Regarding the spam we've been getting, may I make a suggestion? Is it possible to ask potential new members, by means of a form, why they want to join the forum before activating their accounts? I'm not sure if these spam accounts are bots or real people, but if it's the former, a question regarding the specific subject matter of the forum could reveal them as bots beforehand. I think this is how they do it in some Facebook groups, as well.

A CAPTCHA should solve the issue, I am sure this site had one at some point years ago?

That what I was gonna say. Seems like a simple solution.

Great result for England reaching the Rugby World Cup Final following their 19-7 semi-finals win over New Zealand. I am on leave when the final is on thankfully, good excuse to get the beers in

At Aston Martin they call it the Vanquish. Here we call it the Vanish.

So I just bought myself a Homegear 100" projector for my bedroom and an Epson EH-TW650 projector, what should be my first watch on it? A James Bond film perhaps? :)

Shame on Nav (norwegian wellfare system) sending 50 innocent people to prison.....claiming they stole money , one of them was also literally dying.....I hope they sue them >:(

"Overall, we rate the Strategic Culture Foundation (SCF) a Questionable source based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories as well as a complete lack of transparency with the goal to deceive readers. This is not a credible source."

I trust mediabiasfactcheck have given themselves a sound rating?

Besides that, anything particularly dubious in the linked article?

Possibly not much beyong the exultation of Russia's contribution. But then we fully expect Trump to be at Putin's grace, anyway. Just trying to make people aware that SCF is most likely a Russian propaganda website, like so many. I'd say the same if it were Fox News or the like.

Thunderfinger

What an odd thing to say. I wonder if you even read it.

As a matter of fact, I have. If only after you linked it.

Thunderfinger

But one of the points is that the Russians deny Trump s claims. You must just have skimmed through it and drawn conclusions based on something that you imagined was in there.

j_w_pepper

So what else is new about denying Trump's claims? The fact is was made by Trump is proof enough that it is complete , but that doesn't mean he is NOT on the Russians' payroll, especially since he's always acting the same as if it were? Do we need additional propaganda to prove or disprove his lie in this case? And why not on all the other cases, on a daily basis? But let's just cut out Trump from this discussion, lest we both get banned by the admins. We won't come to terms anyhow.

Yes, best to agree to disagree and move on here. We don't have a U.S. politics thread anymore for a reason, it always turns nasty and nobody's changing anyone's mind, anyway.

Thunderfinger

OK, let s have a CAPTION CONTEST, then.

j_w_pepper

I see what you're doing there.

Thunderfinger

Very good. Keep them coming.
