  1. Damn! One more badge than I had in the cubs.
  2. Before you get too far along with the Suez Canal, you might want to read about the expansion and outcomes of the Arab/Muslim caliphates invading and occupying much of in Europe from 711. Oh, and not just the nicer bits.
  3. Hello, Mr. Cynical. Agree. How have you been??
  4. There were two. The larger group were successful after the smaller group failed
  5. Perhaps but I am starting to think this might be another Hamas red herring.
  6. The PCRF version of the history of Palestine (and Palestinians) looks to have been invented/shortened to justify their noble mission. But this version is far from any other that I've seen. To say that Palestinians have lived throughout history from the river to the sea is very misleading and ignores the existence of the Israelites, who have been trying to live there for more than 3000 years, whenever other empires allowed them to. Several different groups of Arabs in this Palestinian area drifted in and out but there is no record of them being and living there constantly, and certainly not for continuous thousands of years!
  7. Your (insulting) opinion but nothing to do with the comment that you replied to.
  8. Yes, several accounts of the Oct 7 events said this. I suppose there are several different groups with different interests in Gaza but all seem to have been controlled by Hamas so far. But why these protests now?
  9. Seems so. The story is misleading. The crime was committed and tried in the UK. These people were just living here for a while. I wonder where else they went?
  10. I think that even Brandon managed to accumulate a lot more than 10 million.
  11. The mean value can be calculated to this scale using methods like GPS continuous data collection and processing, over several years.
  12. I largely agree with your post but some others here evidently do not. I think that is due to the fact that, I assume, from your name, your comments are written from a solely western continental European perspective. Some Americans, and others, are fairly upset that you seem to have not included the war in Vietnam into your view - just my take. Some analysts break the boomers into two stages (1 and 2), with (2) starting in 1955, so most in this latter category would likely have been spared involvement in Vietnam due their (younger) ages at draft time. Being English by birth, and growing up there, I agree that most boomers in most of the western world were lucky to have had the benefit of a mainly peaceful society, fair education and a lot of care and love from two parents, many of whom had served in WW2. My parents both served and were so relieved that they got through the war - but they wanted to make sure that their kids would not have to do the same - I think that was a natural and common feeling then and, as a result boomers got extra parental protection though childhood. Looking back, in the UK at least, this post war relief seemed to last until the end of our generation and this infected people and society in such a good way that most people were actually polite and quite nice to each other for most of two decades. For later generations to blame boomers, or anyone else, for today's problems, is naive. The direction of the masses and countries is rarely controlled by more than just a few people. These groups often cause damage but are spawned in every generation.
  13. Looks like it kept ascending, to end up on top of the old wagon? Talk about forced entry!
  14. Have they taken over from the Fortuna Flyers then?
  15. They were when they were in the EU.
  16. You should step in and fix everything. Or if not, just stop whining.
  17. Big job. At least somebody is trying to make a start. We'll see.
