As far as I know they are not training bootnecks to drive these things so back to square one - where will they find the RN crews? About the only thing that's likely to drive up recruiting now as a conflict - maybe in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf - which gets the lads and lasses out of Wetherspoons an...

As they bid farewell to Nigeria, Meghan declared: “I can’t wait to come back!

Let's see how long the friendship lasts with her new 'besties' or before she returns for another visit.

It's a good place to go to if he ever has to leave the States after the drugs claims he's made - after all 'East, West, home's best' and they could live in Nigeria in great style.

Every time there’s a meteor shower or chance of an aurora it clouds over here!

What's the First Rule? - No Headwinds!

They are going to have to go a long way up the west coast of Greenland to find a 300 mile crossing - Sisimiut-Qikiqtarjuaq?

OMG! What next!

We used to watch TVNZ and/or Newshub at 6 pm. The blatant left wing bias shown by the political reporters beggars belief. Every news story about the Government has an angle carefully worked out to criticise them. I think that some of the things they have done have been pretty badly handled but they ...

Thank God we have Capita to guard against white, privileged blokes like this from joining! Computer says no. What a bloody shambles. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/09/navy-turning-away-people-ready-to-fight-for-britain/ There are young officers passing out at the parade, ranking from midsh...

Nobody could have seen this coming - there's no wind and an icy southerly drift - leading to very cold temperatures overnight - and then the windmills don't turn! Well who'd have guessed? Hopefully this project can be up and working before there are many more embarrassments, but they're not even st...

No wind power for a while. That's something Shetland has plenty of too!

It might be the latest in the 'Boys from Lagos' scams!!

Shortly after his last quick trip to London, Harry told “Good Morning America” that he thought his father’s illness could help bring his family closer. As long as Daddy publicly apologises for treating Meggypoos and Harrypoos so badly... The illness also brings the chances of a significant will and...

Good old 'Depressing Journal' - that's not a Bristow aircraft in the photo is it? Well before I flew with Bristow one man was in control - the stories about him are legendary - but there was a fierce loyalty amongst his employees. When I joined there was a faceless board of directors as AB had sold ...

I wonder if there were ever any problems with FENZ pay issues before Datacom were asked to 'improve' the system. Why did PSe give notice? If Datacom failed to provide what it was asked to do, can the Government (aka taxpayers) recoup any of its outlay? Did Datacom ever get to a contract stage? (-| D...
