  1. In 250 years you’ve managed to get pretty extreme :) Interestingly, last night we were watching a Second World War documentary. Globalisation has been rather a short lived experiment. (although this analysis was made after quite a few whisky’s).
  2. Help him out a window or donate radioactive underwear?
  3. Trump is nasty and malicious. I’d say the odds of Trump removing his citizenship are greater than 50%. Elon can be deported and I’m not sure his money would stop it - he wouldn’t be sent to El Salvador though
  4. I detest Musk, but having 2 parties drives extremism and I believe it would be best to have some competition in the mix

    Trump

    Don’t regret your oath. You put your life on the line for the people and country you love and cherish. I’m not going to pretend that I think it will come right, but I hope that you’ll find peace and a way forward in the country you now live in.

    Trump

    https://spookyconnections.com/2024/10/19/donald-trump/ This is a fascinating read about Trump.
  7. Torn rotator cuff and tendons, broken orbital, torn bicep, broken at the elbow as well. All on my dominant hand so lots of fun and 4 months of no driving so far. Who’d have thought my worst injury after 30 years of motorbikes and skydiving would be in my house :) Long story short it was like a scene from Monty python. Son went into psychosis and attacked me. Sitting on my back and punching the hell out of me, and screaming it’s just a bruise you pussy. He had no idea or recollection afterwards. Getting this tattoo over the scar :)
  8. Interesting article Wendy. I think we’re at a pivotal moment in history and I agree Trump is just a chess piece rather than the central figure. US influence on the world is weakening and I think most countries are looking to diversify their alliances and trading away from the US. Unfortunately, I think it’s going to bring tough changes for the US, probably more than for the rest of us. I just hope the US doesn’t lash out militarily as a last gasp at holding onto their power and influence.
  9. Definitely top of the list if I can. At this point I can only just do an Elon Salute, and not looking like I’ll be able to get full range of motion on my arm.
  10. You’ll need your MAGA registration card for tax breaks.
  11. Earlier this year I got injured and skydiving is probably out of the question for me going forward. I recently got a drone to play with - it’s load’s of fun but not the same as being in the air.
  12. Not sure if others have found this, but we’ve been rediscovering old recipes and it just struck me how cheap some of the old staples are. My son does a great spaghetti bolognaise. We’ve had the news covered extensively by the triple mushroom murderer. She made Beef Wellington with death cap mushrooms. Unfortunately that means every day the news has a great looking picture. End result I made one yesterday. Today used up the excess pastry to make Cornish pasties (I miss the Cornish Pasty shop at Marylebone station). It struck me how cheap they are to make (carrot, turnip, potato and steak). Despite the Aussie claim to have the best pies, as with Vegemite they are kidding themselves. Melton Melbury pork pies, steak and Guinness pies, Cornish pasties are hard to beat.
  13. https://youtu.be/KYV7KWQ-fY4?si=ClsgpNOp5-Nd-hxe This is one of my favourite videos on this topic, a true timeless classic.

    And now

    Every now and again I agree with Trump. His statement “They’ve been fighting for so long, they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” was spot on. Now you should deport him to El Salvador for being a Palestinian sympathiser.
