  1. He's never met Zelensky since the prelude to the war (if ever) and last time him and Putin met, it was in China. Putin went to him. The differences are subtle but big at the same time
  2. Britains largest dildo saleswoman, Jaqueline Gold has gone at 62 (head Honcho of Anne Summers)
  3. Street view Google maps. How do google know that I want to face to opposite direction to the one they give me, every time!!! its not even 50/50 Its almost a guarantee to be facing the wrong way Grrrrrr EDIT: I should add that the way I work, they know what I'm looking for because I'll have searched that already but it shows be the view as if I have my back to the building, I don't want to see the view from that place I want to see that place. It's bloody stupid
  4. To be fair that seems to be the narrative being pushed by the two candidates who think it's a stitch up. And as the figures came from the SNP...
  5. Both speak bollocks in their own language, sit down at a table flags behind them, shake hands
  6. A bit but not much seems to be the consensus but that doesn't really matter, I doubt he speaks Russian or Ukrainian either. There are people to do that for him
  7. He's having a meeting with Zelensky at some point too. This is Xi playing world statesman
  8. Because that's all I know. I had no idea he was a practising Muslim.
  9. Is Forbes the religious one? What about the other candidate? Is he really favourite? Seems like a right bellend tbh, why would they ch..... no forget I said that
  10. Brighton have one game more than Leicester left to play and March is particularly in form right now, he's been very unlucky. Could have scored quite a few more in the last few games apart from the changed OG
  11. Makes sense to me because when I used my WC the other week, I made sure I had plenty of spare cash so I could just buy him back the following week (or the week after as CIty only have one game in the DGW) If I'd kept him, I'd be playing with 10, sold him and now I have 11
  12. So today it was announced that SNP membership is down 40% on it's 2019 peak, which might give an indication as to why Sturgeon resigned, or not, who knows. I've not really followed the leadership election much because it's of little interest. There was obviously the religious nut candidate and the other two. I've detected quite a bit of dislike from Scottish voters for this guy but after this you really do have to think he's a bit of a tit at the very least.
  13. If that was the case, I'm not sure how they'd achieve a complete turn around. The Russian public have been subject to ludicrous propaganda for such a long period, they can't just flick a switch and change everyone's minds. They may well ease away but I doubt it'll be that swift. It's not like the sanctions will ease. Ukraine would be after reparations, there's all sorts they'd need to explain and in a way that whoever does take over wouldn't themselves be implicated. Because of what they've done in Ukraine and what they've told the Russian public they can't just go "Thats it we're leaving." The are tens of thousands of families (at least) without their fathers or sons, to be then told their sacrifice was based on a lie and utterly futile is another thing they'd have to try and sell. It just wouldn't be that easy.

    Has it got the stupid split rear screen on the 5? We've got a load of 4s and the rear split screen is highly irritating

    Well yes thats a big part of the reason but there's also that they are all still in transition switching over from petrol and just don't have the capacity too

    Another reason Tesla are so far ahead on sales is because they are pretty much the only company with decent delivery times right now There are much better cars but they are like rocking horse shit to find
  17. Fire investigators in Russia are very good, they've already determined that a short circuit caused it and that exploded the fuel tanks.
  18. Creep is becoming the new Louie Louie
  19. The escalation is Turkey allowing US Warships through the canal into the Black Sea
  20. Posted for @Jareth The ISW posted this yesterday and agrees with Ukraine's assessment that the Russian offensive is culminating as the daily attacks have significantly reduced in the last week. More about Wagner and other stuff on the link ISW
  21. I don't watch Twitter, I use Reddit, I just post the tweets etc from twitter because its a cleaner post but... There's a bit of discussion about this tonight, nearly all the sources are Russian but consensus appears to be that this was a recon by fire, a quickish in and out with a number of possible aims. Obviously testing the defences but also maybe an attempt to get Russian to strengthen the line here and pull troops away from Vulehar and / or the bank of the river. It could also be a fient to try and telegraph future intent and they will actually push in a completely different direct when the bezdorizhzhia season is over(raputista is a Russian word). Also there seems to have been a number of battles with different concentrations of Russian forces (at least three), there are videos of burning vehicles in fields and artillery fire, one of which has been geolocated as being 34km west of Polohy which is distinctly and considerably behind what is currently considered to be the front line. I think it's important to remember that the current stalemate along the line was always predicted at this time of year because of the conditions, not only that but theres no evidence that the new promised armour is in play yet. I think a lot of it is in Poland waiting for the right time to send it into Ukraine as its far safer to store it and get it battle ready in a NATO country than in Ukraine. Some Russian spys were detained very recently in Poland attempting to report on concentrations of mechanised armour. There are definitely signs that Russia is running short of a lot of basic ordnance, missiles appear to be in short supply, even artillery shells aren't being used as much. I haven't heard of Iranian drones for quite a while and in the last wave of missiles (Last week?) the Russians used a few Khinzal hypersonic missiles, they don't launch those often because they really don't have many, it's new. It could be they did it as a show of strength, or testing them against NATO air defences but it could also be because they needed to because they are not exactly flush with missiles having used af***ton of them so far. There are even stories of soldiers being sent into battle with trenching tools for rifles (nad that came from our MOD) and even sticks, though I suspect the sticks one was bollocks, it looked to me like they were makeshift crutches rather than weapons but hey ho Russia is seemingly running short of a lot of kit
