  1. It’s all part of what’s known as “The Great Game” mate. Its been going on since the 1800’s, countries jostling for position and power. It started with Britain being worried about Russias designs on India, and the wars in Afghanistan over the years are mainly a result of it. The game has moved to Eastern Europe and Central Asia, same players and same objectives . I think it’s known as “Real Politik”. Cheers.
  2. How about the drones Putin is getting from Iran, the ammunition he’s getting from China, the soldiers and equipment he’s getting from North Korea ? Its a proxy war and both sides have help mate. Cheers.
  3. He sure f****d up those pussy Spetznaz in Afghanistan when he was fighting for the Mujahadeen and the Talban ! Cheers.
  4. The Beano ….. Cheers.
  5. Francie , mate , Voyager travels at 380,000 mph, Saturn V travelled at 25,000mph , the ISS travels at 17500 mph, do you think they are all hoax’s ? You don’t even need a telescope to see the ISS at times ! Its not up to us to prove to you , we know it’s true because it’s actually happening. If you don’t believe it then you need to prove it by publishing peer reviewed data, not something from a conspiracy site. You don’t believe anything can go past earths atmosphere but the UK with Europe, the US , Russia, China, Japan , India have all done it. Is it some world wide conspi
  6. Isn’t it amazing that the Wright brothers first flew in 1903, for 20 seconds, and 70 years later an aircraft capable of carrying 400 people flew halfway round the world and man had walked on the moon ! Cheers.
  7. And of course the first true “jumbo jet”, the Boeing 747 , made its first flight in 1969 ! Cheers.
  8. I think it’s just a case of people finally getting sick of the legacy parties and wanting something different. Im honestly surprised Labour won, but looking at the vote share it was fairly close between Labour, SNP and Reform. The Tory’s are finished. I’m watching Kemi on tv right now trying you appear hard on illegal immigrants…. They had 14 years of doing nothing, who’s going to believe her now ? Cheers.
  9. Who do you think rigged it Scotty ? Surely not the “Establishment” , they are hell bent on destroying Reform ! Cheers.
  10. One of my few great regrets was I had the chance to see in new year in London, get on Concorde and fly to New York and see in the new year there but I didn’t take it. Now, I’m sure someone will say that’s impossible as you can’t go back in time and I’m not going to open that particular can of worms trying to explain it ! LOL ! Cheers.
  11. Is it a coincidence that Concorde , the Harrier VTOL jet and man landing on the moon all occurred in 1969, or was it the culmination of a huge leap forward in aviation technology ? Cheers.
  12. Concorde could stretch up to ten inches during supersonic flight. Cheers.
  13. Just got in from checking the newly hatched chicks and already I can see mushy has had what appears to be a hallucinatory drug induced breakdown , Francie thinks the worlds a disc, (Terry Pratchett’s a novelist, mate, not a physicist ! ), Musk is threatening to pull Space X and strand the astronauts on the ISS , but it doesn’t really matter as mChull thinks it’s all a hoax anyway……..and it’s only Friday morning; can’t wait for tonight ! LOL ! Cheers.
  14. I was going to say something about infinity, but I’m f****d if I’m going to be likened to a peacock again ! LOL ! Cheers.
  15. That’s why I hedged my bets ! LOL ! Cheers.
  16. Who believes we were monkeys ? I thought we, monkeys, the great apes, gibbons, etc were different branches of an evolutionary line, you know, like dogs, bears and maybe seals were different branches of another evolutionary line. Or we could have just been made from mud by some diety……. Cheers.
  17. He might just disappear, but maybe not to the moon ….. ! LOL ! Cheers.
  18. Musk has called for Trump to be impeached, Trump has threatened to stop all government contracts and subsidies to Musks companies! Most powerfull man in the world v richest man in the world ! High stakes, who wins ? I’m guessing the President. Cheers.
  19. So who or how should we be governed? I remember being in a debate about governance and I championed a “benevolent dictatorship “ , but with the proviso that benevolent dictators never stay benevolent once the get power; “ power corrupts, absolute power absolutely corrupts “! Churchills saying “ Democracy is the least bad of all other forms of government” springs to mind. I don’t have an answer , but we must ditch the legacy parties and give an insurgence party at least a try, and at the moment Reform are the only insurgence party whose policies broadly align with mine. Cheers
  20. You think Reform is a main party ? Granted Anderson has done the rounds but I think he has now found a home for his politics that Labour and the Tories couldn’t give him. There is no noticeable difference between the three main legacy parties, Lib/Lab/Con, so I personally would like to give an insurgent party, who have the same policies as mine a go . They may, quite probably , let me down, but we won’t know ‘till we try them….we know exactly what we’ll get by continually voting in the legacy parties……more of the same ! Just my own personal opinions, of course. Cheers.
  21. I think he’s too toxic . It would be an open goal for Labour and the Tories to keep bringing up. Havent a clue who could come in , though. Cheers. Update: Chris Hope is on Patrick Christy’s show on GBNews tonight at 9 to talk about who could be Reforms new Chairman.
  22. I don’t think I can be accused of having a short attention span but going round and round on this ad nauseam is getting rather tedious, and I’d like my protégé’s views on politics rather than his well known views in space travel. Cheers.
  23. We’ve all moved over to the Starmer thread , mate ! Get with the program, keep up to date ! LOL ! Cheers.
  24. It’s on all day in the background and I’ve got it on my phone with notifications ! News hound or Nerd ? LOL ! Cheers.
