S and O

Town near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria. We had a lovely winter holiday in Uffing, close to there. Before we left, one of my workmates looked up our destination and saw that town nearby. No matter how much I protested that I wasn't going to Wank on my holiday, they didn't believe me.

Latest I've heard on motive is that the shooter possibly just wanted to make as big a spectacle as possible. He'd been researching school shooters, was bullied all through school, etc - the classic profile of a mass shooter. Killing Trump would have caused the biggest news in the world, so that was possibly his goal.

I think a lot of the words we think of as swearwords now - including the C bomb - were in fairly common use pre-Victorian times.

Given it's impossible to throw the other two..

I thought it was better to have no egrets in life.

Back to another high quality production by Rammstein.. .

Jeez, what a tasteless mob! I'll argue for flavour. Piquancy, tanginess, the touch of spice to titillate the taste buds. If I have poached eggs I'll put salt, pepper, oregano and some chilli flakes on them. Even grilled cheese gets a sprinkle of chilli powder before going under the grill. One of our favorite family recipes is chicken shawarma, by Recipe Tin Eats. The flavour is superb.

All I'm getting out of that is "Rock Sheep", because I don't know what the first pics are.

Watch the tin-foil hat brigade leap on that as proof that the secret service are part of the "deep state" and wanted the assassination to succeed.

Do it quietly Nev, or you'll upset the horses.

Hmmmmm.... I remember watching the 4 hour director's cut and being bored to tears.

Probably touched a nerve...

If you look at Trump's crowds and the Republican National Convention crowds there's a high proportion of white people, and fairly high male to female ratio. However the US is a very multicultural society so perhaps a female candidate with Indian and Jamaican/African heritage will pick up a lot more votes from the non-white groups. It all depends how the Democrats advertise her. Things like "Your choice - the prosecutor or the convicted felon" would be a good one. Reminding women of Trump's behaviour with women and his hand in taking away their power over their own bodies would be another.

Bill Wyman seems to be the oldest at 87. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger are both 80.

Really? What about Keith Richards, he looks about 250... (in actual fact he's only 80, I know)

Well, just like the value of Twitter, I hope he loses his money

"Thinking" being the operative word.

Turnip

If they can accept Donald Trump as their lord and saviour, their ability to selectively choose the facts they believe is already extremely well developed. So not surprising that they gloss over the inconvenient fact that the bloke who tried to slot him was one of their own, they've ignored so many inconvenient facts already.

When I was in Ireland I occasionally had a drink with a bloke named Will Power. There was some irony with that name, especially around alcohol.

Love the cameo by Tenacious D in there.

Operational??

They do. Milking and butter-churning as well. Anything to do with the udder.
