Mumble, mumble, something about tiny hands, mumble mumble.

A 32 year old middle-class man-child from a nondescript town in England still desperately trying to be something he’s not, despite all the success and money he could have possibly hoped for.

So is “Bimmer” pronounced “beeeemer” or “bim-er” because at this point I just don’t know any more.

Complain if you have a legitimate issue, but please don’t make stuff up - it’s always easy to see what’s going on.

You should get to it, you’ll love it. Arguably a better written novel, much tighter. The early Clancy stuff was great, then it got a little too overtly political for my taste.

This is a good post.

Realistic taxes.

Pakistan is acquiring AIP-equipped diesel electric submarines from China. Those are a threat to the Indian CBGs and, if they manage to put cruise missiles in them, provide a second strike capability. Interesting times.

I don’t get it either - what more is there that I am missing?

That’s odd, I thought violence at sporting events was the provenance of those ke-ray-zee “Euro” soccer hoooo-li-gans.

Please never mention that again.

Tell me more.

Yeah, Chris Kyle, American Sniper etc etc.......

Whenever I drive through Hemet I feel like I’m being watched by a serial killer. I’m fairly certain half the vehicles in that town have duct tape, bleach, buckets and plastic sheets in the trunk.

He was very cavalier in his approach to the final stretch.
