Never thought I would say this, but Arnie proves in this video he is more of a statesman than Trump has ever been,

Tonight’s ‘North Korea/corona fusion meal is a fine roast chicken feast..,

That doesn't actually look that bad, I've had worse from takeaways.
Morrisons microwave curry is actually quite nice, it's not cheap meat and they have decent flavour, the microwave rice they sell is nice too, better than the plastic pouch type ones that you put in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Must admit I can't cook rice like, even have a rice cooker and it still comes out like wallpaper paste. That and Kendal Mint Cake are the only two things I always fail at cooking haha.

This was M&S canned curry, also rice and Pitta bread mate.

the meat is always a good quality, hard to make it look decent from a can haha!

tomorrow I’ll eat better depending on hours at work and my willingness lol

You still down in Manc?

When i stayed there i would probably have had a curry about 3 times a week (only a kick away from Rushholme so there wasn't really much choice in the matter) City centre wise the nicer ones were that Akbars (behind Deansgate, near the science centre) and even the one on Portland Street, Sangams was nice - handy cos it was near the couple of casinos at the start

Love for them has really gone downhill over the years - in the main the ones up here aren't much cop to be honest.

One thing that's sad is that when i was down there last time, i took a wee jaunt round all the old haunts and the amount of times i went 'oh, great, now apartments' was depressing :-(

It's a cracking city; loved my 5 years down there, had planned on staying but didn't work out that way: certainly a lot of regeneration there over the years!

Still remember getting the old one quid magic bus up and down Oxford Road half steaming and getting stranded in Didsbury a few times at 3am:. Where am i? You're in Didsbury, now get off, it's my last stop!'

I’m on the new builds mate, over 60 cranes and over 33 hotels to be built apparently.

it’ll keep me in work thankfully, thing is i do lots of social housing, these are built next to private...

So you are getting folks spending millions, next to them is social housing..

Not the kind of properly I’d want should I have ever the luxury of affording what I work on lol.

just wish of a evening I could get out for a meal or the gym, never mind a pint...

got a lovely apartment, but only so much Netflix I can take! Now watching zombie land for the 11th time..

I’m gonna have to send you some tips on lighting and how to take photos. Pretty sure that this tastes better than it looks. Lol.

My daughter was supposed to be there but she had some important exams and I didn't let her go, which I'm glad about. Three of her friends were there and they actually saw the explosion as they were just walking into the part where it happened. If they had left 30 seconds earlier they would have been badly injured or dead, All three have pretty serious mental health problems to this day, I know one better than the other 2, and I know she still wakes up screaming some nights and has attempted suicide more than once, including just this last year

Try Homeland if you haven't already, am currently watching El Chapo (infamous drug lord), it's brutal but quite interesting...

That is utterly harrowing mate.

The human mind is such a fragile yet powerful thing. A lot of people don't realise this. Sounds like she has PTSD.

I will make a prediction. I think that the aftermath of all of the shit going down right now in America will result in a new and strong political party being born. This will see real opposition to the two main parties.
What do you think?

Depends what kind of party. If it's filled with trumpsters then no thanks.

Ha ha ha. I am not sure that you are qualified to join it

 

[sufferinsilence]

Aslong as the Democrats aren't divided a division in the Republican party will only see the D's winning every single election. There is a need for a broader change of the system if 3rd parties want to have a chance.

 

[vorcirion]

Oh? What are the qualifications? With big Q maybe?
US does need more political parties. But none of them seem to get any support from the american people.

 

[cncas2123]

Agree with this, the Republicans would run a very poor second to the Democrats in every General Election if there is a clear split in the Republican party - if memory serves there already is a second party within the Republican party, the Tea Party which is further to the right of the main party.

I think that the scenes from last week shocked a lot of moderate Republicans and that has shown by the reaction of the big businesses that would have largely supported the Republican Party is it was always seen as the party of business and financial prudence.

If anything, the scenes from Capitol Hill last week will further marginalise the ultra right who have been lauding Donald Trump as the saviour of America, at least that what seems to be happening over the last few days.

Big Q?
Historically I agree. But history does not always influence the future.

it will be worst than either one of the parties that is there now.

I would guess that with all of this Orwellian control with censorship plus the talk area by area,state by state across America there will be a lot of people scared about their future.
I think that America is prime for a new party

 

[geordiecolin]

it will be worst than either one of the parties that is there now.

How can you suggest that already when there is no new party yet and obviously no manifesto?

Was what happened all designed? Look at the timeline of the events and the fact that there where a relatively small amount of people already outside that building while Trump was talking to the crowd.
Time will tell who where to blame in the future if we are allowed to read the facts. But does anyone in here trust this world of censorship we are seeing?
I will repeat. I see very few Americans posting in this thread

read the room.

Is that a "fact checked" site allowed by google?

How original. Those ‘trumpsters’ are people, allowed a view and opinion.

your probably the most intolerant person I’ve ever came across on here.

I refuse to be personal Ben because this site is a small community when it comes to members that are open to talking about world events. Lets appreciate others opinions otherwise they will get zapped

Those trumpsters attacked the capitol hill. They should be hunted and jailed for life. They are traitors and they are enemies of democracy itself.

What about BLM scum? They all good?

I wasn’t referring to you bro

 

[vorcirion]

In about any large group of people there are some scumbags. When talking about Trumpsters...it's almost nothing but scumbags. Especially Proud Boys and their supporters.

 

[geordiecolin]

I edited my post to explain myself but you posted before I sent

 

[vorcirion]

What about BLM scum? They all good?

Why are you supporting a white supremacy group?
You know if black people attacked the capitol hill...they would've been shot. Now only one attacker died and some police even got selfies with those terrorists. There's a need for a group like BLM.

 

[geordiecolin]

So what are your thoughts about there possibly being a strong new third party before the next American election and would you welcome it?

 

[geordiecolin]

read the room.

Really Steviedoo. What do you mean by read the room?

So you would say I’m scum?

 

[vorcirion]

You know very well what I think about supporters of Proud Boys.
But why are you supporting them?

A devils advocate question. How many people from what Ben groups he supports and how many from what vorciron refuses to condemn have resulted in killing the most? Who's have ruined the most state buildings? Who's have burned down and ruined the most businesses and Cities?
Just for clarity
