Very amateur family historian/genealogist (Irish & English) with a side interest in military stuff too.

Always jam first & it's 'scon' not 'scoan'
Obviously I meant '... there's nothing that they won't use...'

Is it better for Farage that we focus more on this than the questions surrounding the purchase of that house? He's keen to copy Trump's diversionary tactics and there's nothing that they'll use as a deflection.

Obviously adding little to this discussion but many years ago I worked for an insurance co with business on the Isle of Man. One day I rang the tax office and said I was ringing from the mainland. The lady at the other end pointed out that THEY were the mainland - we were the big island to the east.

Nothing will happen while Gov't ministers and others in all parties continue to accept bribes and other largesse from Israel & its associates. What they do now is posture and equivocate (lie) while people die.

Journalists do nothing to question this so the same old political tripe is served up.

I've been finding details about my father's racing past in the 1930s, 40s & 50s. I've found so many races he rode in but, luckily for me, he only worked for 3 trainers. There seems to be little historical information for this 'industry', unless it's about the famous owners and trainers.

I don't know if it will happen. But don't forget that the party in power who will be making the law also receive political donations. Do you think they'd pass a law depriving themselves of income without a handy exemption or two?

Thanks, I thought we'd been forgotten. Will follow toute suite

Us poor folk in Berkshire are a bit left out here too.

It's an education seeing how aggressive they are
to other males when there's a female they're interested in. They don't go in for subtlety in courtship either.

To be honest, I don't care. However, it's a useful news filler to avoid talking about Gaza amongst other things

I usually start checking for children's birthdays from the marriage dates onwards. Where there's a gap of about 12 months I'm assuming that the marriage was an after-event

That could explain it although it'd have to be weighed to be sure. It looks to be a good size, as I said, and I'll keep feeding it for as long as it takes. We had smaller ones a couple of months ago but I haven't seen the for a while & they came from a different direction
