Me: so what will my new crown be made of?
Dentist: it’s a material called Lithium Disilicate.
Me: ooh that’s my favourite disilicate.

Me: so I’ll just make an appointment yeah?
Oof, that quote from Victoria Hervey. Classy….
Hark the Triumph Herald angels sing.
What’s your sign?
Looks like he’ll be wearing the white baseball cap to more honour parades then.
Could it be the same two men?
His *first* son must be so pissed off. I imagine family barbecues will be unbearable.
Whoa, steady on…..actually you may have a point.
He’s not even a Bush.
From FT comments
Pakistan sank an Indian frigate in 1971 using torpedoes too.
Wouldn’t advise him to get long-life milk in the weekend big shop.
Bloody hell. ‘71 was a good year, wasn’t it?
I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?
Careful, Laurie might stumble back on this thread and choose to call you names in the dead of night.
Of course, he’s ideologically pure, so it’s OK when he does it.
Oh bless, change the goalposts and resort to personal insults.
You’re just not very good at this, are you Laurie?
Or: my neighbour *actually has* attacked me, so I’m going to stop him from doing it again.
I’m sorry you’re having difficulty with this concept Laurie. Perhaps you can write everyone involved a sharply-worded note (spoil yourself: stick an emoji in).

Drones and missiles were already heading towards Cyprus.
It seems reactive, not pre-emptive. Your mileage may vary.
Degrading someone’s ability to attack, Laurie. It’s an acceptable form of defence.
(Would it help if I used an emoji too? I’m 55 and would seem odd, but if that’s what floats your boat…)
I hold no brief for Israel or the US in this. But if Iran takes shots at otherwise uninvolved states (and UK territory) are we no longer allowed to take steps in our defence?
Plus (and I accept you may disagree), the concept of collective defence is an internationally acknowledged concept.
Hello. Are you forgetting that I reminded you the bases on Cyprus are sovereign UK territory? So there *is* a British interest, whether you like it or not.
I mean, as options go, it’s definitely not the worst one.😉
I did, thanks. It make a lot of sense to move them out of danger.
And the 16,000-odd people *on* British Overseas Territory? Should they be protected?
The bases on the island of Cyprus are sovereign UK territory. You knew that, didn’t you?
“And they had no Merchant Ivory on the in-flight movie selection.”
…so, given where we are, what would you have us do?
