Noble Prize winning "Warmonger" Henry Kissinger dies age 100

Not a film but a documentary.

Andrew Tate: The Man Who Groomed the World?

I reckon he may come up near the top of the list if you Google "Misogyny"

I do like Party gate  

Unfortunately probably spot on. The hijacking of morality 😕

It’s always confused me why people always say “But think of the Children”

Maybe because they don't have a voice in most situations which kind of defines the definition of innocence, the absence of understanding or control.

I remember now it was the imbecile welding in the fireworks factory 🙄

Didn't something similar happen recently during another drill or training exercise?

Have been watching this over the past couple of weeks. Interesting to see how it plays out.

Gee where did you pluck that one from? Under the floorboards 😃

Heinrich Schaefer!!! 😕

I thought it was Aussie Joe Bugner not long after he fought Ali

Evacuation. The exclusive and incredibly moving inside story of Operation Pitting: the British Military's life-or-death race to bring thousands to safety in the evacuation from Afghanistan.

How a few people behind desks can have such a life changing impact on so many.

Back before political correctness went too far and you could punch a dart with Goofy

? That's odd. Board glitch

I see what you mean. Might even be my laptop. I have noticed a annoying lag in it at the moment. I do remember though adding the comment and it not being visible when I returned to the topic so I added it again.

Time for an upgrade me thinks

Oh and I am not sure how to feel my career? 😋.

As the saying goes, you're only as old as the woman you're feeling

I've been under the age of 40 for the last 20 years

Absolute Muppet 🙄

A few years ago Kenny Kennard decided he would change his name for a laugh.

He managed to get a driver’s license under his new name Fu-Kennard but his plan has since backfired after he was informed his new name would not be accepted on a passport.

Fu-Kennard changed his name in 2016, but was denied a new passport in 2019 when his old one expired because his new name “may cause offence”.

He appealed against the HM Passport Office’s verdict three times - but the Home Office has refused to budge.

Fu-Kennard explained he didn’t want to change his name again and resigned himself to the fact he’d never be able to travel overseas for a holiday.

“Now I’m skint with no passport, like a prisoner in my own country. On the one hand, I find the whole thing funny - as do all of my friends. But I’m also finding it hard to believe the name could be construed as anything but funny and slightly ridiculous. It’s just a joke.

“‘Fu-Kennard’ is not offensive, and I object to them denying my chosen name.”

He first changed it to “Coco Kenny” when he was 16, but was forced to change it after he joined the army at age 19 because it was “immature”.

But after eight years of serving his country he decided another change was required.

The official guidelines list a series of “names that may cause outrage or offence” that could be classed as ‘unacceptable’ and not fit for a passport.

They include ‘the use of swear words; sexually explicit references; inappropriate religious connotation; is vulgar, offensive, or libellous to an individual; makes use of a name of a person living or dead which may cause public concern’.

The guidance also states: “This applies to phonetic, as well as actual use of words comprising of part or the entire name.”

Isn't that an example of an oxymoron

I like that 👍

Love when it's kept simple.

I don't read Stickman. Not for any particular reason. 

I get your point though. Sort of a sense of  entitlement based on the belief they deserve special treatment.

I was actually watching this live. Interestingly the course official was a Thai as well. Or at least spoke fluent Thai.

Golfers left fuming after rival's 'blatant cheating' stuns golf world.The Aussie star was made to wait 20 minutes in the final round of the Hong Kong Open.

 

Cameron Smith was caught up in extraordinary scenes in the final round of the Hong Kong Open on Sunday, with the actions of playing partner Phachara Khongwatmai leaving the golf world stunned. The Aussie star had to settle for second place behind New Zealander Ben Campbell, but it was the brazen conduct of Khongwatmai that drew all the attention.

The Thai player had a one-shot lead over Smith with three holes to play, but things took a staggering turn on the 16th. Khongwatmai sprayed his drive into some thick bushes off the fairway on the par-4 hole, and then failed in his first attempt to hack it out.

He then sparked an extraordinary 20-minute delay as he tried to convince officials to give him an 'unplayable lie', effectively holding the tournament to ransom as he agonised over his next move. Smith and Campbell were left fuming over the delay, with both appearing very perturbed by Khongwatmai's conduct.

 

  Khongwatmai appeared to contravene the rules when he brazenly broke some tree branches in order to get a better shot, with Campbell protesting his rival's actions. “He can’t stand all over this, can he?” the Kiwi said. “I think you need to get another official. He’s broken these branches here … Look at that, these just got broken.”

The TV commentators couldn't believe what they were seeing. "I've never seen this before," one said. "You get the impression his playing partners are not happy." Fans were also left stunned on social media, with one labelling Khongwatmai's actions "blatant cheating".

No need to avoid just don't engage.

Not sure what the big deal is here

Could never quiet understand the history of Souff Afrika. Dutch rule, Brit rule, Dutch rule, Brit rule. Was sort of like neither were really willing to fight hard enough for it.
