Watching reruns of Sci-Fi show StarGate and the constant references to, "The Ancients," is a contant reminder the way the Yanks keep referring to,"The Founders," and what exactly they wrote down in that eternal lightness of being document, known as the "The US Constitution" Nobody in European politics is slavishly attached to any ancient writings that may as well be from a Galaxy Far Far Away.So come on guys, grow fucking up, use some fucking common sense. And stop blaming, The Ancients.

One of the most successful to ever do it was a larkish American steamboat operator. In 1866, when he was 31, he convinced a San Francisco newspaper that the crucial thing to do in the lurid gloaming following the Civil War was to send him on a five-month “great pleasure excursion” through Europe and the Middle East at the paper’s expense. In exchange, he would send back riotous letters describing his trip. And that is how Mark Twain got to Paris.https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2025/06/writers-way-paris-mark-twain-travel/682778/

A "French exit," also known as a "French leave," "Irish goodbye," or "Irish exit," refers to the act of leaving a social event, party, or gathering without announcing your departure or saying goodbye to others. This is often done to avoid lengthy or awkward farewells, or simply to slip away unnoticedIn French, the equivalent phrase is "filer à l'anglaise" (to leave English style), attributing the behavior to the English instead.

The purchase reintroduces a nuclear role for the RAF, which during the Cold War was capable of deploying the British-designed WE 177 tactical nuke from the swing-wing Tornado jet – now also retired. "Tactical" refers to weapons intended for battlefield use.( I wonder is this instead of having to buy chlorinated chicken and other third rate meat cuts from the US;-Ohttps://www.theregister.com/2025/06/26/uk_f_35a_refuel_hitch/
