Re: Brexit and not very united kingdom politics II

Getting booed by a load of flagshagging royalists outside St Paul's won't have done Boozo much good.
With Middle England publicly turning against him & an approval rating of -15, how much longer until Tory MPs grow a spine and get rid of the mendacious, corrupt traitor?

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border

And I can absolutely picture Johnson contriving something like that scenario on purpose, reasoning that he can get all the political benefits of being seen to Take A Firm Line on Russia but never have to back it up with a commitment of UK forces if he can just stall until the occupation is a fait a...

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border

The majority of the Donbass remains under Ukrainian control, without russian support the separatists would have been annihilated years ago.

Ironically Mariupol was one of the most pro-russian cities in Ukraine. And just look what Putler's fascists did to it.

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border

Apparently with Victory Day looming, Putin wants to have something to show for waging war on Ukraine. A decimated army & the pride of the Black Sea Fleet 'promoted' to submarine status isn't enough? Well, okay, the UA is launching it's counteroffensive in Donbass. Is that going to be enough for...

SkyrimSE - SKSE64 alpha

The Silverlock team have finally released an alpha build of SKSE64, currently up to v2.0.4, for modder testing.

Re: Thought Exercise: Alien Planet Colinization

It's a detail that slips many peoples' notice, but Anne MacCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series lacked horses (at least in the initial books, they might have crept into the later ones). The colonists had bred a sub-species of cattle for speed and riding in addition to maintaining stocks for meat a...

Re: The United Earth starship Enterprise (NX-01)

The NX is more of a prequel ship for TNG as if B&B wanted to forget the TOS and replace it with ENT. Stylistically it has pretty much nothing to do with TOS, which it is closest to in time. That's pretty much it, the waste of DNA called Berman had no respect at all for TOS. Which is how we ende...

Re: The United Earth starship Enterprise (NX-01)

It's the Akira plain and simple, not even a new design. But there was more… we had a basic configuration for another ship that was very close to the 1701, although still too futuristic to my mind. Apparently someone walked into Mr. Berman’s office and said, “Cool! It looks just like Kirk’s ship!”, a...
