I remember when the police used Hillman Imps ; If I needed them in a hurry , I’d rather they were in a Volvo or a Discovery ! LOL ! Cheers.

I think it needs to be taken in context, mate. Until recently Man U have been almost certainties to be in the top four, whereas until fairly recently Newcastle have been relegated twice and perennial struggler’s. So a top six finish for Newcastle will be considered progress for Newcastle , but a finish outside the top four for Man U will be considered failure. Its going to be very close between Man U , Newcastle, West Ham, (who have played one game more)and Chelsea , (who have played one game less). Newcastle have a far better goal difference than the others and appear, on pap

Difference is I accept that Howe knows far more about football than I’ll ever know, I’m just a supporter. Slightly off topic, but not by much; yesterday my missus had a chat with Amanda Staveley while she waited for me to pick her up. I was gutted that I did not meet her, but probably just as well as I would have made a fool of myself congratulating her on what her and her partners have done for Newcastle and how she’s running rings around Mike Ashley ! Cheers.

Yes, of course. I was just really suggesting a first team, as much as I think Miley and Anderson are great prospects they would be understudies to the midfield I mentioned. Cheets.

What do you think of this for next season, just utilising what we already have ; Pope ( Dubravka). Trippier, ( Livramento) , Schar, Botman, Hall, (Burn). Tonali, Bruno, Joelinton. Barnes , Isak, Gordon. Buy a centre back, a defensive midfielder, and a centre forward, bring in those two young lads that are loaned out in Europe and I’d be happy. Cheers. Cheers.

Seeing a big buck sail over a hedge in full flight is some sight ! It opened my eyes ! Cheers.

I see more and more of them each year; they were released at a site just across the river from me and they must be breeding very successfully. The local pub there has even changed its name to “The Red Kite”. Cheers.

I agree, we can’t post or discuss hunting now because because of the draconian punishments. I, too, have met and made a lot of friends on here, I wasn’t having a go at anyone, just giving my opinion on how these open hunting forums are hamstrung by the law, and how WhatsApp groups are safer, ( for now), for us to discuss our sport. Cheers.

These are proxy wars mate, America wont get directly involved until it absolutely has to. Iran hasn’t got the capacity to launch hundreds of missiles every night but America will supply as many Patriot systems as Isreal needs for the Iron Shield , and has been said earlier, Isreal always has the ultimate deterrent and would use in in the face of an existential threat. Isreal took out the Iranian nuclear facility once before, putting their nuclear program back years, and would probably do it again. Im certainly no military strategist and haven’t a clue how this will pan out but I

Over 330 ballistic missiles and drones launched; only 7 got through and injured one little girl ! Iron Dome seems very effective and evidently us the Americans , Jordanians and the Saudis shot down missiles fired by the Houthi in Yemen that didn’t make it as far as Isreal. Cheers.

Its not technology, it’s attitudes and laws. The Hunting Act ruined open hunting forums like this, what’s the point of posting hunting stories and pictures if it will attract arrest and prosecution? Im on a couple of WhatsApp groups that have a dozen or so members who can post what we want and there’s none of the arguments and nonsense that you get on open forums. Its a shame that the general section attracts far more discussion than the lurcher section, but there’s probably more members on here now who are more interested in football, politics, conspiracies, etc than are interest

Looks like a slow worm to me, Ray . Easy to find out; pick it up by its tail; if it sheds its tail, it’s a slow worm…if it bites you, it’s a snake ! LOL ! Cheers.

Spellchecks a bitch, ain’t it ? Especially if you don’t check the spellcheck. Cheers.

A strange anomaly in the rules, well, for us football types at least; If Bruno gets ONE yellow card playing for Newcastle on Saturday, it will result in a TWO game ban….if he gets TWO yellow cards, he will get a ONE game ban !! Its all to do with the “yellow card totting up rule”, which reaches the cutting off point on Saturday for Newcastle. So, theoretically, if he gets one yellow on Saturday, he’d be better off deliberately getting a second in the dying minutes of the game by cheating; time wasting, kicking the ball away, taking his shirt off, etc, ! Mad , ehh ??? C

“And when mC saw the length of the slip, he wept, as there was no more slop to conquer…..” ( Apologies to Alexander). Cheers.

No, I looked for them but nothing I can see. If you Google vintage marmalade jars there’s some for sale. Cheers.

A few more I’ve got at the allotment, various shapes and sizes; Cheers.

I’m just surprised anyone is surprised by the results. It didn’t need a poll or investigation to see this, it’s on the news every day, Blair started this with his “multiculturalism “ and now the politicians are too scared of being call “racist” or “islamiphobic” to do anything about it. Cheers.

How were the occupation force going to be resupplied ? They couldn’t have brought enough with them to withstand a siege/ stalemate situation , they were looting houses and shops for food. I didn’t think Conqueror was singly conclusive, I thought it was the single incident that convinced the Argies that we were there to win, the mood change in both countries, indeed around the world, at the time was palpable. Thatches gamble to sink a ship outside the 200 mile excision zone worked, it showed negotiations were off the table. Im not a military strategist, I’m just going by what I s

Of course the war was multi faceted but sinking the Belgrano showed we were not afraid to use everything at our disposal including nuclear powered subs if necessary. The Vulcan raid was in the same vein, it told the Argentinians that we could bomb their mainland if we wanted to. Our land forces showed a professionalism way above the enemy. All the elements came together but I still say the sinking of the Belgrano was the decisive action that turned the war. I don’t believe the Argies could just sit it out, they couldn’t be resupplied because of our naval presence and our l

Just like we didnt get involved in the Viet Nam War , even though the yanks asked us to. We didn’t ask the yanks to get involved in the Falklands. As soon as Thatcher ordered HMS Conqueror into action, that was game, set and match, we didn’t need any help. Cheers.

New Zealand is also a member of “The Five Eyes” treaty, along with the UK, the US , Canada and Australia. Three of which are NATO members, two aren’t, but I’ve no doubt the would all act in the defence of each other. Cheers.

Mon plaisir, mon ami . Bon chance.

New Zealand isn’t a member of NATO . NATO members would probably get involved but not under the auspices of the NATO treaty. Just do some basic research , it’s all there on Google ! LOL ! Cheers,

The simple answer is that the NATO treaty is only applicable in the northern hemisphere, north of the Tropic of Cancer. The UK couldn’t invoke Article Five as it didn’t apply . Also , we didn’t need any help. The Argentinians had French Exocet missile before the war and the “fact” that France kept supplying them during the war had been debunked. America offered us the use of one of their aircraft carriers in the event of our Through Deck Cruiser, HMS Invincible, being sunk. Cheers.
