You asked me if I had served in a war Zone, to which the answer is 'yes' several- some not even anything to do with us. My ship was in the Falklands after the Argentine surrender. But I am not going to go into this 'My relatives did more than your relatives' argument or what I did. Enough of...

'You on the contrary, had you served in any war' Yes. Have you?

Millions of galaxies, millions of stars, millions of planets orbiting those stars.. and we are the only beings existing in the universe? Unlikely.. Why shouldn't aliens occasionally park their vehicles on a handy moon while they take a rest..

Easy to say by somebody who has never been affected by Japanese atrocity committed upon their relatives- simply for being captured-as my Dads brothers were. Oppose Japanese WW2 Triumphal bullshit EVERYWHERE.

My Mum was visiting my Dad in London when he got some leave from the Navy.. there was a heavy raid on and she had to keep rushing into the shelters.. , as the bombs came down dust fell on them from the shelter roof and the noise was scary . She said she thought he next bomb would get them...

They did... Hey my late Dad commanded minesweeping Trawlers though he was not at Dunkirk.. he did a few runs to Murmansk though. This trawler snapped fishing in the 1930's taken up for trade in 1940's and fitted with guns and sweep gear, he was First Lt there before his own command

But it does not answer my question about non reported rape.. only the number 'reported' While in the UK, a country which has less than 1/20th of India’s population, the total rapes top 95,000, the rapes in India in 2008, according to the report of the Central Statistics Office, Government of...

We see rape cases reported in the UK headlines quite often, so that comment is not relevant either . I was responding to your statement 'There are many countries with much worse rape statistics than India' . so it is in context.

It happens here, several recent cases of false rape accusation by women- but the women have all been prosecuted for it. The men however have their lives ruined.

'According to the National Crime Records Bureau, 24,206 rape cases were reported in India in 2011, but experts agree that the number of unreported cases of sexual assault brings the total much higher.[9] The latest estimates suggest that a new case of rape is reported every 22 minutes in...

If they are wallowing in self loathing or beating themselves up, is it not better to speak up not brush it under the carpet? That means people want to do something about it surely?

There was the airbase at Hendon, now the RAF Museum, but the Luftwaffe also bombed most of the city as you can see.

Colindale/ Hendon, close by I think.

There are Lies damn Lies, and Statistics.. if rape figures are higher in western countries, could it be because the crime is prosecuted more efficiently, women are more likely to report rapes, and some Police and justice officials are not as corrupt? Therefore higher apparent rape. Now I ask...

An interesting Bombing map of London-Raids carried out on London by the Luftwaffe beginning 1940. In the Image where my relatives live today, the numbers are number of HE bombs fallen on that area/ Bomb Sight - Mapping the World War 2 London Blitz Bomb Census

Well that's a new one, asking someone 'to get the hell out of my comments??' Laughing my *** off at that.

There are quite a few Falconers in both Scotland and England, I know 2 in my area but they tend to do displays etc, demonstrating how they are used.. The Osprey we call 'Lady' has visited our reserve for 23 years, she is a big bird and the female is always bigger than the male, but Lady is...

The coins I found were not very valuable, mostly George 2nd or 3rd but I have found some silver William 3rd Sixpences and even some French coins the oldest a copper Turnoise of 1600 Henri 4th.. but my best find was none of these- a 14th Century silver finger ring which the Government Dept has...

Interesting, I am a keen metal detectorist and as well as the 16th Century coins I sometimes find around the village where I live also the odd metal artifacts, the latest is a Falconers whistle of Bronze, circa 16th/17th Century.. which shows Falconry was popular in Scotland for centuries.
