Does anyone know when we even start to feel like a grow up? I’m sure I’ll look back at my 40s and wince.

Ah I see. Yep. And it’s easier to see it as you get older.

Didn’t want to miss out on the chance to diss myself though. I was as dumb as a rock back then. And in many ways, still am.

Er no. My progeny is a decade ahead of where I was at his age. Smarter and more self assured and stable.

He’s not dumber. But I’ve realised I am.

Lots of lead shielding and warning signs to anyone coming from any direction other than the bunker door.

One very large and just-subcritical block of something with a long half life and just seconds of fatal exposure, between that and the door.

I have a passport, driving licence in addition to other info necessary for applying for a job eg NI number.

Why do I need an ID? I bet there’d be some charge for it too. No. On principle no. He can get fucked.

It’s at the point now where it really doesn’t matter what Trump says, and it baffles me the the media hang on his words… because it’s all a regurgitated word salad and he’s entirely in the moment with no filter. He’s a liability in so many ways.

What he and his administration does, matters much more than what he says.

Well then the court will progress to asset seizure if he doesn’t pay. He doesn’t really need that Scottish golf course, perhaps it could be turned into a public park - or perhaps a country retreat for traumatised US citizens seeking asylum.

I can’t tell if this is satire or real anymore.

Agreed. And hopefully our man Kier can stop cosplaying long enough to follow through on more military support.

You summed this up perfectly. Absolutely spot on.

Tsar right to know if he’s compromised.

Let’s maybe not call it the final solution.

I agree with you but UKR may not have the luxury of triaging a bunch of people into non combat roles, and with regard to reaction under fire, I don’t think anyone really knows how they’re going to react in that situation until they’re in it. Even volunteers.

I’m not and never have been military, just my £0.02.

You almost made me snort peas.

Ok flame away, as clearly I’m going to be downvoted to oblivion or banned, but:

I read just now on the BBC that most of the casualties were due not to gunfire, as all the posts suggest, but to the aid Lorries driving over people in what seems like scenes of chaos and probable panic… and this is from a news outlet that leans to the left.

I’m not pro Hamas or IDF but I feel like (deserved or not), if what the Beeb say is true, then we’re allowing ourselves to get carried away here.
