Wow that sounds both interesting but difficult to understand, are you joking or can you explain what you mean because I am clueless ?

South Africa just won so they through to the semi-finals, so the last 4 teams are NZ, Wales, England and SA SA plays Wales next and hopefully England beats NZ next weekend .......a SA vs England final will be ideal

That definitely should concern you....seriously

Huge weekend for the Rugby World Cup and numerous games England is first team through to semi-finals , New Zealand vs Ireland and of course the most important game tomorrow, South Africa vs Japan. We should win but the courageous Japanese shouldnt be underestimated

I agree it has been incredibly frustrating and laborious but I think we are near the end of whole " do we leave with no deal or with a deal " interminable exchanges that have become relatively commonplace But Gorthfuscious today is still an important vote because of the 31 October " Johnson " deadline

https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu/brexit-day-of-reckoning-parliament-to-vote-on-johnsons-deal-idUKKBN1WX2M6?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews Today is a huge and important day for Johnson's BREXIT deal to get passed through the UK parliament Firstly its the first time in over 30 years the UK parliament has met on a Saturday so this should highlight the importance of this vote, basically Boris needs 320 votes to support his new deal with the EU. But to achieve this number you will have to have some opposition party votes supporting Johnson to get to the number so this means people from Labor, SNP, DUP and Independents will have to be convinced. Very exciting development

Its slightly old but Im very excited about the new HBO Watchmen

Its a stunning day today so we going to the CPT Waterfront and a restaurant called Gibsons which is an American theme diner which specializes in Burgers and Ribs...they have an amazing burger selection and the view of the harbor is amazing and adds to the general atmosphere https://gibsonsburgers.co.za/

You must be close to the Kurds Hoon, my condolences... the ME is a complicated place. Sometimes its literally " the Devil we know "

As I have mentioned in the past I am loving my RTX 2080 Ti, I am playing Metro Exodus at the moment and I can run the game at maximum settings

It sounds like you trying to recreate history, the West won....dont be a hater

My first CPT fondue night went really well, I used 3 specific Swiss cheeses which were Gruyere, Emmenthal and Raclette which was well received and I even added the traditional tot of Kirsch which is a cherry flavored brandy\liqueur But I made one mistake, I used too much Methylated Spirits in the burner initially so I had to fight a few minor fires once I light it but then it went well

But also many Democratic candidates have IMO offered many concerning policy ideas that you raise, so its not like you making them up But as I have mentioned in the past these extreme left policy suggestions are expensive or unrealistic or a combination of both of these. They basically " too socialist" if I can use a metaphor

Thanks for giving your opinion, I am not I see everything in the same way but its insightful and reasonable

Im also a little confused by what Hurlshot is alluding to, if I had to guess its because he thinks the way you described Bernies heart attack was callous and insensitive ...but Im not 100 % sure because I thought your comment was fine? Thats one of the reasons why I love the Internet and forums like this , ostensibly I can get involved in so many discussions and read interesting viewpoints from people who normally in RL I might feel it would be rude or lack decorum to participate in a certain debate because its not about me at all. This is what a community is guys

Yes but Trump is correct, the Kurds didnt help the USA in WW1 or the American Civil War....what does America owe them anyway But this just confirms what we already know, Trump has a very limited understanding of history and current events based on historical precedent outside the USA . No surprise really

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/turkey-syria-border-latest-updates-191008131745495.html Turkey has began its invasion of Northern Syria with the objective of defeating the Kurdish " terrorists " and repatriating Syrians who have been living in refugee camps in Turkey Its understandable if you consider the Turkish position, I just feel sorry for the Kurds who helped fight against ISIS

I finally found a decent cheese fondue set in Cpt and I bought it last week, tonight Im inviting my neighbor's over for a fondue and some drinks. Its nice living in an apartment in the sense you get to know your neighbors much easily than when I lived in a townhouse Its very social having a fondue and tonight should be great fun

By that argument then we shouldnt trust any politicians, just because someone is a career politician it doesnt mean they cant be trusted on most things

I didnt see the part where anyone asked him any questions but he didnt seem very happy overall....his facial expressions just made me laugh

Gorthfuscious !!!! Im shocked, a man of your profound insight and intellectualism relying on information from snake charmers, iconoclasts and pagans Bookies dont understand the nuance, Warren will never defeat Trump so lets not even focus on her as the right Democratic candidate

Thanks for sharing, I need sometime to ponder your viewpoint But one positive consideration, I agree with much of what Gromnir says but no one is a true prognosticator especially when it comes to the Trump presidency. But what if I told you things in the USA could quite easily return to " normal" once Trump is gone. Trump is an anomaly and I doubt we will ever see someone quite like him again...so the US Democracy will survive at worst case another 6 years of Trump I

GD, you know I like to get your opinion on these matters When you say "burn " I assume you mean metaphorically ? And if not what do you mean by that, for example the principle of any Democracy never fails. Democracies fail sometimes due to failure of other things that need to be implemented, like the importance of a Constitution and a freedom of speech But the idea of Democracy and what that gives us as citizens and how we have a better overall life generally has many examples but of course that doesnt mean people cant have valid criticisms so just to summarize what are your biggest concerns ?

I had Lamb Shank last night for dinner at a Mediterranean theme restaurant it was good as you would expect But it made me think what is favorite type of meat you enjoy eating and or cooking for family and friends...so what is your favorite roast? I love and eat all meat, I like exotic or unusual meat so tripe, sweetbreads and other off cut I love to order when I see it on the menu. But game and venison is also top of my list But saying all that, my favorite meat meal must be Roast Pork with crackling, gravy and apple sauce and all other good things that come with it

Gromnir I havent read any previous posts you made about the question I want to get your opinion on so I apologize if you have already answered this But legally and based on historical precedent do you think the Democrats can impeach Trump around the Ukrainian phone call, the basic argument seems to be " a US president cannot get other countries to interfere in the US election process in any way ". So when Trump expected Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden and then literally held back on aid to Ukraine this seems like a real impeachable offense because this would be used to undermine Joe Biden in 2020 But is this correct legally and what makes sense, in other words you could inadvertently strength Trump at the end if he is not found guilty like when Bill Clinton became more popular at the end of his impeachment
