And don't forget, Trump only ever ran for office because Obama once made a joke about him having small hands

Say what you want about Trump, but he does a great Max Bygraves



And he's also an ECB qualified umpire

 

[Welsh Exile]

i might have missed how the US are justifying getting involved, have US personal been attacked/threatened? other than the general being a "bad" country, was there something that triggered Israel's actions

Trump will change his opinion on something at the drop of a hat.

maybe some of you should jump on the lions tour....arse end of the world might not be a bad place to be for a while

Just a quick thought on the Israeli Iranian thing: Have Israel attacked 2 days before American Iranian negotiations were due to start because if those negotiations had been positive and a deal would have been reached it would have been much harder politically to attack Iran?

Imagine if Trumps team had got a big beautiful deal sorted then Israel had attacked? Even America would have been fuming at that.

Just to imagine if trump hadn't ****** it up in the first place by cancelling a working agreement.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

We are such an incompetent country it's unreal.

We are such an incompetent country it's unreal.

If you think that's bad don't look up "Problems with Type 45 Destroyers"

If you think that's bad don't look up "Problems with Type 45 Destroyers"

It's honestly scary. We're suppose to be better educated than previous gens, but nothing seems to get done correctly or on time. I don't know if education needs a good look at or people have just become experts in procrastination.

If you think that's bad don't look up "Problems with Type 45 Destroyers"

Apart from being operated by people who actually wanted to join The Navy?

I think you need to work in complex project planning....

The main issues are
a) Not accepting the real cost of a program
b) Not having clear set requirements at the start and changing them
c) Not accepting the level a complexity of modern systems

The idea people are feckless is something all generations having been moaning about and is frankly lazy and stupid thinking in of itself.



I'm working on a program currently and people are asking why we can't do it in less hours than when they did it 15 years ago. The answer is simple they cut corner and lied in a several places and whilst you might have got away with it 15 years ago you don't anymore. so the project is paying not only to solve its own problems but fixing problem 15 years existing but people turned a blind eye to it.
