Spot on Bird. That comment is as applicable to Ireland as it is to any current war zone. Now I don't want to upset anyone so I'll try to be sensitive. Do you really think that can be applied to this situation? The way I see it this same problem is seen all over the world where historically a colony was established and never successfully repelled by the natives of the day leading to the progeny on both sides many many generations later having a social and often ethnic divide. Pretty much the story behind the birth of every country. I think it's reasonable to say that today simply co

not forgetting old nosey,,,wellington,,,,all them battles in france spain and portugal,,during the Napolionic/peninsular wars,,,and eventualy waterloo ...and the 'cockleshell heroes' in Operation Frankton. The words of Lord Mountbatten, the commander of Combined Operations, are carved into a Purbeck stone at Royal Marines Poole (current headquarters of the SBS): "Of the many brave and dashing raids carried out by the men of Combined Operations Command none was more courageous or imaginative than Operation Frankton". Fuckloads of similar examples.

Order and civility, even when doing very uncivilised acts. When being asked to do the impossible, politely informing everyone that the task is impossible and that there is no hope and then going away and doing it anyway! Quiet little villages tucked away where you still feel that you live in a quiet and free country. A rich history of global exploits; good, bad and ugly.

I can see that happening but her father's legacy will dictate whether it's sooner or later. Like Chelsea Clinton. I don't know shit really about what you guys have going on but she just strikes me as having a hell of a lot of potential in that game. Given a decade of experience playing politics I reckon the woman would destroy the likes of Hillary in an election. She's already upsetting the more hardline con's in Trumps team with her more moderate views. But you've touched on the right point, it ain't today's Democrats she will be facing so who knows. She's someone I'm paying atten

It could depend on how damaging, if at all, her fathers administration is....... ....I think trump would defo prefer her as First Lady over melania! Haha.... I edited my post to that end, LOL.

Don't mean to change the subject of discussion but anybody else reckon that Ivanka will eventually be the Republican nominee in maybe 2-3 elections time? She's carefully being entered into that world and is very presentable and when the political time is right I can see her being the choice of a more progressive and polished Republican candidate. Though I reckon her father's tenure/legacy will make or break any career in politics she might have. Being his daughter will always be a part of it for her in the eyes of the electorate and media.

Miss these goat hunting threads Jig, nice to see one again! You ever tried field butchering it and pack it out? Got to be easier than dragging over that country.
-
Was watching a bit of it yesterday. Both Comey and Rodgers struck me as very professional. Quite refreshing after all the showmanship of politics recently.
-
I'm surprised they want to trigger it so early. There's another two days in the month left that they could have used to drag it out further.

Possibly but then it was given to them on a plate with the first trial not considering certain pieces of evidence and therefore not offering manslaughter. I think that has always been the defences assertion since the first trial. Right I see. I'm still split on what is right & wrong is this case tbh.....Though obviously the 'Murder' verdict was very harsh under the circumstances, the technicalities are there for all to see. I've supported him from the beginning. I'm not saying he wants a medal but I do believe we as a society need to a reality check regarding war and to treat what he d

How do you know that there were plenty of lads out there in the Exactley the same conditions Ever fire fight is diffrent as far as I know All people act differently under duress ever soldiers So basically if you fight for your country and fuc up , and there's been plenty that have, you get hung out to dry The lads in his unit were in exactly the same conditions and they didn't lose control and bring disgrace on the forces did they? Obviously everyone acts differently under duress and those who can't handle the stress and lose control don't belong in the armed forces, that's why Blackman w

Personally I'd prefer a well disciplined and professional soldier between them and my family rather than a mentally ill man who by his own admission can't deal with the stress of combat. oh id say old Al would do just fine in a combat situation, he manipulative an a liar he can take somebodies life in the blink of an eye, he all the hallmarks of a serial killer, but he just learned to play the game....lets see how quick his head gets the all clear when he has a release date You understand that the 'mental illness' that gave him diminished responsibility isn't a case of nervous bre

Firstly it's £30k not £300k Secondly this appears to be the link to his fundraiser page. It's a f***ing joke that he has to pay that bill, but people don't want to get active enough to fix these kind of injustices so he's just going have to hope enough people agree with him. No longer accepting donations apparently?
-
Who should pick up the tab for his legal representation then? The no hoper who he shot? Reckon they'd be waiting a long time for him to pay that off. It's a shitty situation for the old boy but someone has to pay the lawyer's fees. He won't be paying out of his own pocket anyway, all the folk that have been singing his praises online will kick in to the fundraiser I'm sure. i dont think it should matter how long they have to wait for the money, i am not sure you should base a system of liability on who will pay quickest? and why should the people who have been supporting him be expected

As far as im aware this is not a recorded conversation under oathe,we haven't just tapped anyone on the shoulder its just an exchange of opinions on a web forum so i dont quite follow with the " minding my own business until someones business effects mine " As far as glass houses go well if you believe you take part in cruel practises with animals then yes i guess you shouldnt be calling them....if you dont then tell it how it is i dont know why folk are so didgy around calling a spade a spade. Showing dogs on the whole is cruel and unnecessary whether its Cocker Spaniels,Manchester Te

Yes it was in reference to yourself,Wilf....and anyone else who makes excuses for what is essentially a cruel and needless practise and as likeminded folk who share a love and respect for dogs i dont really understand your sentiments......whos talking about preserving dog breeds ? not me......i dont know enough about certain lines and strains of working dog breeds to comment on whether they are being improved or ruined............im talking about dogs on an individual basis not representatives of breeds and how they should act/look through the generations.....these people are purposely being c

Dunno whether that was partly in reference to my post. If so, I certainly don't support this stuff but equally I don't really give a toss. Simply it ain't any of my business or concern and I find it a little perplexing why some folk think it is the ruination of working breeds. To me the ruination of working breeds comes from every dogman finding something more suited to their job, leaving few interested in carrying on the breeding of the minority breeds. The deerhound used to be popular as a sighthound for big runs.... until the saluki came to this island. All sorts of terriers used to

There's one thing that has never quite summed up in my head regarding why a lot of folks get pissy about the KC and Crufts etc... Why does anyone care what the show fraternity do to their dogs? Working lines should be kept separate, as the different breed they are. Moaning about the show lot ruining a working breed just seems like moaning about your own lack of action. Gundogs & hounds have managed to thrive well enough in this 'new world', they got their house in order and managed to keep their lines separate and successful. Is it not true that a lot of these breeds that becam

Won't he be entitled to anything to pay his legal costs then ? I have no idea. You'd have thought so plus compensation for the trouble but based on the man's quote he didn't give that impression. Reckoned he'd need a loan and have to pay it back over a long time.
-
Great result, I thought so too...........oh wait, except he now has a £30k legal bill to pay! It should never have left the farmer's kitchen after a quick chat with the police. The dosey twats searched his farm for f***ing hostages FFS! Forensics, ARU, helicopter, the works!

Seriously....... you actually think they were there with a heart full of good intentions? no I defoe think they were on the rob I think I probably misinterpreted what you said then.
