Those orange and green stripes are best forgotten tbh

Do that many nuclear subs really give us a significant strategic advantage over the 3 we already had? It can't all be aimed at Russia, they must be anticipating more of a global presence..

I know

No. He'll just lob a few missiles.

That's a relief.

Yep - but as with any hardware provider, they'll do everything they can to drive you to their own solutions.

Is that a rhetorical question?

Russia barely managed to invade a country with a 10th of our military which is right next door they won't invade us.

Aye it certainly wouldn’t have harmed to hoy in at least a nod to the orange and green stripes

Talksport posting tweets that Inzaghi is speaking to Newcastle... Are they dumb?

Actually that sound very similar to an experience I had at a restaurant called "El Treno" near York, next to the ECML. Its called " The Sidings" now, presumably new management. Grateful for trainspotting, I was like that lad from YouTube. But even that couldn't make up for seriously the worst service and food I've ever had in the UK. The pizza calzone just looked an anaemic dog turd. I told them I'd only pay for the drinks, which they agreed but were so fucking incompetent they forgot the wine still only charged me half the drinks bill. The TripAdvisor reviews backed up it wasn't a one off.

At least there is separation of hardware though. So much more choice on the Android side. Genuine question too, do Google software products run on Apple? And vice versa?

They're all running a similar business model tbf. Incentivise you choosing their technology by offering free storage up until a threshold where it's more painful to move your data than start paying for it and then start to ramp up the costs. Google are amongst the worst - particularly their email platform.

There’s a Facebook page called disused stations that you’re missing out on @Renton. I follow it for regular updates on the proposed Waverly line extension ie Tweedbank > Carlisle

Chris Harris scared the shit out of him running him round a racetrack in a 911 a wee while back, that was a laugh.

I love his content although I binned off Instagram so haven’t seen him for a while. Seems like a genuinely nice lad and I’ve always liked trains and train journeys. Might subscribe to his YouTube channel

If Russia invaded he’d win the argument

How many nukes do we actually need? Surely what we have is a deterrent enough? This wouldn’t happen on Corbyn’s watch.

She looks about 12… Get thee south 12 miles , sharpish

There will be 20 submarines in total I think, not all nuclear armed. The new ones are being built jointly with Australia and hopefully not full of US hardware and spyware. I dunno "military Keynsianism" may be a good thing?

Took the kids for a late lunch in Berwick on a trip up there a few years ago. They wanted Pizza so we ended up in a place called Limoncellos just down from the Main Street. Were seated, menus dumped on the table, and we waited for someone to take our drinks order. And waited And waited. 20 minutes later I physically grabbed a waiter passing our table and gave our drinks order. Drinks came 10 minutes later, dumped on table, no food order taken from us though. Again, after a daft wait, I grabbed a waiter and gave them our food order. Over an hour later the food turned up! Mine came first, mussels in tomato and chilli , on spaghetti. Over half of them were closed, so before the waiter had time to fuck off, I pulled him and pointed out that half my dish was inedible. He said, “ No, it’s fine, you can still eat them “ I disagreed, strongly. The daft cunt stuck with his idiocy and when he realised I wasn’t budging, he picked out several of the dead ones and opened them with a spoon, offering them to me to smell. Yes, that’s right, the fucking dodge pot STUCK HIS FINGERS IN TO MY PASTA and fished out about three of the dead ones I just looked at Mrs. F who gave the sideways “let’s fuck off” nod, just as the rest of the food arrived. Up we got, I ushered the family out, then told boyo that if he hadn’t stuck his clammy paws in my meal, I’d have waited for a fresh one, but since he did, he could take the whole lot back and fucking whistle for the round of drinks.

Sorry does that mean Trident goes from 3 to 15?

Well, it will be a prime target for Russian nukes if it all goes pear shaped. Boom Town indeed.

I'll wait to see the real thing before passing judgement, but sometimes the simplest designs are the best.

Nuclear powered with nuclear warheads for missiles on board. Basically Barrow will be the only boomtown in the uk
