I don't think the US and UK had much of a choice, the Houthis had attacked both unarmed merchant ships and warships trying to protect them with missiles and drones. Let's not forget they were given many warnings over several days to stop these attacks or face the consequences. Freedom of navigation in international waters is a global agreement in law. Iran is escalating the tension in continuing to supply the Houthis with these weapons and training in how to use them when they can see how they are being used to attack unarmed merchant shipping, and the piracy of ships and their cargos.

I guess keeping to the speed limit is not easy in your Boss Mustang 429.

I did read some time ago, it is a good idea to have a stock of water, no need to fill the bath just yet but start collecting those large containers of bottled water. Keeping a few of those on stock is a good idea if you have the space. Some tinned food on stock as well. Good to have in times of terror threats, or possibility of war.

Sadly, most of us cannot afford nuclear fallout shelters, but with the nuclear weapons that could be unleashed today, are they worthwhile because in ann all out nuclear war how much of the planet would be left inhabitable.

Good morning everyone here in Mingle2.

Here in the UK the regulations have continued to tighten up on modified vehicles. If you change the engine for another new/reconditioned/unleaded conversion but identical engine that is OK. If you install any other engine, maybe larger capacity, an upgrade, or just a different manufacturer, the vehicle will require to be examined at a government testing station for safety reasons. It costs a lot more than the normal MOT test required on all vehicles over 3 years old, and must be completed at a government testing station. Once tested, the changes are recorded and an updated registration document issued, so the annual MOT test is all that is needed in future. If the vehicle is over 40 years old and registered as a 'historic vehicle', then it doesn't apply, these vehicles do not require a MOT test.

Storm Isha has now passed through the UK with very high winds and heavy rains, currently the temperature is 8 C, with light winds and rain, as we await Storm Jocelyn to arrive tomorrow bringing more heavy rains and high winds.

This takes me back to my youth. ( This spent 5 weeks at no.1 in the UK charts 1957).

"It is located near the point where Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee meet between Middlesboro, Kentucky, and the town of Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. The pass was discovered in 1750 by Thomas Walker, and the Wilderness Road blazed by Daniel Boone runs through it." As advised by Google.

A guy was watching a camel caravan preparing to leave the oasis for a long journey through the desert.

He had often wondered how the camels survived these journeys without needing water for many days.

So, he approached the camel herder who was taking a camel down to the edge of the oasis to drink to ask him the the question.

Well Effendi, says the camel herder, as the camel is drinking you use two bricks, one in each hand, and clap them together on the camel's testicles.

The camel takes a sharp intake of breath, and at the same time gallons of extra water, this sustains the camel for many days.

Oh I see says the guy, very clever, but does it hurt?

Only if you trap your thumbs between the bricks, says the camel herder.

We have to be somewhere.

A guy was waiting for his train to arrive when he spots a, "I tell your weight and Fortune" machine on the platform.

He decides to try it and steps on to the machine and inserts 50cents.

"You weigh 14 stone and you're going to fart" says the machine.

He laughs as he steps off the machine when, brrrrrrmp!

Amazed at this he steps back on to the machine and puts in another 50c.

"You weigh 14 stone and you're going to fart" says the machine.

Determined this will not happen he slowly steps off the machine when, brrrrrmp!

This time he decides this will not happen again as he steps back on to the machine and inserts 50c.

"You weigh 14 stone and you're going to fart" says the machine.

He clenches his buttocks as he gingerly steps down from the machine and then, brrrrrmp!

In absolute disbelief he decides to try once more and steps back on to the machine and inserts 50c.

The machine says, "You weigh 14 stone and you have been farting about that much on the station here that you have missed your train"

Living your life as a single person is very different to sharing your life and living with someone. Whether you choose to just live together or marriage, either is in my opinion a very big step. If I loved someone then I would prefer marriage, over living together, because for me it shows the commitment you both have and the pledge you make to each other, which you hope will last a lifetime. For some just living together is enough. I see it as a personal choice with no difference between the two when taken for the same reasons. It is a very big step in life and not to be rushed in to, a long courtship and becoming best friends will decide it for you in my opinion.
