Ed033, I've seen you mention this line before:

"remove all natural life forms from Earth to be replaced with synthetic/ artificial entities? "

I'd just like to ask how you've come to that conclusion?

If I may. I personally don't think that is the final goal for whoever is in charge.
1). They wouldn't be able to make any more money.
2). The money they have wouldn't benefit them in anyway

I'm not saying it's all bunk, I just think that last bit in your statement is a little over the top and illogical.

Mrs E Sorry didn't see any grovelling apology, in fact I cannot find this at all can you link. As to grow bun28 I will refer you back to redandys post. I am Scottish and can truthfully say I do not know one person who despises the English. I do know they are out there, same as Scots haters in England, but I suspect it is nowhere near 50%. I have lived in and my work still takes me to england all the time, and I have experienced some anti Scottishness but not a lot. I sit beside an englishman at work and we sometimes hangout after it. He has never gotten into a fight in the many pubs we have had a drink in, because he is English. I know people are happy to keep us all divided but I see past it now.

Same reason you get blonde blue eyed Russians and Ukrainians.

I presume the bbc series and not the tedious bookstop or the 13 hour film.

I study languages and was aware already about the Russian names bit, but I had no idea it was due to an Icelandic influence. Thanks for that, very interesting. I think there was an example of a brother and sister and their differing names in War and Peace the other day.

Joke shows how agencies operate too.

She had a way of talking down to you. At the meetings with Gorbachev, gordievsky was the translator. But such a superior attitude.

â—¾The KGB, the FBI) and the CIA are all trying to prove they are the best at catching criminals. The Secretary General of the UN decides to set them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest, and each of them has to catch it. The CIA people go in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations, they conclude that the rabbit does not exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and make no apologies: the rabbit had it coming. The KGB goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit! "

Here's one for you.

â—¾A hotel. A room for four with four strangers. Three of them soon open a bottle of vodka and proceed to get acquainted, then drunk, then noisy, singing, and telling political jokes. The fourth man desperately tries to get some sleep; finally, in frustration he surreptitiously leaves the room, goes downstairs, and asks the lady concierge to bring tea to Room 67 in ten minutes. Then he returns and joins the party. Five minutes later, he bends to a power outlet: "Comrade Major, some tea to Room 67, please. " In a few minutes, there's a knock at the door, and in comes the lady concierge with a tea tray. The room falls silent; the party dies a sudden death, and the prankster finally gets to sleep. The next morning he wakes up alone in the room. Surprised, he runs downstairs and asks the concierge what happened to his companions. "You don't need to know! " she answers. "B-but. but what about me? " asks the terrified fellow. "Oh, you. well. Comrade Major liked your tea gag a lot. "

That's his name. He did do a decent accent really. Gives you an idea what it was like in that society.

It would have been bugged because you were foreign. Even though British trades unions received support and money from Moscow and some of the big wigs were actively employed. Cnd also were an approved organisation as the uk removing nuclear weapons would have been a win.
