    I bet Trump has been watching Ice Cold Gold on the Discovery Channel, and that's where he got the half-brained idea.

    I wonder if that nuclear reactor is still buried in the ice.

    Ah, no, they took that bit, just left the rest of their rubbish behind.

    Then again, there's bits of a couple of nukes up in Thule to make up for it.

    it may be more political than that. I saw a recent program which suggested that the Chinese were interested in "investing" in the Greenland infrastructure. This seems to have been missed in this debate.

    By their nature these are NOT OTC, they are scripted. If the CMO spent less time on her life long hobby horse of fags and booze and more time on what her system creates we'd all be a bit happier I think.

    New addicts are being created daily. And it's not just a UK problem, the US, Australia, many Western countries are being affected. Have seen first hand the issues being caused and it is no laughing matter. Just deeply saddening.
    I don't think anyone is laughing. There're a few getting offended, especially when they've had a pint or two...
