Shouldn't it be spelt epicaricacy? That clever google AI says it's: Epicaricacy (pronounced
ep-ih-kar-IK-uh-see). I wonder if languages other than German and English have a word for it. I'll bet they have one in the US White House!

Although Gimp is working fine for me I now find I've another problem with Gthumb. I mentioned a problem after a Gthumb update on Thursday when it was crashing each time I tried to open an image for editing but I re-installed and it seemed all was OK. Then yesterday I found a different problem... Whe...

Mrs Tiz is on the same latest versions of Ubuntu and Gimp as you are but it works OK on her PC. Probably best to leave what you've got for now then try again later.

I'd not used Gimp recently but was using the gThumb editor every day. Then on Wednesday I opened gThumb and could view the thumbnail pics but every time I clicked on one it flashed up the full image but it immediately vanished and crashed the app. This was just after downloading that morning's regul...

At the moment the discussion is focussed on questions being asked in Congress about what intelligence Trump had from the CIA and other services that led him to believe that the US had to follow Israel in attacking Iran because Iran was on the ver4ge of having a viable atomic weapon. Yes, Netanyahu'...

I have always suspected that he was being played by Netanyahu and this resignation seems to bear that out. Likewise, I have always suspected that he was being played by Putin. He's been so soft and friendly with Putin that it makes me wonder whether in the time between Trump's two periods in office...

Did you hear the interview on this morning's Today programme with the retired American army general? He was scathing about Trump and his war on Iran and I'll bet that many of the serving top US military officers think the same even though they dare not say it. I wonder how many senior US military me...

Well said, McFadden and Carter. We should send them to the White House to explain to Trump and his cronies what NATO is about... :smile: `US-Israeli attack on Iran is not a Nato war - UK minister Pat McFadden says' BBC News More now from BBC Radio 4's Today programme, where Work and Pensions Ministe...

...the US may hit Iran's Kharg Island "a few more times just for fun". That sums up Trump's attitude to war. There are lots of news reports saying that an amphibious group of the USS Tripoli and 5000 marines is being sent in to sort out the Hormuz problem. But when will they arrive and wh...

So much burning oil has been released that it's running along street drains and creating a wall of fire and toxic black smoke. That can then trigger fires in buildings elsewhere. It's just one big awful catastrophe created by Trump and Netanyahu.

It's effectively chemical warfare by the US and Israel and will cause lifelong illnesses and early deaths among Iranians and anyone else affected by the wind. The lighter particles, vapours and gases will affect surrounding countries too.

It looks like the US military have sunk to the same depths as the Israeli military... `US missile hit military base near Iran school, video analysis shows' LINK A US Tomahawk missile hit a military base near a primary school in southern Iran where Iranian authorities said 168 people, including aroun...

It's OK chaps, don't worry, Greece, Italy, France, Spain and the Netherlands have already sent fighter jets to protect Cyprus and now Turkey has sent theirs too (although they may only protect Turkey's bit of the island, of course). And we're sending a Royal Navy destroyer - once we work out how to ...

We insured our classic cars with a specialist which was always much cheaper than standard insurance because they know owners of classics are careful and don't want to damage their cars! Incidentally, a lady I know whose husband worked at the ROF in Chorley has just stopped driving and sent back her ...

I'm glad the Ukrainians are being so creative in their approach to the Russian invasion. I hope our military are taking note - it's not aircraft carriers we need but robots. `Necessity is the mother of invention'... `Armed robots take to the battlefield in Ukraine war' LINK Meanwhile, America is stu...

My friend the late John Harrison ran a Rolls for a while because he said it was cheaper than any other big car if bought sensibly, second-hand. In the late 1980s we had one of the last classic Series 3, 4.2 litre, XJ6 Daimler Sovereigns. We never had any trouble with it, nothing ever failed, it ran...

...Earlier, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed a US submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean - the Pentagon released footage of the strike. About 180 people are thought to have been on board the Iris Dena - 32 were rescued and Sri Lankan authorities say 80 bodies have so far been...

It's a simple matter for me. Trumps actions are a direct contravention of International Law. Rory Stewart said the same on the Today programme this morning and added that Trump failed to consult with the Senate etc and nor did he communicate with the UN before going ahead. He's copying Putin with h...

Stanley, more on Trump... `Threats of retaliation causing anxiety in the US' LINK The threats of retaliation traded between Washington and Tehran are creating a sense of anxiety here in the United States, especially after President Trump warned there could be American military casualties. We have se...

Yes. Even Republicans are turning against him. His core supporters voted for him because he promised to Make America Great Again by turning inwards and not getting involved in fighting wars. Also he was going to `Drain the Swamp' but instead has refused to make Epstein information public by redactin...
