Procrastination!!. Never do today what can be put off until tomorrow

Possibly the shop. When I went to Lisburn ,outside Belfast, the shop keeper was delighted to let me have an extended go around a local car park. And at the time his prices were at a serious discount compared with mainline distributors. If you had say arrived by car, you could hand over the...

Sounds like Rex Harrisons Camelot

..and that in a nutshell is the Chinese approach to the Occidental world.

That is fair comment , but then I have not advocated the Singapore method of governance, or the USAs or the UKs .. A colleague of mine, a once senior academic in EAST GERMANY when it was DDR, had scathing comments about the New Germany post reunification Now I do wonder how a brow beaten...

I suspect the Chinese are correct in their approach. The West did not kill thousands in Afghanistan ..it was Hundreds of thousands.

Well since my car is now 1O , it is effectively second hand ... or 3 rd hand.

I understand that these are the arsenal they provided the Afghan national army with. Now there will no doubt be plenty of ammunition to service these weapons. Moreover the Afghan Army is now a well trained army, and will obviously become the bulk of the new Taliban controlled National Army...

In fairness to the RAF ,they were flying missions into Kabul as late as yesterday evening. At present the only aircraft are US the Flight Radar app is a mine of information

That 95% protection from vaccination was not nonsensical at the time.. unfortunately the virus had not read the scientific papers.

I will assume that tongue is firmly wedged against side of mouth.. but fortunately we don't need to go to those limits yet. Decimal point notwithstanding. The plume of emitted particles is much denser in the near field with Delta , but the spatial distribution is similar .. a spherical...

I hope she recovers. I was doing some mental arithmetic regarding this Delta variant, and the conclusion is worrying. When the original or Wuhan variant emerged, the general advice was that any 15 minute encounter between two unmasked persons, one infected ,the other not, at a distance of...

I agree flecc.. and ironically enough,it is the existence of untreatable disease which makes marriage a natural fit.
