Well I’m sure that there was a plan, put together by some very very brilliant people…..and then we have this. Which group of people does it look like won the argument as to which plan to go with?

Both would put lead in your pencil….

Even with them around we still had 2 Gypsies come up to us separately asking for money. Dealt with them enough back in the day when I lived in Prague. Had no time for them then and I had less now.

Not sure if it’s related to what’s going on right now in Iran but I’m here in Toulouse waiting for my train to Montpellier and there are two groups of 5 armed soldiers patrolling the station. They walk 2 abreast, spaced apart, a lone fellow walking center and then two abreast spaced apart...

Yup, Monday will be a lovely day.

I hope that he’s able to refrain from it for as long as he’s PM.

I, for some reason, still have a landline and a still have an old fashion phone available, as well as cordless phones, in the event of a power outage ill still have a working phone. I also still have two functioning ‘hurricane oil lamps’ that were my grandparents in case of prolonged power...

Having a reserve built in the needs of the EC might make sense since this is the area most likely impacted by the slowdown of oil imports.

Pull on this thread looking for the worst possible outcome. The US/Israel destroys on the ports and/or the fishing fleets (which number about 11,500 vessels) and as a result 1.5 million tons of seafood produced annually collapses. What does that do to the nutrition of all those Iranians...

The longer the FM, the longer the pain obviously. For Trump its now coming down to strictly dollars and cents - the classic 'cost vs benefit' analysis. The higher the dollar cost the greater the risk of 'losing' his Gulf State buddies as their risk of civil unrest spikes higher. He's bombed...

Dude, its Brazil - at least 50% of the timeline was spent just agreeing on the number of hours worked in a day and if the new company would sponsor the local football team.

Especially if you release a few pics of the whole team eating at Hooters or better yet, enjoying the 'ballet' in the cities they're playing in, with the odd lap dance pics added in for good measure.......

Can I ask a question about what you described above? Based on my limited knowledge of the education level of the 'average Taliban', who were these individuals who were able to see the new issue presented to them by your counter moves, assess those moves, come up with a working solution and...
