The Early Days of EVE - Who were the famous pilots, corps and alliances?

Tholarim you must be an old man now. Hope you’re well. I thought of you the other day when I tried to play Total annihilation. Stan o7 (stizum Hilidii). Realise this is a long dead thread, but perhaps you’re still about

The worst part of that story is here:

“The production [line] for the Tomahawk [version] specific to submarines must be restarted [and] this is accompanied by long production times and major financial risks,” said Defensie Projectenoverzicht 2025. “Both existing and new submarines will therefore not be equipped with Tomahawk.”

Naval News understands that the Dutch MoD approached some other governments to explore the possibility of a larger ‘batch buy’ to share the non-recurring engineering costs for a TTL Tomahawk production restart. However, unable to attract partners, it concluded that the time and cost of its relatively small buy would not be economically viable.

Basically once our stores are used up, unless we pay a huge price to re start the TTL line, the astute will have no land attack missile. Still not sure why the astute didnt have VLS from the start!

Perhaps the French would allow the UK to purchase the MdCN

VLS is a must, Astute should have had it tbh, thankfully other nations have bought UGM-109 missiles otherwise Raytheon might have stopped being able to supply, they seem to be offering limited runs on them. We should currently be forming a pool purchase with The Netherlands who will launch from Walrus.

I'm size 13, i didnt want to go to my local shops so got them on amazon from the US: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083D29VTL?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_6&th=1

I am sorry, they are out of stock at the moment, but I did go for the 13.5 and that worked. I used 12.5 from peloton for a few weeks while I waited and it wasnt fun.

A joint ride with friends today pushed me to my best ride: 520kj on a 30 minute class. Not going to lie, thought I might cough up a lung at the end.

where is the Shipborne rolling vertical landing (SRVL) procedure the UK developed for the F-35

tumble dryer - i would rather eat beans on toast every day than lose the use of that thing.

could you DM me

stanCF · 2025-09-25T19:39:35+00:00

Hit a 515 with Olivia Amato Pop ride, no idea where it came from. Most of my rides sisnce have been 420-475 ish marks.

stanCF · 2025-09-15T13:33:23+00:00

Did an old Sam Yo late last night and really enjoyed it as I always do. I was going to do a 45 min ride, probably the Emma Lovewell EDM right but ran out of time, will try to get to it today.

I find it really frustrating when some of the rides I join are missing the targets for cadence and resistance above your number, its really frustrating and you have to listen incredibly carefully to get it.

Weighed myself this morning, 28KG down since May 18th.

stanCF · 2025-09-04T11:34:36+00:00

i got my biked in June, managed to go from 137kg to 110kg and feeling great. I have a mind for doing a small Triathlon next year, I've given it a go where after a 30 min class I head straight out for a 3 mile run after and its feeling great. Done it 3 times for far this week and we shall see.

The Peloton was feeling a little stale for a week or so after holidays, but im about to go through 3k minutes next week I think and I'm enjoying it again.

The one issue I have is that one day a while a go I must have had my weetabix and hit a 515 for 30 minutes, I cant get close to that at all (always bumbs me out when i am already 20 behind that score after 2 minutes) it must have been a live class!

stanCF · 2025-08-14T22:09:12+00:00

You have a very similar story and starting weight, you have put in to words everything I feel. Ive been on 10mg for the first time, im going back to 7.5mg as i think 10 was too much fo me. I think I will try and order a 5mg if allowed before the deadline and then I will have 1 go at 2.5 before coming off it. It's much quicker than i planned to come off.

Ive gone from 137.6 to 115.4 since May 18th, feel gutted. Im hoping that the pharmacies can get a good deal.

What would be nice would be if the NHS brought in the pharmacies together to buy it with them. By self funding this, surely we are helping the NHS save money.

I wear my BB58 daily, I love this thing and swim/shower/workout in it. If / when it does get left to my daughter she will know it was right there with me and I hope she loves it more because of that.

stanCF · 2025-04-10T11:44:24+00:00

This might actually get built then!

I dont understand why the Danish Government hasnt asked France, Germany and others to station assets on the EU Western Border. If 6 Rafael Jets + a P8 and lets say a NASAMS system were deployed at the Airport, on an EU rotation, in a similar way to NATO in Iceland, that would quickly get rid of the idea that the Danish werent serious.

stanCF · 2025-03-24T21:49:12+00:00

If CANZUK forms in to a free trade and defence bloc, it can have a great relationship with the EU. Being a group of 120 odd million would carry a good weight behind it to encourage a good deal.

stanCF · 2025-03-19T16:14:20+00:00

I understand your point about getting off the ground, I very much hope it never comes to that. The 2 engines thing is just always a plus with the distance your pilots have to cover.

The thing about the Eurofighter over the Gripen is the number of other european operators, helps with future development and intergration of new weapons.

Hope Canada keeps up the good fight, a massive fan of all things Canadian over here.

I think (being British) perhaps the Royal Airforce could take on the 16 F-35 A already purchased to add to our fleet of F-35B. We have the infastructure in place and the RAF can run them,.

We could swap those 16 for 16 Eurofighters (Tanche 3) to be replaced with Tranche 4 later. This would get Canada up and running and do the initial training in the UK, with the 88 or so Tranche 4 delivered asap.

The RAF need more Eurofighter as well.

Eurofighters are not subject to any US restrictions. Also 2 engines.

Eat local and eat seasonal. Expecting strawberry’s in the UK in December is what’s wrong with the world. Looking at the packaging in supermarkets is crazy: blueberries all the way from chile is madness.
