I'm amazed that armies could have thousands of men under arms at all considering the host of debilitating conditions people were subject to years ago. The Crimean War is a good example of disease being a far greater killer than the enemy itself.

"Burn the Boats" a phrase traced to conquistador Hernan Cortes before the 1519 conquest of Mexico, meaning a full commitment to success with no option for retreat. Some say it is a deplorable use of settler-colonial rhetoric.

No chance of getting anywhere? They have attracted 120,000 paid up members in a matter of weeks and are polling at an incredible 10% overall. No, I won't vote for them this time as it's truly imperative we remove this government but in the future? No doubt I will.

I see Restore's membership has now gone up to 130,000 members and the Labour party's membership is dropping by 152 members a day and accelerating.

The danger is a split opposition, although Labour is facing the same threat with the rise of the Greens.

In 1776 he wrote, "We have it in our power to begin the world over again." Thomas Paine. Seems to have relevancy today given the implications of the conflict with Iran.

If only that were correct, having the power to begin the world over again, we could stop Islam ever arising. The world will be a lot safer place when Iran has its radical leaders exterminated and a new breed of leader installed.

Punk and dirt bag are two of them. Do you watch Blue Bloods and/or Boston Blue?

You will hear the language from the police officers and detectives, especially

from Det. Danny Reagan.

I don't think we get them over here, although with the internet anything is accessible. I'm not a great watcher of crime dramas unless they're set in pre-war days or have gorgeous actresses in them such as Heather Locklear.

It sounds odd but if I saw a TV drama advertised set today I probably wouldn't watch it, but if they produced the same thing set in the 19th century I would,

Heather Locklear/Britney Spears?? You seem to be infatuated with women who have alcohol, substance abuse, & mental disorders. They must have 30 failed re-habs between them.
