@Thom_astro Khasab, on the Mussandam Peninsula in northern Oman. I landed here many times carrying passengers and freight in the ‘70s. Difficult airfield due to thermal turbulence and unpredictable winds bouncing off the canyon walls.

Kyodo News reported on 7 April 2021 that Prime Minister Suga will decide soon on whether to release all the Fukushima radioactive water (a mere one million tons) into the ocean. Are we all happy with this? Glowing fish and chips anyone?

Spit 4/4
... I won’t be going to the Queensland Art Gallery again, nor will I trust Aboriginal people again as it is no longer safe. I suggest that if you’re white, you do the same. Unless you like being spat on, that is.

At 2.25 pm Thursday 4 Feb 2021, I walked out of the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane, Australia, hand in hand with my wife.

@ChinaDaily It needs a runway. End of story. China should get a VTOL Moller Skycar. We’ve been flying since 1983.

@JohnCleese I’ve appreciated your humour all my life, John but while 99.9% of Americans are kind hearted people, there is a black thread that runs through their psyche that produces their gun culture and a lack of “noblesse oblige”. Remember John Lennon and be careful out there mate.

@PDChina No. Fine him and banish him to the right hand seat for six months. He will learn the lesson of a sterile cockpit. Don’t destroy his career.

The current powder keg in the Middle East is a direct result of preventable events stretching back to 1948, many of which were forecast in my novel. Read it and see how history is repeating itself. https://t.co/Z7XdyvtPai

@AOLSupportHelp Hello. I keep getting a message that my imap AOL password is incorrect, yet I haven’t changed it for months. Is there a problem?

[Mike Shanley @MikeShanley7]

@ANZ_AU No, I can’t change the App Store from the UK to Australia to get your app. Have you tried it? You get a warning that all the payment instructions for all the other bank accounts you have in place will be deleted if you do so. No other bank has this problem.

[Mike Shanley @MikeShanley7]

@ANZ_AU Hi I already use ANZ internet banking; that’s not the problem. The problem is your app is only available on the Australian App Store. Why don’t you put your app on the UK store like all the other banks so that international customers can download it?
