Except its not ancient history. The Most recent genocides are . China .... the Mao times,the Japanese before that the Nazis, the Pot Pot Cambodia, the attempts in Bosnia etc, the Rwanda , and if you think the English are immune , look at India, Australia and the hunting for sport of...

NOT FACT... Evidence is desirable in the real world.

.. forgot about them , I liked the look. Did they call them Shooting Breaks?

"Fecking English caused potato famine..". No not at all, a fungus did that. What the British Ruling class was prevent aid. Ireland was producing plenty of wheat, oats, beef, butter during those years but that same class insisted it be exported to the UK, so the profits would build them fancy...

We used to have wooden decks on ships .. including aircraft carriers, and in the structure of motor cars .. the Triumphs as I recall and in railway carriages. However all areas moved to steel because the damage that splintered wood causes in a collision. The failure mode is is predictable...

Ho dear, letting facts get in the way of a good rant .? 1. It is always interesting that the party who inflicted the damage , is always the one who says "let bygones be bygones ". Just like last weeks Republican GoP saying we need to bring the nation together ,so no impeachment. So lets just...

Did I mention China?. Your jingoism is showing

..And he succeeded . Your ruling class are still Normans. The Harrowing of the North,is something you might read up on. Basically there are very few Brits left ..and they are in Wales. If you think 1840 is a long time ago, why do you have a Nelsons Column, A Wellington Monument, a statue of...

Whenever I gave blood.. I was expected to hang around for the 20 minutes , now the tea and crisps were the hooks to keep me there. Unfortunately my blood sucking days are over as the cocktail of Statins, Anti Coagulants and blood pressure pills keep me on the sidelines. So I will have to go...

Woosh, the point we disagree on is the inclusion of "anymore"

Of course disturbing.. but all real medications are double edged and anything can drive an elderly person with preconditions over the edge. Eg. solpadiene generally viewed as not a particularly strong analgesic, can have the unfortunate effect of paralyzing the gut, and may require surgical...

What you are describing is usually thrush... My son will get it often after his cocktails of antibiotics

I am with fecc on this topic. The 15mph or 25km.hr in my country is a very sensible middle ground. You might be unpleasantly surprised as to how quickly the battery will deteriorate or deplete at 20mph. Moreover your reaction times do not get faster nor does the braking distance decrease ...

The following is a true story and is the danger of the inappropriate choice of helmet. It was relayed to me by a guy I met at an Inn , about 18 months ago. He was part of a group of serious cyclists travelling from Dublin to Belfast ,on what was a very standard Maracycle event .. thousands...
