    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    All Israeli citizens are required to serve a period and are then on reserve for a number of years, quite a few years as I recall but I'm not inclined to check the exact period. The exception to this is orthodox Jews or whatever they're called, and Arabs who have Israeli citizenship, of which...

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    The Israelis bombarded Iran with warnings in Parsi for the population to avoid using trains today, and to avoid being near railway lines and bridges. Can anyone name one other army in the world that goes to those lengths to reduce civilian casualties.

    Don't get me wrong, I do believe that Iran shouldn’t have nuclear weapons..

    many would say it shortened the war and saved many lives by doing so. The Japanese weren't going to surrender.

    They've publicly declared their intent to destroy both the great satan and the little satan. (US and Israel).

    What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby?

    The ones our council are clearing are usually sunken wrecks. Worth enquiring round boatyards though. Although cheap, I doubt many are fianancially viable.

    What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby?

    Kept our first boat at Cobbs Quay in Hamworthy, 2 years maybe getting on for 3 before we moved it up to North Wales. Always enjoyed our time at Poole.

    What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby?

    We looked at Jag 25's but found them a bit cramped, I'd have probably gone for a 27 if I'd seen one, I think they were based on the American Catalinas. That used to be a cheap place to buy a boat, America.

    What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby?

    For many years they tended to appreciate in value, when we first bought our Westerly Griffon we paid about £17k, sold it at a bad time and got about 12k for it which was the price new. That boat would have been almost about 30 years old by then. Cornwall council are allocating funds...

    Need help with damp!

    Most victorian houses of than era won't have a dpm but the airflow under the timber joists normally keeps everything dry, except for the hallway where they lay a solid floor to lay the ornamental tiles on. Looks like a lot of work has been done on the bay, maybe a later dpm added, silicone...

    What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby?

    When I was first thinking about a boat, I was quite shocked when I obtained my first insurance quote, I think from memory at the Earls Court Boat show, might have been Southampton. Do you have any experience?, 'not really' Do you have any qualifications, 'not to speak of but I'm going to do...

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    Always, since he broke the news about 12 year olds plenty of mainstream media have gone with the story, presumably after fact checking. Amnesty Int'l have reported on it too. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2026/04/iran-recruitment-of-child-soldiers-as-young-as-12-amounts-to-a-war-crime/
