Yes Nic, this stuff is fucking hilarious.

In September last year FBI Director Kash Patel was questioned in a Congressional Committee about the files. He was asked how many times Trump was mentioned in them; "Is it a thousand ?" he was asked, "It's not" was his reply. "Is it 500 ?", "No" "Is it a hundred ?" "I don't know what it is, but it isn't that". TBF, Patel was right, Trump is mentioned 4896 times in the papers released so far, and there are still 3 million documents that are unreleased and that the DoJ say will not be made public, despite the Court and Congressional instructions to do so.

Trump has urged the Republican party to "take control" of elections.

Thousands of documents have been taken down from the website as they revealed victims' names, email addresses, and even nude photos.

Which failed to detect a Russian agent working as Keeper of the Queen's pictures.

They are either confident that such claims are utter nonsense, or it's the biggest bluff ever played.

That's not rain it's just a seasonal high tide.

Holland and Murray's Battle of Britain video series is excellent. Also their coverage of the early war in the North African desert. They have just done a series on Operation Pedestal, the convoy to Malta containg the tanker SS Ohio, ( which was captained by my BiL's grandfather ). So much misunderstanding surrounds the build up to and early part of WW2: Chamberlain bought time with his "piece of paper" that allowed the RN and RAF to be better prepared for the inevitable; the German army High Command, ( OKW ) held the view that the army would not be ready until the mid 1940s, something the Kreigsmarine agreed with, and as a consequence 70% of the German army's transport was horse drawn, and the majority of the tank force comprised models that were never intended for front line combat, ( Pzkpfw1 & 2 ), or were captured Czech vehicles, ( almost all of Rommel's 7th Panzer Dividion in France were Czech 35ts or 38ts ). The British and French had better than parity in tanks and planes, in both quality and quantity, but the French CandC and operational dictrine were disastrously flawed.

In the remote possibility that we go up, I cannot see Tonda keeping us there.

My wife bought me the three ( massive ) volumes of Shelbey Foote's history of the ACW. Whilst very in depth and informative, it's hardly a page turner. I suspect it will take me longer than the war itself to get through them.

As we won't be there it is not a problem.
