  1. Entirely wrong. The islands, which are over 2000 Kms distance from Mauritius, belong to the Chagossians. Mauritius laid claim to them, under Chinese influence, following independence in 1968.
  2. Brits need to wake up. They are being betrayed from within.
  3. An American friend who worked on a security detail at Mar a Lago told me Trump has a great sense of humour.
  4. I reckon India would just about beat Thailand in a contest for which of the two is the most accomplished litterer.
  5. My wife likewise, and me also. I recently, foolishly, gave the number of a bank card to a very legitimate-sounding caller, only to wake up and realize I was being scammed. Of course I immediately cancelled the card. Scammers are becoming highly sophisticated and clever. Caution needed at all times.
  6. Some will say 'how sweet', others 'pass the vomit bucket'.
  7. 'Could be partially responsible....no explicit order'. In other words, not guilty.
  8. Musk has not become the richest person in the world by accident. He is a businessman through and through. His strategies throughout his career to date have been highly successful, to put it mildly. Worth paying attention to who he supports, and why.
  9. Google has become. sadly and increasingly. a waste of time.
  10. Fair question. I doubt, though, you will get even one sensible answer.
  11. What it says is, to repeat the insult made by a former losing candidate, that Trump supporters are the 'Deplorables'. That lost her the election.
  12. Using bar lingo the expression 'cheap Charlie' comes mind.
  13. As a former BP employee I can confirm this does not refer to BP. I can further confirm that you are correct. The 60% majority in the parent company, known as Royal Dutch Shell, is Dutch, while the British shareholding is 40%.
  14. It can only be assumed that the delayed timing of the release of this movie had nothing to do with the alleged circulation difficulties referred to, rather a deliberate attempt to undermine Trump's chances on November 5.
  15. I appreciate the tragic and trying situation the mother faced, but throwing her baby's body into the trash can. Surely not right ?
  16. Surely what's important is the mental and physical state of health of the individual. I have one friend who is 93 who runs everyday and is mentally sharp, and another who is late 60s and pretty much clueless, sadly.
  17. ....plus some very sloppy editing.
