Yeah but there are also a whole lot of Americans who think that Trump was the best ever

According to doctor google 1 of my insulin compounds ( i take two) costs $108 for a week supply for me, presumably on top of this there is a doctors fee and a dispensary fee. In addition to this I use 28 hypodermic needles 28 - 35 blood test strips per week and then there is my oral medication!

As I said in another thread I have insulin dependant diabetes, I am informed (on another board) that even with health insurance this would cost me about $1000 per month (plus the insurance premium obviously) I dont know how accurate this is but from other things I have read it doesnt seem to...

Am I missing something here? "mighty Russian army"? are these the same under resourced conscripts that are driving around in obsolete tanks? "Meagre Ukraine" armed with the best military equipment NATO can provide

"Tenacity"? allow me to edit Ukrainian application of the finest military hard ware that EU and America can provide has discouraged Russian ground efforts

Mmmmm, not really the PM is still circling the political drain, she is in position but not in control. It would seem that the PM these days is Hunt in all but name. Makes me miss Maggie Thatcher a little. you forget the way in which she left no 10? Her party rallied against her and she was...

I was going to say that at least you cant buy your way into congress ......but these days that isnt really true Here there are strict limits on how much both a party and a candidate can spend on electioneering, I gather that that isnt the case where you are, we also have limits on what a...

at the time almost all of our lords would have been hereditary but these days they have virtually ended the hereditary peers (they are still a lord but they dont get a seat or a vote) and the system of peerages has pretty much fallen into disrepute

Yeah that was my mother too, it was years before I realised that most of them were disgustingly sweet WITHOUT the extra sugar. Several once popular cereal brands are pretty much banned here, they cant be advertised and could not be sold without seriously reducing the sugar content - they...

I have noticed that there arent so many conspiracy theories as there used to be, I think that the media have stopped talking about them

in my youth I used to laugh that Mongolia - a sparsely populated country with only two land borders, China and Russia - maintained an army, now I realise that Russia couldnt invade a well run scout camp

At least we dont have that problem, our student loans are only repayable once you hit a certain threshold ( I think its £21000) and then you pay a fixed percentage of your income over that minimum. I dont worry about it, I graduated from my first degree 16 years ago and havent repaid a penny...

being wrong is no biggie but it can be embarrassing if you are telling some one that they are wrong and it is you that is wrong

One of the penalties for poaching deer in a royal forest was amputation of the index fingers - if you think that that is bad you should hear what they did to forgers

cant eat any of them - insulin dependant diabetic

That would be nice but who repairs the roads and bridges who pays for all the stuff needed by people who dont have their own slice of the pie

why not? Its bricks and mortar good anti Russian propaganda is worth more than a soviet era hospital (I DO NOT SAY THAT THEY DID) There are a great many Americans (mainly Alex Jones fans but not all) think that the US government blew up the twin towers! Was the hospital targeted? or did the...

Actually it amused me more than a little - not the belly laugh I had when I first saw American tanks storming across the Iraqi desert with an inverted V emblazoned on them (in the 21st century) but enough to make me smile. sorry about the garbled English in the report but as I said google...

Im sure that our system is as arcane to you as yours is to us

Up in the morning and out to school Mother says there'll be no work next year Qualifications, once the Golden Rule Are now just pieces of paper If you look the part you'll get the job In last year's trousers and your old school shoes The truth is, son, it's a buyer's market They can afford to...
