He’d soon reverse the direction of Haitian flow over that border! I haven’t seen any of the new season yet. It’s a bit of a twat getting hold of it in the uk in real time. Got to find a decent pirate stream.
-
I’ve seen how dangerous them things can be from bits and bats I’ve seen on social media of it in AUS. Absolutely lethal creatures.
-
You watching Yellowstone!? f***ing fantastic television!
-
They look the f***ing part! Great stuff. Nothing against the Haitians like, I'm just happy that there’s still cowboy shit going on.

Totally agree and much overlooked point by the police IMO. Most of my permissions are through keepers or I’m out with a mate on theirs. Any agro and I’d be on the phone to them, but as I said I would opt to avoid it. Only legal requirement for written permission I can think of is terrier work.
-
No never had written permission. Just phone numbers if ever needed. Other than in a very few instances, even with permission, I’ve always acted with discretion. You may well be in the right but few land owners have the temperament to put up with agro, so just avoid it where possible. Certain field sports require written permission by law though. But those tend to have even more reason to be discrete.

Unless the state subsidises manufacturing then we will never compete with China. We expect a higher standard of living and as such overheads are higher. ‘Made in China’ used to be synonymous with ‘shite’. But they’ve been at it a long time now and they have the quality down so we can’t even beat them on that. Im in a similar situation to Newkid in my job, I’m leading the commercialisation of a technological product and contracting out certain aspects of the design and manufacturing. I don’t think I could get it done if I demanded we boycott China. Not to mention I’d certainly be fire

That was my plan B. No wait, I change my mind, PREDATOR! That’s my plan B.

Well, personally I’ve been practicing my karate chops….

Likely. But equally it would be possible to simulate the exposure and draw up limits based on that. I expect at the very least they’ll have bloods done and have time limits in place. Carrying a badge would be trivial so yeah quite likely. I’ve done training on nuclear simulation software by guys out of Los Alamos, they can and have simulated detonations for major cities so a sub would be easy.
-
Oh yeah, fair one. The uk takes safety on that front pretty seriously. Other nations not so much. If for no other reason than losing any of our boats would be a hell of a loss and not quickly replaced. But yeah, be f***ing awful losing buoyancy and getting crushed, not getting crushed and running out of breathable air, being hit by the enemy and drowning, reactor melting down etc etc. All fairly wank ways to die.

I think they’re a long long way from being communist. Liberal maybe but further from being commy than the uk.
-
I agree in that who the f**k wants to be stuck in steel pipe with a load of blokes for four months but the work they do is cool as shit.

Tbf he’s right… the Argentine military of today couldn’t invade a football pitch never mind the falklands!

First and only time a nuclear powered boat has engaged and killed an enemy warship in combat. And they did it with WWII era unguided torpedoes in favour of guided ones. The Royal Navy has quite an edge when it comes to real deal combat experience, in an age where very little happens.
-
Until they take delivery of their SSNs….
-
Astutes kinetic weapons are the TLAM cruise missile and the spearfish torpedo. Neither are nuclear and if you then say well they could fit nuclear warheads to them then I’d say well they could fit nuclear warheads to anything really. Only our vanguard boats carry nuclear weapons. We’re talking purely nuclear propulsion here. This is strategically important because SSNs have the advantage in blue water compared to SSKs which specialise in the littorals really. The Aussies aren’t buying ballistic missile boats. They want hunter killers.
-
Five eyes? The RCN only run SSKs and the kiwis outright ban nuclear propulsion and weapons. They’re left out because they don’t want part of it. I’ll guarantee all involved would love to have Canada and NZ want in at some level. Canada especially.
-
I think AUS would’ve been up for that anyway but for sure this strengthens that and fits right in with uk strategy of forward deployment. One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the kiwis stance on all of this. They have a less than minimum military force, are heavily dependent on trade with China and they’ve reminded the Aussies and the world that they’ve banned nuclear anything, in this case nuclear propulsion, in their territories. Now I love NZ but they’re clearly taking a policy of appeasement…
-
The french are antagonistic b*****ds but I do hope they find their feet. They’re a serious player in the Europe and indeed globally. There are states that make better allies and industry partners to the uk but few who have the same full spectrum capability. And the West needs that.
-
Make no doubt about it, this is very blatantly and clearly a reaction to China’s actions. This wouldn’t be happening if China weren’t a concern to AUS. It’s the only reason in fact. AUS are really signalling to the world they are going to stand their ground.
-
I think where you fall with the effect on the likeliness of conflict with China is weighted heavily by your politics. Does more stick hold adversary at bay or encourage them to attack? One of the concerns that I read was that it will encourage a regional arms race, with others now wanting SSNs and so further proliferation of high grade nuclear fuel. I’m don’t buy it if I’m honest. I’d imagine this deal adds weight to the UK brand in such circles as NATO.
