@lady_valor_07 Oddly enough, it might be Dolph Lundgren. Dolph is the only one of those five never to have been nominated for an individual Golden Raspberry.

@SNAFU_Sara One option is taking Fiji Airlines, breaks the trip into a 12 hour segment and a 4 hour segment. Isn’t ideal, but an option. But yeah, the Pacific is vast.

Me googling the cost of first class form LAX to SYD knowing it will probably be more than the entire trip, but I don’t think I can do 15 hours in economy. 😭 What’s it like not having back pain?

Boris Johnson explains that in 1979 the Iranians paid £400 million for some tanks, but the British didn't deliver Today, adjusted for inflation and with basic rate of interest, that's a debt of around £10 billion

@DirtyLeg79 @JessieTweeting Two things are constant, and in constant tension. The need to empower junior leaders, and the desire for complete control. The same GOFOs who talk about “power to the edge” will then spend their whole day signing travel authorizations for Corporals.

Warfare has changed. Whatever next conflict Canada finds itself in, it will be more lethal and young Lieutenants and Sergeants will be making life/death calls. Yet leaders are too scared today to let go of the reigns and accept more risk everywhere - from cyber, to comms.

@steffanwatkins @davidpugliese @CAFinUS The smartest thing DND/CAF could do is to create an internal social media influencer program led by younger soldiers at the tactical level. That scares leaders though and highlights the major issue plaguing the forces today - lack of commands’ trust to give soldiers rope.

@RuiAgo94 @topskillsportuk Iraq absolutely has history in football. Winning the 2007 Asian Cup is a recent success, but historically they were an important footballing nation in the region.

@topskillsportuk Iran and Iraq have never had history in football. Two teams that will not be missed. I hope Bolivia gets the classification, the Bolivians are eager to play a World Cup after decades.

🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: Iraq are set to withdraw from the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, following Iran's official pull-out. 😳❌⚠️ Citing major safety concerns, the Iraqi FA no longer feels the team will be safe to travel for the tournament. They had previously requested FIFA to postpone their March 31st match in Mexico but are now seriously considering a complete withdrawal. Spain, Turkey, and Germany are also questioning the choice of the United States as host nation. The 2026 World Cup is rapidly descending into crisis.

@CanadianAesth The Canadian Army has 16 separate Scottish regiments. The British Army has to make do with 3 and a half — Scots Guards, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, Royal Regiment of Scotland and half of the Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry. We do love a kilt.

@Angry_Staffer That probably won’t create another insurgency. It’ll probably create about four insurgencies: Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Bahrain. Maybe more.

He’s going to declare victory and leave. This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration. Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.

@DanielJHannan Hard to make an argument for New Zealand making that shortlist of ‘chief realms’ without Papua New Guinea also making the list. PNG has twice the population of NZ.

In 1926, George V’s chief ministers met at the Westminster Conference to begin the transformation of the British Empire into the Commonwealth. His great-grandson should mark the centenary by inviting the prime ministers of his four chief realms to inaugurate CANZUK.

@Fremond_ It is an elegant solution to corruption. Basically, if you’re rich enough, you will be conscripted into government, so there’s no reason for you to be bribing and buying politicians.

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

@8ballskinny Because weighing people’s humiliating and only Fiji Air does it. Setting a reasonable weight limit on suitcases also prevents injures for baggage handlers. That woman taking your ID at the ticket counter has to be able to lift it.
