20. Lady called Kelly on X

“Trump did not fly to Washington, D.C. on Air Force One. The term “Air Force One” is specifically used when the sitting POTUS is aboard an Air Force aircraft. He flew on a government plane, which was referred to as “SAM47” (Special Air Mission 47) or a C-32, a modified Boeing 757-200 used for government officials but not designated as Air Force One, because it wasn’t carrying the current president.” https://gazette.com/news/us-world/trump-flies-on-air-force-plane-to-washington-as-biden-sticks-to-tradition/article_d62a08c2-5a33-57b7-b2de-3e0dfda9fb0d.html

Saturday [15 till close of play]

(1607) Evening all.

 

19. If I promise to run a nice classical piece tomorrow morning

… cut me some slack this evening with these two covers. Was listening to Ducks Deluxe with I Fought the Law and I’d call that an improvement, quite different to the Bobby Fuller version. Ditto with CCR and I Put a Spell … that’s one thing.

Another is when quite a few musicians get tgether and try to recreate almost the same sound … that’s more difficult. These two below, imho, do a pretty good job.

18. Snowdrops are apparently appearing

… bluebells not far behind.

17. Chanel on a dirty trick sniffed out

11. Vigilance

… quite different to vigilante. Vigilance is 270 degree vision, noticing and filing, placing yourself into a middling place where you say … yes, show me the snippet and if it can be corroborated, well there it is … it goes into the mix. For example:


10. Ian J (also at 941)

Angry rant here:

I haven’t seen any reports of this in the British Propaganda machine, although it happened on Thursday – and whoever asked us in the UK if we wanted to prolong the Ukraine war? – certainly not 2Tier! It’s acts like this by our useless politicians, ‘just’ obeying orders as usual, that disgust me about the one-party state that Britain has become.

Our greedy ‘neocon elites’ seem to be trying to start their own war with russia (after commiting us to completely unachievable goals and promising $300Billion (from where?) to the most corrupt state in Europe) just to gain control of their mineral resources..

a. from RT:

Kremlin reacts to UK plans for military build-up in Ukraine

‘The 100-year bilateral agreement, signed by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday, states that the two nations will “explore options for deploying and maintaining defense infrastructure in Ukraine, including military bases, logistics depots, reserve military equipment storage facilities and war reserve stockpiles.”

The UK has been one of the most vocal supporters of Kiev’s war effort. In the 100-year agreement, it has committed to no less than £3 billion ($3.66 billion) in annual military assistance to Ukraine until financial year 2030/31.’

    b. from Southfront

    ‘Kiev found itself a new supreme patron. Expectedly, it turned out to be Great Britain. Zelensky and the kingdom’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a 100-year strategic partnership agreement.

    As part of it, London will allocate 3 billion dollars from frozen Russian assets to Kiev, transfer 150 barrels of artillery, expand the training of the Ukrainian military and help in the creation of long-range weapons.

    Britain will also become a key partner for the Ukrainian energy sector, meaning it will participate in the extraction of critical minerals and the production of “green steel.” Military cooperation between the two countries will be strengthened in the field of maritime security through a new structure to enhance the security in the Azov, Baltic and Black Seas.’
