@whiff1962 I live in a socialist country ( as defined by govt control of GDP ) . I am every bit as " free " as you are . And we are in far better financial shape than the USA .

In fact.......the USA is toast......no way out .

I like all Stevies work......but gee.......with The Mac behind ( well......with really ) her ......she sounds like an angel . I mean.....we get TWO angels....Stevie and Christine.....they are both Songbirds . I doubt I will ever be able to say it to them in person.....so I will say it here.

M...

The first Irish Supergroup ??? ( pre U2 , Corrs etc etc ) . I lived this music when I was at Highschool . 35 years later still sounds as good . I just hear nothing from the current Justin Beibers ( or whoeverthefuck ) that gets close......not on the same planet.....

Now I am off to liste...

@nikolivonhuven hi nik. good to see you like the old stuff. I luv them as well, prolly cos they can....u know.....SING......and PLAY an instrument , and all that boring stuff.

I like old stuff too.....but some of it is 200 or so years old.....but hey, when Charlotte Church sings it ( its the Fl...

This is not responsible firearm use. This is just plain ol stupid and dangerous. blondie is right ( see below ) . A .22 is the place to start ( and finish, unless you wanna hunt mammoths or whatever ) . Even the US Army agree . 223 seems to be the prefered calibre.

@indibabs122275 sure u could hug him ! he wouldnt harm u in any way . he LIKES humans ( he thinks he is smarter than us tho ) . Orca ( please.....dont call them Killer Whales....) are gentle, sociable , friendly creatures. I would trust them more than I trust most humans. ( cos they d...

@DrVegasIII agree. this chap is definitely NOT any sort of cetation expert . Not even close . I dont claim any deep understanding myself , but what I do know is that the Orca could have killed any trainer in 1/2 a second......stone dead. Shredded . But it didnt. So that begs the real q...

Orca = Big Teeth . Why didnt it simply bite her head off ? Or give her a tail slap that would cut her in half ? Why did it drown her ? What was really going on ? Violent nasty " killer whales " ???? no no no......these are highly intelligent , sociable, friendly creatures . The...

This Orca has Huge Teeth , and a tail that with one flick could kill a man . So what was this Orca actually trying to do ??? Was it trying to play ? Was this what other Orca would call socializing ? Was it really trying to kill the trainer ???

@MrMikeLancs there has never been verified attack on humans by Orca in the wild. ( and yes, I did check Goggle ) . Not one. I think they just like us ! The deaths have all been in captivity . Read what you like into that.....but they didnt look like premeditated attacks to me. Orca are ...

These are amazing animals.....their biology is incredible.......their intelligence is easy to see.....and they are not afraid of humans ( or sharks.....or anything ) . I think that instead of shooting them, or eating them ( yep......afraid so ... ) we could learn to treasure the treasures that w...

@rockybirddog my vet says the same....my dog eats all my leftovers ( except fruit ! .....but including peas,corn nad rice) . the vet ( animal doctor person ) says they need some veg in their diet .

The first flat I ever lived in had a German Shepard ex police dog ( retired ) . He would let the...

......i think they are already best friends. hi to both from New Zealand.......awsome video

@wolfakuehlen the situation was much more complex than that ! you do not mention radar . the reporter was saying what she was told to say, because the general puiblic are not interested in the loiter time of a 109E ( it was about 20 minutes in fact ).

be NICE to the cute reporter ! roflmto....

@my90tp he did a good job for sure. I was going to suggest the Cass bank here in NZ ( South Island Christchurch Greymouth run ) to with 15 on behind , but I am certain your Zig Zag will do nicely.

@reLENTless1897 isnt the problem here HOW the Fed create the money to purchase bank assests ? And they then charge interest on that amount, AND hold collateral ( in the form of bonds ) to cover that " debt " . cant the Reserve Bank do that at zero interest, instead of borrowing ( which is e...

I just do not understand the compulsion to build 90% of the weapons that ANY country produces.

Anyone DUMB enough to " attack " the USA would be Tomahawked to death in a matter of hours. And the same weapons platorm could go nuclear if so required. Isnt that enought ???

And WHO , pray tell, wou...

@itteerde an evaluation has been done by Rand. The clip is posted here on youtube, so I am sure you will have no trouble finding it . " Cant turn, cant climb , cant run " . And from the opposing force ..." like clubbing baby seals " . 200 lost in the first 20 minutes of the wargame . The ...

Racel Maddow is a Rhodes Scholar , with a degree from Oxford . I believe she is quite perceptive to bullshit stories being spun by interested parties.

It is also possible that Rand's eveluation of this aircraft is incorrect ( cant turn , cant climb , cant run ) . It is also possible that a ca...

@johnsy88 I love Stangs .......but outclimb a Mk IX Spit ??? Not even close batman

The Theory of Evolution.........is evolving . Darwin was aware that he did not have the Whole Ball of Wax.....but my feeling is that we are getting closer and closer.....and that essentially, Darwin had it right. And in the current Intelligent Design / Evolution debate , I also feel that Mr D...

@Sunedosa suit urself who is dreaming pal .

@positronicum97 Gangs out of business would be an EXCELLENT thing ....and that was what I was trying to say . Also, it frees up police resources to chase REAL arseholes ( like 12 million per year Goldman Sachs execs ). Even class A drugs......I mean, these people DO need help ???, so why not e...

@bigplayer2382 well.....havnt you got your knickers in a twist little girl ! But, some nice person ( dayvidiot ) has already answered your ( retarded ? ) ramblings above . Churchill was a govenment minister since WW1 ( Admiralty ) . Britain ( and USA ) were both INTIMATELY involved in ENABLI...

I hear Moreporks on our farm at night when I am fishing the river . Have never seen one tho. This is a great video. A Kea fan thanks you. Has he ( she ??? ) been back to visit ???

great vid clip. beautiful bird . say hi from a Kea fan in Waimate if he ( she ? ) ever comes visiting

@Fosellar it is unfortunate that many " sane " people ( ie Columbine students ) should NOT be armed. In my country we have chosen this path . A concealled weapon is illegal. Only police may carry a firearm in public. Further, insane people ( ie that Swedish gunman / murderer ) are nor afraid. ...

@brianrallen The end waypoint NDB location was changed . An error was made logging its new position. The check made to catch this error did not catch this error ( amounting to over 20 NM ) . This error was made by NAV section ANZ. The briefing given by ANZ was faulty ( according to US Navy ...

that is a very very very kool octopus . please say hi from New Zealand to her ( ??? )

aaahhh......can she dance , does she like music ? this will sound weird, but.....my dog could not hear music....no reaction....i just wondered if ur girl might enjoy some bach / beatles / etc etc ( maybe she...

@hateseaworld Doctor ( well....professor really) Ingrid Visser is a New Zealander. , but her parents are Dutch . But Ingrid is pure Kiwi, so, yeah, a lot of people may not quite get her accent. But she is a world acknowledged expert in cetation life , and like me, she loves Orca. Fancy cal...

The first operational radar ( for the US ) was stationed in Hawaii . They were expecting an attack . The aircraft had been ordered to park dispersed , rather than lined up ....because , they were expecting an attack. The US Pacific Fleet was stationed in Hawaii rather than the mainland.......

Well.......bring back the Mozzie is what I say ! Some versions had more powerful engines than the bomber version , and would easily outpace most fighters . And you dont argue with 4 x 20 mm Hispano cannons ! Also, 8 x 5 inch rockets make a hell of a mess down there.... I say the Mozzie ti...

@timber733 In my opinion ( as a pilot ) safety was most definitely compromised. A minimum altitude would have been agreed in pilots briefing ( as per company policy and rules which are set with manufacturers input ) This was a very basic violation . I am sure he / she is a fine pilot , but ...

@Dethreid I guess our definitions of " making money " do not match ! If banks are fully regulated, FRB might work . In the current economic climate, I believe FRB is a recipe for disaster ( ie ....what has already happened to the global finacial system ) . JF Kennedy did not think the curre...

filmed on a potatoe ? ......and I looked for some " insanity " but all I saw was a very slick KLM crew doing its thing. Try getting this close to threshold at JFK and see how fast you get arrested for Being a Goat .

@98bennyj the FG was built under liscense by Goodyear ( the same company who still make the undercarriage for Boeing and Airbus )......hence the alteration to its designation.

I dunno about "improved ".....same engine, same armament....but it did have a different , and pilots say better canopy .

Tim Berners Lee ( an English physicist ) working at CERN in Switzerland invented the Internet .

It was NOT " invented " in the USA . The ONLY truely American inventions I can give credit for are the TRANSISTOR , and the Colt Assebly Line Method. Wilbur and Orville were the first to fly , but t...

I dont believe most " conspiracies " . But what I cant figure out is why the USA is surprised that they were attacked . If I stood in front of a person, yelling in their face, while picking their pocket , I would not be surprised if they took a swing at me. These counties in the middle eas...

Dr Ingrid Visser PhD ( and a few more ) . Yes......leading Orca researcher. Yes, the Orca do know her. Yes, she knows them....individually ! No , a permit is NOT necessary . According to Nat Geo ( and me ) , there has never been a recorded Orca attack in the wild.....so....no deaths......
