My wife and I have a friend who’s a CPA and who has had senior positions in the BC public service. Shortly after JT was elected, we were out to dinner with her and she brings up that photo of JT and Sophie looking dreamily into each other’s eyes. She then spent the next ten minutes gushing...

BC is the place that, despite having a provincial NDP government at the time, sent Reform to Ottawa overwhelmingly from ‘93 to ‘00. Yeah, it’s weird here.

Me and the missus bought one as an alternate to baseboard heat in our first place in Sooke in the early 90s. Pellets were cheap then, something like $4 for a 40lb bag. Problem was it needed power to run the exhaust fan. Running it during a power failure smoked out the house. Later versions...

Don’t forget the RV.

Hoth was just an frozen ice-ball, right, with some dodgy indigenous species. Knowing that and the location of the rebel base, why not just do a Ripley and nuke it from orbit?

Is there an AI feature that lets you shoot it from the left shoulder without losing your teeth?

Bet you’re on CHA and had a close-up.

That's the one thing I don't get. How blind/uniformed/thick do you have to be?

Jim Hacker channeling his inner Justin. Quite prescient.

I seem to recall one of McNab's books mentioning that soft bog roll was a selling feature for a quikie tour of Crossmaglen rather than the rough wax stuff in Tidworth.

And since @Navy_Pete has alluded to the fun of water compensated tanks and fuel husbandry, despite the sterling efforts of our UDER, sometimes your gas was only as good as it's source, which during APOLLO was: 1. RN/RFA ( we reckoned they had a side hustle with the Sultan to get the good...

If you could dump fuel of suspect quality into an FT4, spin it and add a spark....it'd start. Fuel atomization/air assist was a nice to have. 570KF's on the other hand..........🤬

Machinist Mate Bloggins submits primary cooling loop water as his monthly pee sample.

Not much has changed....

Sir Humphrey tries to make sense of it: Does It Make Sense to Pay Off Frigates and LPDs? Possibly...

On average, they're a bit younger but equally knackered. I spent some time on a T42 in '02. Their stokers referred to the T23's as the "Skoda class" :D
