Ranger, Yorktown and Lexington would all be great names for future American carriers! I'm a sucker for the old names. Never thought the USS John C Stennis or USS Carl Vinson were well named frankly. I mean I get naming for presidents but senators? Particularly one with Stennis's record on civil righ...

Deliberately or by accident? :D By accident. It was a Rocket Society job; they’d tried to launch from a golf course, except the Heddlu (police) turned up and after asking, “Ello Ello Ello, what’s occurin’ ‘ere then?”… they were instructed to take the whole kit & caboodle to Aberporth, where the...

How can they have it with Walsh... I mean didn't he get impaled???

I don’t actually like Trump all that much. TDS isn’t real? Absolutely is. We’ve been living with (Current Republican President) Derangement Syndrome for decades. It manifests itself as overwhelming bias towards anything the (Current Republican President) does even when it’s the exact same thing a p...

"so infested with leftist, TDS, biased “moderating, anti-American bull $h!t" "This whole discussion is nonsense and nothing more than more TDS bashing over a silly @$& report being blown out of proportion by the biased TDS leftist propaganda machine" Wow... Just wow. For a gr...

I think you all have been scammed by a satire I think you are pretending it's satire rather than admit that the President of the United States is actually that ridiculous. And his cabinet are so spineless they won't even tell him the shoes are too big. Actually that's not fair, it's just Rubio so f...

Most clowns are very skilled entertainers, especially those who make it all look accidental... ( Happens I do not like clowns, but I *respect* them...) Trump seems unable to laugh at himself, only sneer at those he considers lesser folk. I must wonder about his opinion of cats... Fair point. And in...

I saw a Ed Davey of the UK Liberal Democrat's being interviewed by an American news talk show make the joke "at least British politicians wear shoes that fit!"... But seriously is Trump's ego so fragile that Rubio couldn't just say "uhm they are a size too big Mr President." Eith...

Merry Christmas everyone! I have to admit this year I'm not feeling it, but that doesn't stop me from hoping that all of you have a wonderful christmas surrounded by the ones you love! Same here! Admittedly this year has mostly been an annus horribilis for me and I can’t wait for 2026. Jonathan I h...

Why not have the Marines use armoured hippos and the regular army use battle rhinos? Best of both worlds!

Shamelessly nicked. Still haven’t found him, though! they should look 3 feet up the president of the united states ass... I think thats the most likely place to find him! Or maybe at the local KGB office? Isn't the KGB Office already there? Well the KGB office sure as hell isn't in Clacton - or Far...

At the height of WWII on the Eastern front, a high-level meeting takes place in the Kremlin between Stalin and the marshals on the situation on their respective fronts. When the meeting ends, Marshal Georgy Zhukov is the first one to step out. As he does so, he mutters under his breath "Fucking...

:lol: Decided not to go with Billy, for one thing when I picked it, it was because of a Glasgow-Catholic gf's nickname for me - which I later found out was to give her father heart palpitations. Didn't realise way back then what a bad nickname it was in Glasgow and by the time I did it was too late....
