Support for a war by the US public is only around 21% compared to 78% who supported the war in Iraq.

At the State of the nation address by Donald Trump the only part of the speech applauded by both the Republicans and Democrats was the anti Iran rhetoric.

The support in congress relates to the influence the Israel lobby has on American politics. The democrat members of congress in particular are going against the people they represent.

The guy who found a trumpet growing in his garden- he rooted it oot

Make me cringe kickback

People who talk in the cinema while the film is playing deserve to be dragged outside and beaten unconscious. About every time I go to the cinema I end up having to tell some utter **** to shut the **** up.

The train pulls up and you're trying to get off but a crowd of absolute ****s crowd the door so you can't get off. Some particularly horrible ****s might even try to rush onto the train before the people trying to get off have been able to.

Scum.

Drunk people shouting inane drivel throughout stand-up comedy gigs. Your heckles are never funny and you sound like a moron. Glasgow is absolutely terrible for this for some reason. Instant ejection for any dickhead who shouts shit out when the comedian is on.

Tim Minchin. Anything he does or says just irks me. His stupid face and make-up. An utter knob.

Being served in a shop by two people who continue a private conversation and completely disregard the fact that you're standing there. Ignorant a-holes.

Being ignored in bar / restaurant by waiting / bar staff until they are quite ready. Just a simple acknowledgement makes a world of difference.

People in banks who try to sell you all manner of shit when you're only trying to pay in a cheque. I understand that they are pressured into behaving like this so I blame the dicks who make them behave in this way. It's still annoying though.

Someone had to, eh????

Good use of Johnny Cash's - God's Gonna Cut You Down.

Better Together.

Much of this dismissed as smears.

Especially in the field of politics.

Obviously he hasn't been convicted but the trafficking of children by the powerful and if you are to believe the stuff related to these stories by government agencies makes the Saville stuff look tame.

Or is this still regarded as fake news?

USA needs to up the ante on its "enemies" to distract from their own economic mess (and allow grandpa Joe some breathing space for afternoon naps) - and expects its lapdogs to follow suit (UK will, Germany won't)

NATO in Ukraine is exactly the same as USSR in Cuba in 1963. What did/do they expect?

Easter European nations make overtures to the EU and NATO because their populations have looked west for years thinking "I'll have some of that". And when they do, what the west gets is increased demands for financial support, economic and criminal migrants, loss of jobs to low paid labour and the rise of right wing nationalism in these former eastern bloc countries.

So why should WE care what happens in Ukraine? This is about the west picking fights and Putin trying to show he's a big swinging dick. And Johnson trying to distract from his own lies.

Post the last film you rented/downloaded or saw at the cinema and give the score...

Feel free to post an opinion if the urge takes you

I'll kick off on the next post....

I do .

But my mum does for everyone.

Doesn't mean I follow a religion but I do pray not in the sense of "Our father who art in heaven"

But I do .

For really important things and I give thanks through prayer.

Horses will be asked to jump 30 fences (16 on the first lap of the course and 14 on the second) before the sprint to the winning post. Some jumps, such as Becher's Brook and The Chair, have a fearsome reputation. Over time, alterations to fences including softening of the structure and lowering of the heights have been made with the aim of making them safer for horses and riders.

Will you be taking a punt , workplace draw, top tip or having a flutter on a favourite?

I'll kick us off with this video of an impressively large eruption of a geyser at Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone Park, which appears to have happened within the last couple of hours.

My questions are:

Why in movies when there is a scene in a car do they have a fake background? Surely it can't be that hard just to drive a car and film it?

How did singing to support your team come abou in football? It doesn't seem like a natural thing to do when watching a game.

What do the folk who tell you eastenders is next etc do in between their announcements? Is that there only job, just to introduce the next show?

Someone answer these please and ask your own. Useless knowledge is power.

Double edge sword  People need to go in to support their pub but maybe can't affford to.

Apparently incoming at some point soon.

Seems the UK is particularly vulnerable. Already shortages in Australia. Are we headed back to the 70s?

I have noticed the soon to run out north sea oil/gas in 2014 is being suggested as a solution.

Got a feeling cost of living will get a hammering and skyrocket either way.

Start growing stuff in the garden and get a big stash at Costco as its about to get bumpy.

There's plenty material out there, Russian cash, Farage's house purchases, the slow motion car crash of Kent council.

Here's todays starter for 10 - 10 years for taking Russian cash.

Post the best here please...I’ll start...

Anyway, any suggestions? Quite fancy something based on war.

You can crank it all the way up to 11 without fear of upsetting the neighbours.

What are the top tunes you're going to play?

Anyone recommend something else? (Tried breaking bad but got to episode 5 and gave up!)

I'm gonna start off with Big Jim.
