Utterly horrible!
Some old and reportedly haunted houses would have false doors and entrances built in to 'confuse the spirits'.The missing door: This entry is almost perfect. The only thing missing from it is an entrance.
A fascinating thought. France pays back the full price to Russia. China buys them at half of the full price and sells them on to Russia for the same price.11 May

Some media speculating France may use current visit of helicopter carrier DIXMUDE to Shanghai (rmks: training squadron on long-planned cruise) to offer MISTRAL class helicopter carriers built for Russia to the Chinese Navy.
LOL... You make a good businessman delft... But your scenario is possible. Crazier things have happened in the world of military acquisition. I mean I'm still waiting for PLAN to install roulette tables and slot machines in liaoning's hanger.From Marine Forum Daily News:

Everybody wins. France still gets their money while appearing innocent, Russia get the mistral and china plays middleman and gets a huge cut and maybe some criticisms from the Obama admin which they will happily take as a small repercussion.
Mobility scooter driver knocked down and repeatedly ran over pedestrian
Police are hunting a mobility scooter driver in his 70s who they say deliberately knocked down a pedestrian and ran over him several times, resulting in the victim needing hospital treatment.
The 67-year-old pedestrian suffered a broken ankle and knee in the incident in on Monday afternoon.
A Hampshire police spokesman said: “The victim was on the pavement on Portswood Road when he was knocked over by another man who was on a mobility scooter.
“The victim was run over by the mobility scooter a number of times and has sustained injuries to his leg including a broken ankle and knee. He is currently in hospital receiving treatment for his injuries. A woman intervened to assist the victim.”
The attacker is described as white, in his mid- to late 70s, 5ft 9ins and of slim build, with short grey hair and clean-shaven.
DC Dal Andrews said: “We believe the victim was deliberately targeted in this unprovoked attack. There were a number of people present at the time and when the ambulance crew were in attendance. I am appealing for these people to get in contact with us as they may have information that could assist our investigation.”
