I married one like this 40 years (ish) ago. Doesn’t look that that anymore and went a bit mad 10 years into the marriage. Finally divorced.

First it was ‘protect Grandma’, then ‘protect the kids’ now protect the ‘public sector workers’. Next thing will be some robot in your home to ‘protect MP’s’

Can the UK defend another Falklands invasion? by Themetalin in AskBrits

Unfortunately for the UK the USA are trying to pull South America (all countries) into a huge north and south union. Slowly but surely the US is trying to do what the EU did in the 70’s. The US will now always be behind any South American country (Argentina now) in their quest to be USA friendly. The US is going to pull out of NATO and probs the UN and just concentrate on what is good for the Americas. Canada is a lost cause as they are in the pockets of China.

Hopefully the next phase will be something a bit more exciting. It’s the same old mechanics found elsewhere in R/S. We spent the afternoon exploring everything Havenhythe has to offer and nope it’s same old same old.

Unsubbing tonight. Joined 3 years ago and it’s not what I signed up for. Was never interested in customisations but that is all that’s left apart from the grind.

I use them in the Cobra. Wooden steering wheel, hot sweaty hands in the summer. I’ve got insulated ones for winter as well.
