    Star Trek Discovery

    Spoke never mentioned Sybok until Star Trek 5.. Perhaps the Spore drive is found to have major issues going forward.. No one ever mentions after Star Trek 3 that Starfleet had Transwarp drive aboard the Excelsior.. The Klingon changing look might have something to do with the Augment virus and...

    Rover 100 Metro

    Ah the Austin Metro.. My first car was a W reg I acquired in 1992 in 6th form.. Oh how I loved it's ability to crawl along the motorway.. It was interesting to note that someone once broke into it and ignored stealing it or the stereo and instead went for the clip on clock stuck on the...

    Huge fire in Grenfell Tower - West London

    Theresa May calls General Election on 8th June.

    Hardly democratic though is it? Loose you seat in an election.. get elevated to the house of Lords.. Have some spare cash to donate...get elevated to the house of Lords... Member of a particular religion.. get an automatic seat in the house of Lords...

    Theresa May calls General Election on 8th June.

    No different to the bloatware we have in the house of Lords.. They don't represent anyone! These MP's without constituencies would be able to devote more time to being involved in committees and trade delegations :)

    "Invincible" class Through-Deck Cruisers/Carriers

    There is a lot of interest in EMALS and the Ford Class will have them at some point... Of course you will need to factor in the power requirements of such a system..
