    USSR invades Ukraine.

    In Russia it's pretty much the same thing!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The trouble with that is you can't 'grow' an economy when international trade is shrinking, you just suck in imports which leads to a trade deficit, run on the Pound, etc. That has been the downfall of many a previous UK Prime Minister.

    Has London Bridge fallen ?

    Charlie Boy won't last a year. He's on a collision course with Liz Truss (which he'll lose like his great uncle did) then William will take over.

    Spiders

    Spon End is infested with the bloody things. What annoys me is there's no easy way of disposing of them without leaving a stain on the wall. It means hooking up the vacuum cleaner which is incredibly tedious. I hate vacuum cleaners almost as much as I hate spiders.

    What are you currently listening to?

    If it was up to me this would be played at every PSV home game. The reason is almost every supporter was either employed by the company which built the city (and the football club) or knows someone who was. There's already an unofficial club song with very similar lyrics.

    Recommend a beer

    Best beer I've ever tasted was called Jever Pilsner. It was sold for a time as Sainsbury's "German Lager" but actually comes from a Frisian Island which is halfway between Holland and Germany. Being a true Pilsner it tastes like a blend of apples and pears but also has a very strong hop flavour...

    I am too but that's because of my unusual tax position. I would seldom recommend it to someone else. 'Mumsy' is into modern art and vintage cars but she's an experienced art-historian so the risk/reward ratio is extremely low for her. I've noticed a certain website is trying to lure ordinary...

    Thread for the Oldies

    The one time he didn't was in the movie of the same name! There's a streetband version by The Happy Wonderers at the start of of the movie and another by the cast ensemble at the end but although a recording of Joe is heard in the background he is never actually seen performing the title number...

    Sounds very sensible to me even though it's frustrating. Not as bad as many. Never, ever go all-in on any one thing even if you think it's bulletproof, they're forever inventing more deadly bullets.
