  1. By “going backwards”, I mean this season. The Howe/Saudi era is a massive improvement from the Bruce/Ashley era, but the Saudis had a “five year plan, we are 3-4 years into it and two objectives have been reached ; qualifying for the Champions League and winning a trophy, the League Cup, but the tailing off of this season is seen as, if not exactly a step backwards, a disappointment and not where we hoped to be. Personally, I’d keep Howe, as would the majority of fans, talk of getting rid of him is, in my mind, media driven Cheers.
  2. He’s on WhatsApp to me from the final whistle Fair play to Sunderland , they deserved it , that’s the end of Newcastles season and maybe Howe, as the team is going backwards , they are now a first half team , they fall to bits in the second half. The forwards he bought, Waldermort and Wissa cost about £145,000,000 and are useless. Howe has tried to make Waldermort another Joelinton, moving him to midfield but it hasn’t worked, and he won’t even play Wissa. We are stuck with them now, or sell them at a massive loss and try again. Not a happy time in thee Toon….. Cheers
  3. I’m just going by my experience, I’ll spray weeds , when they die , I turn the ground over and plant, and usually have great results with my veg. Thing is, I spray the weeds leaves, not the soil. The weed killer is ingested by the leaves, much like foliar fertiliser spraying and taken to the roots. Of course there will be some over spray that goes on to the soil, but presumably not enough to worry about. Cheers.
  4. Most commercial weed killer degrades quickly. It will kill existing weeds but not new weeds or new plants. I use a type that is safe after 6 hours as I have poultry and dogs on my allotments. Cheers.
  5. I tend to agree with Senator Hiram Johnson’s observation; “The first casualty of war is the truth “. ( I know an Ancient Greek philosopher supposedly said it first but in this scenario I’ve quoted an American ). Cheers.
  6. Bruce Lee was supposed to take the lead part in Kung Fu but the producers said he looked “too Chinese” so gave the part to Carradine Cheers.
  7. Just breaking now; Iran has fired two intermediate missiles at Diego Garcia and one missile failed and one shot down by a US ship in the Indian Ocean. Cheers.
  8. It can’t have been that good if the plane landed safely and even the Chinese are saying it wasn’t a direct hit and only had minor damage. Looks like someone got lucky. That video is nonsense, it’s says it was put out by the IRNG, the opening sequence has no relation whatsoever with the rest of the video which are just stock videos of an F35 showing off manoeuvres and taking off from a carrier. Cheets.
  9. What am I missing ? That video doesn’t say anything you are saying . The opening sequence looks like a direct hit, no way that plane was going anywhere but down , AI ? The rest are just stock photo’s. Cheers.
  10. Where’s the quote source, I can’t find it, just the SCP article that is only speculation and says it can’t have been a direct hit. Cheers.
  11. Are you quoting The South China Post article ? They are saying it’s pure speculation and it couldn’t have been a direct hit as the aircraft only sustained, in their words, “minor damage”. If not, what is your source? Cheers.
  12. Air to air ? Be interesting to see what aircraft fired it and how the F35’s multiple defences weren’t activated. Cheers.
  13. I don’t think the F35 was hit by an Iranian airplane, they’ve all been destroyed It was probably hit by a SAM, but that’s just conjecture on my part. Id say the Iranian SAM’s are probably on a par with Americas, they have the latest Russian types and home made similar types. For the F35 to have made it to a friendly base and land safely, I’d guess that the damage may have been caused by shrapnel or debris from a SAM that had been detonated by the F35’s missile counter-measures, it certainly wasn’t a direct hit. Im replying out of curtesy, but I know you won’t except my opi
  14. The navy isn’t hiding 500 miles away mate . Have you not heard of “Over The Horizon “, (OTH), armaments ? High velocity , cruise type missiles launched from sea, beyond the radar horizon of the enemy , while being far enough away to have time to locate and launch countermeasures against incoming threats. Cheers.
  15. Not wanting to be pedantic , mate but the Iranians arn’t Arabs, they are Aryans and most Arabs hate them. Cheers.
  16. I watched his interview on GBNews and he said we have land borders and I stopped illegal immigration completely, Britain is an island , why can’t you stop it? He said the EU fined them 100,000,000 euros and 1,000,000 euros a day because they won’t take illegal immigrants from other EU countries , but he won’t give in. Cheers.
  17. bonnie tyler hero - Google Search Cheers.
  18. Back in the Earl 70’s our local Working Man’s Club would have movie night once a week. All us young’uns would go and get full of drink watching what was almost always a Kung Fu movie. We would come rolling out and, as Carl Douglas would say; “ everybody was kung fu fighting Cheers.
  19. People of my age grew up watching and trying to emulate him…..a legend. R.I.P.
  20. Neither is the one in the glasses Cheers.
  21. Breaking news; two people arrested trying to break into nuclear base in Scotland. Cheers.
  22. A President who says it as it is; or a Prime Minister who lies to us and won’t answer a question……..I know who I prefer Cheers.
  23. I honestly thought we shaded it in the first half until the penalty, I didn’t foresee the collapse of the second half. And you’re right, I’m happy where we are just now. I was told a fact I had no idea of; Newcastle have played more matches this season than any team in the top five European leagues, by dint of their runs in the League Cup, FA Cup and Europe, so things aren’t as bad as they may seem. My nephew and his mates called me last night from Spain and were in high spirits , I asked him to bring something back to do with Lamine Yamal , my grandsons favourite player, but I’
  24. Just watched it. At 2-2 I had a bit of hope, but the Barca penalty well into first half stoppage time seems to have knocked the stuffing out of us and we just fell to pieces in the second half. No excuses, but need to regroup for Sunderland on Sunday . Cheers.
