    This morning I called a local shop owner (nice American bloke) who had, what his doctor had described, as probably a non malignant tumour removed from his rectum a week ago (he'd thought it was a Hemorrhoid) and told me he couldn't answer my query because he hadn't been in the shop (nor would he be) until he received the results from the biopsy next week.

    When I placed my order last week he seemed very level headed about the problem, but now!

    What FFS does he think worrying about it and letting his business suffer will achieve?

    I then read about another (a no mark American actress I've never heard of - Rose McGowan) apologising to the Iranians for the death of the murdering scum bag Qasem Soleimani and begging them "not to kill us".

    Why not send the traitorous bitch to Iran for them to take out their promised 'retribution' on her?

    Any attempts by Iran to do more will just, imho, mean gallons of their blood spilt in the desert (or elsewhere).

    https://www.aol.com/article/enterta...gizes-to-iran-please-do-not-kill-us/23892073/

    It seems as if the 'snowflakes' are taking over!

    I despair!

    From Wiki, says it all really.

    "McGowan was born in Certaldo, Tuscany,[1] to American couple Daniel McGowan, an artist,[1] and Terri, a writer. She also has two half-siblings.[5] Her father ran an Italian chapter of the Children of God, which he and his wife were members of until 1978.[6] McGowan spent her early childhood at the group's communes, often traveling through Europe with her parents."

    An interesting take on 'rednecks', but I can't help wondering how/if you are being affected by the flames down under?

    Iirc correctly you are on the western side (somewhere around Perth) so it is not supposed to be too bad over there, but still.

    Didn’t know that @FulwellBri lived in WA, but you’re right, by comparison to the eastern states, I think we have come out of it pretty well (he says, typing this in a hotel room in Langkawi).

    Please explain why Roae McGowan's stance differs from Jane Fonda's stance on Vietnam, and why you are so unable to comprehend that someone might be worried about dying.

    Sounds to me like the only difference is that you now know about these people.

    What?

    Was that aimed at me, or one of your imaginary persecutors?

    Either way, it appears your madness has reached a new level!!

    So that'll be 'there's no difference at all, but I'll try to deflect from being senile'

    One of mine and Mrs K’s favourite places to visit. We always stay at The Westin. Off for a bit of island hopping on jet skis in half an hour. It’s a hard life!

    It's a great place to actually relax and do nothing we found.

    Wonder down the main street for dinner and then hang out a C bar in the hotel and listen to the band and watch the sunset

    Better to be out of them than nearly back in them.

    Thank you for confirming that my impression is, indeed, correct.

    It isn't, you're just absolutely convinced you have a clue, it's pointless even trying to convince someone like you of anything. Genuinely one of the most unpleasant human beings I've ever seen on the internet.

    Trump is a basket case who in one fell swoop has created a terror threat to the west that will reach new levels. The Iranian Shiites have been the main fighters in the region against the Sunni ISIS, but now we will have terrorists from both camps trying to hit western targets.

    I've still seen nothing about what this "imminent" attack on the US people that they foiled was supposed to be. I don't understand how this is anything but a declaration of war from America which would be illegal without the approval of the UN (not that they don't have history in this). I'm not accepting the "oh but he was an evil man" rhetoric whilst they're still in bed with the Saudis. That is not justification for war.

    The west need to start accepting that terrorism is a consequence of our foreign policy in the Middle East. The people need to start looking closer to home and shift our blame to the governments who are putting lives in danger with their reckless pursuit of power.
