The huns first kit is made in Turkey and second is made in China, evidently quality of both is crap but one worse than other. If we did go with Castore, no way is Mikey not involved with them.

Exactly this, he just came over as utterly useless, irrespective of press manipulation, he had all that time of the Tories shooting themselves in the foot and he just appeared unable to be incisive or to capitalise on what were a series of "tap ins" he was quite simply unelectable to many many people.

Quality is tremendous

They may be, but best option just now, when Indy happens they'll have served their purpose and new parties will appear, they'll be introducing PR as well so even better.

I think we should stop this Italian based nonsense and pretend it never happened, Bruschetta under the carpet as it were. -

Yeah I know they didn't get on, but for plane to have been shot down "intelligence" must have thought they did. Whole thing is preposterous.
-
Aye lets kill loads of innocents instead of waiting and taxiing the plane to a remote part of the airport, grabbing it when it lands, lifting the suspects, suitably bio-hazard suited up etc, and quarantining aforementioned innocents. But no, we'll give up on the political capital of foiling such a plot and commit mass murder instead. Makes Perfect sense.

What with that QC and his bread and broon and this fucker, they're all just taking the piss now !! -
I remember when I was a kid we went to Edinburgh castle and in the chapel there, there are (or were) books of remembrance, never forget looking over at him and he was stood over a book tears streaming down his face, I'm guessing it was his regiments book, mam just ushered me away sort of "come and see some this over here". Strange how memories come back to me, god knows what his memories were
-
As a further aside, other grandfather "went through" as they called it (active service right from 1914 to 1918) was at the Somme and god know what else, wounded a couple of times and he HATED remembrance day, used to bring it back I guess, he would never ever talk about the war all I remember is him coming into the room one time when I was a nipper and the cenotaph thing was on the telly, he spun round and left and I heard him mutter, "I don't need this shit to remember my friends".

Isn't that the point, i.e. the dead, I am not a poppy fascist, but I do and will always wear one (not this fucking early though) and hate how it's been weaponised by the cunts. I wear mine in memory of my great uncle Gordon, who was killed in September 2015, at the battle of Loos, we have all his letters home from when he joined up right through to the telegrams of when he went missing, missing presumed killed and then letters from his mates describing how he supposedly died, both say he died painlessly/instantly, one said he was shot through the heart and one says he was shot in the head, the contradiction makes you wonder ! there's also letters from the mother of his young Lieutenant who was with him/went missing at same time asking my great grandmother if she's heard anything. They're an emotional read, goes from "we'll give the Hun a bloody nose, can't wait until Charlie (my grandfather) can get out here and help" rhetoric - Charlie was 14 but had joined up" through to descriptions of them having to help sort casualties out in shelled villages through to a completely different tone "I really hope Charlie doesn't have to come" and the letters are replaced by small cards with pre-printed "delete which not applicable" choices, I am fine, I have been wounded etc etc. So I'll wear my poppy in the spirit in which it was intended. Gordon has no known grave. Postscript, Charlie never did have to go, when Gordon was killed his mam told the army he was under age and he was discharged because they "officially" knew he was too young, we have photo's of him with his platoon, he's a fucking bairn.

When I was a kid, circa mid 60's, got taken to a county show/exhibition thing in Exhibition Park (aptly named) and one stall was mobbed, bloke was chucking these little flakes into a big chip pan and they'd fluff up like magic (basically quavers before quavers were a thing) had a big audience and loads of "oooh Aaah's" going on, needless to say mam and dad bought some, they tried at home, chip pan had to be up to napalm and indeed they fluffed up but then burned in seconds, if they did get them right they were OK but greasy a fuck.
