Let them cut off gas. It will be hard for one season and we might need to nationalise energy production companies to stop price rises. But this situation cannot stand in the third decade of the twenty first century. It is as idiotic as if Mexico annexed California or Poland annexed London...

It actually might. There are only three things that will stop Putin. Guaranteed - long rifle and experienced gunman - his own generals dragging him out to the street so the cheering crowd can lynch him - angry oligarchs and mafia. Any of which he deserves. Let's be honest about it, the man is...

You should have. Neither Nazi Germany nor Russia would attack Poland in 1939 if British or French forces were "peacekeeping" southern regions. What I'm saying is simple - each time Brits and Franks hide like pussies and limit their response to "sanctions" when stuff happens on mainland...

That's exactly what you said when Hitler attacked Poland in 1939 and look where that got you. Europe needs to be united for once or look idle how the new world war begins again. Putin won't stop with Ukraine. Russians never do.

Ukraine needs to request peacekeeping operation from NATO, foreign armies have to go into Ukraine immediately. Underline that any entry beyond separatist sector means war against NATO. Publicly shame mental state of V. Putin in media and make a public appeal to encourage Russian people and...

This is how I see it. NATO will do nothing until the end of the week. By then false flag operations will be staged, few UPA insurgent flags hanged on "bombed kindergartens" or shopping malls. Within literally weeks Belarus will ask Russia to kindly take it back and return with open arms to...

I blame the board meetings and think tanks led by .com dinosaurs - "what four letter domain can we still get?" "ding.com and dong.com is taken, boom is taken, but we can buy bing.com from previous owners for a seven figure sum?" "sir, if I may, we still own live.com" "forget about live.com, I...

Well Dis86, I might have been wrong about you... abrasive demeanour or not, in just one sentence you provided me with more information than the entire Independent article... So every time they get the gun with dummies they test it by squeezing the trigger with fire arm pointing at the...

How do we know Clooney was talking about dummies? Is it in that Independent article we are discussing?

Well, you know, not all of us have as many armchair google degrees or will ever reach the dizzy heights of the industry and firearm knowledge some posters here clearly possessed since that fatal day in October... You have to forgive my "utter ignorance", I don't work directly on set. Like you...

And that changes what while handling fire arms? Also... "stated to you", "do your eyes work"... spoon me sideways, the level of discourse... whatever happened to this forum, it's bad... let me just give you one Clint Eastwood glance and pout and I'm out... That's enough of that.

Angilion, don't take my jibe "at their feet" so literal - what I'm getting at is this: - it makes no sense to discharge prop weapons (revolvers or any other hand gun) EVERY TIME before filming, because they were loaded specifically to be fired in front of the camera, if every actor in a 'wild...

"Every time I get handed a six gun, you point it at the ground and you fire. You squeeze it six times. Always.” This sounds like porkies. How do they ever shoot any scenes if they fire all the rounds loaded into prop guns at their feet every time? Also, can you imagine pre-scene checks for...

Yeah, makes no sense not to sell it unless money is no longer needed where he's going next...

I don't usually react to this whole doomsday this-time-it's-true-prophecy circles for couple of decades now. But, for once, why not... I used to be "green". As a young man. I used to be a cyclist. I used to protest in accordance with this-time-it's-for-real doomsday prophecies of my own...

I hear you guys and I accept theoretical quotes from HMRC pages, but I have never encountered any mechanism or tool on eBay that would allow me to sell any goods back to mainland continent less UK VAT. I'm sure it's the same for German seller shipping to UK. As far as I can tell from within my...

There is no mechanism for a German seller to "not account for VAT in Germany" just because a country outside of EU wants to add their additional tax to such purchase. It's as if you sold large volume of goods from UK to US. You can't take 20% off final price, take their money and not pay any...

You can't ask seller to deduct the German VAT or claim tax back from HMRC - we are not part of EU anymore and VAT chargebacks between member states no longer apply. German seller has to account for their part of VAT in their homeland while HMRC add their additional taxes (and customs charges if...

It's the same story with all the Marvel series so far - it's as if they had a drawer full of rejected movie ideas - "solo movie with Wanda and Vision", "how Falcon became Captain America (again)", "how Bucky stopped being Winter Soldier", "solo adventures of Loki(s)" and then decided to turn...

There is no 2ah tool battery on earth worth paying £60 for. Ryobi belongs to the same chinese company as Milwaukee and AEG. It is "third in line" too receive tech trickling down from Milwaukee mothership. Milwaukee gets R&D, their older tech goes to AEG Pro/Ridgid Gen X line of tools and then...
