Yes, a free new 'Total War' game direct from the makers!

Only available free today, though, so you haven't got long to get a copy.

Yes, you've got to register on their website, but that's all.

And now Big Orange drops an Arab-Israeli peace deal into the equation. Well, Israel & the UAE, anyway. The same UAE who are a thousand-odd miles away from Israel, aren't in any sort of conflict with them, and oppose the same regimes as they do...... Apart from those stirred up by the various religi...

That'll be because when I checked the NATS site I think I only checked 'EGTT' instead of also checking 'EGPX' ( which covers Scotland ).....oops!!

Or track the French Coastguard boats....

Question is, would the world have been a better place if the pollsters had been right? Depends which part. If Clinton had won, we ( because the UK Govt. always follows the US like lemings ) would likely either be embroiled in some new wars in regions which are nothing to do with us, or have ramped-...

And if polls were accurate, Clinton would currently be POTUS, Corbyn would be PMUK and the UK would still be a member of the EU.

Some pubs/restaurants are doing it sensibly for walk-in customers by using an individual tear-off pad page per customer/group ( same as what they already used for taking orders ) Others, however, are using an ordinary notebook where one individual/group's details follow on directly below the previou...

Depending on which forums you read, AKA 'The great grey photo op.'/'the great grey publicity stunt' I suppose it's useful training & somewhat more practical than an A400M, though...assuming it's electronics suite is capable of detecting RIBs, inflatables, etc. And nice of the Army to help out the Ju...

Three of one of the tenants staff where I work decided to have a meal at one of the recently reopened restaurants ( 'Slug' ) during their hour lunch-break last week. By the time they'd waited for a table ( no pre-booking ) filled in the forms & listened to the 'do's & don'ts' they'd already used up ...

Unless you're in Wales, in which case it seems to be seaside resorts & caravan parks where most of the recent outbreaks have been occurring ( oh, and not forgetting food processing plants, of course ) And if Wales is anything to go by, the 'track and trace' system is pretty useless due to people giv...

Doesn't seem to have been a specific NOTAM issued for it yet ( not on the NATS website, anyway ) Individually for Saturday there's : B) FROM: 20/08/15 17:15 C) TO: 20/08/15 17:35 E) NO MOVEMENTS IN BLACKBUSHE ATZ DUE RED ARROWS FLYPAST.

I didn't mean you.

Meanwhile, noticeable by their absence in the area today are the RAF.

Presumably related, RAFAT practice taking place at Valley tomorrow :

...we don't want this turning into a UKIP far right post. Can't be me, then....you only have to read the various politics threads to know I loath UKIP. Maybe some posters on here need to get a sense of humour instead of defaulting to 'offended' mode. And before I get accused of posting off-topic......

Unfortunately it's the wrong type of ball turret........

Which is about the time that it diverted from the books because they aren’t finished yet, and boy, it shows. To be fair, it had already deviated from the books since the very first series. 'Hunters' on Amazon Prime.....starts off silly and gets even more ludicrous as the series progresses. Just not...

Children and Coronavirus. It's one of the items that was discussed weeks ago on Radio 4's 'More or Less' & 'Inside Science', but I see it now gets a mention on the BBC website : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/explainers-52777244 And : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52003804 And in the latter they'...

Next-door neighbour.... His eldest son ( and his son's wife ) are recently-retired surgeons living in America - both ended up going back to work because the shambolic lockdown delays meant that the medical staff were pretty much wiped-out ( in some cases literally ) in a number of hospitals where th...

Since the pubs reopened, Wales seems to have been overrun by idiots who appear to have forgotten what's been happening the past 5 months.
No doubt other parts of the UK are the same.
There are a lot of people out there who are too stupid for words to describe.

By all accounts be played a blinder with his recent financial aid package, though. The $600 per week people were getting had expired & the Democrats were blocking an extension/replacement, hence Trump bringing it in as an 'Executive Order' ( or whatever it's called ) He then repeatedly harps on abou...

Youtube!!

They keep suspending the live feed for 'policy violations'.....despite the fact that the feed is the LeMans Cup organiser's own one.

Start was delayed as 2 of the cars managed to collide on the warm-up lap......oops!
