    Interestingly Donald Trump is saying that there is..... "no credible evidence implicating the rich and powerful in the Epstein case".....well yes he would say that being one of that grouping.....he knew Epstein very well years back......and the sooner Epstein is swept under the carpet the better it would suit him......Oh to have been a fly upon the wall all those years back....what would we have seen ?

    Is there no end to Donald Trump's power.

    He has got Coca Cola to change one of there ingredients back to cane sugar.

    I've watched football and played it even before football was invented. Can somebody explain to me how England Women are still in the Euros?

    The people of Plymouth voted against having am elected mayor on a turnout of 19%, 19,800 to 18,000.

    I used to be apathetic but I just can't be bothered any more.

    Not sure if that is a good result or not.....some of the Northern Mayors do seem to have some clout and get the North recognized......fine result if you want to keep Plymouth as a sleepy little backwater with no M-ways or up graded railways and of course no Airport to rejuvenate trade and commerce.....and also to to keep the area a no go area for top pro football.

    19% turnout....pathetic.....no one seems to care.

    A good penalty shoot-out is one you win.

    As I think I mentioned, Microsoft (in the form of Windows 11) knows far too much about things you are interested in so I get all sorts of stuff pushed at me. Today, there's a photo-item about abandoned airports.

    I know what you're thinking, I did too, no, Plymouth Airport isn't in there.

    But this is a great photo of a flight on final approach to Hong Kong's Kai Tak airport.

    Before you got to where this plane is now, you came in from over those hills you can see behind and then turned sharp 90 degrees right onto finals. Infamously, a large target was fixed to a tall building (probably residential) which the pilot aimed at before making that turn.

    This what happened if you overshot.

    Can you guess why they closed it?
