  1. Congrats mate. I hit the 20 year mark, Wednesday just gone.
  2. Binned satellite years ago... Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon all the way.
  3. Good suggestions from above. I'll add salmon, mackerel, egg yolks, and cheese as additional good sources of Vit D. Also recommend reducing overall sugar intake as it's well known to leech nutrients from the bones and can accelerate/exacerbate osteoporosis. The absolute best way, as mentioned, is sunlight. Have a look at the UV lamps that the Scandanavians use.
  4. I think being outrightly corrupt is a bit of a stretch but there's definitely corruption within and that can be said for most organisations. The Red Cross came under fire recently for 'losing' half a billion in Haiti and then there was the noncery commited under the Oxfam banner and while disgraceful I wouldn't agree that it's their mission statement and more that they've been infiltrated by a criminal element. While I don't see THL going in for the £2 a month pledge the website www.charitynavigator.org is a pretty good start if you want to see which of these organisations are the best value f
  5. BBC and CNN in the same thread? Fake news.
  6. MP's have just awarded themselves a 2.7% pay increase! Go team!
  7. Is that in the same way that "Bolton" translates into German as "Sh*tty Arseh*les?"
  8. The lack of diversity in this case would be an issue I'd have thought. But it didn't seem to be a problem in the Old Testament so it'll be reet.
  9. There's a few but the two that immediately spring to mind are the mountain gorilla and the coelacanth. The coelacanth turns up fairly regularly by all accounts but the mountain gorilla thought to be extinct by the Victorians, rediscovered, and is now critically endangered thanks to poaching. The rarity blessing might also be it's curse.
  10. More good from the Korean summit.
  11. I'm out of likes for today so I'll have to give you a in lieu of a like! You've either not read what I posted or deliberately attempting to misconstrue it. I'm guessing a bit of both.
  12. Press release following the summit in Vietnam... NK were willing to de-nuclearize some areas in exchange for lifting all sanctions. Don's not happy with the areas up for negotiation and has walked away pending further negotiations. No deal. Honestly, this seems like the best result we could have expected from the summit. I know Don was expecting more but recent weeks have seen the WH scale back their expectations from the meeting and rightly so as it played out. As Don's mentioned there have been no further nuclear tests and that is definitely progress.
  13. I don't doubt it mate. I hear that executive time is a real drain!
  14. Looks like they're up to their old tricks again...
  15. Looking at the pellet trajectory, and if you slow down the video, it appears to be a .25 firing some experimental ammunition. [Pre-Ban] Hypothetically you can wrap some wire behind the tip of the arrow that will act as a kind of barb. Stops wounded squiggers from running away... so I've heard... Allegedly. [/Pre-Ban]
  16. Don't forget to click like, and subscribe! Oh! And if you could spare a couple of quid too!
  17. Spending time in a Spanish airport queue is a r.ite of passage. I've spent longer than that in a queue before Brexit.
  18. Pretty much. You think what we have access to as civilians is essentially declassified military technology that was superceded by something better. Look how accurate the GPS is on your phone, so if you combine that with a range finder you probably have something that Socks may have used in Kosovo!
  19. I was always under the impression that they use laser target designators for precision munitions? I know for the A10's they have to nosedive at the target and line it up.
  20. Not sure on that one but it doesn't sound right, I'm sure Born could settle that one with some physics. I'd have thought they'd addressed any issues like that as the whole plane is basically designed around the front gun. To think the Yanks nearly scrapped them prior to Desert Storm!
  21. Yeah! That's why these lads are the best in the world!
  22. The first vid has a little clip of the second vid in it. I started it at 6 minutes because that's when it all went wrong for them!
