He would, but his phone battery is (jolly inconveniently) flat!

That is what I said.

Well he certainly knows what one costs - $130,000 and 32 felony convictions!

He was suffering from advanced Alzheimer's Disease.

8 days at least. Did no one even pick up the phone?

As were the Czech Republic, Slovakia, large tracts of Poland, Hungary, Bosnia, Slovenia, Croatia and parts of Romania. The Austro Hungarian Empire, which included all these countries, came spectacularly unstuck over a hundred years ago, at the end of the First World War ( which they rather foolishly started), and to the general satisfaction of most of the people's of those countries. Are you suggesting that the Czech Republic, Slovakia, large tracts of Poland, Hungary, Bosnia, Slovenia, Croatia and parts of Romania are also "made up countries" after all most of them were identifiable countries well before they were unwillingly incorporated into the unwieldy "made up" Austro Hungarian Empire, and long before the United States was "made up", I do apologise, formed. Incidentally, Germany, Norway, Belgium and Italy have all been "made up" in the last couple of centuries, largely to the general satisfaction of their people's. Now I do realise that we/they ( even my foggy Island off the coast of France) are effete Euro socialists, but, we do have certain "takeaways" from the last few hundred years, one of which is that " made up empires" rarely fare well, and should in general avoid picking fights with their smaller neighbours. A point which was ignored (or not recognised) by your mascara smeared Vice President and his dissolute piss head sidekick during their recent European lecture tour!

And if you had read my post, before you had started bellowing like some outraged mastadon (magadon?) you would have seen that I was neither commenting on inflation nor currency, rather remarking on the suggestion that the original poster is the "person who holds the records for the most lies, hate and invective on this Forum". As so often you have totally missed the point!

I know that most of your posts could be described as an " area weapon" but you are so far off target it defies description! As I said, "extraordinary"!

I think that the favourite American phrase is "collateral damage".

However did you manage to deduce that from my post? Extraordinary!

If he does hold such a record, it is a remarkable achievement given the competition from what might be termed the "other side of the fence"!

Read my post before you get all "punchy", I didn't say I was offended,did I. In fact I opened my post by saying that I wasn't particularly offended!

As an Englishman, a Catholic and a follower of Cricket I can't say that I was particularly upset about the ECBs quip. Given the Popes current ill health it may have been in questionable taste. There is also, sometimes, the occasional niggling irritant when aspects and practices of our faith, which are important and significant to some of us are mocked, however gently. But outrage - that would be like calling for a fatwah on Dave Allen!

Wasn't the main drive of the vaccination campaign to vaccinated those who were elderly or had other health issues which made them more vulnerable to COVID? They are now 4 years older, and still have health vulnerabilities. That may have some bearing on why they are dieing?

Existing factories taking up spare capacity.

You set out to pick a fight, congratulations, you got one. Having the "courage" to wear a red baseball cap in Thailand does not bring with it the right to call upon the moderators to suppress opinions you don't like.

Oh, that would be a shame! 😔

Well certainly if he insists on standing on a pile of paper clutching a can of petrol and a "burning brand"!

Well I doubt that they will dig him up after a couple of years, stick his head on a spike and mount it on a bridge over the Potomac - but I get your drift!

The future of AI. I understand that AI requires lots of energy (electricity) and "rare minerals". Funnily enough Canada has both! Then of course Greenland and Ukraine...

I see another one of his rocket ships has gone of bang shortly after launch. I do wonder why he is allowed to continue to fire them into the Florida skies, only for them to scatter themselves as debris all over the place - surely the FAA must have a view? Ah, I have just spotted the flaw in my arguement!

Says the man who regularly suggests that he should get involved in the UK...

"This incident follows a similar act last year when pro-Palestinian activists sprayed red paint over Senate House, another historic university building." If they had been then this latest vandalism would probably not have happened.

It was a marvelous testament to the regenerative properties conveyed by a diet of Big Macs and Diet Coke!

One plans for contingencies. The threats to both Canada and Greenland are consistent and persistent. The US maintains a military which is large enough to do either from a "standing start". That said I doubt that the people of the US would appreciate their National Guard being rotated through Canada on occupation duties. It is a big country - how many troops will be needed, for example, to garrison and escort convoys on the trucking routes through Canada to Alaska? Along with the threats Trump is doing his best to smash NATO. His scorn for other international bodies - notably the UN is obvious; ironically both bodies were largely created by the US to prevent exactly this sort of thing from happening again! He may be trolling, but given his actions and the capacities he controls, as I said, one plans for contingencies.
