He was also the evil station chief that Sean Connery was up against in the Sci Fi film Outlands.

It would if we started another one. Just a thought.

I am confused. Are you saying the fine judge is not a fine judge?

She stopped being Prime Minister 34 years ago. I suspect a lot of people will choose someone whose leadership has happened in their lifetime.

This is a puzzle to me. Is Farage for the Tories or against them? He attends their conference and there is talk of him joining and becoming leader. Then again he might become leader of Reform again and be their worst nightmare. It would be like Alex Salmond launching Alba but also talking about rejoining the SNP and becoming their leader again. I don't know if the Tories and Reform are two parties or just one.

The conditions that allowed life to happen here on Earth probably exist elsewhere as well. From a purely philosophical angle, I have no difficulty with the idea that the Milky Way has billions of inhabited worlds with some of them remarkably similar to here. No way to prove it but statistically it seems more likely than not.

.. but you are only a Sergeant!

To anyone who is the Commandant of a Prisoner-of'-War camp it should be noted that visits from the Red Cross are mandatory according to the Geneva Convention. Strange that they should be using Motorway Road Signs to debate this issue.

You recall correctly. After Savile died, Channel 4 did a documentary about what a great guy he was and there were pictures of an impressive headstone. Less than a week after that the truth came out and the family uplifted the headstone and demolished it.

Message inside is even worse.

Not everyone though. https://screenrant.com/x-files-scully-different-casting-gillian-pamela-anderson/

In Roman days this would have been Scotland (Caledonia) versus Ireland (Hibernia) and after their win, Hibernian would have been rampaging the streets of Inverness shouting "Vicimus" (as in "we conquered"). Thankfully these are quieter times and I encountered no such behaviour. I applaud the Hibs fans for their win and also their self restraint.

So if your roofer is called Frank then that is fine but if his real name is Tom then it is not. Not sure why that explains it.

Oh dear. Short month syndrome or something like that.

March is not just a normal month. The Romans named it after Mars the God of War. It was also the first month of the year. Shows how they liked to kick things off. Incidentally September, October, November and December were 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th as their names might suggest. Anyway Scotland vs Ireland in the Cup this afternoon.

^^^^Adele. Another relationship ended late last April but never mind. Top 10 single on the way.

FYI If I click on the J icon that you use as your moniker, it takes me to your profile where I see you joined on the 9th January last year, you live in Edinburgh, support Kilmarnock and have made 144 posts to date and then lists them out. It only took minutes to identify all of them. HTH

Phone up the Boston Red Sox and ask them.

This program is the obvious choice if I want to explain the term "useful idiot".

In Aussie season 1 it was 4.

Unless your name is Vera, Chuck or Dave.

You can't have it both ways. PR would be marvellous for Westminister but in Scotland it was devious sinister ploy to undermine the SNP. When devolution was introduced, it was obvious that PR was the only acceptable option for electing members. Yes, it would stop the SNP getting an undeserved mojority in later years but it also stopped anyone else getting an undeserved majority - including Labour. Nobody at the time knew how future elections would work out. I doubt anyone was scheming with their crystal ball. A better way to look at it is that nobody gets a majority of seats unless they get a majority of votes and that is rarely going to happen. That is why Salmond could argue for a referendum because his majority was not just some fluke of how the votes added up.

Actually it is only his opinion that every poster is allowed an opinion.
