Last Notes npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II Thank you! npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II Does anybody out there know who provides the software for this miserable, misrepresented system. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II Unfortunately he doesn't believe he's capable of bad moves. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II So, in how many political systems have you actually qualified to actually cast a vote? npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II To vote or not to vote . . . . I stand by my statement. And while I support a very large proportion of what @benroyce says, I think it would improve his viewpoint of electoral democracy if he were to be able to stop viewing the exhibition in the lobby only through the US letterbox. When there are 30 candidates, and none of them are worth a vote, then it's a tad hard to label the non-voter a moron. It's not always a simple strategy game. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II I like the Australian system (I think STV), other than compulsory voting. Not voting can also be a statement of political choice, even if it is too often abused. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II This is one of the best news items I've read in a long while, despite the verdict's leniency. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II Peace negotiations can never achieve anything when one party is not open to compromise, and Russia (the agressor) isn't. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II This might not be the most fitting response to your very much welcomed post. I was going to write "Only a fool" to your final question, but this is the most emotional, soulful rendition of foolishness I know of, and echoes my feelings of deep sorrow about what MAGA, and the Trump baboon truppe's deceit have done to the Ukrainian people. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II This is exactly the right response, and as Cory says, the revokation of the EU-US trade agreement should be permanent, or until it suits us to negotiate change. The 'Never' in never again must have meaning. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II I was visiting a German winemaker many years ago when he began griping about Germany's intention to raise the minimum wage from €8.50. I couldn't keep quiet, and told him in my view the current rate led to 2 social security claimants; the guy only getting €8,50, and himself and his business. He wasn't happy, and less so when I told him I wasn't happy either at having to subdidise his holidays on Sylt, which he had just told us about in glowing terms. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II And what will he say to the next big-eyed neighbour land, which says the Russians took what they wanted so why can't we? npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II Unfortunately the present Labour Government have fallen prey to the general English tendency to preach good intentions while implementing wholesale anti-democratic legislation. I could have understood, and indeed expected this under a Tory government, but Labour. So many lost souls will be turning in their graves there will be no need to maintain or replant our cemetries. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II I went there, and I'd buy it just to support your heroic stand, but I couldn't find a clear and meaningful way to pay anything at all. Or is it a pay what you think appropriate offer? npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II But they've been doing this for years, and barely anybody grumbled. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II Probably npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II And the other thing I realised, but that took a little longer: at my age, after, A-Levels, the was University or nothing. The idea of learning a trade was looked down on. Here the two routes to a future perspective were viewed as being of equal worth and status. That coupled with the concept of Leben langes Lernen (lifelong learning) had a very positive affect upon the propects for the majority of the populace. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II Mine too. We are just moving and one of the biggest problems is the number of books we have. I have 650 documented, and my wife must have just as many undocumented. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II I heard talk last week the RRF (Rapid Reaction Force) has been resurrected, or did it never go away? npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II Exactly! npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II The only cookie I ever knew was a school friend. So thanks, but no thanks. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II The sooner Ukraine can take the gloves off and fight back in an unrestricted way the better. It's laudable the Netherlands made it plain Ukraine can use the F16s they gave in any way they think fit. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II 1. What (please) is GR ? npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II The sooner we drum Hungary out of the EU the better. If they want to rejoin and rejoice with Russia let them get on with it, and fast. I, for one, don't need to be associated with them. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II I understand what you're saying, but might I make a suggestion? Which is don't comment in the first person plural unless you're absolutely certain the comment applies to all, or use conditional tenses to always have a get-out. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II I've never been a student nor an academic, but I've read all of Dickens in my post-school days, along with Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, Victor Hugo, and a number of others. But I prefer essayists, and won't start on those. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II When are we going to do the decent thing and give Ukraine freedom to respond in kind? It shames me to have to ask this question. npub1mykd5mdgazztrns7wuftusunfy7xfh8r9p4t54fz8um79fxthvpsuyphpx Lord HeeHaw II I have somwhere in my saved links a description of similar to, but not, concrete building blocks which use a bonding agent (like mortar but not mortar) which can be disassembled and reused. No it's not that famous toy manufacturer, but the principle is the same. There were no financial disadvantages to their use.
