    Good news

    And the Trump team are probably sweeping up the stocks and shares as their prices plummet, and will pocket $$$$ when he does change his mind and the markets recover.

    Trillions of dollars wiped from stock markets..

    It would be interesting to see how many of the Trump administration are buying these stocks and shares at bargain prices as they plummet. In a couple of weeks/months Trump will begin to reign back on the tariffs and pocket $$$$ when the markets recover.

    Oil tanker v Cargo ship.

    But didn't the colliding ship change course just before it hit? I can understand a closing ship with a constant bearing would generate a warning on the net, but a late change of course would be tough to mitigate.

    Trump is talking sense

    In its 75 years of existence, NATO has not indicated any threat to Russia, or any interest in crossing Russian borders. Putin's allegation that NATO poses a threat to Russia is just his ploy to continue land grabbing.

    Oil tanker v Cargo ship.

    There is very little the anchored ship could have done to avoid the collision. The ship underway should have a bridge team, especially when transiting a busy sea route. The ship at anchor should have a watchkeeper to record regular bearing sightings to check ship is not dragging its anchor.

    Tesla sales crash

    I've been driving a Nissan Xtrail for the last 7 years and has never let me down. Non towing petrol 2WD probably helps as my priority has been the 7 seater for the school runs with my grandchildren. The Tekna top spec with all the bells and buzzers keeps the missus sweet ;) Due to change the...

    Painting Exterior Walls in Winter

    I'm now near completion of my painting of the external walls. What would you recommend spraying on the walls to prevent future staining/growth? The pebbledash has been painted with Armstead Pliolite and the red brick is bare. If you look at my previous pic, you can see how stained the white wall...

    Oil tanker v Cargo ship.

    Sea charts tend to show where the sea bed has cables/pipelines and areas are marked 'No Anchor Permitted' so there is no excuse for dragging anchors damaging the cables.

    1st steps towards peace. Thank you president Trump

    Lets wait to see what Trump's proposal is for the land boundaries for a permanent peace. Zalensky is seeking the return of all land grabbed by Putin. Putin wants to retain all land grabbed and more.

    Oil tanker v Cargo ship.

    A Russian sea captain rams an American tanker loaded with US Air Force jet fuel. It will make for an interesting chat between Trump and Putin during the Ukrainian peace talks.

    Painting Exterior Walls in Winter

    The scaffold is up and I've taken advantage of the warm weather to crack on with the painting. PEBBLEDASH............................Arrrrgggghhhh :evil: Whoever decided pebbledash was a good idea, has never considered its maintenance or painting. I've seriously under estimated the amount of...

    Why is Trump so keen on Putin

    I cant see Putin agreeing to pull back to the Crimea. He will want to keep what he has gained. It will be interesting to see how Trump will face up to Putin regarding boundaries.
