Ropey grasp of history. The English sent warships to takeover a civilian trading post. As a direct result the second Anglo Dutch war started - in which the Dutch trounced us - including a raid on our main naval base at Chatham when they sank or stole 15 ships - including the Navy's flagship. We sued for peace and in exchange for New Amsterdam the Dutch got Surinam - which was much bigger and far more valuable.

34, pretty good for an old git (though not senile old like Toke's brain)

Thats exactly it. Divisive policies in a divided country where anybody can order a rifle through mail order and low security levels = dead President. You don't need to go hunting for fantastic storylines. I stayed in the Washington DC Hilton a few weeks ago, where Reagan was shot by another disaffected mentally ill loner. Why don't people say that was a conspiracy? because he didnt die?

Bazza I don't believe the conspiracy guff so am not really interested in debating the ins and outs. The conspiracy theories are usually so convoluted, improbable and impossible to pull off that the truth is mundane by comparison.

What sort of information? He worked at the book repository and the visit of the President was well publicised. This is 1963 remember - sure all lines of sight would be checked by the police now and no senior figure would go around in a convertible. Thems the signs of the times.

He was a qualified marksman in the US marines firing an Italian military rifle with a telescopic sight at a target 81m away - fairly easy for an experienced shot.

Que? A trolley jack and WD40 is what the dedicated use to insert things dummy.

Which one of the 1-9 options is that?

I liked this comment: "You have forgotten the one where the Daily Telegraph posts deliberately contentious articles and then places them on the 'most viewed' list to drive internet traffic and so raise ad revenue".

You said "He earns 2 Millio Euros a year net. Works out about £60k a week net". It doesnt.

...

Nice picture, but it makes it look so much bigger than it was.

You should watch this interview with Karzai the outgoing Afghan President. Pretty frank. http://bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24435776#TWEET914354

Do you not see any news Jamie? They're being invited into the Government.

Still seems odd that he hasn't had a 'well done we're watching you' call from the French set-up and it seems no-one has been to watch him play.

Yeah we are - otherwise the deaths are all for nothing.

Aren't we out there because they're supposed to be violent oppressors of their own people. Im not sure how behaving the same as them gives us some moral superiority. There is no right or fair solution really. Immediately before he was injured by the cobra the Taleban guy had been trying to kill the same troops who eventually finished him off. You can make a case for anywhere between 'life' and 'absolute discharge'. If he gets five years and serves three I guess that is as right and fair as any.

Bit of a mix: Lib Dems 33.33% Labour 22.22% UKIP 22.22% Conservatives 11.11% Green Party 11.11%

almost exactly the same rate as 16 goals in 75 in the last three years from Lallana who has just been called up for England....

I think 3B was thrown off the scent by your accent - he only speaks Hachijō dialect.

Isnt that the point of the article, and echoed by Manuel? The uncontentious poppy symbol was created to remind people of the horror of WW1 and to avoid it happening again. Arguably its use has been hijacked by current politicians who are engaged in sanctioning more foreign wars on dubious premises - hence turning the original message of the poppy on its head.

Me too! Two Saints emails that day - no free drink, just 'fill in a survey' and a message penned by Jeff Sterling about prostate cancer.

du meinst die Frau Deutsch?
