Disney have the fifth largest navy in the world by number of craft (750) due to the boats in their parks. Obviously by displacement they're way off.

In 1989 Pepsi had the 6th largest navy in the world when the Soviets traded them  17 Submarines, a cruiser, frigate and a destroyer in return for opening Pizza Huts in the USSR and supplying various products. Unfortunately they scrapped it all rather than do the obvious thing and use them to muscle Coca Cola out of the market.

Sure they didn’t say “You’re really perspiring”? It was pretty warm.

One was in a PM here.  I think I'd have spotted such a spelling issue!

I’m not an apologist for Israel so don’t have a go at me , but this was a put up job. Muslim MP publicly criticises Israel  and then travels there knowing they will be denied entry, also knowing that would make more of a story than if they’d been allowed in.

In an interview, I saw that one of them said, "It's vital that British parliamentarians are able to see the situation in Gaza first hand for themselves."

 

Why is that vital?

Because we're supporting them doing it all?

I don't think that them being MPs means that we unconditionally support them and I don't think that the support of the British public should grant them the right to cross borders unconditionally

A good memory from when dad was alive just popped into my head.

He told me "I got a spare XUD, it's behind the shed"

I go to look behind the shed, wondering if it's perhaps a turbo one.

There's just a large rusty anvil

I return to dad and say "I can't find it, just an anvil"

"Exactly" he says

Was asked to look at a transit in need of a smidge of welding. 

Chap that asked me to look at it said it was just a " hole in the sill" 

Knowing how shit these vans are for rot I expected more. And that this was going to be a waste of time, but went and found said van. Its fucked.

Owner say it needs a  "whole sill"

Kinda Close I guess!

I suppose this fits into the "grin" category.  My landlady came round today (well yesterday now) with her husband to continue the upgrades to my heating system and also to sign some updated tenancy paperwork - she had warned me several times (quite apologetically) that she would have to put the rent up (which was fair enough given that it hadn't gone up for a couple of years and was still below the market rate), so I was expecting quite a chunky increase.  She's put it up by £70 a month, which is actually less than the extra I'll have in my pay packet from this month from my pitiful payrise and the fact that I've finished paying for the bike I bought on the Cycle to Work scheme last year.  So I'm not going to be any worse off (at least not from that perspective - other bills are of course going up as well).

So that's a relief, and a much needed bit of good news this week.
