That makes sense. It looked quite dramatic. The guys were standing in the open door of the helicopter looking down as they were landing. First looked like they were searching for sth but maybe just to help with navigation for landing

Definitely - it needs you to join an organisation which offers amazing opportunity, superb training, world class leadership and responsibility, travel across the world and an exceptionally good pay and benefits package, as well as getting to get transferable skills that benefit you in later life.


A full/spare time career in the RN is a great way to get ahead in life.

And the chance to help kill people.

Is that why we are bombing Syria, to be safe in London?

Having worked in aspects of targeting, I can assure you that we do not indiscriminately bomb at random. We leave acts of barbarity like that to the Russians.


Syria is a hugely complex situation, which can have repercussions here in the UK and elsewhere. So yes, it is to keep us safe.


The sad reality is we live in a challenging, difficult world and its not always possible to live it without having to do difficult things.

We're not going to agree on this, so I suggest it is probably a fairly pointless discussion to have.

      Hopefully some of you are up for this.  I planted a small meadow a few years ago, hard work on these heavy clay soils.  The start is planting yellow rattle, but I've spent tens of pounds on seeds and plugs over the years and only a few species are successful - ox eye daisy, purple and white clover, with the daisies, buttercups and dandelions that many consider weeds. It's going to be tough doing MMM as I have not mowed over much of the lawn this year, so it will need one hell of a trim in June. Apart from the meadow that is cut three times a year by hand.

      Would be nice if we had updates in the app rather than having to take it upon ourselves to contact them.

      Dulwich pool closed again

      By claresy · Posted

      There was an email to members saying they'd get a refund - but only if they didn't use any of the other local pools - which we'd been advised to do! I've been going to Camberwell or Peckham, which takes up more of my day and costs more in the meantime, but feel very disappointed in the protracted closure as I became a member to use my local pool.
