Re: Chaos in Germany
This weekend's Financial Times has an article on the surge in recruitment of former technicians and engineers specialising in nuclear power generation - thousands are needed - as many countries revive plans to build new generators of clean power . All except one European country of course, sufferin...

The 'West' i.e. the USA, has not won a war since they had the USSR was on their side in WWII.Fox3WheresMyBanana wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 8:30 amThe West has been in this "nonsense situation", where the political control forbids the winning of wars, since the Iraq fiasco in 2003.

Re: My first car
I was somewhat amused some decades ago when we visited a certain consulate in London, UK. They offered to have someone drive us in the 'big car' to Brize Norton and it had to be the 'big car' as there were three of us plus the transport officer and a driver. We needed the driver as the transport off...

Re: My first car
Austin A35, not my first car. Bought it in Sydney for $40 and drove it down to Melbourne where I met up with a girl who was waiting to hear about a job in Townsville so we drove north and continued on as far as Cooktown then back to Townsville where she was to meet her employers. One of the Townsvil...

Riley '2 and a half'. It had been a very nice car but it was rather sad when it came in to my hands.

Re: Chaos in USA
I do not recall such excitement when we had an eclipse! It was on a Saturday which is museum workshop day so we had a lot of people there, we hung up a white sheet and shut the big doors. With everyone inside it was easy to maneuver the sheet to catch a beam coming through a convenient nail hole giv...

Re: A grave mistake
Any more random, incongruous comments that avoid the central problem of the Hamas atrocities on Oct 7th? Happenings of Oct 7 are now in history regrettable though they may be. However the extermination of the non-Jews in Israel is an on-going matter and any whataboutery involving Oct 7 is incredibl...

Re: A grave mistake
I think the throwing babies out of incubators accusation was rescinded quite quickly, probably when the claimants realised there were such claims in every war, by all sides, dating back to the invention of incubators. I recall it in Kuwait in 1990. There's no shortage of evidence of the first two, ...

Re: A grave mistake
You may recall I considered the Invasion of Iraq and the continued occupation of Afghanistan completely unjustifiable, as did the UNSG with Iraq, and that I now live in a country which refused to join the Iraq invasion, and withdrew from the 'Stan when its initial peacekeeping stint was done. I wen...
