How Prepared Are We for World War III? | Military Expert Bobby Jones Joins Sam Osterhout This is going to end, contrary to what's being said, on Iran's terms. Either they want to capitulate and eventually give up or they will fight to the absolute bitter end, period.

🚨 MUST WATCH: Military expert Bobby Jones β€”the former Navy Commanding Officer responsible for securing the Strait of Hormuzβ€”breaks down the facts. His warning? This war ends on Iran’s terms. Trump & Hegseth are "way over their heads" in a crisis they can’t control.

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

@ajpbradley.bsky.social was so jealous of the cap that he immediately phoned and placed his order πŸ˜†

I also have one set aside for @motoringjourno.bsky.social (but living in the Cairngorms he may need a supplementary chin strap to stop it blowing off)

A school pal’s dad swapped a Pug 504 estate body onto a Range Rover chassis and we called it the Strange Rover in the early 90s. I’ll DM you my address for the royalty cheques.

As do I, so my MH time is the evening dog walk. That’s not phys, granted. I’m just happy that I’m stronger than I look even if I’ll never be properly happy with what that look is πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I lack the time and the motivation. I have accepted my chicken legs and my phys tends to be helping shove big logs around for my FIL’s firewood hobby.

3rd. It was the gear I selected to drive 40 miles home in when the linkage on my 306 Rallye dismantled itself many years ago.

Pretty sure body weight exercises will never make me β€œripped”

Pretty sure your pills won’t add length & girth while simultaneously shifting man boobs/beer belly.

I am not interested in any train track in any garden.

I now have no interest is googling who Greg Secker is.

Zimmer frames and those seats that lift so you can get out of them more easily?

I am also being offered supplements that profess to (I’m sure) medically impossible results.

Why is it that, all of a sudden, my FB feed is nothing but toy trains and vitamin supplements. I mean, I know I turned 46 recently but I don’t feel ready for either of those interests yet…?

Meta really have borked their algorithm and usability of their socials.

She’s a great dog, our second Collie and even smarter than Cassie who was here before her.

Until you take your first trip, it rattles all the way there, drives you to the brink of insanity, then you park up and discover that the bottle opener has jumped out of the drawer and you’re in a panic to find it to open the wine that you now require for medicinal purposes

Tough match for the boys team today. But we saw everything we needed to know before the kick off when the coaches allowed 2 of their players to pee in the corner of the Astro before the start. πŸ™„

Those who know me will be shocked to discover that I bathed the Yaris today.

But I also washed & vac’d the Ranger. 🀯 Probably only the second ever proper wash it’s ever had. Now I need to empty the hoover bag.

My father was the dealer principal at Harper Motor Company’s commercial division (vans & trucks). In the mid 90s we went from his company car being a Granada Ghia to a 2.0 Mondeo LX. His choice. Tax reasons.

But I dare say that his Mondeos were nicer to drive than the Grannys.

The big change was, IIRC, when you trashed your car you could steal something else.

Apart from the last limo mission. Me & my mate spent far too long completing the game.

Driver was excellent. Driver 2 was possibly the best not-Colin McRae Rally 2 game… ever?
