I actually studied the “walnut “ bit, and evidently they flogged the trunks of walnut trees with chains to make the sap rise and increase the productivity of nuts . Just another THL random factoid !

I'm forever quoting shit I've just learned to bored, long suffering audiences. I know this to be true because they either slink off as soon as they see me or suddenly remember an appointment when I appear. Their loss, I'm full of wisdom. I will not deviate from my life's mission: bore or die trying. Edited January 22 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Soni found it a bit difficult to not challenge the narrative that all we sent was the fish police. Heres a proper warfighting frigate in close proximity as recently as yesterday. I always find it weird that the Merlin is still operational after nearly 40 years. Last I heard Lockheed were doing refits and upgrades on them. 40 years is a long time for a helicopter to remain in service when there are much better options available nowadays for the same tasks. On the other note.... Imagine a 300ft nuclear sub just popping up next to ya lol, you'd shit yourself! "Sorry mate I took a wrong turn... is this the ring road?"

His piercing judgement and unrivalled military knowledge will surely provide a definitive judgement. He's a man who comes to any intelligent discussion armed with a deeply held uninformed opinion. Between MC, Goly and Scotty they could build the starship Enterprise and take on the Klingons Edited January 22 by mushroom 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was talking to my missus today, ( we often talk even after 48 years of marriage), and I said I wished we had Google and Wikipedia and the like when I was studying, I would be a retired Professor Emiritus now . I wouldn’t have had to explain my calculations in the margin of my test papers, I could have copied and pasted technical drawings instead of painstakingly doing them with a pencil and ruler. AI could have written my thesis for me, instead of me trying to explain the invention and development of the two stroke and four stroke internal combustion engine to Luddites who still preferred horse drawn ploughs. But , hey, I’m happy with my lot, and the verbal sword play with fellow members on here . Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
