Basically what Sir Humphrey said all those years ago: EDIT: Just realised I shared the same clip last year upthread.

Guys, I think we have a winner for the "describe Truss in a nutshell" award.

One vegetable endorsing another vegetable: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68821646

This number is on a downward trajectory though, with quite a few countries normalising relations with Israel in recent decades. Saudi Arabia were close to joining them until Hamas kicked off (the cynical view is the attack was timed in connection to this). Granted some nations are still a...

If we're doing that everyone should go back to East Africa ;)

He is the latest in a long line of autocrats/leaders who has resorted to war in order to retain power by distracting from internal struggles: Putin and the Iranian regime are other current examples; if China do invade Taiwan, Xi is another leader presiding other relative economic struggles...

They're expected to be a bloodbath for the Tories: firstly because their national polling is currently dire, and second because, as mentioned above, the vaccine bounce among other things made the Tories do better than expected in 2021, so improved on already high numbers, but this means the only...

Religion is the facade these regimes use to justify their actions. It's really about land, power, control, etc., but good luck getting your populations to get on board with those reasons for war.

I'm of the belief that the winner of WW3 will be nature. Even if nukes are not used and humanity survives the conventional warfare, the conflict will expedite climate change, both through other priorities and the war itself being a big polluter, to the point humanity will be in real trouble...

Fair enough, I can see Russia taking a large deal of Ukraine, but then being stuck with a USSR in Afghanistan-style guerrilla war that makes further advances more difficult. Iran seems to be powerful through proxies, but if it got into direct conflict with someone like the US they would be in...

An embassy/consulate is not the sovereign territory of the country represented in it, that's a myth. That doesn't mean what Israel did was justified, but that's the technicality here.

Well don't book anything in life next year, with it all kicking off in the Middle East and Russia making progress in Ukraine, WW3 looks imminent (if not already here).

Yes this is why I used those two and not the other stations on that line, which also are max 8 car. Southeastern need more trains that are 4/8/12 car, not 5/10.

*Cough cough* Herne Hill Brixton too short *Cough Cough*

If you don't mind me asking, are you the/an author of that website? I've read a number of articles/posts on it before in relation to Southeastern and what you say on there and on this forum are very similar (if you are this is not a criticism, just an observation).

Okay, so what stock in storage right now could this theoretically cover? The suggestion of 165s from Chiltern above presumably wouldn't do as they're not available either.

TfW have 24x 158s, the additional half dozen could easily be them if this deal is legitimate.

As it happens, Trump has spoken out saying the Arizona ban goes too far: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68783408

If Trump does lose in November, the overturning of Roe v Wade and its fallout will almost certainly be the biggest reason why. Arizona is a notable swing state, both in the Presidency and Senate, so this development could have major political impacts...

Well her flight plans went tits up: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-68770727
