Re: Israeli/Iran Conflict

Hi Arnie, everyone, it certainly seems that our (Western) high-tech weapons are superior to those of our opponents. But they also cost a thousand times more to produce ! The news recently reported that the Huti's were attacking ships with drones costing 2000 pounds and British ships were shooting th...

Re: Israeli/Iran Conflict

John, this, in my opinion, gives Russia every right to attack any factory producing military hardware anywhere in the UK and beyond. Not to mention the transport of such munitions anywhere along their route. If l were a Russian tactician, l would also be planning to sink ships crossing the atlantic ...

Re: Israeli/Iran Conflict

Arnie, John L, and all, well we can certainly agree on the last couple of posts. ln England the Prime Minister is so unpopular that there's a serious danger that he could loose the upcomming election. And even though he makes the usual mistakes of a Conservative Leader, allowing the super rich to be...

Re: Raising Money for the Regimental Museum

How sad, all that on offer and still no high speed trains to get northeners down South to enjoy all the fun. You's couldn't afford the train ticket anyway ! Not to worry, they'll be recruiting again soon, then the government will remember that there are counties and cities beyond Birmingham. And new...

Re: Israeli/Iran Conflict

Arnie, & all, Sir Winston Churchill said: "History will be kind to me, because l intend to write it". Rather well put and oh so true ! So it is almost pointless us going back a thousand years and more and discussing what might have been, based upon known history; because the winner of ...

Re: Israeli/Iran Conflict

Hi Arnie & all, l do not doubt or dispute your knowledge of the recent history of the region. But the poor Arab tribesmen of the previous couple of centuries, which we Europeans have always persecuted, are now some of the richest countries/ peoples in the world. Their open hatred of us lnfidels ...

Re: Switch on = switch it off ...

There have been a few good attempts at fun ad's, but the PC Brigade get them banned. If it ain't foreign, queer or disabled they won't allow it. One could be forgiven for thinking there aren't any white, hetro, healthy europeans left in Western Europe. So l guess you guys, being as far away as possi...

Hi Arnie, 'mmm, computer eh, therein lays my weakness ! I'm up to watching things on utube, but they also have adverts, shorter but more frequently and then in Spanish. l have found a few old favoirites like 'Only fools and Horses', Porridge, Les Dawson, Bernard Manning, Billy Connolley and they mak...
