That photo was taken when she was six months' pregnant with her first kid. She's due to drop the second one very soon.

She does like her pies though.

Ok - so it's a must to wear a tie to a wedding but when a woman wears a dress that makes her look like a lady she's called frumpy?

[Karabiner]

Leaving aside rights and wrongs, its tough to see what will resolve this isn't it? No matter how much the Israelis throw at it in military might they aren't going to stop the rocket attacks

The solution isn't a military one though, is it?

No. So what's the political solution likely to be acceptable to both?

There is no political solution acceptable to both.

The foundation of Hamas' manifesto is the total destruction of the State of Israel.

Democracy does not work either when faced with suicide bombers who see civilians as legitimate targets and an enemy that strategecally launches it's rockets from residential areas so that any reprisal is bound to result in civilian casualties which it then uses to try and  elicit international sympathy.

Frump

• noun an unattractive woman who wears dowdy old-fashioned clothes

I don't think that definition entirely fits in with that picture.

And as Crow points out she is quite pregnant in that picture so her choice of frocks might be a little limited

Note to self.

Be careful in future as to whom I address as frumpy. I know - or thought I knew - several frumpy young Ladies.

Hamas isn't the people of Palestine.

I don't recall describing you as "frumpy". Not in so many words, like. Yo.

Oi you! Why did you remove that picture?

I put it on and then took it off but didn't realise I'd left it on so it went on, but then I took it off. There will be a test on this so I hope you were following

Hamas isn't the people of Palestine.

It's the Palestinian's elected government, Hamas took over when it ousted Yasser Arafat's PLO in free democratic elections.

Are we talking about the dress, or the picture?

And Israel denying the people of Palestine basic food & medical supplies is going to stop bombs? The blockade was stepped up as soon as Hamas won the election, because a calming of the situation wouldn't have suited Israel. That's western democracy for you "Vote for your leaders, unless we disagree with you".

I'll be demonstrating outside the Lloyds TSB at the weekend as they've closed or frozen the accounts of humanitarian aid charities for the Palestinian people. Still it'll stop more aid workers getting shot or blown up by Israelli troops I suppose.

Is this poker only, or everything?

I meant everything. Your poker chats are good, your 'everything' chats are even better.

[Royal Flush]

I think the good idea would have been not to create the state of Israel and arm it to the teeth in the first place....

Noted. More is on the way. Be warned.

Kudos to Dewi, for the idea.

And how long do you think The State of Israel would have lasted had it not been "armed to the teeth" ?

It is worth bearing in mind that the Israeli armed forces are called the IDF, Israeli Defense Force.
