybe you should just realise they are all shithouses and it’s still what Rudyard Kipling called “ The Great Game”, a military and political game of chess between the “

I respect, if don’t agree with, your opinion. why didn’t they just carpet bomb the full country instead of losing so much manpower and materiel ? Could it have been that Ukraines air defences, which have virtually negated Russias air superiority, would have prevented it, just as the western supplied anti armour ground to ground missiles have decimated Russias much vaunted tank units ? Of course Ukraine has lost many men…but “needlessly “ ? They are defending their country, women and children; Russia, on the other hand, are losing thousands of THEIR men in a war they started and wo

“Useful idiots”. Cheers.

She’s putting her lipstick on in the street….I wonder if she knows she’d be stoned to death for doing that in Iran ? Cheers.

Well put ! As you probably know, my comment was tongue in cheek. Cheers.

Ten riyals each ,(£2) in Jeddah old suq; I was thinking of asking the daughter in law to bring me a hundred when she comes here with my grandson ! £10 each to the protesters; £5 each to Newcastle supporters! PMSL ! Cheers.

I wonder how many of those white , middle class protesters have actually been to the Middle East or met a Palestinian ? Probably bought their “Yasser Arafat “ scarves on Amazon . Cheers.

Did any of them seem to be middle aged, middle class left overs from the anti Vietnam war era or Greenham Common types, simply looking for something, anything, to protest against ? Cheers.

I’m confused, Wilfy ! I thought, by your other posts, that you were a Galloway supporter ? Please say it ain’t so ! LOL ! Shalom Aleichem.

What war are you watching ? The Russians made a blitzkreig for Kiev and got stopped and pushed back, so made a run for the Dombas and, again, got stopped. Its now turned into WW1 type “trench warfare” with neither side making any progress and losing thousands of troops on each side and Russias materiel being degraded massively. It’ll Peter out to a stalemate and a negotiated cease fire with Russia keeping the Crimea and some of the Dombas region. There won’t be any winner, but NATO has seen that Russia isn’t the super power they think they are . So, as usual, just my opi

A Newcastle match the other week, Ally McCoist was commentating and a corner was cleared by a Newcastle header, McCoist said “ they are never going to get past Newcastles defence like that, all their defenders are all 6’4” ! It was Keiran Trippier who headed away, the smallest player on the pitch ! Cheers.

My neighbour , ex Newcastle player John Anderson, comments on the games for radio Newcastle, and he once slipped up when a co commentators asked him “well John, how do you think the games going ?” John replied “ how the f**k do you think ? We’re 5-0 up at half time ! “ LOL ! Cheers.

George ripped him a new one ! Doesn’t matter what you think of him, a piss poor interviewer like that sap will never get the better of Galloway ! Better get the popcorn in for next weeks PMQ’s ! Cheers.

Watching the darts tonight and the commentator said “ If he hadn’t missed 17 darts at a double the game would have been a lot closer” ! The other night a commentator said “ If he had scored better and hit more doubles than his opponent, he might have won the game” ! Im old enough to remember “Whispering “ Ted Lowe commenting on a snooker match when he said “ he needs the blue, and for anyone watching in black and white, that’s the ball next to the green” ! Sometimes its best just to turn the sound off ! LOL ! Cheers.

The Khoisan click language would be easier to learn than Irish Gaelic ….. Cheers.

Galloway is a carpetbagger; he’s already talking about standing in Bethnal Green at the General Election as he knows that Labour will have a candidate in Rochdale that will beat him. His right hand man , Williamson , is so far left he makes Corbyn look like Thatcher, but if they found a parliamentary seat that had a majority of far right voters, Galloway would be wearing a Nazi uniform and telling everyone that Hitler was really a good man ! Morals ? Scruples ? Integrity ? Honour ? Traits you won’t find in any politician, but don’t be looking for them in Galloway ! Just my opinion

It does seem strange that she’s now not a British citizen but she is still getting legal aid, estimated at over £4 million so far ! And that could double if she appeals to the Supreme Court and then to the European Court Of Human Rights ! And news comes out today that we are not spending £8 million a day on hotels for illegal immigrants; it’s actually £15 million per day ! Cheers.

They came across, to me, as unpretentious, not taking themselves too seriously. The never described themselves as chefs; just cooks. Enjoyed watching their shows , until they went a bit vegan. Seemed like a pair of blokes you could have a pint and a craic with. Cheers.

Does “basic” have to be ugly ? Looks like something Trabant would have produced years ago. Cheers.

Bullherder ? Cheers.

I can vouch for the terrain ! I took my old deer x up there to run bolted rabbits with Davey and his dogs and first run my bitch had was down into a rock strewn gully and she came back with a stopper hanging off ! That was the end of her day. But I’ve had some great days up there, really enjoyable, and Davey’s dogs, the beddy types and the ACD cross certainly knew their job ! Cheers.
