#130... Soussant neurve or something like that Rob,even the number summons up visions. The good old age of 3 score and 10 is quite true. I died then and now just a ghost of former self. Make hay while the sun shines. JS

Hi All.
Trouble is Trump and his tweeting has put him in a corner, instead of phoning Putin and getting him to agree to an inspection of that so called gas attack he had to blow his mouth off, besides how could there be Russian troops in the same streets surely they wouldn't drop gas bombs on their own troops? On the subject of that gas attack according to my wife who has an excellent recall on faces, some of the children in that clip appeared in the earlier one of a gas attack.
I'm glad I'm living down here, as I think we are closer to an atomic war than we ever were.
Cheers Des

#143... That’s quite possible Des, the media are dab hands at inserting library pictures into most stories. I wouldn’t be complacent about living down here though, we may become a target for a smaller residential country for anyone wanting to use as a warning to what they are capable of. Cheers JWS.

Personally my feeling is that trying to destabilise Syria and trying to remove president Assad whether you like him or not was the start of letting Isis loose who saw Assad being defeated a big mistake on their part Assad had a huge Ally in Mother Russia . I am all for Britain standing against gas attacks but as part of Nato only we're talking about a Anglo American Franco Alliance and I wonder currently that is two people out of Europe and The Americans where are the rest of the 27 States we don't hear that Bulgaria or Hungary or Germany are going to put their troops or their equipment out on the front line so it looks like we're off yet again to fight somebody else's battle in the Middle East I think it's time that we sheathed the sword and let the rest of the world go by

If British forces are still using Cyprus as a base hope they have deep shelters. If it comes tit for tat they stand to be now on alert. JWS.

I believe the RAF still have RAF akrotiri as an air base on Cyprus

Our Donald and out Vladimir are having fun at our expense.

Neither will start a war by themselves.
If push comes to shove there may well be conflict but it will be brought about in such a manner that each will accuse the other without either getting the blame.

Whilst we may not be allowed to discuss politics on site, In a manner, that should be respectful of the other person, the fact is that our daily lives are totally controlled by what goes on in USA, Russia, China and a few others.

Like it or not they will do what they want and there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Don't know what you are worried about, according to conspiracy theorists the world will end on the 23 of April.
On this date the planets will align and a virgin will appear in the skies, before planet X which is hiding behind the moon will wreck the earth. This same planet was due to appear last September, but failed to show.
Make the most of the time available. Lol)

Vic that planet is being manned by SNCF drivers lol.
23rd of April just my luck as Uncle Ernie dropped me a good wedge this month.
