Ha - sadly that's closer to the truth than I'd like! The suit I'm wearing will be around 19kg in total (assuming I wear the sword too which I may not given the circumstances). The real blighter is the shield, it picks up a breeze very easily meaning it pulls you all over the place.

Hi all, Just thought to mention, I'm doing the Heroes Run this year and marching 5km in Roman armour for Rise UK. I rarely get to wear it much and thought it was a nice way of doing something. If any one you have kids who go to Hertford Juniors I'm the chap who comes in once a year to visit the...

Whether Trump was in part responsible for the talks is debatable. His very strong policy on them forced the ramp up of nuclear tests and the like, leading to the collapsed facility. That said you can argue that China was getting very peeved from how Kim was behaving, trying to defend him whilst...

Trump's obviously seen the reaction from his core base on the issue of more ME intervention (one of his pledges when running and a major criticism his base had of Clinton).

Don't forget Iran, they've committed large numbers of troops and their GDP on their army is significant. Syria is one big proxy war between Russia/West and Saudi/Iran. Then there's the dozens of factions who opposed Assad (and termed 'rebels') who are rivals. If the Assad Govt were to fall the...

I think the false flag argument involves the rebels, who are getting beaten, using chemical weapons against a group of civilians with the hope that Syria is automatically held responsible and the outraged nations pile in on Assad, thus buying them time. This is especially pertinent given that...

First thing Russia does is locate troops or personnel at key Syrian points. When the US bombed the runway this time last year they had to clear it with the Russians first to ensure none were present. Syria then redeployed its forces to another airstrip. Both sides have been argued to have used...

I've seen it argued from both sides Assad did it The acknowledgement that he will use chemical attacks will mean rebels will move out of defended locations much quicker. Using it on what is termed a soft target is a real statement. False Flag The US were looking to move out of Syria and the...

The fact that Tarks is a Claret makes no difference to me, I pulled him up on the penalty he gave away earlier this season which some neutrals thought of as 'soft'. As a Claret though I feel sorry for Ben Mee who seems to get overlooked, would be perfect in the back 3 on the left hand side. I...

did they take into account the body position of the Italian player when Tarks trod on his foot? From what I saw the player was off balance and falling over when this happened, you can't expect defenders to leap out of the way of players in the box in case they make contact. Forwards are already...

Jordan is a rare sane voice on Talksport, he doesn't pander to the ex-pro club much and often has decent insight into how things in the footballing world work. A few weeks back he was on with Durham in the afternoon, Jordan mentioned that at points he hoped England would fail so there would be a...

The game vs Watford away last season made me a huge fan of Barnes. After Hendrick was sent off he covered left midfield when we defended and then attacked the channel on the other side of the pitch (between their left back and CB) from set pieces and such. Huge amount of work. Gray, on the...

Just a couple of points, apologies if they've been made before. 1. Always check the stats concerning gun deaths in the US. They can often include suicides involving guns, the pro-gun folk tend to omit these as it lowers the figure. Those who are more anti-gun include them. 2. Would be keen to...

one of the reasons for technology is because laws are increasingly more complex. You could make things much easier if 1. Offside if level 2. Every player is in play, even if injured. That would make offsides easier to deal with for a start. I suspect the laws were only changed in the first...

I think it's a reference to the black/white version of events out there which is disingenuous at best. The anti-Assad bunch included ISIS and a number of other very unsavoury groups. One of the big problems from the outset was that any support against Assad would involve allying with the more...

I think you'll be fine, you took on a resurgent Swansea and soundly beat them. Huge match for you in terms of avoiding the drop and you came out really well from it.

After the shooting one of the responses was the 'good guy with a gun' argument, this went slightly awry when it was revealed that the deputy had been there but did nothing. Next step for the NRA was always to blame the deputy, rather than realising a single chap with a handgun might not...

one of the ironies about all of this is that the NRA would prefer a democrat in charge, Obama was their best salesman as they were able to sell the fear of guns being outlawed. Since Trump got in sales have fallen through the floor, does make me wonder if any of his strong talk is simply them...

The Deutsche bank one can be read a couple of ways. The primary need for the lease is to provide a single address for a number of its London offices (all moving to one destination). With the exact situation yet unclear I would expect many banks to have considered options abroad as a backup plan.

Don't be deliberately stupid. She'll have to watch the Die Hard films first, then she's qualified. One thing a school shooting event needs is more random people with guns, I'm sure the SWAT team of police response team will be glad of it and immediately be able to tell the difference. And of...
