  1. Trump wants 'big military parade' from Pentagon to White House for his 79th birthday President Donald Trump reportedly wants a 'big military parade' to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army - a date the coincides with his 79th birthday. The Washington City Paper reported Sunday that the Trump Administration is looking at holding a parade on June 14th, which is also Flag Day. It would start at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia and move into Washington, D.C., concluding at the White House, a source told the alt-weekly. A White House official told DailyMail.com that 'no military parade has been scheduled.' That same official did not respond when asked if one was being planned. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a press conference Monday that she wasn't sure if it was being described as a military parade - but confirmed a parade had been pitched to the D.C. government. 'I don't know if it's been characterized as a military parade, but maybe it has, I haven't been directly involved in it yet. I understand that I think it was Homeland Security maybe the White House reached out to our special events taskforce, which is what most people wanting to do a parade to in the District,' Bowser said. 'So I would say that it's at its early stages, yes they have reached out, I don't know if it's being characterized as a military parade,' she added.

    OME, no-one said it had to mean the same thing in reverse, just that the reverse made sense. How many other sentences can do that? You're such a wet blanket.

    Marty is right. Makes sense, read forwards or backwards.

    Here's one for you. What is unusual about the following sentence. Are you as bored as I am.
  5. According to Wikipedia, the UK operates 14 Airbus A330 MRTT (Multi Role Tanker Transports) , France have 15, Netherlands 10, and Spain 3 ordered and 1 delivered. That's just in Europe. Also operated by Canada, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Singapore and South Korea. KC-30A is the Australian designation for the MRTT.
  6. Do you mean, don't operate airial refuelling aircraft, or don't build their own. The RAAF operates seven KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transports.
  7. What happened to the yellow hair? Lost his hair dye?
  8. Australian country music pioneer Lee Conway has died at the age of 85. The beloved musician died peacefully at his home in Queensland on March 29 following a short illness, marking the end of an extraordinary career in Australian music. His death was confirmed by long-time friend and veteran comedian Col Elliott, who took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute.
  9. I saw a report (I think on the Daiy Show) that they want hundreds of people inserting those tiny screws in iPhones, while developing industrial robots to do it, then the workers would be trained to service the robots.
  10. From the slope of the cheat line on the fuselage, and the fact the props are so close to the open window, I'd say it was definitely a DC3. and I dont think any door on a DC4 was that close to the cockpit window. Edit: Nev posted while I was typing.

    So many people have groped the boobs of the bronze statue of Irish fishmonger Molly Malone, they have rubbed the bronze off.
  12. The bromance looks like it's over. Musk labelled trade adviser Peter Navarro "dumber than a sack of bricks" as tensions over tariffs escalate. Musk wants free trade.
  13. These bloody sites that post things like this without dates. Clickbait. Like those sites that post bogus reports of famous people like Tom Hanks, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Elon Musk, etc
  14. Singer of the 1950's Bobby Rydell has passed away at the age of 79.
  15. Not Trump, but...
  16. Trump has now imposed a tariff of 104% on China. Things will get interesting - two hard heads banging together tit for tat. Both want to be top dog. An interesting exposé on Xi Jin Ping last night on Four Corners. Should be availabke on iView.

    Very good Spacey. She was the first female to get a pilot's licence in the USA, and the first woman to fly across the English Channel. That got no publicity, because she did it the day after the Titanic sank, which monopolized the news.
