Had a good chat with Richard, reminiscing about how we collectively killed the vice chancellor when we were at Uni and he’s going to send me a copy of the first Oracle Sounds release when I get in touch, he reckons he’s got about 5 copies left and I can have one. There’s also a third volume that he’s just sent to the pressing plant only this week. Great night lots of old friends there and one woman who I’d rather have not seen

Already going in the bath in preparation right now Richard Norris and Bob from Probe DJing a set from Richard’s old Thursday night at the Bierkeller from when we were at Uni. I nearly offered to come out of retirement and spin a few for the warm up! Probably gonna skip the book bit though. Just hoping his old mate from Uni Maria Breslin isn’t there because I might just have to leave or I'll cause a scene (she’s now the editor of the Liverpool Echo)

Only in Wed and Thur this week

I used to be on the taste the can side, you very much could taste the can but something has changed in recent years and I can’t any more. It could be a number of factors at play My tastebuds are buggered - not convinced it’s that canning technology has changed - possible I rarely ever drink big brand massed produced beers in cans any more - could be this too It could just be that craft beers which I do occasionally drink out of a can don’t pick up that metallic taste as much or because they are smaller runs they also don’t sit in the can as long Other factors I've not yet considered Anyway, I'm no longer on the taste the can side. It definitely used to be a thing, so much so I didn’t drink canned beer for many years

Yeah and that one

@sidcowis conflicted

The Rosgvadiya were used extensively in the early stages of the Ukraine war, so they likely aren’t exactly up to full strength.

FTFY

This is why ISIS-K have released photos of the men that carried out the attack

Pardon?

I didn’t know you cared?

Well I think that’s the longest I’ve taken on a 3 for sometime, certainly stretched the grey matter Wordle 1,008 3/6

But you’ve based it on the England 1966 World Cup training kit

It’s nowhere near that simple. Putin also has key allies that are Muslim. Kadyrov the Chechen warlord and head of state is Muslim as are all his men. Russia is on the ground in Syria on the side of the government (Muslim) against IS (Muslim), it has been a rather significant ally to Syria and has seriously degraded IS in that theatre, it has a key strategic ally in Iran (Muslim) and possibly most importantly right now is trying to reach out to the Taliban in Afghanistan. That last one is the most important here because that group that carried out yesterdays attack is ISIS-K, the Afghan branch of ISIS, whose sworn enemy is the Taliban

If anything was the false flag it was this. IIRC a number of foreign governments issued warnings from their embassies telling their citizens to avoid public places in Russia as an attack from an Islamic terror group was highly likely.That Russia managed to foil this attack within hours always seemed a little convenient

Last Studio Album Last vocal performance Im waiting for the last time he miked up farm animals in the studio album

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

At least 40 dead and 100 injured. Seems to have all the hallmarks of a terrorist att k and not directly Ukraine related

@sne want!

Definitely, two of my daughter's journalist friends told her weeks ago

Yep, I've seen the four attackers entering the concert hall one, not pleasant

Compare and contrast the King going into the same hospital at the same time and the country is told he has cancer, all he’s had since is sympathy

Ah no, they opted to this time and every time. Once you start with the media game, there’s no going back. They made themselves public property, they changed the game themselves, they courted it. It is all about the optics and approval ratings so they can justify their drain on the public purse. I feel extremely sorry that she has cancer as I would with anyone else but the media game they play, they have to expect when they are bad at it, that it goes tits up

Of course they don’t have to, they opt to
