Thanks @Spandauer

From CNN just now-

" Israel said this morning that the US and Israeli strikes on Iran will “increase significantly” this week, despite President Donald Trump saying that he is considering “winding down” US military efforts in the Middle East."

I was going to say it would be good if they could at least sing from the same hymn sheet, but then I remembered... they don't.

Thanks for the new thread @Spandauer .

I'm now going to wash my car and do some weed killing. There might also be some loud Latin American music on in the background ... and even daytime drinking involved
...
before it's rinse and repeat time. <sigh>

I thought that is what the media like about Trump ?

When it was Biden the news media had nowt to do. Just boring internal politics stuff.

Trump really hasn't got the memo that Israel has a completely different agenda to him. Actually Trump hasn't got an agenda, he hasn't even got an ag (thank you Phoebe Buffay)

Out enjoying the sun? I'm staying inside in the AC today because it's going to be hotter than a popcorn fart out there. Looks like we're headed for another drought. Naturally I blame Biden and Obama. Those woke Dems are messing with the weather again!!!

I have the best pull out game. No one pulls out better than me.
Re Cuba - I think his intent there is to just starve the country into oblivion then waltz in as “saviour” handing out merch.
MAGA hats and paper towels?

I have to say if there is ever loo roll with DT's silhouette on I might be tempted.

Also need to wash my car in anticipation of petrol prices rising so high I won't be able to use it and make it mucky again. It shall be an objet d'art.

Thanks @Spandauer for the new thread. My lovely friend of over 30 years, is going to be a grandma - her preference as a title. Her daughter and my daughter have known each other since babies and those were such happy days 🥰

Good news is always welcome.

Us Limeys need all the vitamin D we can get. (That or a vat of Drumpf's creosote.)

But agree - temperatures in Ca and Az etc look very worrying so early in the year. DH's family in Az had temps over 38C/100F yesterday.

It's occurred to me that Scrotus possibly wants 'out', but that Bibi just keeps pulling him deeper into this pile of shit. Scrotus seems to say "We've won!!" and then Bibi says "More attacks" and Scrotus pivots 180°. Makes me wonder what Bibi may have on him or if he's just that good on 'playing' Scrotus' ego.

As far as Cuba, I admit I don't know that much about Cuba's current relationship with the Kremlin. Certainly back in 1962 (during the height of the Cold War) they were considered important and strategic to Russia as well as a serious threat to the US, but perhaps not so much now. Would Putey bother getting involved? Would Scrotus risk angering his feudal master to build a few casinos and hotels in Havana?

Personally I don't want Mangopoop anywhere near my nether regions, especially not with pursed lips or an erect finger.
🤮😬
It's very hot in Bristol UK today and a few days of zero % rain. Too soon (although I am enjoying it and painting a garden mural!)
As Tom Lehrer said - We will all fry together when we fry - he meant bombs but who knows what's gonna get us first, the wars or the weather?

thanks for the thread.

bloodredfeaturewall · 21/03/2026 14:24

pleasant spring day where I am today.
saw the first storch on my bike ride cut short because farmers were spreading muck of a certain familiar colour aren't there rumours that he stinks?

thanks for the new thread

Trump Threatens Airstrikes On U.S. Gas Stations

Trump Threatens Airstrikes On U.S. Gas Stations

Well, Israel have been doing that in Beirut. They said they were Hezbollah controlled.

No matter what they bomb, they always find something else that need to be bombed.

According to Sky, the US say they have bombed 8000 military targets in Iran, But apart from a couple of "coastal bunkers", they don't really say what they are targeting.

Ohh, 15 mins ago on Sky:

"Several explosions have been reported at the US-owned Juffair military base in Bahrain, according to the Iranian state Tasnim news agency."

That has sort of been confirmed on Telegram apparently, but all these authoritarian states, inc the US, are in full on "Tis but a graze" mode.

Why can't they all just go to that field at Armageddon, and do the hand to hand thing ? The rest of us can get some beer in and watch it on the telly.

And if they want, they can do best of three, of five, of seven..... no matter. The rest of us can just carry on.
