Maybe Trump has spotted Xi assembling forces to take over Taiwan. What is good for the goose etc ( he has changed the world rules hasn’t he) . So he will need to get military there.

Opti is already 111. That avatar photo was taken by one of the colour photo pioneers!

I agree, wouldn’t want to be around in 46 years time. World population 10 billion. Trump and Putin ( or at least cryogenic versions ) will still be having peace talks for Ukraine and rest of Europe. Everybody will routinely carry guns, take drugs and drive around in homogenised Chinese EVs. Pay Per mile auto deducted from your chip’s wallet. At least we lived in the best times ever.

I was recounting a holiday we took in 1992 to Mojácar to Spanish friends last night. Once there we hired a car and drove to Granada, parked for free outside the Alhambra and went in. Very few folk, on to Seville and so on. Drove the car ike it was stolen! Only way to travel such distances. Roads were empty save for a few lorries. Very very different now.

General Discussion Area / Concrete mixer - sold!

« on: 24 February 2026, 09:00:56 »

Bought it in the UK , 1980. Simple German made standard electric mixer. No on off switch.

Served me well especially here where it regularly ran from dawn to dusk.

New owner is Dutch. I wonder if it will still be working in 2072 !

You could not make it up.

Venezuela. Still run by the same people minus Maduro. No sign of any US oil company rushing to invest millions to pump poor quality crude.

Cuba. No Venezuelan oil, health service in collapse. Tourism wrecked

Tariffs. Up one day, down next, back up. How can any company at either end plan? Best thing is to find replacement markets and let USA go hang. How does that maga?
Chagos OK , next day it is not. ( it never was ok to give it away given this new world order)

Middle East Iran. How long before one of his ships is at the bottom of the sea? How long before no tankers are going through the straits of Hormuz and fuel rockets and with it the cost of living for billions of people.
There is an element of double standards.  US and Russia no longer have an agreement on limiting nuclear weapons. Now some European countries want to step up to the plate and become nuclear weapons countries

We used to have one on my dad’s back door facing the door. We ordered his weekly food from Morrisons. My dad used to tell the delivery man. “ Icant eat all that”. The delivery man pressed the button to “ speak to head office “(us) andhewouldthen accept it!

We find them brilliant for seeing anything untoward on our property while we are away. We disable them when we are there.

I would be tempted for our European trips outside Spain. Then put standard on back in Spain. So many cameras around nowadays.
