100 Tales from the Tokyo Ghost Cafe by Julian Sedgwick & Chie Kutsuwada - part text and part manga. Entertaining as well as being an insight into the Japanese relationship with the spirit world.

Love the website. These small bookshops need all the help they can get.
I wonder if you could ask them to include some information about accessibility? Are there stairs and/or steps, narrow doorways or aisles, is there a lift, do they have wheelchair ramps available - that kind of thing?

Does Vance actually have any views? I just though he shouted out random things just to get attention.

Most likely possibility is Trump doing a deal with Putin for mineral rights in the occupied territories, then putting in US mining engineers with US forces as "protection". If Ukraine tries to regain the occupied territories then Trump will have his excuse to attack Ukraine directly.

I understand the sentiment but that will mainly hit the UK where a big chunk of "Hollywood" content is actually made.

Incidentally, NATO would be treaty bound to defend Canada if it was attacked - even by another NATO member.

European military including the UK are used to working in co-operation due to the NATO structure and could do so even without the USA.
The European Army was an idea based on the idea of the EU becoming a nation. This is not likely in the near future and would also exclude the UK.

We thought we did have. We know different now.

Thanks for the link. I'd distinguish between, say, an engine which could be replaced by a French or British one and a targeting system which depends on access to US satellites and software which could simply be remotely disabled.
Interesting point about the British input to the F-35 though.

I remember the USA used to be part of NATO once.

I think you missed my full stop.
My point is that the F-35 depends on US technology which could be disabled by the US on Trump's whim so is not reliable. I'll leave it to others to compare the Grippen with the Eurofighter but either would be better than an F-35 with its avionics disabled.

Trump seems to think surrendering to Putin is a 'peace deal'.

We should be increasing defense spending but ordering European weapons not US. Eurofighters not the F-35 that rely on US tech to function.

Hmm - a bit more global warming and there could be possibilities for golf courses...

So US army sent to clean out Hamas and clear munitions so he can build golf courses and casinos, staffed by a few remaining Palestinians? Scotland next - golf courses and hotels, oil, hydro and a submarine base. After all, his mother was born there and they wanted to break from UK didn't they...?

She is just a placeholder to take the flack until the electorate start blaming the present government and not the previous one.

UK's turbines mostly off-shore so appearance not an issue. Huge installation under construction in North Sea. Intermittent less of a problem as UK increasing energy storage, typically pumped hydro. Batteries also important. But nuclear also needed - small systems not giant white elephants.

2. But soon after I left home, it stopped, and did not recur throughout my five weeks away. What was I doing differently? I had no idea. But by pure chance, one of the first things I read when I returned was this. It described symptoms very similar to mine: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
