  1. Martin Duffy of Felt, Primal Scream and The Charlatans. That's another shocker. Lawrence and Duffy were the artistic core of Felt F*** thats more bad news Thats two West Midlands legends in a day
  2. Army size 62K Deployed Army size - 4.5K Potential to be deployed - maybe double that at a push, certainly less than 10k Reserve troops 350k (they have no capacity to equip these other than with small arms) Russia has already pretty much used all Belurus' reserves of vehicles The Belarus Army is little more than a border protection force I doubt they'd even reach Chernobyl if they tried. I also seriously doubt they'll try, more likely to depose Luka themselves than go to war against Ukraine. Ukraine has at least 3 full battalions of Belarusians fighting on their side. Battle hardened and experienced. They themselves will wipe out the Belarus army if they have no Russian support

    OK, ignore the actual facts, that's fine
  4. Not only that, he's saying next time he does a poll, only people who've paid for a blue tick will be able to vote Because that won't be rigged in his favour at all Free speech, that you have to pay for EDIT: Also, hold on what bots? He supposedly got rid of them all (which we all knew was bollocks but you know....)
  5. Terry Hall gone to the Ghost Town. 63 that’s a hell of a shocker

    Weather...

    It's not bizarre at all. The area of high pressure containing cold air from the east has been replaced by low pressure frontal systems with much warmer air from over the Atlantic There is absolutely nothing bizarre about it (and the diurnal temperature range for the 24 hours was nowhere near 18 degrees either) People associate the night with temperatures getting colder because there's no sun to heat the air up but in circumstances where cold air is replaced by warm air the temperature will go up. It's a perfectly normal event. It's not rare, it's not odd and it certainly isn't bizarre On Sunday in Liverpool we had a low of 1 degree and a high of 8, Today we've got a low of 10 and a high of 14 Going back to Friday we had a low of minus 7 and a high of 2 but the evening was much warmer than the previous morning. People weren't calling that bizarre even though the diurnal range was greater and the later part of the day was warmer than the early Go back a few more days and you'll see it happen again clicky
  7. That'll be a fibreoptic cable though ? Not quite the same thing The UK should get rid of all its old copper telephone network by 2025
  8. It's been my starting word for a few weeks
  9. Just bought this for a fiver. Their final album from 1988. Band leader Mitch Easter is better known for being the producer on the first two REM albums and some Suzanne Vega records This is co-produced by him and John Leckie It is absolutely of it's time, US College circuit jangle pop and paisley underground (Bangles, Dream Syndicate, R.E.M.

  14. The Rotary Club "So you want me to give you money, which I will have no say in where it gets used, so you can feel better about yourself and brag about being a rotarian down the pub" Blank look
  15. Yep, we usually play Ticket to RIde, its our board game of choice in recent years
  16. That could be a good thing. A simpleton filter
  17. Regardless of my thoughts on the man, that is an awful likelness, the body and head shape are all wrong
  18. I concur, I also think he best approach would be not to protest Musk disappearing people off Twitter and just go somewhere else. For sure let others know what has happened and point them in the direction of your new platform. It'll kill the shitshow with far far more efficiency Human rights though, that’s definitely a stretch.
  19. Wordle 546 4/6 Bah, that was initially my third word
  20. The Xmas stash. Shoot me if I buy any more beer
