God bless you Sir!

That'll teach ya for cherry picking!!

YOu're in denial fella. American has attacked a country (being careful not to attack ones that can really defend themselves) every decade since WW2. If at the national level jingoism and solving everything with violence and regular calls to arms isn't going to trickle down to the national psyche I don't know what is? Even with picking military minnows you got your asses kicked. 42% on foodstamps. Unemployment and social inequality is rife...Poor education, third world healthcare..Some cities can't even pay their leccy bills...It's over and this kind of rampage and killing is going to increase as you well know. The biggest recorded national debt in the history of the planet backed by fiat money. Tell me all these people who lost their houses and live in shanty towns across countless states...Do they have guns?

Top post. After all it's a country run by a death cult.

They are the NO.1 exporters of war and death on earth. There is hardly a historical moment where America isn't slaughtering people across the planet somewhere. To all intents and purposes it was almost full on genocide in Vietnam and Cambodia...Then Korea...They haven't looked back since they wiped out the American Indian...It would be the equivalent of us wiping out all Scots, Irish and Welsh put together and then some...Nutters. Too many burgers.

Agree.

Looking forward to Oscar playing in the PL.

There are nearly as many guns in Canada. It's a deeper issue than just gun ownership. The American narrative has been very violent from day one.

18 times more likely to be killed by a bad doctor than a handgun in the U.S.

Diggingg a maze of 20-metre tunnels under your home that leave the property unstable, uninhabitable and prone to subsidence is no longer a barrier to house price success. The infamous Moleman's home in Hackney has just sold at auction for £1.12m – 50% more than its guide price of £750,000. For 40 years civil engineer William Lyttle secretly burrowed a labyrinth of tunnels under his London home which, when exposed, earn him the nickname of Mole Man. His epic dig was halted in 2006 when the tunnels undermined the foundations of his period property and the council evicted him for safety reasons before rehousing him. In 2008 the high court ordered Lyttle to pay almost £300,000 to Hackney council to pay for repairs, but he died in 2009, leaving the council with a £400,000 repair bill. Following his death, the property become even more dilapidated – to the point where the council had to fill in the tunnels with concrete to prevent subsidence. When they did so they found Lyttle had stashed four wrecked Renault cars, a boat, several baths and fridges and numerous TV sets under his home. They are still there, encased in the concrete used to shore up the property. The site was sold with planning permission for the derelict structure to be knocked down and replaced with two three-storey town houses with basements. Agents have speculated that the two separate homes could be worth up to £1m each. Would have been better if he's mysteriously dissapeared.

Those are some of the best sci-fi I've ever read. Real quality and huge canvas.

Dubai is shit basically.

Was there last year. Like it a lot. Stopped off for a couple of days this year after a week in Provence.

Cheeky bid.

Apparently he's working on a new cider based on Kia Ora and a couple of cans of Tango.

US geoengineers to spray sun-reflecting chemicals from balloon Experiment in New Mexico will try to establish the possibility of cooling the planet by dispersing sulphate aerosols Martin Lukacs guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 17 July 2012 13.21 BS The field experiment in solar geoengineering aims to ultimately create a technology to replicate the observed effects of volcanoes that spew sulphates into the stratosphere. Photograph: Gallo Images/Getty Images Two Harvard engineers are planning to spray thousands of tonnes of sun-reflecting chemical particles into the atmosphere to artificially cool the planet, using a balloon flying 80,000 feet over Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The field experiment in solar geoengineering aims to ultimately create a technology to replicate the observed effects of volcanoes that spew sulphates into the stratosphere, using sulphate aerosols to bounce sunlight back to space and decrease the temperature of the Earth. David Keith, one of the investigators, has argued that solar geoengineering could be an inexpensive method to slow down global warming, but other scientists warn that it could have unpredictable, disastrous consequences for the Earth's weather systems and food supplies. Environmental groups fear that the push to make geoengineering a "plan B" for climate change will undermine efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Keith, who manages a multimillion dollar geoengineering research fund provided by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, previously commissioned a study by a US aerospace company that made the case for the feasibility of large-scale deployment of solar geoengineering technologies." Ridiculous.

Move house.

Carroll is travelling back through time on a Romulan mining ship to correct the future. It all makes sense. Chillax.

I'm much happier with a loan to buy option if things are going well. Rumours are it's a 13m buy out clause.

...and they say women can't cook.

Some wonderful scenery and a good look at the mega-logistics involved. Enjoy.

Do it man. Education should be free for all. Accidents happen innit.
