“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of anything he was never reasoned into” Jonathan Swift
Sweden's iron ore exports to Germany, 1933–1944
Rolf Karlbom

Whilst reduced it's still in the millions of tons range.

But why would LKAB want to play that down?

Local paper for Narvik says that there were repairs and shipments from the port - you'd think they'd know.

I have a feeling he's misreading the Swedish text as there was damage, but it was repaired and exports resumed in late 1940.

Here's another bit of the Falklands that will be forever Argentinian.

Tell you what we'll give you the bit of the sea bed where this lies.

If you want some more, you know how to get it.

The thing is that once everyone accepts the Falkland islander's sovereignty that science the CLCS accepted will also enable the Falkland's claims to the same bits of the seabed.

So just like in 1982 you'll have lost because of your aggression. The irony!

A body which admitted it had no jurisdiction over the disputed area?

"it was not in a position to consider and qualify those parts of the submission that were subject to dispute"

So more meaningless Argentinian bullshit.

Splitting hairs - yet do we know where Farage's girlfriend got the cash to pay for that house in Clacton yet?

It's been open a while, and it's not just for cycling, but also walking and running as they've put down a running carpet

The ship holds the record for the longest journey north and south.
The design is such that it lifts itself up out the ice as the sheet ice closes in.
It reached 85°57' north with Nansen reaching 86°14' on skis.
It then reached 78°41' south
Though it isn't the most impressive ship in a museum in Oslo

Which state would that be then?

This view?

It does.

But that required the UK electorate accepting tax levels equivalent to the EU countries whose services they keep demanding equivalence to.

Can we not use that individuals name - his followers are usually thrilled when the left use him as a bogey man.

Better to name the victims so they are never forgotten.

Life has a 100% fatality rate.

Some people manage to go through it without ever having lived.

Railings are for people who don't belong in nature.

The concession is that we will provide you with a stairway - it reduces the damage to the area.

Except...

Too many have too much invested and believe their own hype - who wants to destroy their own company for the sake of Sam Altman's bank balance?

I was at Newcastle Poly in the late '80's and knew several people taking Russian who spent 6 months in various places.
As Linda's visit seems shorter maybe she was doing O or A level.
The numbers weren't huge so maybe there was a specific school near the northern line that taught Russian?

Trump repeats the call to go to the Capitol immediately after the fight like hell quote.

The J6 committee documented what was the speech as written and what were Trump's ad libs - the "fight like hell" and 3 of the 4 calls to go to the Congress were his own words.

What's misleading?
November 20, 2025 at 5:17 AM
Are we pretending that despite a majority of both houses of Congress voting to find Trump responsible for J6 and over 200 defendants saying they were acting on Trump's instructions that editing one of the four calls to go to the Capitol with the fight like hell quote was "misleading"?
