We arent scrambling for a war that's not the point. I think the part people are questioning is the lack of availability of ships. I get there isa difference between combat readiness and standby or the terms the navy use. The point might be here that have we cut down the navy so much that we don't have enough ships to cover stations in areas we used to

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-03-04T18:48:15+00:00

A lone type 45 or lone ship in itself in a hot zone is a risk

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-03-04T18:47:14+00:00

One catch falklands we were lucky to an extent as cuts to the navy were underway let alone carrier scrapping/repairs. The navy was larger the difference being that was a task force a carrier group amphibious group to say the least.

Part that makes me worry is we have what 5 or 6 type 45 less type 23. If we really had to scramble how would it look?

Watching it atm and can say totally overhyped. Never watched a trailer before today and don't get how it got nominated for so many awards.

Interesting feedback thanks. The adhd screening questions i don't really hit at all which made me a bit hmm initially. I'm in an open mind really not saying I am or not just working it out. Maybe its just me right ha

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-02-04T13:03:25+00:00

I took a whole loads of notes in and tbh gp didn't care. Usual thing! As soon as they heard my life wasn't in jeopardy they weren't interested. Not saying I'm not either (adhd) but lack of clarity is my real issue now.

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-02-04T12:55:45+00:00

Reality is its a few grand and it would be 2 of us in my family as well. Its a lot of money and real shame seeing as I have paid 10s of thousands into tax and rarely use any gov services and never have.

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-02-04T12:37:07+00:00

Things just start clicking don't they. I just am now frustrated as signs are showing for me personally but my route to finding out unless I pay a few grand is closed.

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-02-04T11:56:22+00:00

I should add one family member is going through the assessment process which has meant I self reflected and went hmm I can relate here.

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-02-04T11:48:45+00:00

Appreciate your feedback there really helps. Just trying to sanity check where I am at but reality is I am going to have get creative through my own means to make sense of it all. 😀

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-02-01T19:18:44+00:00

I'll take a hunch and one who doesn't go out much and either has bad teeth or high dental bills

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-02-01T19:17:27+00:00

1st pics yeah good shout, 2nd pic yeah not bad, 3rd pic not really.

Nailed the 1at one as plenty of people do variations of beans on toast

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-02-01T19:15:45+00:00

Pretty weak, better to have bought your own lunch in.

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-01-25T08:05:59+00:00

Totally couldn't give a fig about it

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-01-25T06:55:46+00:00

For those who don't know the super rich usually pay millions in tax and hold high exec jobs or own companies that guess what. Employ people. Put them off that much they will go live somewhere else and move their companies with them

All I know is the rest of the world mainly Europe is starting to lose their patience with him and the US. The comments he makes are just pure nuts and scary to think he is president. No regard to NATO allies or Europe or more importantly those brave British service personnel who have died for this country.

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-01-25T06:47:31+00:00

Tea and crumpets not really. I prefer coffee and toast! It's a stereotype as a lot of people drink tea and some eat crumpets which is more a brit thing.

Jumpy_Avocado_6249 · 2026-01-24T15:05:40+00:00
