Hello and welcome, where do you hale from?

And - it's Wednesday now, two days later, the Don has left the building - we come to the real question. Do we actually think this deal is going to see the IDF withdraw and stop shooting Gazans? Do we think this is the resumption of supplies into Gaza? Entry of international news crews into Gaza ...

I draw a big distinction between the religion and the church, whichever religion you choose.

Religion is constructed by God for the benefit of those it is given to, thus Judaism is tailored to nomadic herdsmen but Christianity was more suited to the settled city dwellers 3,000 years later and ...

The obvious answer is anyone held to be a god by others, who is not the God of the religion of your personal choice.

This includes cases where the gods in question are demonstrably one and the same - e.g. the God of the Jews is the God of Christianity is the God of Islam.

It also includes your own ...

As far as I can see “Sooner will a camel pass through the eye of a needle”.

This article explains a lot that I had previously failed to understand.

And to make it a Venezuelan must have made it so much more satisfying given Mr Trump's self evident love for that country.

Just what we needed.

This has to be a red herring, there is no possible way these people can be thinking in those terms.

We'd be ever so grateful.

That is the best response by an MP that I've ever seen, I'm impressed.

OK, it appears that he is alive and in custody after his father turned him in.

We'll have to wait patiently to see whether his killer reaches a courthouse alive. An unlikely outcome in America.

Unless the person they've killed is a Democrat senator

The very best of luck for Thursday, I hope everything goes smoothly.

This is the NHS at its best, long may it continue

Pretty good. Been in a new job since April last year as a Technical Analyst, working for Tucasi, a company that deals with Online Payments for Schools (SCOPay) - things like Dinners, Trips, Extended Day, Products, Lettings, etc. This also includes the Import of new Pupils & removal of old ones ...

Very heavy in supposition and devoid of evidence.

I would suggest it should be rewritten starting with observable data followed by a logical derivation of the conclusions given here.

I would say that Evri have a very solid reputation - a solid reputation for failure to deliver.

That the management believed that rebranding without an associated rewriting of the operational procedures and retraining of the staff would wipe away the reputation Hermes had built up speaks volumes ...

So far, the prosecution has made a point of only filing State charges. The Orange one cannot pardon State Charges. only Federal.

The idea they might possibly believe a pardon could need defending against is astonishing in its own right.

How have you been getting on with all this driving ...

I shall beat my own trumpet. You speak of a skill I have demonstrated - furniture design. I built my own coffee table from scratch. I may also be a trend, I'm not sure. I look forward to the tips.

I also recall a kitchen from raw planks to completion back in the day.

Those planes can be resprayed if they're already painted, and passed elsewhere to reduce the waiting list. But without the removal of export restrictions by America I can't see China continuing to buy Boeing. If any domestic market would improve from buying local it's Chinese aircraft ...

China certainly have the upper hand in this and are starting to hit America where it hurts, 50+ planes ordered from Boeing by Chinese Airlines who are now refusing to accept delivery plus a couple being returned to Boeing post delivery.

Is it my memory that’s failing of do I recall Trump boasting that he would bring peace to Ukraine within days of taking power

The problem is he won't walk away at all. He wants bragging rights. Ideally he'd never be seen outside the Homeland again but that won't happen.

The reason I consented to have my records made available through UK Biobank was to improve health outcomes worldwide. China is more than welcome to look and benefit.

If it’s only just occurred to The Donald that almost all of the smartphones sold in the US are made in China then it is, indeed, outrageous - outrageous that he could ever be entrusted with running the US economy or allowed to sign a presidential order.

Let's decide what we think about governance in Hong Kong, no doubt at the cost of invisibility to anyone in China.

Given the way the present US administration is going, we need a thread on Taiwan/China reunification.
