The next time Vlad meets with his good friend Donny boy I hope the Ukrainians have a bunch of people with MPADS sitting on each end of the runway during Vlad's departure.

There is another book you probably will like as it gives several examples of aircrew who suffered from Lack of moral fibre and what caused it. The title is absolute crap so when I was given a copy it sat on the shelf for years before I opened it from boredom. It is about time I re-read it. My...

I saw a smaller similar event north of Ft Smith NWT Canada in 71. @#$%^&* scary and the air stank of pine resin before the flash. Here it probably stank of eucalyptus oil before the flash. Really crappy report at Live: Fire jumps a kilometre over water, disaster declared for NSW regions

If I win the lottery I will give at least 95% to Ukraine with the condition that not one cent is spent in the USA. Mi Today and ongoing.

It is not just Abysmal Intelligence that is posting crap, This one is on pinterest.

Moderators remove the second paragraph if you consider this too political. Related. I believe this would never have happened if both houses of the US Congress had passed the Russia sanctions package that over 90% of the members have signed up to months ago, but one man, and one man only, is...

Except the Australian brown snakes which are very aggressive at certain times. If you see them you stop and freeze until they leave.

The story below in larger bold print. This newsletter requires that the complete newsletter be posted instead of any extracts so here it is. Other stories are worth reading but this was the one that got me steamed. EDIT Whoops - not allowed to repost it. I will find the source story at WNBC...

But if stepped on in long grass snakes will automatically defend themselves. And the worst snake to handle or step on are the new bournes (the size of a large worm) which have a full dose of venom but do not know that only a small amount is required to kill a person. Add to that the average...
