We have a hate filled government with hate filled ministers & MPs!
They hate you, they hate immigrants, they hate the poor, they hate the NHS, they hate the Unions, they hate your rights, they hate your freedoms, they even hate each other!

The British Ministry of Defence in its latest update said there is a "realistic possibility" Russia could extend the upper age for military conscription from 27 to 30 in its next draft.
The ministry claimed the move would allow Moscow to mobilize more future soldiers without alarming the general population with another round of partial mobilization.
According to Andrey Kartapolov, the head of the Russian State Duma Defence Committee, there is a chance the increase would raise the number of new servicemen by 30%.

sidecar racing .....much more fun to watch

Greeves Hawkstone was a scrambler bike

The great escape.......motorcycle scene.

All these scenes weren't in the original script, McQueen got drunk one night and said he'd quit if he didn't get to have some fun on a motorbike. Thank god they're there, can't imagine the film without them..

My first m/bike was a 1958 secondhand Triumph Tiger club.
Happy days......

“Nobody would notice if the Civil Service went on strike,” Jacob Rees-Mogg says. Except, of course, everyone in the country would notice as large portions of it would break down rather quickly. What no one would notice is if Jacob Rees-Mogg went on strike.

You're way way ahead of me.
I heard about on the beeb a week ago and looked at some YOU-TUBE vids to check it out.
They all seem to come from a free origination called OPENAI

Apparently their is another A1 program that checks student essays to see if it was created by CHATGPT.
World getting madder and madder with new technologies speeding up!

"and a lot of single people are getting together and some will end up as couples. "

6 lads for every girl.......one child policy backfires.

This is a better link

Amazing sites being set up using AI and they are FREE. So what's the catch!
Another is CHATGPT that gives answers to questions and engages in conversations

"LONDON, March 8 (Reuters) - The London Metal Exchange (LME) was forced to halt nickel trading and cancel trades after prices doubled on Tuesday to more than $100,000 per tonne in a surge sources blamed on short covering by one of the world's top producers.
China's Tsingshan Holding Group, one of the world's top nickel and stainless steel producers, had been building a short position in nickel since last year, betting prices would fall, three sources familiar with the matter said.

Prices rocketed as Tsingshan bought large amounts of nickel to reduce those short bets and its exposure to costly margin calls, they said.
The LME announced that all trades will be voided from midnight until 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday when trading stopped and added that it was considering a closure of several days.

Tsingshan and the LME declined to comment.
The LME is owned by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd."

But the nice Chinese owned LME saved their skin by cancelling ALL trades.
Other traders were furious .

LME owned by the Chinese.
