  1. Right some is easily explainable. 5 of the sites were Army Recruiting offices. They were all seemingly set alight with Molotov cocktails by young Russian males. Why? Because the Spring Conscription Draft is about to take place (usually happens twice a year) and they don’t want to get blown to bits in Ukraine. It’s normally just a year of their life they lose not weeks to the end of their life. Yesterdays fires were highly suspicious given the targets, I think there is a possibility of some sort of direct connection with Ukraine there. Todays however looked like so tyres on fire in a yard from what I could see Also there was a train suspiciously derailed today near Belvogrod or wherever it was near to the Ukraine border. Again you’d think that may be sabotage
  2. Or speaking English can slow you down 33%
  3. Challenger 2 chasis. Completely new turret and LOTS of other gizmos
  4. Here's a prediction. This will end up in the bargain bins and again, June 18th Nope, changed my mind, it'll be this oh June 18th again Nope, as I remember it, this was in the second hand shops not long after it was released, guess what.... yep June 18th Christ they are releasing some absolute dog shit, Sheena bloody Easton FFS Actually, I might me interested in this... but as these never really get snapped up (last couple of RSD ones are still in shops unsealed) I won't be rushing, oh I won't even have to, guess what... June 18th (actually all of the Soul Jazz Comps interest me) And this by Sun's Signature (thats a collaboration between Elizabeth Fraser and some bloke that might have been a former Bunnyman Damon Reece) But guess what... June I gave up looking to see if the Morricone / John Barry releases were out tomorrow So apart from David Bowie is anything actually being released tomorrow
  5. First record I clicked on just now in the RSD list had this comment on it... "Due to manufacturing delays, this title will be available in participating record shops on June 18th." I suspect that might be a bit of a feature this year
  6. So as it's RSD 2022 tomorrow, anyone got their eye on anything? Big fat sod all for me
  7. Someone with a really good copy with an awful or missing cover might buy it I guess
  8. That was accepted last year I think. $800 million deal was signed
  9. They are using the excuse of Purdah for the local elections. You will notice that none of these people are candidates and not all of them are even members of a political party
  10. Worth a read on the artillery and related ordnance the US are now going to deliver to Ukraine
  11. Cameron took us out of the European Union with the referendum. That will do more damage to this country in the long term than Johnson will ever manage.
  12. Well off the top of my head that's either Dorries or Truss. I could probably come up with more
  13. I had a similar rationale. Why take a drug that makes you be nice to people you can't stand
  14. Yes exactly, he chose his side based on what it would do for his image once the referendum was lost, so he could become leader. It didn't quite work out as he planned (Gove famously knifing him in the back) but he got there eventually and what a clusterf*** he's made of it
  15. He hasn't been championing it the whole of his career. What people need to understand about Brexit and the Conservative Party is that Brexit is all about and always was about the survival of the Conservative Party. Before the referendum, the Conservative Party were both under pressure from UKIP electorally and had a throbby "ideological" wing of the parliamentary party which was by no means in the majority but was big enough to potentially split the party in two. Cameron won the election and promised a referendum which had the double edged effect of calming the throbby faction and prevented more votes leaking to UKIP. Cameron won the election and this saved the party from splitting in two Johnson has flip flopped on the EU his entire career... Ch4 Fact Check Johnson has always done what Johnson thinks is best for Johnson, nothing else. He famously couldn't decide which side of the debate he was on in the run up to the referendum and had to write two articles one for remain one for leave. He only decided right at the death which team to support The hard line ERG throbbers have used Johnson to get out of Europe, his usefulness is coming to an end and they are no longer prepared to support him, they smell the chance of getting a "proper" Throbber in to lead the party now and that's why the likes of Steve Baker suddenly flipped from supporting Johnson to telling him his time was up Brexit always was about saving the Tories just as it was the side Johnson chose with no conviction other than to serve himself. The Conservative Party has survived, Johnson will soon be a footnote in it's history
  16. Unless China now wants Russia to complete f*** itself up and invade the parts in the East like Yakutsk that it might like to develop Also, India hasn't done anything publicly so until that happens they are still on Russia's side afaic EDIT: In fact I'd say far more Chinese businesses have actually quit Russia than anything India has done, an awful lot of Chinese banks aren't accepting Russian payments for example, Tik Tok being taken down etc
  17. This is your mistake. My tactic in my opening equation is to have the two most common operators (* and +) and the equals sign in the last but two position as that is the most common plus obviously 5 different digits. The two operators bit is crucial

    Soft drinks

    Don't know if it lasted into the '90s but definitely in the '80s
  19. This was always the least likely scenario Any people's revolution would require the help of the military and the police

    They used to sell Root Beer in Waitrose, not sure if they still do though
  21. I played that, I liked it and this is what I played next Modern Krautrock from Nippon
