Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-20 03:21:44Copy HTML An English man pulled a 4,000 lb. car down a street in West Yorkshire with a rope tied to his penis. As neighbors cheered him on, he doused himself with lighter fluid & set himself on fire. All for the purpose of raising awareness of prostate cancer.
What was that about mad dogs & Englishmen? |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-20 03:56:31Copy HTML Crescent Holdings is an Islamic group that recently bought St. Ann's cathedral & shrine in Buffalo. They are turning the Catholic church into a mosque. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-20 07:17:05Copy HTML They have turned hundreds of Christian churches into mosques. It is the definitive example of your cultural decline when Islam takes away your religious buildings. It is an act of domination, it tells you who is in charge and who is operating your civilisational removal. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-20 07:20:52Copy HTML We will never do anything to prevent our civilisational decline over here, short of Civil War in the future, but I feel Trump should step in and prevent any further incursion into your religious foundational decline and replacement. Do it now, never get to the position we are now in, which I feel is a point of no return, barring national upheaval. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-20 11:31:26Copy HTML One of the reasons I stopped watching the news is because they all spend an inordinate amount of time shilling their own shows, like their anchors are big celebrities. Between these plugs, they repeat their stories.

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-21 12:33:02Copy HTML One of the reasons I stopped watching the news is because they all spend an inordinate amount of time shilling their own shows, like their anchors are big celebrities. Between these plugs, they repeat their stories. And by using their bully pulpit to plug their books, they all wind up to be best sellers. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-21 11:45:17Copy HTML Is Putin's power slipping? Anything can happen when the throne of a weakening dictator is up for grabs. Putin is working from bunkers scattered around southern Russia, with a heightened fear of assassination. The economy was a big problem, but the war in Iran has provided some temporary relief with the price of oil going from $50 to $100 a barrel. Meanwhile the casualties mount in the Ukraine War which has become a stalemate for the Russian Bear. The walls are closing in.

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-23 06:00:35Copy HTML Banksy's very own turd on a pavement has fetched a record amount for a stomach churning item. If ever there was an example of artistic, monkey see monkey do bullshit, it's banksy. Just whose got his hand up this puppet's rear end making millions over the perceived mystery? He supposedly did a work of art a few months ago and WOW, we woke up next morning to a masterpiece that would have taken days to produce. I mean, had he perfected the ability to float on air? Levitate in the darkness? because his work was high up on the side of a building. He's a money pit for the astute con artists. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-24 07:45:46Copy HTML Unseasonably hot here, into the 30s in the south, high 20s where I am. It began on Friday and will last to the end of next week. I, Gollum-like, will scuttle about in the shadows if I have to go out. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-24 10:23:27Copy HTML A new film is about to be released about Henry Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey - Madfabulous. Look him up, he was one of the great British eccentrics, a wild life and dead at 29 having squandered his entire fortune. One of his country residences was Beaudesert not far from me here in Staffordshire, although the film is set in his main residence in north Wales. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-24 01:12:10Copy HTML Henry William Paget, first Marquess of Anglesey, was the man sat alongside Wellington at Waterloo when a canon ball passed between their horses and took his leg off. By god sir, he whispered, I've lost my leg. Upon looking down Wellington replied, so you have! There is a Nelson type column to him in Anglesey and the family estate is open to visitors. One of the treasures on show is his wooden leg. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-24 05:24:59Copy HTML With a conversation like that under the circumstances, it would seem we have two eccentrics. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-25 09:37:34Copy HTML We had to save Mother England from speaking German, now it looks like we are going to have to save her from speaking Arabic. Save yourselves first Tom then get around to us. The galactic muslim frauds run in Minnesota and California have show you to what extent these people infiltrate and exploit Christian countries, whom they hold in complete contempt. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-25 12:22:03Copy HTML RN to help clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines is a headline over here. Seems to me that is of a lot less importance than meets the eye. Other than Trump can claim some kind of coalition & a win, but in the end the Iranians are still left in a position to close the Strait in the future. But the gas prices should come down so John & Mary will be happy, Trump will smirk, the MAGA crowd will celebrate, but the lunatics are still in charge of Persia. |

Re：Don't start another Date Posted：2026-05-25 12:35:05Copy HTML A prime example of winning the fighting but being unable to win the war because the enemy won't accept defeat. The Iranian regime can and will outlast Trump who is eying up the cost of a war that he cannot put an end to. He has voters to persuade, the Iranians have no such worries therefore they can go on longer than Trump can. As for the rest of NATO being of no help, the USA does not possess effective mine clearance vessels, Europe does, he needs us now. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.
