He has driven home for Christmas for the last time. RIP

After the Trumpfantino bromance manifestation and that hilarious peace prize, the contributions to world peace from Dear Leader are: Introducing a blockade on Venezuela and threatening war Reigniting the Greenland issue Continuing to push for a deal in the Ukraine war on Putin's premises. And...

Having just listened to one of my all-time favourite performances of a Christmas-themed song, it struck me I should ask what songs bring the holiday spirit to 11 in the heart of Maidenfans? What song warms your soul, brings fond memories or even moves you to the point where the wee Christmas...

It took time, but it happened!

No,no. When you read vile things Trump writes on Truth Social, it is MSM who have brainwashed you into reading it that way. He is really a kind-hearted unselfish man and if it weren't for TDS you would easily read that between the lines.

It could also be that confronting Venezuela is something others in the administration have been pushing for. Their nationalization of oil assets did cause a lot of issues. I have a limited overview of this, but as I understand it there have been international court rulings about how the scores...

Correct, they are, but ... since when did Trump have a problem with that?

And now they've declared that the Maduro regime is a "terror organization" and will implement an oil blockade against Venezuela. Peace for our time, eh?

Well well well, weapons of mass destruction. Wasn't that the argument Bush Jr used to start the Gulf War Mk II back in 2003?

Exactly. Acting as if it is a real thing just dumbs down the discussion. When an elected leader acts the way Trump does and has done for years, reacting with anger isn't unnatural and definitely not an indication of a syndrome of any kind.

Unlike many others who lack class, Trump can't even be bothered to pretend he has got any. He regularly stoops to levels that are low even for random people posting on the internet. The sad thing is, he has been like that since befre he entered the political stage. The difference from 2015 to...

They've told us what we need to know. The result was not just good, it was the best. Ever. In History, with capital H. What they looked for and what they found? Not significant :ninja:

About the album. Is it only me, or does the beginning of "The Cycle of Songs" (up to the 0:40 mark) remind anyone of Queensrÿche?

You'r probably right, the number 6000 was just something I had in the back of my memory from a long time back. And yes, although I think there were more than 8-9000 there yesterday it wasn't full. Agree about those "legends", they could've cut it down a bit, it took away the momentum. And...

Agreed. There is no point trying to deduce a specific diagnosis (except if one think playing Dr. House on the internet is fun, of course) :D On your point 2 - that is also something I think many are underestimating. Being president (especially of the US) is a very demanding job, even with...

The Stable Genius (tm) is repeatedly bragging about acing these difficult cognitive tests (which it appears he has done more than once since he took office in January). Makes me wonder whether: - He knows that the tests are done because his doctors want to monitor him for signs of cognitive...

Happy Birthday @Brigantium - hope it's been a rocking one! :cheers:

No shit, Sherlock :D

Seeing them next Thursday. This time at the indoor arena now renamed Unity Arena, which isn't exactly known for great sound, so not ideal. Last time I saw them was at Oslo Spektrum which is a smaller arena (around 6000, Maiden played there on the Early Days tour). That place has much better...

So, today is the draw of the 2026 World Cup. And the announcement of the very first Fifa peace prize ... Wonder who the nominees are. As for the draw itself, I expect a long-winded and not very easy-to-follow procedure, considering all the different constraints to the draw: - Top four FIFA...
