      "The soldier shot an IS militant dead from 3,540 metres, which is just over two miles away, in Iraq last month. The previous record was held by British sniper Craig Harrison, who killed a Taliban fighter in 2009 in Afghanistan from 2,475 metres away (1.5 miles]

          Ten bob for a wee, I don't believe it, that is just the kind of thing that really gets me about this country.
          Lets have a protest about that, no, nobody would be interested.

                  If you go to a pub you can consider that money as a donation towards your beer. :thumbsup: Supermarkets are usually the best place to go for a wee as they provide them free of charge.

                  When I was in India earlier this year the place to go was a petrol station. The law out there is that every petrol station must provide a free loo. Don't forget to take your own toilet paper otherwise there will be a person at the door selling it! The law doesn't say they have to provide paper :snorky:

                      OK, I'm scared now. We spent the afternoon/evening down at our local lake tree nature reserve and the yanks sent the Stealth bomber over four times in an hour. It's a good job that I was fatigued or they would have spotted me!

                          As always, it is good when you get involved Pete. We may have differing views but your posts always give me something to think about :blue thumb:

                          I'm not sure how he has been treated badly. Yes there have been protests but that is free speech and long may that liberty remain. He's not behind them but after some of the Chumps comments about him (basically blaming him for the terror attacks, probably based on the fact that he is a Muslim) it would be foolish to try and say that he is not sympathetic to the protesters.

                          I agree that this PC world is getting beyond the joke. However, that doesn't give him the right as the Pres to air his own racist and misogynistic views. We have to be grateful that he is struggling to put most of them into practise.

                          That is what I am saying. They agreed to stick to the increases in funding that they agreed to in 2014.

                            Actually I didn't - I imagined it four times as officially it still doesn't actually exist.
