General Discussion Area / Re: BLM reaches Dibley.

I'm not a fan of Dinesh D'Souza -

But I'd say, from about 5m50s, someone got something handed to them on a plate. And they probably deserved it.

Lizzie/Dr Opti -

The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.

I'm only seeing Ken Paxton's name, not Kyle Hawkins.

A filing at the high court like Paxton’s would usually be made by the solicitor general of Texas, Kyle Hawkins, the state’s top appellate lawyer, and not the state’s attorney general, but Hawkins did not sign on.

Fair enough, but I think this is the brief that isn't signed by the Texas solicitor general.

Breitbart... I'll maybe wait for some more objective outlets.

No offence DG.

I still look at this from time to time -

Just to keep things in perspective.

Is this from MINA report - as in Macedonian International News Agency, Mark Abramoff? That's the only verbatim search result I'm finding.

Also, which 'election law expert'? They're normally only too keen to get their name out there.

Must be one of the lowest mileages on here?

Mine also suffered from lockdown neglect and passed (with an advisory). I thought uneven brakes might be a problem too.

Indeed - 1973 was also the year Roger Williamson was killed at Zandvoort

Or when things are generally more moderate and less polarised, BLM might attract less focus.

Meanwhile, it doesn't look like SCOTUS wants to play.

Or in the case of the B-36, six turning and four burning:

(Sometimes two turning, two burning, two smoking, two choking, and two more unaccounted for).

Sorry to derail the thread with aviation nonsense - how is the crank sensor?

FWIW, I'm about 150 miles post crank-sensor replacement and still haven't relaxed.

Well, I need the dead B52 currently sat at EGVA, and it's about a 150 mile round trip :-)

One of these?

The cynic in me suspects that Boris doesn't have a clue what he is doing and will try to gosh-crumbs-isn't-this-jolly a way through.

At the risk of stating the obvious, he isn't Margaret Thatcher.

I did suspect he'd patch the inauguration in some way, although not quite like this. Personally I think it would be undignified and disrespectful. On the plus side, the talk of 2024 suggests a certain wakefulness and faint odour of coffee.
