If you were British, you'd have gotten up early and done the entire steps before the neighbour managed to do that half. That way you shame them, they owe you, and you get to be morally superior all in one go.

I watched them put one up recently. It took mere weeks from muddy wasteland to done. They just craned in cubes and stuck them together.
The ball-pits and hamburglar are gone; replaced by iPads.
Nothing left but the rustle of the wrappers, blowing around in the wind.

A regular bow wouldn't send an arrow through armour like a longbow could. With a rate of 6 to 10 arrows per minute that longbow was going to get you. Even full plate steel might end up pierced depending on angle and exactly where it struck.

There seem to be way too many certificates and qualifiers for roles these days. An apprenticeship used to consist of just doing the job. Perhaps find your local blacksmith and see if they can suggest other options?

Having watched my own poor Alsatian suffer her last days due to the 'purity' of her line that led to her back legs going at an age that wasn't near old enough, I am not convinced.

Britishness is a state of mind, a social structure; not a birthplace, a passport or a right.
If you go against our history, our culture, our foundational principles... then no matter what pieces of paper you wave: you're not British.
Likewise, Tories are no longer conservative.

Margaret Thatcher stopped the 70s disaster of strikes, blackouts and the IMF coming to bankrupt us.
She stood up for individualism against communism and made Britain relevant again on the world stage.
Leaders after her made their own decisions that led to where we are today.

If the UK government thinks that we need immigration as part of our future, why did we not give all Hong Kong residents British passports when we gave Hong Kong to China? We could then have protected our citizens against this type of persecution. It's not too late for Jimmy.

I was travelling once and stopped overnight. It was dark, and I could see very little. When morning came, the view dropped away into a valley, and soaring over it: the Millau Viaduct. I've never forgotten that morning. The pictures are amazing, but they don't do it justice.

The key point is that there is one nation comprising of all peoples and therefore one national anthem.
Everything else is an anthem.
Here in the UK the National Anthem is 'God Save the King'. We love 'Jerusalem' as a representational song but it's not an English national anthem.

Missionaries are not there to try and debate doctrine. They are to share a simple message about Christ and his gospel; then request that you pray that God sends his Holy Spirit to confirm truth. What you do with that answer is up to you.

The delusion of progressivism is the absurd notion that if we destroy the very foundation upon which our culture, laws and society rest; only to focus on some new magical form of 'better' humanity, then we will all be better off.
