Looks like the yank tanks are struggling.

This was published in December, so not sure if it’s old news, but I found it an interesting read about the potential Impact of the F16s

Oz is the last bastion of common sense

I love this sort of chat - even for the woker members of the bored, I’d recommend a listen - covers everything from putin through to climate and the impacts upon democracy

It's a starting point. Whether we got to it by accident or design doesn't matter, but what we've seen in the last two games has to be the path we continue to follow. As everyone says, have to continue to put more pieces of the puzzle in place and the bolder style of play needs to continue with sele...

Dormbrant, care and smith all off the bench together.

In better news for Borthwick, as reported by the Guardian last week, Ollie Lawrence has been passed fit to join the squad after completing his rehab last week. The 24-year-old centre offers more ballast to England’s midfield and bolsters their options, joining Manu Tuilagi in being available having ...

Scotland start as clear favourites but we're due a win over them. If we can continue the improvement in our new defence and make a couple of changes to our line up to give us a bit more go forward, I reckon we can sneak another close one. The addition of Tuilagi, even the lesser version we have now...

There was some dogshit on show but I’m not down, a lot of young players showed up, they need time and patience. Agreed. Freeman looked good. So too roots. Could really use a heavy carrier somewhere else. Ultimately though, I feel some empathy for the team that lost their starting fly half and 12, t...

That'll be Fraser Andrew Dingwall, the former Scotland age group player.

Is he any good?

Not seen him, nor roots.

The Death Star is not quite fully operational.

Dragon breath is a cracking name for the system.

So the potential bill for this is £900 million. FFS. Public bloody money. Get half from those dicks at Fujitsu. Well as a sometimes Developer, I feel duty bound to point out that: (a) You generally get what you pay for. (b) The Specs you write, are what the Developers are paid to produce (c) The pe...

Cracking video about barbeary’s injury and return.

We stuck and got a 6N win in 2020 when other sides rang the changes, but then we were behind the curve on a much needed squad refresh and were quickly overtaken. Besides which we won't get that win. We only have two home games and are categorically not a better team than France and Ireland right no...

Where do we go from here? Assuming Scabnose stays, will the EPS agreement allow for large scale changes in the squad? The likes of May, Daly, Tuilagi, Care, Youngs, Vunipola and Cole need to go. Likely Marler too and, ideally, Farrell. Biggest concern for me is tighthead. Sinckler isn't up to it at...

Longish read.

They don't need a decent amount of support when they're in charge of everything, the ones with the guns and the ruthlessness. It's also easy to keep the populace downtrodden when you spend all the money on weapons and building materials on tunnels. Enough about the Israelis... what do you think abo...

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I just love listening to this.

We’ll worth a listen.

To be fair to the tories, they have tried to change that. The collaborative procurement guidance they produced, for construction projects, a couple of years back was actually good. Then they’ve also changed the requirement for winning bidders to be the ‘Most Economic Advantageous Tender’ to being t...

It was only after I thought about this a bit, that I spotted a question I'd like the inquiry to ask. The tragedy occured because materials that weren't approved for highrise use, were used; but I can almost guarantee you that the materials that would have been suitable for use on Grenfell, were con...

We missed a game off the list guys. Uk armed forces vs Spain. Ended 128-3 to the UK. https://www.forces.net/sport/rugby-union/uk-armed-forces-reach-semi-finals-defence-world-cup-sensational-128-3-win-over That’s how low I’m feeling about England at the mo. I have to take solace that when we combine ...

I’m sure borthwick will take the positives though
Just like in his England captaincy days, "We're one step away from it clicking" as he faced up to another bullshit performance.

Exactly what I was thinking. I remember his denial well.

Utterly depressed.

If what you are asking is, do I think there is long history of discrimination and under-representation based on race and sex, then yes I do. Jobs and opportunities have long been offered on those criteria, only in a conservative and negative way. Should we take steps to redress a long imbalance on ...

You’ve stopped short of answering my question on the race and sex stuff though. I’m really interested in your thoughts on whether they have the same qualities as the socio economic piece. If what you are asking is, do I think there is long history of discrimination and under-representation based on...

No there isn’t. You just think it’s a point of principle because that’s what we all do, subconsciously, to justify our positions. What level of disability do we allow parking spaces for? Why that level? If the disability isn’t one that’s visible, does that count? If it’s self inflicted from a car c...

The thing that pisses me off about all of these things is how lacking in critical thinking the people who've decided, or been influenced that what they're against, is a, "bad thing" ! Lets start with the simple example discussed, of disabled parking spaces. What is the cost of them ?, a n...

My point here isn’t to agree where on that scale we should be, it’s to agree that we are only arguing about the scale rather than some fundamental difference in principle. No, there’s definitely a principled point. Did you look at the comic strip posted before? It refers to everything from race, to...

Yeah, I think I can get on board with that being equity. And it could be a good way of assessing the other equity programmes at the minute. You can means test socio economic status and the result of helping someone from a low status to a higher status is measurable too. And there isn’t a ratio limi...

Deary me, again that is really good example of equity - that money is not offered to all students, if it were it would be an example of equality Yeah, I think I can get on board with that being equity. And it could be a good way of assessing the other equity programmes at the minute. You can means ...

I’m aware that by offering bursaries etc to enable lower socio economic students to be able to afford uni is a great piece of equality work. But that’s different and something I utterly support. Deary me, again that is really good example of equity - that money is not offered to all students, if it...

I fundamentally oppose the idea that this is lowering standards, if that was really the case then the university would not be reporting that their contextualised offer students were achieving above average results at the uni. You’re making that call on fairly poor, anecdotal evidence. This is part ...

Absolutely agree that we aren’t exploiting the potential talent out there. But lowering standards isn’t a good approach to sorting that for me. The better way in my view is that we should identify the barriers using proper scientific method and work to remove them to allow people to flourish. I fun...

That’s not really where I’m going with it. Basically my point is that we all agree that some groups in society need additional accommodations and assistance. We just disagree which ones. The problem is when people refuse to accept they’re doing that, and insist there’s a point of principle at play,...
