Goodwin clutching at straws trying to remain relevant?

Just make sure details are published so I might avoid it like the plague.

Oil is only one cargo using the Straits.

Many other products are shipped in containers.

A pipeline would work, but vulnerable in a war.

And would take years to build.

Once tankers travel round Africa a regular supply will be established. But costlier due to passage times.

327,318,480 litres/ship.
44,000 litres/ road tanker= 7,500 transfers approx.

I've done a rough guesstimate

7,500 road tankers.

So, how many road tankers to transfer one shipping tanker?

Que?

Por favor?

£547,000 seems such a specific amount.

Did he want settlement in another currency?

Maybe somewhere that might be considered a tax haven?

Exactly.

I'd reckoned the premium would be the full replacement price of the vessel, contents and a insurance on crew lives.

So completely unaffordable.

I see US officials have been approaching London insurers asking how the schemes work to see if Trump could underwrite the risks to get movement.

Farage seems to be the only person saying "beaver".

Considering the colloquial use of the term - suggesting hairy female genitalia:

We can imagine where his brain is.

In the gutter.

Why are the US allowed access to SPR when they caused the situation?

They should be denied access to leverage a rapid resolution of their mess.

I want pretty animal images.

If I ever own a banknote, I'll want to frame it to remember the occasion.

A cute fuzzy animal would make the moment more memorable.

Probably wasn't a "Reform" team.

More likely, a local teenager being paid £5.00/1000 copies delivered.

I'd have told him to dump them and claim the money regardless.

This is Boaty McBoatface all over again.

Never ask the public for their opinions.

It only leads to mischief.

Who's gonna lose their jobs dumping blame on US incompetence?

That's Trump's role: being incompetent.

What's a bank note?

Once they have entrenched their position, I expect the overseas owners will demand parity with their overseas franchises.

Back to T20 format, separate mens and women's seasons.

The Hundred has lost it's way, and charm.

I'm following Vitality Blast this year.

Rearranging deck chairs.

Only purpose, saving money.

Who gets less?

Teachers and students.

Sorry, The Hundred has lost it's attraction for me.

Am following Vitality Blast tournaments instead.

Trump demanding removal via Truth Social?

Giant leaps forward in international diplomacy.

Not very good at this politics thing is he?

All I ever hear:

"Sorry,
Sorry,
Sorry."

I usually rebuke the person for apologising, with a cheerful chide and a smile, indicating they have not inconvenienced me in any way.

I wonder who he told when.

Someone has made a killing in the exchanges, as usual.

So Trump's statements yesterday were just a cynical attempt to manipulate markets?

And the markets bought it hook, line and sinker?

Meanwhile his team rain down more munitions on Iran.

Fishing trip.

Don't expect them to catch anything, this is all about maintaining the illusion that fraud took place.

Put it in front of a grand jury by all means, they regularly knock down Trumpian nonsense.

7 days later diesel now 152.9 pence/litre

Up 11 pence/litre in those seven days.

8.00pm California means Eala's match is broadcast at 12.00 noon in the Philippines.

Max publicity for tennis in an opening market.
