[News] WW3 anyone know the kick off date and time yet ?

[chickens]

Whatever whenever happens we have no chance. 2 initial reasons. Don’t have industry (energy and manufacturing) base anymore so how can you fight without such infrustructure that takes decades to build? Country also now has millions whose loyalty / sympathy lies with likely enemies. Not like WW1 with a few German waiters in London. Instead millions (not hundreds, or even thousands like previous WW) of “British” would likely identify with and support other countries the moment our lame government declared war (on whoever America did, obviously), likely leading to such in-fighting (aka civil war) that we’d need our (pitiful) armed forces to retake cities here never mind anywhere else.

Third and fourthly, just for fun, our politicians are useless so who would lead us? No Churchills in the wings to my knowledge. Then there’s our youth, majority of whom would object to being called up on all manner of reasons modern life has created. There’s absolutely no chance of them even being fit enough to fight never mind wanting to.

We are so under prepared for war, and so dependent on others, it really isn’t funny. Everyone (that cares) knows this. In other words, the vast majority don’t but then why worry when there’s a new series of Love Island or Traitors to watch?!

Don’t worry, we have a thriving services industry. We may capitulate militarily within hours, but we’ll be able to offer top drawer consultancy to our occupiers at highly competitive rates.

We have been far closer to WW3 at other points in the past 75 yars than we are now. I will not be stocking up on loo rolls and pot noodles just yet.

What you’re saying is you haven’t used up all the unnecessary stock you procured in February 2020.

Well we used to be at 15 minutes notice to fire back in my day on my old job , so the chances are pretty slim you can lump it all off in that time

yes I will, but i’m so keen on the benefits of being mortgage free before l‘m vaporised

With Arteta as Captain ( Google Troy Tempest )

Captain Black, mate, Captain Black, all the way. Troy was never sinister. Can you see Arteta crooning 'Aqua Marina'? No, sir.

October 1963 we all held our breath. Thanks to a Russian naval captain, we are here now.

My parents took me for a walk along the beach unexpectedly one evening that month. They told me later they were saying good bye to each other.

I hoped you used the paper sparingly, both sides.

You can fold a piece of paper in half seven times. Just saying..

If Southern are involved you’ll know it’ll be delayed or cancelled.

can you imagine if we had to move thousands of troop by train as they used to in previous WW’s …

No one would get killed as we couldn’t get them to front lines owing to drivers strikes

They'd just bomb the replacement bus services.
