Hi All,
I don’t know about anybody else and where they are living but in Leamington Spa/Warwick in actual fact across Warwickshire they are granting planning
for more and more housing despite calls for it to stop. It seems to me that councils in general are unlike S.OA. council just ignoring what the local
population think of any planning development and how it affects the populations lives or indeed if there is such a need for whatever they want to build.

One local project as an example:-A new council office block planned to be built on a site occupied by a car park block in a town that has had central parking squeezed to death, especially when the offices in use at the moment are not that old and could easily be refurbished and leave the car parking
where it is needed.

Hi All,
The Black Tower 2017 (Via SKY Cinema) I really enjoyed this Sci-Fi/Fantasy film that didn’t do to well at the box office and was panned by many,
whether this was because of more popular films released at the same time I don’t know ? There are plans for a sequel and a Tv series if these come to
fruition will be another entirely ? On the whole if you like the genre you shouldn’t be to disappointed as there are some quite good specialFX that only add
to the film IMPO….:cool:

Starring:- Idris Elba,Matthew McConaughey,Tom Taylor,Claudia Kim,Fran Kranz,Abbey Lee,Jackie Earle Haley,Katheryn Winnick (Vikings),Dennis Haysbert,
Michael Barbieri,José Zúñiga, and Nicholas Hamilton.

Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), the last Gunslinger, is locked in an eternal battle with Walter O’Dim (Matthew McConaughey), also known as the Man in
Black. The Gunslinger must prevent the Man in Black from toppling the Dark Tower, the key that holds the universe together. With the fate of worlds at
stake, two men collide in the ultimate battle between good and evil.

Hi All,
Just a quick question please, Could not all the new tech be added to current stock aircraft such as Super Hornet/Eurofighter/Rafael/Grippen or say the
announced future fighter programme between Germany and France ? I am thinking in terms of purchasers of the F-35 that have had to step back because of the cost or reduce initial orders ?

Hi All,
Newforest – Excellent book matey thoroughly enjoyed it so will now buy all his books….:cool:

The Shape Of Things To Come By H.G.Wells (Corgi Edition). The Shape of Things to Come is a work of science fiction by H. G. Wells, published in 1933, which speculates on future events from 1933 until the year 2106.

EDIT: Having now finished the book this man was either very astute in imagining the future from observations of his own era (1930’s) or an idealist he
just imagined a world where everybody on the planet would end up equal and my reading between the lines he foresaw along with the Rise of Hitler

:- WW2/the Spanish Flu/GMF’s/GMO’s/GMC’s and I dare say the current gender free society that some want, along with many other current human
activities in all fields you can think of, yet strangely no mention of Nuclear fission or the destructive power of Nuclear Weapons he could vision
(Maybe because Fission only came about a few years after righting this book ?) None the less it does describe the world as becoming a New World Order
that some today are alleging various billionaires are trying to impose and influence countries across the globe by dividing the people into various camps.

Hi All,
Newforest:- Yes I am enjoying the book the beginning get’s you thinking one way then it doe a complete 108 and sets you on another path. I am at the
moment where Jablonski has just been killed then buried, Talbot in the meantime makes sure Valentino is off bodyguard duties to be replaced by Kendrick
to protect Mary as they are about to embark to X13….:eagerness:

Hi All,
Fear Is The Key by Alistair Mclean. A classic novel of ruthless revenge set in the steel jungle of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico — and on the sea bed
below it. Now reissued in a new cover style. A sunken DC-3 lying on the Caribbean floor. Its cargo: ten million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
gold ingots, emeralds and uncut diamonds guarded by the remains of two men, one woman and a very small boy. The fortune was there for the taking,
and ready to grab it were a blue-blooded oilman with his own offshore rig, a gangster so cold and independent that even the Mafia couldn’t do business
with him and a psychopathic hired assassin. Against them stood one man, and those were his people, those skeletons in their watery coffin. His name was
Talbot, and he would bury his dead — but only after he had avenged their murders.
