Salt n Vinegar Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) In considering the UK's role in the world, when it is claiming to be interested in maintaining peace, I confess to being somewhat startled that of the 193 recognised members of the UN, Britain has at best a chequered military history with 9 out of 10 of them. According to Wikipedia.... "During its history, the United Kingdom's forces (or forces with a British mandate) have invaded, had some control over or fought conflicts in 171 of the world's 193 countries that are currently UN member states, or nine out of ten of all countries." The UK really has to up it's game. I'm pretty sure that with a little effort, we could score off most of the missing ones, with sensible spacing out so that our shrinking armed forces aren't sent to fight in the same place at the same time. The unticked boxes on the world list are Andorra, Belarus, Bolivia, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Kyrgyzstan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mali, Marshall Islands, Monaco, Mongolia, Paraguay, Sao Tome and Principe, Sweden, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Vatican City.

PTTGOYN thread for this, but that last part of the first para. makes no sense. 90% of them surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, on TV, they had blurred out her chest. I assumed she must have been topless or something, but no. Just cleavage. Weird. Probably a clip sourced from US TV. Dunno how it is now, but twenty years ago they'd blur women's arses if they were wearing regular swimsuits in the background of news reports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Hoodies are going to become the cardigans of the 2050s - the thing we're all wearing in nursing homes to keep warm, and that knife-toting young muggers wouldn't be seen dead wearing. Was there a time when lawbreaking rapscallions cut about in cardies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still the case the closest you get to titillation on American council telly is when Cookie Monster takes his apron off at the end of the Monster Foodiie Truck section on Sesame Street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine out of ten is the same proportion as 90 out of 100, but has one less significant figure, so is more right for 171/193 than 90%, which should be 89%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
