As always, countries don't have friends, they have interests.

Pakistan's Chinese SAM's getting some real action on European kit... a lot of nations will be taking note. Interesting so many were shot down.... either a false sense of confidence in Indian battle posture, or Pakistan got some interesting training from the Chinese. I'd be surprised they went into t...

easy one just dont buy tickets!

Or... be tactful... sign up as a fan before tickets are announced and get priority ticket..

Took 20 mins on Friday to get 2 sets of 4, for me and the partner, at face value.

What are your requirements? If it's single engine, to and from somewhere in the UK (and Europe) .... LAPL will do just fine (should also be cheaper and quicker to achieve).. If you ever have the ambition to fly outside of Europe, or bigger planes, inside UK and around the world, you'll need the PPL....

I am... I wear an anorak for good measure... sometimes I open a window to let the rain in and look at the screen with binoculars, if I'm feeling adventurous.

The Uber business model, supply and demand. Pre-sale were all face value But with Uber you can choose Lyft or a regular taxi. If you want to see Oasis you had no choice but to choose Ticketmaster. The Advertising Standards Authority are clearly looking for test cases on this. The Advertising Standa...

You were on the set for the video?

Also in tune with Pune!

No, just saw them on Youtube

Anyone get any tickets? Managed to bag pre-sale

Also, anyone have the tails of the Lynx's in their "D'ye know what I mean" video, so I can add them to the log book

amazing pictures!

Again, it's all slating the move and the party, and no real offerings of what should be done instead. Ok then James this is a idea straight of the top of my head and i can probably pre guess the reaction . What if every person currently in employment were told that the government where going to tak...

The Energy Price cap is predicted to rise 10%, it seems. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/latesttip/?anchor=hiya&utm_source=MSE_Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=30-Jul-24-fed56aac7404741be7b-66a93854e14cd6c3e6723b9148df6426&source=CRM-MSETIP-fed56aac7404741be7b&utm_campaign=nt-highlights&utm_c...

Also worth noting.... the cut would mean between £100-£300 pounds lost to a pensioner (they still get the cost of living allowance currently). Considering energy rates are going down and are expected to be close to half the costs of last Winter's tariffs. If they were technically using this to actua...

Having had time to reflect on the Government's decision, I feel that it is a little too draconian to be too acceptable. Possibly a little more friendly, without costing too much money, would have been to continue the payments to the over 80's, [me] giving them an alternative to opt out of the payme...

Oh dear, how are those trips to Greece, Germany, RIAT and elsewhere going to be funded now

I don't see the issue with it.... benefits should be means tested, not simply handed out. If someone has the means to pay for their own heat, should they not do so? Coming from the opposite side of retirement (which is a long way yet) .... we have it drilled into us to make sure we have our private ...

Things no better on the railways....search for "Angry Trainspotter on the Nene Valley Railway" on youtube I read a post on Twitter about a local trainspotter giving out because the train driver didn't want to be filmed and asked not to be...
