Us too. For defence and humanitarian reasons only. In fact, Nuremgard was recently approached by the international community to hold peace talks to help end a civil war in a nation in our sphere of influence. We refused to hold the talks though because it would have meant giving safe passage to a war criminal.

Please tell me there's a live stream of these shenanigans.

It'll probably be in French, so God forbid.

I will gladly watch a live stream en Francais. Sometimes I go and watch old videos of Mulcair from back when he was an MNA. They're very calming, I go to sleep to them.

We only mobilize in the event of:
1) The Motherland has been directly invaded or attacked
2) One of our allies is unable to militarily handle the situation

My other country Shazria has a very different policy. It's an empire so it has an expansionist, imperialist foreign policy.

You lucky Canadians get to see the French surrender to themselves while us Americans see our political leaders make the world less safe while also ruining our relationship with our trans-Atlantic allies.

We don't do that, we keep our borders nice and and maintained but we're not imperialists, unlike some nations in the world.

Hello all! Sorry I've been busy; I was meaning to post yesterday, but I never got around to it. I managed to talk to Duck and James yesterday about their argument, and thankfully, they were both at Knapford at the same time (James was about to take a goods train to Killdane, and Duck was arriving with a passenger train from Arlesburgh). I helped them talk things through, and they've made up! While I can't promise the two will never argue again, since I'm not sure I can keep that promise, they did tell me they won't get so personal like that ever again.
Duck: Yes. I think we both went a little too far that night, taking digs at each others' designs and saying the other wasn't valued by his original railways. I know I was a bit wound up that night because the Slip Coaches were in for maintenance, leaving me stuck with those bothersome ballast trucks.
James: And I was feeling a bit puffed-up after Sir Topham Hatt rode on my passenger train and complimented me on my smooth journey. I was so confident and proud of myself after that, that I acted kinda stupid.
Duck: We all makes mistakes sometimes. Let bygones be bygones, forgive and forget, eh James?
James: Agreed. Water under the bridge.
Between 52 and 200 people? Oh my! That's a lot of people! Really makes you realize that even Sodor's most serious accidents aren't so bad, compared to stuff like that. As always, my condolences to all those affected.
Oh yes, I've heard of those! I saw a lot of people eating them back when I worked in a Lancashire yard last summer. I've never tried one, though, being a steam engine and all.

A reminder that a proposal entitled the Political Organization (Repeal) Act is currently being debated. The debate period will conclude tomorrow at 11am Eastern. It will be moved to a vote shortly thereafter.

I'm alright mate, gotta revise all my content for tomorrow's exam on research methods (it's borderline coding and I do politics it's f*cking ridiculous), but I've been having good fun enjoying the sunshine and bunning zoots recently too much that it has started to have an impact on my revision, but I need very little to pass - wbu?
Nuremgard
Oh, God. Research methods is horrendous isn't it? I need to do 2 research classes next year for my politics module. My final exam is next week. I've been alright but my dermatitis has been playing up really badly. And since it mostly affects my face, I've not had the confidence to set foot outside the door, which means I've been missing the sunshine.
Aw man that's peak I'm very sorry to hear that, research methods is horrible though - I hate it with a burning passion.
Nuremgard
Same. Hated it at college, hate it at uni. I'm actually doing 3 research classes next year. 2 for politics and 1 for history. It's dire.
The West Country
Jeez, I'm dropping the sh*te
Nuremgard
I would if I could but sadly, the research classes are compulsory for me.
Fair dos, I'm not sure whether I'll get my options but I wanna do War and Security, Politics Outside the West and Democracy in Britain.
Nuremgard
My main political module next year will be Parliamentary Studies. Apparently this will include trips to Holyrood and/or Westminster, as well as a talk with John Bercow (if he's still in his position by then.) As for history, I'm doing Cold War Europe and The Westward Enterprise: Scotland, Ulster and America.

I love seeing him metaphorically spank the MPs. One Tory MP complained "he treats us like children." Perhaps he should since most of them act like it.
Mercunova, The West Country
A lot of it is because they're colleagues and they have banter, the SNP get annihilated by him sometimes, I remember him having a right go at Alex Salmond
I did have to laugh when he admonished them for daring to clap. It's fine for MPs to laugh and shout like hyenas, and hurl insults across the chamber, but clapping? Well that's too far. To be fair though, Salmond has become a right pain in the arse since he resigned as FM.
having had American-style pancakes for the first time recently, I can confirm they are the best breakfast food available
Jaslandia, Midasia
That's why they're all fatties over there.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, The West Country
It's because hear hear is supposed to not interrupt the person speaking - applause drowns out the speaker and it's been that way for hundreds of years. A committee also said this on the matter "while we agree that spontaneous clapping at the end of a speech could in no way be interpreted as disturbance of the speaker, there is a danger that such a practice might be open to abuse and could lead in certain circumstances to orchestration of what would amount to standing ovations with the success or failure of a speech being judged not by its content but by the relative length of the ovation at the end."
Sounds like a load of pish to me but hey, I think everything about Westminster is pish. ;)
I like the tradition of it, it looks silly because it's old - a lot of medieval and enlightenment era customs would look very foreign to us
I hate the pomp and circumstance of the British Parliament. Much prefer the simplicity and modernity of Holyrood.
If the roles were reversed you'd be telling us you much prefer the traditional pomp and circumstance of Holyrood.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, The West Country
I love culture and history, suits me down to the ground. The integrity of our parliament is grounded in its history and links to the past.
Jaslandia, Mercunova, Percyton
Scottish pomp and circumstance is of course superior to English pomp and circumstance. :P
I'm kidding. I'd criticise Holyrood if it behaved like Westminster. The only thing I dislike about the Scottish Parliament is that it's f*cking ugly. At least Westminster looks the part. Although the grandeur of Westminster does delude the politicians inside it into believing they are more important than they are.
Well that's your personal opinion and I respect that. I dislike everything about Westy except for its aesthetic as I said.

How is everyone doing?
Russkov Soviet, Percyton
I think it's more of a human-centric quiz too. I'm a steam engine, so as my Driver would say, 'I don't have any dogs in this fight' (which sounds like a horrible thing to say: Why would you want dogs to fight? That's animal abuse!). The closest thing I have to breakfast is coal and water, and that's all I really need. We don't even have set meals, really: we just fill up on coal and water whenever we're running low, or at the most convenient time.
Jaslandia, The West Country
Hello, Span! I'm good. Just dropped off some pigs at Farmer McColl's farm, and now I'm heading up to the quarry to pick up some stone trucks. How are you today?
Jaslandia
A lot better actually, after we have secured Madrid what little remained of the so called
´´Red People's Republican United Army´´
has surrendered, also possibly due to us executing their leadership in a surprise attack at their High Command.
With our new gained power i am sure that Spanelsko and Iberia will see a lot better future with less deaths on our soil.
