Awful – 3 cousins and my aunt live in Norway

Awful – 3 cousins and my aunt live in Norway where they were born.
1 cousin with family in Oslo works for TV2.
Another is a first officer with SAS based out of Oslo
The other cousin and my aunt are in Bergen.
I await news back from each of them to say they are safe.
My thoughts and prayers are with them and I have messaged them to that effect.

Does anyone have any more news as to who, why or what?

Please see my comments

I am a Christian since birth and remain so and believe that the UK still is a primarily Christian country whether or not everyone baptised a Christian adheres to symbols of attending church, etc.

You or anyone in the UK are free to believe in anything or nothing as a religious faith.

We have professionally highly trained armed forces and police in the UK and they primarily adhere to all democratic conventions when operating on the mainland. I am not free or able to comment on external operations as these opinions are often blurred by journalists. Yet I always remember these highly trained individuals are humans like us with all the human frailties we all have.

People cause trouble in society when they aren’t gainfully employed or have positive objectives.

Case in point my German neighbours and it is hardly my remit to rehabilitate them from what ever illegal/anti social activities they are engaged in during the wee hours of most mornings. These are issues for Anglo German authorities that if they wish to be objective can deal with. The matters are with local Police anyway so I cannot gain much by winging much more except that it appears that what Germany don’t want Scotland has picked up the responsibility for.:mad: Akin to ‘Megrahi’ scandal.:o (No further comment on this as it is an embarrassment to honest people in Scotland and it is beyond belief – the happenings of the last few years with respect to this topic)

Hess literally “dropped in” here as well didn’t he ?

Must be the heather that attracts extremists.:D (Not much natural heather in my neighbourhood though, thank goodness)

Sounds a real nightmare – maybe they’d just paid him off after a failed audition….

Hi Jim

Sounds a real nightmare that you witnessed – maybe they’d just paid him off after a failed audition for a King Kong sequel movie.;)

Which is why the local police armed response unit vehicles are extremely weighed down in their boots (if saloons or estates) and I can’t blame them having to be prepared.

Yes unfortunately tragedies occur with mistaken identifity or inadvertent deaths but when it comes to a ‘them or us’ situation even for the sanest of individuals ‘flight or fright’ kicks in; and then we have in UK years of very expensive inquiries during which inevitable accusations of cover ups are made.:(

I suppose according to the history of evolution humans descended from ape like creatures and it sounds like the individual was still transitioning.:D

I know full well what you are saying

I know full well what you are saying. This is unique to extreme religious or fanatical sects or groups that have anti social or worse objectives. They go quiet for a period but then someone resurrects the whole thing again.

Since February I have had the misfortune to have been sandwiched by two neighbours who as I joke with friends seem re-incarnations or offspring of the Nazis. They are female, German (at least say they are and speak), anti social (extreme noise and partying between midnight and dawn), they wish to close down one of the bastions of antiquarian pubs in the neighbourhood, have on several occasions through their own doing come to the attention of the local Police (they called the police out twice on the same night and absconded at 4 am – diversionary tactics obviously). Treat the entire neighbourhood with serious contempt ie their garbage is simply flung anywhere.:mad:
They could be modern day Bahder Meinhoff for all I know.

Yes you are right but I still think that as Christians we can be vigilant as always but not worry too much about a war criminal’s ashes scattered in the sea.

Politician never – a technical brainstormer maybe especially post rowing post pints

Politician never:mad: – a technical brainstormer maybe especially post rowing post pints of a real variety (none of this namby pamby Facebook/virtual stuff).

God I have done a U turn – the Forum Police will ‘book me’.;)

Jim I asked GA a question and the strange J-20 Hotdog got in between and messed it up

Some of it’s fascinating and do-able but it remains a case of trying to convince the powers to be in business and politics that the key word is sustainability not “grab money now quick from either joe public or the EU” and in 4-5 years they simply become eyesores and scientific relics.

It’s history now and we should let his ashes rest where the oceans distribute them

It’s history now and we should let his ashes rest where the oceans distribute them.
As a Christian nation we should respect that even criminals deserve final rest after death.
As for any other’s graves, well anything is possible in this strange world.

Okay I’ll be a silent observer

Okay I’ll be a silent observer.:)

My prime choice is air travel anyway within mainland Britain and once the recession eases if more cross city routes re-opened that would do me nicely thank you.

Enjoy yourselves.:D
