  1. Trump has just said civil aviation has gone backwards because we could fly New York / London in a third of the time on Concord and wants to bring back supersonic civilian commercial flight. That is something I’d like, but I disagree about it going backwards, it moved forward to mass , affordable flights. Concorde was very expensive and carried 100 passengers, todays long haul is relatively cheap and carries 500 passengers. It was political interference that ended supersonic commercial flight, governments banning sonic booms over land, but I hope it comes back and the Uk is at the foref
  2. These huge irrigation circle in the Middle East have supposedly changed the routes of some migratory birds. Cheers.
  3. I had most of those cacti growing wild in my garden in Saudi, also aloe vera, which was great if you or the dogs had a cut or a graze, just cut a bit of the leaf off and rub it on the wound. I’m going to get a plant here and try to grow it. It’ll be outside in the summer but taken indoors during the winter. Cheers.
  4. Mine are mixed Mangetout and sugar snaps……. I can’t tell the difference anyway ! Cheers.
  5. Sugar snaps coming through; Courgettes look to being very productive; Cheers.
  6. I used to go most years, but it got steadily worse, the fair selling more and more rubbish that had nothing to do with horses or travelling, the town full of tourists , the bars charging exorbitant prices and full of drunks wanting to fight I was at a hunt show yesterday and met up with an old travelling mate and asked if he had been to Appleby, he said he doesn’t bother now. Also some lads I know used to travel over in horse drawn vardos every year, but didn’t bother this year. I think it’s more of a tourist attraction now, but I have enjoyed it in the past. Cheers.
  7. 11 out of 12 eggs hatched and chicks doing well; Cheers.
  8. mC’s got a new saluki pup ???? Does that mean he’s going to be the bane of my life for many years to come, telling me it’s faster than a non- ped whippet or a greyhound ??? I’ll lose the will to live ! All the best with it mate, I hope it’s phenomenal for you ! Cheers.
  9. It’s a terrible thing to see a breakdown in real time….but strangely compelling ! LOL ! Cheers.
  10. Are you an autistic savant , a misunderstood genius, a rogue intellectual or just on the piss ? Cheers.
  11. If you are insinuating alcoholic drinks, then it’s an occasional treat for me, not a daily requirement . Not that I’m inferring anything , ( of course I am ) ! LOL ! Cheers.
  12. I honestly eat well mate, game, fish, fresh veg, eggs from my own poultry, but I do like cheese, which is probably processed, I don’t drink to excess, but probably more than the governments recommended allowance. Ive never smoked and can say on my kids graves I’ve never took any narcotics. When I was younger I was into things like Karate, weight training, running etc. Now at almost 73, I still am out every day with the dogs , have two huge allotments that I take care of. I have regular medical check ups and dental, ( all my own teeth bar one that got broken), eye sight,( I don’t
  13. Now that picture has my gastric juices flowing whether it’s good for me or not ! Bon Appetite !
  14. Just catching up on Zia suddenly rejoining Reform . My in boxes are full and I need to reply, but Nigel isn’t returning my calls, he must be busy but the f****r better reply or my support may be in jeopardy ! LOL Cheers.
  15. If that test is that I completely and comprehensively rejected your conspiracy theories, none of which I may add have come true ; the stock markets haven’t crashed, the gold standard hasn’t returned, BRICS hasn’t taken over money transfers, the “White Hats” whoever they are, haven’t taken over the world, we haven’t got conscription and any other mad conspiracy theory you have come up with hasn’t happened. You keep telling us all this is imminent, but you keep moving the date when it’s going to happen ! I’ve lived for many years in the real world , been places , done things and seen
  16. Are academically clever and common sense not compatible? ? Cheers. PS, both my late children were fluent in spoken, reading and written Arabic , as is my grandson, I,sadly, to my great detriment am not. I speak the language colloquialy but can’t read your Google generated comment, please don’t patronise me , mate, I don’t do that with you or anyone else. Cheers.
  17. Harsh,but fair ….. Cheers.
  18. It was only Saudi Arabia , mate…. Salam Alaykum.
  19. It was the ands, nands and ors that had me confused for a while, but I had a patient tutor. Cheers.
  20. Francie mate, it gives me absolutely no pleasure to see your complete faith system crumbling in real time here on THL ! We go back a fair while with our discussions, but you were 100% against evolution, but now you agree with me that all primates have a common evolutionary ancestry. You were 100% against the Big Bang , but now you are agreeing with Greb that it happened ! A “road to Damascus “ moment ? We will still love to mate, no matter what ! LOL ! Cheers.
  21. Francie , why couldn’t your omnipotent god just have pointed his finger and said let it be done and non living material become living ? After all he supposedly did it with clay , in the bible, so why not at the beginning ? I don’t know the answers, but the breathing life into clay seems less likely than a god who planned it from the very beginning and saw evolution as the way forward. Cheers.
  22. Mush,I never realised you were a maths graduate, but you know when you’re doing calculations in your head and prime numbers are red, and Fibonacci numbers are blue and numbers that are both prime and Fibonacci are purple, and your trying to plot a graph , do you ever get confused ? Then you’ve got Algebra, and they throw in Boolean Algebra ! How confusing is that ????? Just having a laugh mate ! Cheers.
  23. More chance of convincing my protege that gravity exists than England winning the World Cup on that performance! LOL ! Cheers.
  24. My new dentist is called Gumairas. I asked him if he’s Brazilian or Portuguese, he laughed and said no, I’m no relation to Bruno ! Everyone he meets in Newcastle must ask him ! LOL ! Cheers.
