Re: Air strikes
Rob when I built my present abode, I had the water borers in and only had To go down30 feet to water. I use bore. Water for all garden needs. It cost me at the time and put bore water on to the reticulation peanuts compared to what some people pay annually for water consumption. The water plain in Western Australia is quite easy to get at in most places. JWS.

Re: Air strikes
According to the midday news here most of the Arab nations are quite happy with the 'coalitions' strike at Syria.
You may recall when Obama was in Office Syria used Sarin gas against its people killing some 50,000.
Obama declared a Red Line then but did nothing about it.
Trump declared red Line and did.
It is no secret that Syria has developed chemical weapons and the UN inspectors are on their way to insect the damaged factories.
But once again we have a situation where Russia and USA ate at each other using a separate country as the ring for the fight.
Sanctions placed by USA on Russia, Russia will retaliate with sanctions of its own, and we can all yawn and go back to our daily lives.
Nothing to see here fellas.


Happy daze John in Oz.

John, The state this country has got itself into it wont be firearms issued, The home guard will out number the army, So expect a spud gun and a wet mop to charge at the ruskies on the beaches, Dont forget lads aim for the lug holes with your spud gun and a bloody big king Eddie spud it doesn't arf hurt. Hand to hand combat with a wet mop be sure its been dipped in a nerve agent you will have to buy your own, Bloody big bottle of bleach £1 in Tesco's. What a state of affairs. Terry.
