Treble 20, Treble 20, Bull

Oh, a question for any keen students of highbrow literature.

How do Asterix comics work on a kindle?

The Beano

Treble 20, Treble 20, Double Top.

My favourite finish :)

Glad to see these protesters continue to have more in common with anti-war protesters in Europe and the EU than either do with their rulers. In the sense that prisoners, and holiday makers on the beach, and pretty much everyone will have more in common with each other than national rulers, I probab...

Who made Maniac a MiP? I'm not going to thank Maniac for doing this much vaunted task as he frankly gets far too much credit for it already. Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss. Let's all join together in singing The Red Flag to mark this auspicious moment... The working class can kiss my ...

GR also takes the scoring system into account. If you care about your rating, you'd do well to play accordingly.

You'd do even better to not care about your rating :)

Are you suggesting that the Americans deliberately shot down a plane full of Canadians, or that they just fuzzed up the targeting systems when they were expecting the Iranians to attack US targets, and it had an unfortunate consequence?

Is Iran stupid enough to provoke a country with a mad ruler? Iran's not stupid enough to assume that the US is mad. In terms of whether Iran can win a military conflict, it can if it defeats America's will to fight (which, whilst not as low as Europe's, is still pretty poor). As far as Diplomacy eq...

No reports of US troops injured or killed? Is this a good sign or a bad one? Obviously it's a good sign. How good it is depends on a variety of factors. Iran reputedly has extremely good missile systems (not like Iraq randomly lobbing scuds in the general direction of the enemy) so the very light c...

Ugh... I was hoping they would die out but it seems that there are more of them than I ever imagined!

The US view is that the now defunct nuclear deal gave the Iranians many benefits in exchange for sweet fa. Whether the benefits did Iran much good or not at the end of the day are a matter of some debate, but it's fair to say that the West benefitted not at all from the deal. Trump is saying that th...

PF, your choices for winning this year's special prize are as follow: 1. Join the mod team And this is how they get you... Make it seem like a reward... 😉 But jokes aside, thank you for your generosity, Zultar. It's always a fun thing to look forward to in the winter. Anyways, given the good democr...

From his tweet, he seems to be saying, "if we fight them we can win. But if we negotiate, I big brained Donald, author of the art of the deal, will get screwed over..." Not a declaration, but an admission that he thinks war is the better option. Not my read of it at all. To me the tweet is saying t...

It doesn't matter if a particular tweet is a declaration of war. Murdering a senior officer of a foreign power (on the soil of a third country and without that country's approval, for good measure) is most certainly a warlike act. It matters rather a lot, in fact. Warlike acts very rarely lead to w...

This game has become gross

God, but I hate mummers. You're trying to drink a quiet pint of ale by the fire when the atmosphere is trashed by a bunch of lunatics in ribbons and masks hamming it up with the most amateur dramatics ever seen, singing awful songs, and butting people with comedy horns. You've been doing the same bl...

Trump's latest tweet, claiming 'Iran has never won a war. Never lost a negotiation' seems like an effective declaration of war. In what sense? And distraction of from his impeachment I've not noticed Trump trying to distract from his impeachment before. If anything he's using it as a tool to hit De...

Lies of omission should be used constantly from the beginning. For example, if you are England, you want to ally with either France or Germany. The problem is in 1901, you don't have enough information to make a good claim. So Germany asks you if you want to form an alliance against France. You agr...

It is not happening. There have been private elements to the NHS since its founding. GPs and dentists have always been private companies within the system, and private companies have run various other parts of the NHS throughout my lifetime. Labour even tried to privatise a hospital, but that was br...
