  1. Got my Virgin deal down by about £40 a month and increased the speed of my broadband a few weeks ago. The only thing I ditched were kids tv and an international call allowance
  2. Now I'm onto this which has been out a while but is very unlike Stealing Sheeps usual pop material. I heard bits of it the other day and realised it was right up my street This is a reimagined new soundtrack to the 1973 French cult sci-fi animation movie La Planete Sauvage Oh I forgot the best bit, it's Stealing Sheep & The Radiophonic Workshop Very much in the same vein as the library music of Castles in Space
  3. Hmmm slipped in to town to pick up this which was on order... bonafide classic L$P from the Black Ark years. New remastered reissue
  4. Yep again in Kherson where apparently the Khadyrovites that were sent in the other day as Barrier Troops, their usual role, have been attacked by the Russian troops who they were meant to be enforcing to fight from the rear
  5. This one is VERY pinch of salt but if true is massive. Just a rumour but is being spread (with much caution) by a fair few accounts
  6. Nope, a hell of a lot of the experienced soldiers have been wiped out There really are no big guns that have been held back. The only things held back are the newer wonder weapons which are thought by an awful lot of people to be just not very good.
  7. Working class kids who passed the 11plus, went to Grammar School, that’s what Starmer did. There was no “sending” you had to be clever enough to pass the exam, that was the education system at the time. Starmer going to that school had absolutely nothing to do with his families financial situation, that was the education system at the time. Do you know how leafy Surrey was in the '60s? That bit is just classic inverted snobbery tbh
  8. You mean like Sir Kier Starmer. Mother a nurse, father a toolmaker His upbringing is as working class as it gets
  9. It wasn't resign, they called for the Duma to charge him with treason All 7 have been subsequently arrested I think.
  10. The missus just shouted a big swear in the other room I rushed in to see what was wrong (its usually my fault) Whats wrong? Are you OK? She likes to watch news with coffee on a Sunday morning "Even Al Jazeera is full of this Queen shit" At least it wasn't me for once!
  11. Just outside Donestsk itsitself, which is due north of Maruipol, so whilst Ukraine were attacking in Kherson and Kharkiv they effectively opened a third active front sort of south of the middle bit in the East that they already controlled Yes there were two previous battles of Donestsk airport so it's recapture is somewhat symbolic, there are wiki pages dedicated to the two battles, the second finished in early 2015 with the Russians controlling the airport and the Ukrainians retreating
  12. I agree its highly unlikely, could just be wild rumours spread amongst demoralised russian military Not seen much more on it yet
  13. That Truss bounce people were predicting, well there were some council by-elections on Thursday And yes, Foggy Furse is the name of a ward in Hartlepool Those are seats in some significant areas with signs of tactical voting in the Lancaster one
  14. There is seemingly no stopping this. Thats pretty much the whole of the Kharkiv Oblast liberated There doesn't appear to be much in the way of actual fighting going on. Lots of running for home and leaving all kinds of stuff behind. Reports of 50 abandoned tanks in Izyum alone It appears to be full on retreat
  15. Pinch of salt time but there are Russian telegram channels reporting that Ukraine have taken Donetsk Airport. That seems somewhat incredulous but there are multiple Russian sources. Donestsk Airport has been under RUssian control since 2015 and had two huge battles there. If they have retaken it, that is massively symbolic It also means Ukraine are pushing forward in a completely different direction again But like I said, pinch of salt
