We don?t have to agree on anything. I would like your opinion: do you think there is a connection between our foreign policy in the Middle East ie; invading Afghanistan, Iraq and bombing Syria with the terror attacks we have suffered in recent times?

Doesn't matter what our foreign policy is- that is just used by jihadis to justify terrorist acts.

Islam declared war on the west aeons ago- we have chemical jihad, jihadi rape etc etc going on 24/7 in Europe. Overt acts of terrorism are the actions that slipped through the surveillance net- unfortunately for the French cop in the supermarket yesterday

Just because you're self-righteous doesn't mean someone has to debate with you, nor does it mean that you have 'won'. It just means you're a bit childish.


On topic, it makes sense for the armed forces to have outreach events at schools - they still recruit in significant numbers and some kids are likely to find a career (short or long) in the forces very rewarding.

Of course not. The rum ration was abolished in 1970.

Just before the first gulf war my boss was a navy guy who had just left a post as "chief" (think its the highest NCO rank).


He suggested us young lads might like to join up and fight (and mentioned we might not get a choice) - the immediate indignant refusals to fight by the entire group was telling :)

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
