  1. A process which really would involve a genocide - there are what, 9.5 million Israelis. They would literally be driven into the sea and slaughtered. October 7, and all it's horrors would only be a "taster". Israel knows and understands this. They will not lose. Ultimately they know that the only thing which will buy a generation of relative peace is to utterly destroy Hamas. Something else will eventually arise to replace them, but Israel will be prepared. There is not going to be peace in Israel. End of.
  2. I wonder why the Donald told her to put the boot in now? Still no doubt she reckons it can't hurt her chances of getting the VP slot!
  3. I understood that certainly until recently, you could have a limited time "added" to your passport if you renewed it a few months early, so that technically when issued it would be valid for 10 years and a few months. I am surprised that there are 2.4 million British passport holders at present whose passports are over 10 years old, and in the last months of this "extra validity!" It does sound like more "the sky is falling in due to Brexit bull" - but then I saw it was The Independent! If you are daft enough to book a flight or trip without checking your passport is valid...
  4. Frankly, if people are daft enough to invest money in an undertaking which has lost 50 million USD on revenues of 5 million USD, there is little one can do except shake ones head and walk away!
  5. Probably enough for a couple of shares at the rate it seems to be going!
  6. If all he tells us about his alcohol consumption is true should burn with a clear blue flame!
  7. Come on, he's not going anywhere! It's the weekly bull! I doubt he could run to the bus fare to the airport, let alone flights!
  8. I suspect that for "Bob" liquid assets are just that - the contents of the bottle in front of him!
  9. Tugs when manoeuvring such vessels around and under bridges. Yes, employing a couple of tugs would have added to costs, but a damn site cheaper than a new bridge!
  10. Good advice, but perhaps the personal touch may be needed? If he were to present himself at an Immigration Office, he would be well received, and could make an appointment, giving him time to muster and to present all his evidence. Perhaps the second of April next would be an auspicious date ( Mondays are invariably busy). He will be seen off from the office by many waves, and cheery cries of "see you next Tuesday"!
  11. Ah, it was only a question of time until our "friend" returned to his favourite topic, commenting adversely on foreigners relationships with Thai women. Doesn't take much to open that festering wound does it?
  12. Robust and challenging training is central to basic training in military and paramilitary organisations. There is a fine line between conducting such training and bullying; and there will always be instructors who cross that line, at times inadvertently, at times because they enjoy doing so. It is one of the functions (leadership) of their superiors to ensure that does not happen, and to identify and monitor vulnerable recruits.
  13. Haven't travelled on it for some years. Does it still have that loud bang when it goes over the points at one of the stations - I think the one where the maintenance depot is? I remember thinking something is not quite right with that!
  14. Oh I expect they have been bearing it in mind since the coup which deposed him, (well put a stop to his re-election) and the subsequent pearl clutching, swooning, "prosecutions". Everyone outside the "AN Thaksin haters bubble" knows that he and his sister are the only democratically elected leaders Thailand has had in the last 25 years.
  15. It is wonderful to have a hobby isn't it? I build model trains!
  16. Young Mr Rittenhouse really needs to be aware that enthusiasts and others like him will last no time, if they decide to make their guns part of the electoral process. If they "come out", and it is decided or necessary to disarm them, it will be quick and brutal. The ability to spray bullets downrange together with his bold words to Joe Biden or anyone else will count for nothing. His onanistic teenage fantasies of "gunplay" will end within the first 30 seconds of encountering state or government forces who know what they are doing!
  17. Perhaps not, but they must retain the right to sweep the crest line with fire, just in case... Who knows what kind of people may be up there? Undocumented, aliens, illegals, Mexicans, other Latinos - must be like living on the set of Apocalypse Now!
  18. Given the febrile atmosphere rather surrounding politics in the USA this fellow, and more like him, is likely to emerge on the streets with his gun in November and the following months. Inevitably shots will be fired, inevitably he or some like him will be slotted.
  19. As far as I can understand, this undertaking has in the last year had revenues of 4 million USD and made a loss of 40 million USD. It's share values have gone up massively in recent months, driven almost exclusively by small investors in the MAGA camp. Now if Trump cashes in immediately and realises the suggested 3 billion USD he will have to move quickly, if the board allows him to do so, as the value of the shares will plummet! It seems a scam, at the very least manipulation of the stock values. Now I know very little about the laws and rules governing such matters, but it looks to me like a "steal". Are there not regulations in place to prevent this practice? as for using that money to put up the bond, Monday is the deadline, so if it isn't done by close of play Monday it will be in vain. I don't think that the New York courts will accept a "Billy Bunter filing" - "I say you fellows, I haven't got the cash just now but I will have the postal order any day now!"
