It was really sad.
A political move by General Galtieri to try and stay in power ( a military junta) by stoking up nationalistic fervour .
Cost so many lives for nothing .
Most argentines live in the sunny province of Buenos Aires and have had no interest in the Falkland Islands 
This is not to diminish  the bravery of our soldiers but the argentines were not really our enemies as people are our enemies today .
Wars are sad all round .

saw the start of the Falklands war. Hard to believe that it is so long ago. Had it started today there is no way the UK could have overcome the invasion

no prob

Quote from: Scrumpy on June 07, 2026, 09:43:06 AMNothing like that in my home.. I don't even have a complete dinner/tea set..
 If I see something in the charity shop that catches my eye .. such as a dinner plate .. cup.. tea plate.. I buy it.
 All mishmash... I'm probably sitting on a fortune..

Scrumps,  I am exactly the same as you.   No complete sets of anything,  I would never use it anyway.

Like you,  if I see something pretty in a charity shop,  I will buy it.
I'll tell you what I have bought a few of . . .  pretty little china flower vases,  just small ones,  not great big things.    I love it when I can cut just a few flowers from my garden and I've got a pretty little vase to put them in.  

I believe that a nomination for labour leader requires 81 proposers from the PLP. Is he that popular? He's already stood and failed in two leader elections.

If he gets 81 MPs to support him, there will be an election and the present incumbent will automatically be on the paper without having to be nominated. 

Andy Burnham isn't an MP yet so he might never be leader, it's not a foregone conclusion.

Yes I saw that .
She was very aggressive with him 
Zia Yusuf is no push over however .
He spoke well .
