What is this, Jerry? Regarding the vid, with the rise of A.I. )and its thirst for training data), will there be any browser left that isn't going to use/sell data?

In spite of the constant cries of our present day 'unaffordable cost of living', We are living in the land of plenty. Few people today are as slim as we were when we were young. Millennials don't want to know how unaffordable excess eating was back then.

You are starting to sound like....... DJT, JD, or maybe Dut

That's equality for you. These days, women are even allowed to come in as many different shapes as men! Oh My Goodness! Where will it all end? (Dunno why some people feel threatened by all this.... not referring to you, Peter)

I thought all old bikes do that. Oh, maybe only British ones....

I was!

Great! DJT is saving America by cutting unnecessary costs such as police, and other service providers. So now it's Every man for himself! (There are there no other genders?)

No.

Happy anniversary Peter

Youdhave to baste him carefully ..... trumpstyle

I admit I have a problem...... My shed just aint big enough.

We might need a new thread "What Has Zelensky Done Today". It would be a lot more uplifting than hearing more depressing stuff about what Dunny done. It is refreshing to see and hear Zelensky speak (well, it is when he is permitted to finish a sentence). He represents what I wish our politicians had more of. He stood up to a bully. Even though english is not his primary language, his words are measured, rational, and consistent. He is far more understandable and unambiguous than most politicians. The recent exchange with trump was blown out of all proportion. After all, it was only about announcing a mineral deal being made under duress with america, who is more interested in profits than peace. That 'agreement' specifically excluded any commitment to brokering a lasting peace with security guarantees. So it wasn't about WW3. Neither USA nor Putin can be trusted to respect the sovereignty of Ukraine anyway (or anywhere they have mines).

Thank you Wolfie. Shall we send another case?

What Has Trump Done Now? He seems to have put the final nails into the coffin of democracy. The USA was previously labelled a 'fractured democracy'. I think it is now a failed democracy. It is time for europe to consolidate their democratic values, and leave USA to themselves. USA is clearly not an ally. They are exploiters. Everything USA has become a case of 'what's in it for us' and 'show me the money'!

The ultimate slap in the face for trumpets, would be to see Ukraine succeed without their self serving 'help'

So far, all we have is.... USA pulls military support from Ukraine. Not really unexpected, in spite of Dunny's theatrical dummy spit. What matters is.... Will EU step up enough to help Ukraine push back the invaders? I would dearly love to see Ukraine re-establish their sovereign borders. Especially without any involvement from USA. I live in hope....

Our interests are personal greed. Collectively we were once heading toward unifying the world (globalisation) but now we are reverting to 'dog eat dog' , and 'might is right'. Unfortunately we live in a inconsequentially minor country. As do Ukrainians. At the present rate, will the occupants of the USA be joining us?

Personally I cannot see how Zelrnsky can be blamed for Dunny's dummyspit. Some trump pets are openly blaming Zelensky and demanding apologies for 'disrespect'. From where I sit, Zelensky wasn't given much opportunity to say much at all. And pres elect was the one being very very disrespectful.

That's the american way!

Great news.... Dunny has united europe to support Ukraine! (Except old mate Orban)

A long time ago my father bought a Rolls Royce. It lacked the bumper bars because the previous owner had to remove them to get the garage doors to close. (Big car!) It also lacked the 'Flying Lady'. The previous owner had left the car outside a pub one night and when he came out the lady had flown! Worse still, dad couldn't afford to replace her - she was going to cost more than he paid for the car! But we all know how expensive a flighty lady can be, don't we!

Welcome home, Peter. After a stay in a hospital, there's no place like home.

Australian election theatre.... It's coming up fast. Maybe not so riveting as some, but when it comes to rallying cries, we seem to have some Dunny T wannabes of our own. I love reading Annabelle Crab's comments. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-26/clive-palmer-trumpet-of-patriots/100934096

Well, she did put her wine on the map.
