Nothing's changed in here then, these past 2 weeks. I'm reading things but am to weak to join in, what with being back in the real world and everything.

On holiday. Bye back in 2 weeks

That reminds me of that old "essex girl" joke Why do they wear Knickers Answer: To keep their ankles warm

The difference between Hezbollah and the IRA is that the IRA only wanted the british out of Ireland not England as well, if they had we would all still be fighting and the things you suggest would be appropriate to what would be a total war. Hezbollah want's Israel out of Israel, so there's not...

I think you could well be right. The more I look at it the more convinced am that America has decided to make a stand, rightly or wrongly, against Iran here. It must be an attractive prospect. Israeli troops do the dying and they both get the political benefit. They are both engaged in wars in...

This is starting to look like it is better thought out than it seems. Maybe Hezbollah while conducting a small ambush have walked into a bigger one. They are saying that they didn't expect the extent of the Israeli response and the Uk USA and Israel seem to have a remakably well thought out line...

One of the things you don't much want on a family forum are bad tempered debates that go on and on covering the same old ground You have made your point BAS, you could just chill out now. It's getting to the point where people can't post without you jumping down their throats. You'r turning...

It's a pretty sure bet that if any lobs a nuke this century it will be in the middle east or pakistan/India.

BAS I agree. Hezbollah filled the vacum left after the defeat of the PLO and the Israeli withdrawal. I don't think it's acceptable for people to say this sort of thing is ok. It isn't but people say things on the net that they don't always mean or think through. Some of it's intended to be...

I agree hez are viewed as a legitimate resistance in the arab world but, they would support a gorilla if it wanted to destroy Israel. You have to ask what they are resisting. Israel left lebanon in 2000 and by and large has left them alone since, so their resistance is in fact against Israels...

I wll answer that later BAS. I haven't got time now

Hezbollah is a client organisation of Iran, set up by an Iranian cleric in the 1980's. They invented the suicide truck bombing which was used to kill 100 or so US marines and about 50 French paratropers. They were responsible for the kidnappings of Terry Waite and the other Lebanese hostages...

Did you get them pregnant

Interesting to see that the filter thingy doesn't pick up gobshite. Also the Mods are having a rest in this thread. perhaps it's the heat Gobshite, gobshite, gobshite Oh bolox it does work

I agree with Joe, we are frightened of our own shadows nowadays. Go to Spain or Italy in August, it's this hot and the locals are prancing about in jeans and t shirts. When I was a kid I just ran about at school until I got sunstroke and fell over. There were always kids in matrons room who had...

The problem any arab country has with using nukes on Israel is that they want the land back, it wouldn't be much use after they nuke it. Israel wouldn't feel the same about eg, Damascus so in a way they have an advantage.

America is footing the bill. We are heading towards a new type of cold war where America uses Isreal as an ally against the forces of Islamic expansionism and nation building in the area. The question will be whether Iran will ever feel strong enough to directly confront Israel, with or...

This may interest anyone who wants an Israeli websites perspective on the military and intelligence side of things http://www.debka.com/

I'm not sure how to put this without it sounding racist but, I sometimes wonder if part of the problem in the middle east has to do with the macho culture in arab society where if you are confronting your enemy any concession is seen as a weakness. The Israeli's certainly believe this and part...

It's an expensive balls up .They needed thousands of inspectors and will only have a few hundred so it was never going to work The real agenda is to get compliance with EU directives by having a home energy certficate. You will still have to have someone to prepare this as part of the pack...
