That's why I'm waiting outside in my car until you leave.

At zero dark thirty when going to an ATM for an "emergency" withdrawal, I don't go in if I see more than one person (and sometimes don't enter with even one). I wait in the safety of my vehicle until they leave. It doesn't matter how they are dressed or their political/social views (though I...

Additional to above. https://lethbridgeherald.com/news/lethbridge-news/2025/12/19/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-ryan-tanners-phone-number/ Even if it is a bogus recall petition, there may not be a lot that the Election Commissioner can do about it. While he does have authority to investigate...

Has something changed? Individuals who access "Protected B" information needed only "Reliability Status". Of course other caveats apply depending on the physical location or IT system that the individual may need to access to perform their job...

If I was to write a lexicon of nicknames for army equipment, I would title it "Housewives and Horsec**ks". DON'T GOOGLE IT! While nobody has copyrighted it for that subject, those two words together gets a lot of hits.

What's the confusion? They can hate both. Though they may be confused why people are calling soccer "football".

Reflecting back more than half a century to when I did Driver Wheeled as an already licensed driver, there was not much repetition of the basics I learned in operating a civilian car. Besides the DDC and Safe Backing, most of the time was spent on "military driving" - those important lessons...

Same ship, same port, different day. Seems that Ardrossan is not the easiest port to get into when there is any sort of weather. From a comment on a page about CalMac ferries and weather, ". . . It was one of those days when the Captain advises you “stay seated” as she makes the right turn...
