nauseus

You still have the photo. Lovely.

I'm sure that the Captain and officers were properly trained and certified but the ship was not under command as it approached the bridge, due to what looks to be the main engine stuck in reverse gear, taking the ship fast astern. There was at least one tug close by, I assume to assist the vessel off the dock and out into the channel. I'm just surprised that they were not connected together with a standby tow line, at least until the ship was clear of the bridge and underway ahead, so that this incident might have been managed and avoided.

What is relevant is that this "fall" was actually a return to the previous trend after the pandemic excesses.

Take a good look at the VDO's, Tug.

She was under power but not under control, Moving astern faster than the wind and current when she collided with the bridge,

Do you really believe all this started just last week or is it that you just hate Trump?

Your usual nonsense. This downgrade has been coming for at least a decade.

Joke of the day.

The US dollar fall started decades ago.

Not for the first time. This has been coming for a while. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_government_credit-rating_downgrades

Looks like the M/E was stuck in reverse.

Could you speak up a bit please?

Spoken like a true pot.

Sold out?

Deaf and pompous. Have another pint.

Have another pint.

'My' facts are just that, facts? Because you say so? You 'seem' to remember? Right. I used BJ's pic (briefly) as a wind-up. At least that was a success, it now 'seems'? The Johnson tweak was completely relevant because Merkel/May's deal was crap but it largely survived to be served as Boris's oven-ready deal turkey. In my post I went back as far as the 1960's - not the 1850's - the Empire was over already. World vision? However much you might dream, the EU has little influence on global events and this smidgen decreases more with time. My hoped-for idea of a post-Brexit relationship was that the UK should be free of the EU political regime but with an amicable and mutually beneficial relationship. So pretty much a reset to 1970. The British and French even worked together to get the Concorde into the air four years before the UK joined the EEC! Where there's a will there's way - or there used to be. Self-pitying back. I'm sick of this SOS every year. This is the last time I'll waste time.

Your so-called facts are rather a joke. Your assumptions about who my heroes and what I "created" are are quite wrong. So, here we go again. May never got the opportunity to sign "her" deal - that was the only good thing to emerge from the whole (incomplete) mess of a dubious process. Boris was full of bull shine and bluster: his affable nature calmed many down for a while but we can see, now, that he was far from heroic, with that act. Boris's "oven-ready" deal was in fact a weak tweak of May's Chequers Agreement, which emerged suddenly, just after she flitted off to Germany at some insultingly ungodly hour to see her Mutti in Berlin. I believe this shows us who had the real power over the EU and also the weakness and gullibility of the UK governments of the day. My "side" did not get what it wanted, which was a reset back to pre EU status. There were few conditions prior to joining (bar de Gaulle, mainly) but seemingly thousands of the buggers when it was exit time. I didn't create any situation - the EEC/EU was allowed to morph into a foul political cesspool over time.

Sad emoji badly needed here.

If you think that list of made-up rubbish equated to logic or truth, then that makes you the child. Or were you being sarcastic?

Your comment is tosh. It was plain to see that the PM, most of her cabinet, along with the Civil Service, dithered, dallied and made all best efforts to stop the UK leaving the EU. They only succeeded in part but the result is the dog's dinner we still have to eat now.

Standard issue libhurt ballerks.

We haff vays and meanz off making you kute!

Sad story. It looks like the real monsters are those who abandoned the baby. Quite a lot monitors in and near what's left of the mangroves in Samut Prakan.

Yes. The Thai style of communal digging in at dinner did add to the transmission problem here.
