    Is it time yet?

    ….to bring back large pools of joint military capability into Germany and Poland, essentially mimicking the Cold War plot we had back then? The historical effort was to have troops in place to deter or ‘handle’ a Soviet invasion. It didn’t happen so we pulled out. Now it’s happening so we...

    P8 eyy?

    Canada buys P8! Up to 16…although they also want to shave £1bn+ off their defence budget so watch this space. Great opportunity for those who want to emigrate who are also UK P8 qualified and should make landing away from Home plate and breaking down easier with agreements in place...

    Court Martial: Soldiers Behind Bars

    Latest C5 fly on the wall programme goes inside MCTC Colchester. Only watched most of one episode which confirms what I’ve always heard about the place, that they work them had but treat them fair however, WTF is the bloke with the ridiculous moustache wearing on the uniform? It looks like a...

    Indian’s Reach the Moon but….

    Over 230 million of their population are assessed in multi-dimensional poverty, the infant mortality rate is 64 in 1000 births, 2.8M cases of TB a year, child trafficking, corruption and sexual attacks rife in populous areas… But what was more important, aside from the above and huge amounts of...

    UK or Abroad

    I live in what is considered one of the most popular holiday spots in the UK. The UK really sucks right now for a holiday as it's like Autumn in August and a pint costs around £6.50 here and £20 wouldn't buy you 4 decent ice creams. If you had the foresight to holiday here in mid to late June...

    Announcement delayed

    Read about it here. Could just be the ineptness of Whitehall staffers, or the fact we are feeding someone else’s war with ammunition and kit that was never budgeted for… What’s top of your list to go then?

    Herc Gone

    But still being debated here Thoughts? Were they managed in such a way towards the end that they could have extended or ran, metaphorically, into the ground?

    HS2 Required or a Potential Saving?

    Since the pandemic workers appetite to travel to work has reduced, especially after the following cost of living and fuel issues. My offices run, at best, at 50% of historical occupancy, and that’s only Tuesday through Thursday. Monday and Friday are write-offs. I hear that many NHS offices are...

    TV Coverage of the Queen’s Passing

    Maybe I’m left of centre on this topic, but I think it’s being over-covered. I may vomit blood if I accidentally watch anymore reporters finding more and more members of the public who caught a glimpse of the queen 30 years ago and embellish it into a story with meaning.,,then have the reporter...

    Disruption?

    I reckon the amount of arse-custard released via MSM HD as been greater than usual for the train Strike…just been driving around the Southern half of the country since Monday and the roads have been marvellously flowing. Perhaps the militants under-estimated the effect of 80% of the working...

    Jubilee - Much Interest in your Area?

    I can remember the Silver Jubilee as a kid. Most every area/estate in my town had a street party. Food, sports days and game followed by music and drunken Dad-dancing in the street. I looked at an article that listed applications to close streets for a party and in my town there was one…for a...

    Another senseless US School Shooting

    Texas...at time of typing 19 kids aged 7-10 years old and a couple of teachers got slaughtered by an 18 year old. Quick look at the Beeb news page on this topic and there's a US politician of some sort stating that its not the guns that are doing the killing, its the felons holding them so...

    Anyone taken in any Ukrainians?

    Just wondered? Hearing from an associate over the weekend, they were dead set on taking in a mother and her daughter, but red tape and finances got in the way... First off if the kid is 14+ they have to have their own room (they could be sleeping in a shell hole or dirty train station right...

    Recession Inbound

    One is coming...and it looks like it might be worse than any of us have seen in our lifetimes. The BoE has reached for its well thumbed playbook and started to pick up the pace of raising the interest rate. This is designed to reduce the amount of spare cash we have to spend, meaning we buy...

    Who's a Fat B@stard?

    OK I might have enoyed the festive pigging season a little too much...and now I'm starting the pain of watching what I eat and the gym. Who's with me?
