There's a whole level of unjustified assumption in there

By definition, it can't be

Its cold today, fleece on

Your Andrew RIdgely phase obviously

No-one picked you up on this you absolute monster The rest of you are no better than the Queen over her Nonce son, you're all enabling this deviancy

Would I go to the funeral of a family member I never met? No, why would I? Funerals aren't events, they serve a purpose for those that knew the person The Queen died, going to her funeral is like going to the funeral of your favourite soap character. The general public didn't know the Queen, they knew her public persona, much like most public figures, it was an act.

Most people are both, it just depends on the circumstances. Example. Someone manages to assassinate Putin- I’m completely not arsed Someone manages to assassinate Zelensky- that would bother me

Instead we have King Charles III, Monarch of the MiddleEastern bung Hep the nonce is worse but Charles is hardly Mr Squeeky Clean himself

VisitEngland's website offers three top reasons why people choose to come to England on Holiday. They are… William Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes and Pride & Prejudice. A quick scan of that page didn't mention Royals or Royal heritage once Highest ranked Royal Tourist Attraction in London from attendance figures is the Tower of London. It’s 8th in the list, the only other place with a potential Royal connection, is Kew Gardens in 10th. People go to the Tower because of its history, they'd go to the Tower for its history regardless of whether we still had a Monarchy or not (Not arguing with you Tony, just thought it was interesting you mentioned Sherlock Holmes and so did they) I imagine that there are more dumb lunatics with no taste in the world that come to the UK to see Beatles related shite than come specifically because we have a currently active monarchy

The figures are a work of fiction.

Once Russia is out of Ukraine, they will not attack Ukraine again as Ukraine will join NATO

In a survey conducted in 2013 only 2% of Crimeas population spoke Ukrainian yet 20% of the population identified as Ukrainian. Even Russias own bogus census in 2014 had the Ukrainian + Crimean Tarter population combined at 28% though the last proper census in 2001 had those combined ethnicities at 35% Yes it has a majority of Russian speakers but its actually at one of its lowest post-WWII levels. I also imagine a lot of those Russian speakers that aren't connected to the military / Secret Services etc would rather be Ukrainian moving forward. A lot of the ones that are connected to the Military / Secret Services / Govenment have already left, not just recently but even just before February this year as those with an inkling of the future started to sell their homes. Recently Crimean homes have been selling for buttons with the mass exodus that has been taking place It's going to be hard to take Crimea but not impossible. Once Ukraine reach the Black Sea Coast around Mariupol and retake Kherson, Crimea will essentially be f***ed. The Kerch Bridge will be in range and they can cut off Crimeas water supply from the Dnipro. Crimea doesn't have a real water supply of it's own and once the Kerch bridge is down, it's cut off from the Russian mainland I also don't think NATO countries will be too happy if Russia kept hold of Crimea

Peresic manages to get a yellow card after being subbed for running on the pitch when Son scores. Thanks

Crimea is very important economically, it has oil and gas in abundance There are plenty of Ukrainians in Crimea. There will also be plenty of people who no longer want to be Russian after this shitshow

46 points so far (with 10BP to come) only Martinelli and Peresic left to play for me

I doubt the pen would have been spotted without Trippier complaining

Isak also currently topping the bonus points in the game too

Yeah but some people have triple Newcastle defence, I have Pope and Trippier

F*** you Bournemouth grrrr That goal killed a lot of FPL dreams this week

Isak is probably the most anonymous Newcastle player on the pitch, the most he’s done so far is get accidentally headbutted

A 30p charidee shop purchase about a year ago. Cover is knackered but the vinyl is in great nick. Moroder being Moroder. As well as Call Me by Blondie, there's the Moroder intrumental version called Night Drive (full and reprise) but its the other more filmic bits I really like

Still reeling them in, day after day. As ever, check the replies

Where are you getting the captaincy stats from?. I've seen them somewhere, just can't remember where

Yep same here

Due to OPSEC, there is not a lot of confirmed news out there nor is the much in the way of things blowing up, most of the relevent vids are most definitely NSFW But here's some news of advances, no one really knows when they were from but they haven't been announced previously nor still aren't officially. The Russians seem to have chucked everything at the defence of Lyman Both those villages are on the left bank of the Siverskyi Donets river, which was thought to be the line of contact the Russians had fallen back to, so both are significant evidence of further advances and I think I'm right in saying that the Siverskyi Donets is the last major water channel between the Ukrainian troops and the Russian border in that direction. The Russians are fiercely defending Lyman because its on the last major supply route into Ukraine from Belgogrod. If Lyman falls it will have a further significant impact on Russian supply routes to the main Donbas fighting areas
