We were in LA two weeks ago and although the freeway is a bit scary (as they overtake both sides), they also have a lot of Stop junctions where it's the same, in that if you arrived first, you could go. As you said, it would never work here.

Well looks like it’s properly kicked off in the Middle East and Iran has got involved now - the poop has hit the fan

Tut tut tut, holding converstaions in the Random Irritations thread. Too much lattitude being given here @Hobbit
How very dare you make an open ended point for which I feel obliged to reply to…. Oh, is that an opening conversational gambit?

Iran has been involved from day 1.
I watched “One Life,” the Sir Nicolas Winton story this morning. He was a stock broker/ banker before World War II who arranged the Kinder Transport out of Czechoslovakia, predominantly Jewish children. Many may remember the That’s Life programme about him. For those that aren’t’ aware have a look at the brief YouTube video. Have tissues next to you.
Who is saving the children in Gaza?
Who is saving the children in southern Lebanon?
Who is saving the children in the Yemen?
And who will save the children of Israel when the surrounding countries come calling?
I have my own views on what’s going on but it’s too political to post…
But who is saving the children?

More breaks your heart than irritating.. although it is the latter
Eldest twin got unsettled in July by leaving nursery , she gets up every night to get in bed with the wife. We would have battled sooner but it wakes her twin. So for her we lived with it
We are now battling to get her to sleep again without one of us laying with her. Yesterday night one took an hour
Tonight is just daddy and it's 30 mins of crying in ATM.
Eldest due back from brownies any min. Hopefully this one drops off soon..bless her
Dunno how her sister falls asleep in the room with her moaning away

Unfortunately as with many times in years gone by they don’t care about the innocents and the children

Iran was behind 7th October and subsequent events. I said this to someone this week who replied,
"What happened on 7th October?"
That's a function of the coverage.

What's even more shocking is it's almost a year already!! With no sign of letting up
Just look at Russia that's been years now
Horrible times

Yep. Terrible.
How many folk on here know about the clock in Tehran? That's the sort of folk we're talking about.

The media does not think you need to know.
Tbh nowadays the BBC would probably describe the D Day landings as provocative.

And sadly looks likely to only escalate further. Not sure how they get a diplomatic/political resolution to de-escalate and bring some calm and humanitarian help

If Ukraine lose their funding in November then they will have no choice but to negotiate.
The Middle East problem is not solvable though.

I agree about the middle east but there has to be some form of diplomatic intervention if only to allow a temporary ceasefire to allow innocent people to escape to safe areas and aid to get in. There has always been tension and no side is ever going to back down

Agree but at the moment neither side is listening to reason. Scary as both sides are nuclear powers.

Indeed. Iran are hardly known for their rationale and stability either. The fact that US and British forces helped down some of the missiles isn't going to help although it was a fantastic job to intercept so many

Old threads getting restarted. Sometimes feel like the forum could do with one of those ‘select all the squares with a traffic light’ before folk could post
(but instead of pic of traffic junction it’d be a pic from a golf course and 'select all the squares where you get free relief')

Been some real blasts from the past recently and so funny looking at the original posters who aren't here or are back under different pseudonymsOld threads getting restarted.
