It's a strange world we live in now with the Tories the party of high taxation. Couple that with them normally boasting that they are also the party of law and order and of course family values and it becomes even stranger. They are now, demonstrably, the party of crime, corruption, sleaze; the list...

This is what UKDJ are reporting Russia’s Admiral Makarov has been hit by Ukrainian missiles and is currently on fire, according to Ukrainian officials. The frigate would be Russia’s latest naval loss coming after the Russian cruiser Moskva was sunk by Ukraine weeks ago. Local media outlets also repo...

There'll be a long queue.

In bed in Washington DC when the news filtered through.

I have also just noticed this on UKDJ - Britain will be sending an unspecified number of Mastiff heavily armoured vehicles to Ukraine, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has confirmed. It is understood that the vehicles will be stripped of sensitive equipment with British troops sent to a country neighbo...

Someone asked what do Ukraine have by way of ground to air missiles. They did have the Russian built S300 and I noticed that Slovakia are sending over more of those systems to them and in return are getting Patriot from the Yanks. Shooting down unguided rockets however is very difficult (if indeed t...

If Putin does use nukes then it all depends what type; strategic or more likely tactical ones. Then it depends on the size and yield. If he fires off one nuclear tipped artillery shell and drops it on Kyiv then how does NATO react.

Corky

I've just watched it on Netflix, and if you want a sense of how determined the Ukranian people are about keeping their independence and being a part of Europe, then watch the documentary Winter On Fire. I found it absolutely amazing.

That black and yellow paint is absolutely disgusting. Where has that come from?

The great thing about our system of constitutional monarchy, is that it has saved us from ever hearing the phrase, " Britain's first lady, Cherie Blair " !!

So true, let's just stick with the woman whose son is an alleged paedophile!!!!!

Corky

As a avid anti royal I’ll be avoiding the hype but good luck to all who like them. I must admit to being genuinely baffled as to why people still accept them in the modern day when we don’t accept that things are ‘God given’. But I also accept that many derive some sense of pride and joy from them....

If every player at every club in the premier league tried the maximum possible in every game played, at the end of the season 3 clubs would still be relegated. Being in the bottom 3 after 17 games is not proof that players are not trying. You're right of course. What we have seen on the pitch for t...

How big are these bombs are they not detectable at the turnstile searches?

Apparently you hide them up your bottom. Sometimes with interesting and embarrassing results.

Corky

It is only natural that some people are sceptical. And it is only natural that some will have more concerns than others. But given the number of vaccinations undertaken without adverse reactions then I think it is obvious, even to a blind man on a galloping horse, that the vaccine is incredibly safe...

I thought the Beatles were a Motown tribute band

For those overly concerned for child welfare and to add a bit of clarity, some years ago a friend of mine said that he could tell his son was going to be gay when he was about 10/11 years old. It is nothing to be embarrassed about or get over excited about. I appreciate that some on here think they ...

I also thought they could be shorts. But that is not the point. We live in a gender fluid age, get with it guys. It's not the end of the world.

Isn't that what happens at every away game though?

But now with the added bonus of a rail to lean on. So definitely letting the train take the strain

Corky

Yes, also in the Shed Upper with my son. Both of us thought the rail seats were excellent. Stood watching the game and halftime sat down for a rest. Perfect.

Corky

That is an absolute pack of lies. I can confirm that I was at the game but only in an advisory capacity.

Look at the map again corky. Look at the size of Russia and China in comparison to the UK. And your point is what exactly. I am well aware of the respective size of countries compared to the UK. I was pointing out that both China and India (not Russia) have planted a phenomenal number of trees so t...

This thread exemplifies the problem. We have some who think doing something about climate change is important whilst others do not see it as much of an issue. And there are some who seem to want to treat it as a joke and appear almost to be denying that it is happening despite the compelling scienti...

Are you being serious and saying that posting a song by Edwin Collins on a music thread about Edwin Starr warrants people get upset and having a pop at me for trying to be funny, clever, ironic, attention seeking? Are you really that sensitive that someone posting a music video by someone other tha...

Corky

Its a music thread which brought to mind an old song I hadn't thought about for ages so I posted a video of the song. It was Trumpet who then out of the blue started having a pop at me when there was no need so I give him a little back cos as I proved he was talking nonsense. But it is specifically...

Odious man but an excellent manager. Congratulations to him on his record.

An odious man eh. Well you seem to be an expert on that front. Amen.

Apparently Brighton fans have asked to borrow the banner for their match with Newcastle in a couple of weeks time. This could get interesting.

Corky

I think it is fair to say that when England play a team, the Scots fervently support our opponents almost to a man. Whereas the English probably view a Scots game with nothing more than mild interest and usually amusement. In the 70s having been in a house share in London with 5 scotsmen (all grand...

If you feel as though the bottom has dropped out of your world; drink Watneys Red and the world will drop out of your bottom.

How about reprising this:

I don't normally comment on reports but that summed it up rather well.

This post reminded me of my early days as a Transport Manager for Royal Mail. I and a couple of colleagues were on Carlisle Station awaiting the arrival of a Travelling Post Office (TPO) train. We were in the bar by the up platform which was very quiet given the time of night. In fact it was just th...

When we last changed cars I wanted to get POO2 YOU as a new number plate but my wife put her foot down.

I couldn't make up my mind but I thought the external shots of Vigil were actually one of the Astute class. Also found it quite funny that when they were having the funeral service in the torpedo room they had changed the name of the torpedoes from Spearfish to Spear....something else. Weird.

Corky

In the 70s I worked for a couple of years for the Judge Advocate General. And I can assure you that we do not live in a military state and as such the Military Police have very limited authority with regard to what they can get involved with. Certainly anything as serious as murder would be beyond t...

With regard to the upper and lower tiers could some kind soul on here actually list the turnstile numbers that are appropriate to each tier. This would certainly help those like me that make just a handful of visits each season. Thanks.

Also look on line for ex showroom/display bathrooms. Some good bargains to be had.

May be wrong, but sure I read somewhere (in their early days of tenure) that the new owners were against having a betting company as main shirt sponsor

They have sacrificed their religious principles at the altar of pragmatism.

Someone above said it is juvenile and inappropriate. That, sort of sums it up doesn't it?

A manbag is step one toward becoming a craft beer ****** with a manbun, a sleeve tattoo, skinny jeans, a silly beard and a child named TontoAlopecia. Don't do it.

Until I moved to London I always supported all the home countries hoping they did well, unless of course they were playing England. But even then I would not want them humiliated. That all changed in 1973. I'd moved into a house share with 5 Scotsmen. All a great bunch of guys who I got on really we...

A friend and I were having a similar conversation and he just happened to say that if we stopped eating pork, bacon, gammon and other pig based meats that in short order pigs would become extinct.

In France don't they have a presumed guilty law?

Agree 100% in a perfect world, but it's not simple planning & having these contingencies in place when you are ill equipped & severely undermanned because of circumstances beyond reasonable control, sure the police made mistakes & plenty of them & shouldn't have told pork pies after, I think a comb...

We seem to be missing the point here. It doesn't matter if fans travelled to the match without tickets. It doesn't matter if some had too much to drink. It doesn't matter if fans stayed in the pub too long then rushed to the ground late. What does matter is that the Police should plan for these even...
