Elon Musk: Rockets will fly people from city to city in minutes
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-41441877

A promotional video says the London-New York journey would take 29 minutes and he plans to fly to Mars in 2024.

It will be a rich man's plaything for sure but who knows how the technology may be used in everyday life in years to come, the interplanetary stuff may be a pipe dream but quicker global travel is highly likely.

The chances of anything going to Mars are a million to one

If a certain North Korean had his way, those rockets would be travelling to US cities right now...

China to shut down North Korean companies

Other countries may whine about Trump's attitude to Mad-dog Kimmy but they have been woefully short of constructive alternative ideas (just more talking ) and Kimmy has capitalised on the fact there is international disagreement on what line to take, you cannot negotiate with a psychotic fuckwit.
The sanctions imposed by the UN must be fully implemented as the deluded bastard probably thinks that his natural allies cannot possibly be against him. He has to know that he and his pisspoor excuse for a country are all alone.

Oh I don't think it is a lack of balls just a lack of not enough in it for them YET. IMO China has no sense of make the world a better place unless they will benefit in some way from what ever they do.
Of course they are not alone in that attitude are they?

Maybe if they actually looked at one of those Chinese Government approved maps they might notice North Korea actually has a long border with them

If Kimmy went postal and it was to kick off those lazy Mandarins would notice it pretty quickly, you would think that possibility would concentrate their minds If they had any

One must never underestimate our lord and master on this thread Mr. Green Man. The one and only frog:

Apparently, it's been decided that the 2022 Commonwealth Games will be staged in Birmingham. Now the bad news, it will cost at least 750 million and perhaps a billion. Great stuff for some people I suppose. Personally, I couldn't care less if they hold it or not, but that's besides the point.

Birmingham - glorious city of rubbish bins and crime will need to come up with around a third of the cost, while taxpayers find the rest. I really wonder if any public money should be spent on stuff like this. But what do I know? It's still a few years away and I suppose and the economy may be thriving by then!

BBC response to Jimmy Savile's crimes criticised by Justin Welby

"The Most Rev Justin Welby said the BBC had not shown the same integrity over accusations of child abuse that the Catholic and Anglican churches had. "

The brainwashed holy zombie actually seriously believes that

Well sorry your worshipfulness or whatever we should call you but that is utter balls, we all know how quick all religions are to act on reports of sexual offences on children ... by covering them up

Sorry about that, not like me at all but I have been very angry recently and not in the mood for snide remarks or other by certain people and as stated my bloody PC is currently playing me up. I shall try to moderate my typing language in future -however long that might be. I've also been upset at funding out my best friend has to go into hospital for a biopsy on his prostate, so all these things have mounted up. Once again sorry to anyone who took offence including mods.
