Rest in peace Josef, we will never forget you

Plus we don't have a hospital ship.

Badennoch and Farage have zero understanding of what it takes to make a ship sea and combat ready. If Dragon had been earmarked for northern waters service then just prepping for warmer waters would have been a huge operation.

Staggering. Difficult to understand a mentality that would consider stripping someone of spiritual artifacts, especially when under such stress.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the first group of Ukrainian military experts will depart for the Middle East on Monday, to share experience gained during four years of war with Russia.

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old lie: Dulce at decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Rest in peace Bohumil, we will never forget you

This is terrorism dressed as a military operation.
41 people killed in an Israeli raid in the Bekaa Valley, to rescue one missing airman. The airman had been missing for 40 years.
Israeli exceptionalism sees nothing wrong in killing 41 people searching for a 40 yr old corpse. They found no body.

A lifetime in uniform.

Going off topic, Tyldesley RUFC vets played Ystradgynlais RUFC vets when they toured Lancs in 2010. Or so we thought. 15 Bongs old men played 15 of Wales finest under 21s due to a mix up by our then sec. I played stand off and due to lack of ball watched a superb display of very fast Welsh rugby.

I know osteoporosis is well researched but give Peri menopausal women free gym access, dedicated time and guidance and help maintain bone density. Small price to pay to avoid the devastation of osteoporosis.

I remember every Tory leader since Harold MacMillan and she is the worst of them all. Lightweight, bitter and trying to cover her failure up with a tsunami of bile.

I have seen it so many times and yet on every new occasion that a right wing Christian fundamentalist spouts some repugnant bile, their lack of understanding of what Christ's message was and is, still leaves me speechless.
