I think MLG's inflexible pedantry will eventually bury him.

After fundingcl cuts to the VA, and in the wake of the other cross-departmental budget reductions and program closures, Pete Hegseth has spent thousands of dollars converting a room adjacent to the Pentagon press room into a makeup studio.

What is infinity + 1 ?

Ahh, the usual misunderstanding of Cnut. The whole point of the tide thing was to prove to his courtiers that he wasn't all powerful, and could not command the tide to turn. Mind you, Trump seems unable to convince his handler to do anything.

Might it be somebody who posted a like on your post as he agrees with the sentiment ?

Our Bedlington/Whippet cross is called Beauregard Jackson Picket Burnside, after 4 Civil War generals.

Our local Primary do something similar for kids in top 2 years of the juniors.

Children ( A little bit of Cymraeg for you )

From what age ? And how do you police the issue of checking insurance ? Not dismissing the matter, we have insurance, but there is often comparison made to cars and "road tax" and registration, which some seem to think can be easily transposed onto cycling. Good in theory, almost impossible in practice.

I think a cycle ride should be a mandatory part of learning to drive.

Re-reading "Rifles" by Mark Urban, the history of the 1st battalion 95th Rifles in the Peninsular War. Once that is finished I will start on Seutonius' "Lives of the Caesers", which my wife has bought me for my birthday. As a continuing effort I am also slowly easing my way through Shelby Foote's massive three volume history of the American Civil War, I suspect it will take as long as the actual war did.

Just to be clear, some cyclists are fucking twats and if they have an accident probably deserve it. Their stupidity, arrogance, or tendency towards the suicidal have an adverse influence on the attitudes of drivers that impacts on sensible, safe, cyclists trying to get around safely and co-operatively amongst fast movinge blocks of steel.

The US says both Ukraine and Russia must "give up territory" or they will walk away from the peace process. In effect Ukraine gets back a small part of what Russia has occupied, and the Kremlin gets to keep the rest, including Crimea. Putin's SMO is justified and agression prevails.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says that "the entire Pentagon" is working against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Maybe we need another Supreme Court ruling.

I agree with you on that one.

Drivers who are unaware of the Highway Code. ( Your turn )

Hants women get a tied result against Warwickshire in the first women's one day cup game.

Drivers who are too dense to understand that for the majority of the road infrastructure, cycling on pavements is illegal.

If I'm riding my bike on a country lane and you are behind me, if somebody is coming the other way you FUCKING WELL WAIT TO PASS. If you choose not to, then at least allow me enough room to avoid the mess if you crash. There is a significant difference between 5 feet, ( safe passing ), and 18 inches, but I suspect you are the sort of person who thinks an extra inch doesn't matter - though I can guarantee that for your wives it does.

He isn't the only one with autism on here.

Why don't the English make as big a deal of it as the Irish do for St Patrick ? ( Cue MLG telling us that George was a Turkish mercenary and there was no dragon ).

"A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore all jobs and funding for the Voice of America and other US-backed news outlets, ruling that efforts to dismantle it violated the law and Constitution." "It is hard to fathom a more straightforward display of arbitrary and capricious actions than the Defendants' actions here," https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0jz58zjllzo

Makes deciding not to go to the States much easier.
