  1. Serbia openly bought this Ground to Air defence system from the Chinese ages ago. The Chinese had to fly over Turkey and Bulgaria (Both NATO) to deliver this, they even had to refuel in Turkey It's the Daily Express being typically alarmist in the face of any logic. Nothing about this delivery is a secret
  2. People will also see how hungry they will be getting and that they can't afford holidays etc That will eventually change their minds. It's OK getting people to believe they will be better off when most are relatively speaking able to live andf afford luxuries but what is coming will make people think again
  3. Interesting analysis on the failure of the Russian Battalion Tactical Group approach to fighting and why it is and will continue to fail Thread of 13 Tweets
  4. I imagine they do it most weeks if not most days when roadworks are on
  5. I saw that before but not on the Scum website obviously, would look good with the Benny hill Theme dubed over the top
  6. Thats roadworks which is entirely different to SMART motorways, Roadworks usually involve Free recovery and reduced speed limits and they are temporary.
  7. That massive long convoy was attacked at the head, constantly but that was essentially a supply convoy. What's pictured up in that video is just a small group of tanks on some sort of mission. Obviously it's now a small group of ex-tanks having failed their mission But that is mightily accurate artillery, the Russians really don't seem to learn. They'll have so few rersources available soon they won't be able to hold a May Day parade in Moscow. There were some images of a supply convoy yesterday that was quite big but it was absolutely fuill of museum pieces, they really do appear to be scraping the barrel for front line armour and supply vehicles now

    Well one of the garages by me went up to £1:71.9 today but that still makes it 0.8p cheaper than ASDA which used to be the absolute cheaspest (apart from Costco but you need to be a member there)

    Energy Bills

    Nah, you are talking about different things. You are talking about pay at the pump like a lot of Supermarkets let you do (or force you to in the case of ASDA), what Chindie is talking about are normal garages that won't let you put fuel in, until you walk in and pay for the fuel before they turn the pump on. You are right though about the pay at pump one, Tesco reserves about £100 from your account and it can take hours for the balance to be returned, so I always just walk in and pay at the supermarkets (and hence why I don't use ASDA)

    Well yes but that isn't what is happening here. OPEC control the price of crude oil but the price of crude compared to the price at the pump seem to have got rather out of sync. The fuel processors (Shell, BP etc) are probably making a much bigger cut themselves now than they used to. Then add into that the inflationary tactics of the independent retaillers (Forget the branding, this is people like EG who own ASDA etc) and the prices of fuel are not reflecting the OPEC prices like they used to. The processors and the forecourts are making much higher percentages
  11. I think the real point is that it’s already chip paper The story has come and gone. The household bills are still there today, tomorrow and for a good time into the future.
  12. Saw that one earlier, there's kids down the beach with drones that are more capable than that

    Energy Bills

    Deisel price weirdness! As I've been saying, the prices by mine recently have been consistenly higher than the local average and they always were a couple of pence a litre more than garages in and around Liverpool itself This weekend, all three chain garages, the two EG ones and the BP are £1:70.9, the Tesco which doesn't appear to be capable of changing it's prices over the weekend has been caught out because on Thursday they put their prices up by 1p to £1:71.9 so we have the really strange situation of the supermarket being the most expensive. Not only that but I've been out and about today and our prices seem to be the cheapest on Merseyside (this side of the river at least), I didn't see one garage that was less than £1:75.9 and I have been into the city centre and even touched on St Helens and South Liverpool Even the other garage a bit further away which always has stupidly high prices has come down to £1:75.9 (it was £1:85.9 earlier in the week) so is still as cheap as the rest of the Merseyside region Bloody strange times
  14. I have my eye on that one. When AMS was learning his trade, Bovell was there at the start and often at his side and also went on to feature in a few on the early On-U releases as a musician. No Bovell, no On-U I guess. Bovell is such an accomplished producer and artist though, I think I’m right in saying he’s credited with actually inventing Lovers Rock

    Maybe it was donated to the causeway you all so obviously need to link you to the mainland
  16. The quite lovely Aldous Harding's new album - Warm Chris
  17. It's like saying Carlisle is the Capital City of Cumbria
  18. That noo Nannah Peel album, in colaboration with the Paraorkestra
  19. I think i posted something similar weeks ago right at the start of the war about the use of Nazi
  20. Look like a pair of broken workies boots but I guess thats even more strange than trainers
