I dont want to die but am glad I will not be around to see it in 50 years.
Like you I fear for the grandchildren.

Yes, aesthetically much nicer to look at. That's a lovely looking bike, Mo. Did I tell you when you bought it inspired me to look at titanium for myself. That's why I have my Kinesis.

Pffft!
When you've got federal cops stopping, assaulting, accusing and shooting people, like we have here in the US, then there's no uncertainty about society unravelling, but one man is responsible for it. Laws don't mean a thing to him.

I worry for my granddaughters. I sometimes wonder if they will live in a world we've only seen in apocalyptic movies.
I'm not sure I would want to bring a child into this world.

You've summed up my feelings Dave. I'm hoping I can get another 20 years but I wouldn’t want to be here in 50 years when my girls will be in their mid 50s.

I know we must stay away from politics. I do feel for the American people. I have life-long friends in Florida, New England and California.
I'm very conflicted. As Europeans I feel we can never again trust a US government and should act accordingly.
That b****** ICE officer put his pistol inside the window.

Yes, I know my post was borderline. I'm a Brit and have seen what's happening back home. Not good, anywhere..

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We have sleep-in here. I doubt it will stick as we have had a lot of rain today.
We have been very fortunate.
We missed the war.
We HAD good NHS.
We had full employment.
How did those politicians/world leaders let it go to sh*t ?
For those that dont speak Welsh would you translate that please.

Well, it is all happening here. Here goes:
- B&Q delivered the new kitchen this morning so we have stack of boxes in the corner of the room and two lengths of worktops on the floor.
- Our daughter in Devon has slipped on the ice and cannot move. Ambulance took her to hospital for an x ray and nothing broken but she still can't move so Mrs G is going down to Devon tomorrow morning to help her. Our son is taking her as I can't go because the kitchen fitter is coming on Monday.
- Our daughter's own daughter's is off to Australia tomorrow so she can't help.
- Finally, I am having my cataract op on Wednesday and hoping to be able to drive by next week end if Mrs G comes back from Devon then.

Conscription doesnt bother me.
The circumstances stances that bring about the need for conscription scares me s***less though.

The world would have to be in a very bad place if they needed folk your age to be conscripted.🤣🤣

Well put!
Gawd, it would be like Dad's Army gone wrong. Imagine the script........
Private Drago, report to Sargent Welshie immediately.
And then go and see Captain Mo.
Right away Major Classic.
