Think Maatsen would have suitors much higher up the food chain.

Has Boris carried it out? He seems to want to completely renege on the 'oven ready' deal he and his team negotiated. He's appointed JRM as Minister for Brexit Opportunities, who has recently asked the public for ideas. Surely we should have known what those opportunities were before the vote...

There might be something in there about treatment if they surrender. There would be more political capital in capturing and looking after them as well as possible to relay the message back in Russia about the reality. It's time consuming and expensive, but ultimately the right thing to do. If...

I imagine Ukraine see their decision to give up nukes and not joining NATO as the reason they are now being invaded. Old Eastern bloc members that are in NATO haven't got a Russian invasion to deal with.

No. I've no idea what they'll do there. They have been playing Rose ahead of him recently so maybe it's a consideration to look for someone younger, but he's played well for much of this season so could be asked to stay. It is that risk that he might just start to find it a struggle all of a...

That was my one problem with the plan - the risk to the pilots involved.

But bombing in front of and behind the convoy isn't bombing them. Of course Putin and his cronies would cite it as such but considering the attacks on actual Ukrainian cities, including civilian areas, it would show the aggression is all from Russia. Ukraine would have an invading army inside...

I think he just can't officially sign anything. But he can make a gentleman's agreement. I'd love him to choose us, but I'm prepared for the fact he may well choose another option, which would mean quite a CB recruitment drive over the summer.

Moore Hyam Rose JCS Kane Sheaf Hamer Bidwell O'Hare Maatsen Gyok Wilson, Fadz, Allen, Shipley, Waghorn, Tavares +1 (Jones if fit) Looking a bit threadbare on the bench. Swansea have been up and down of late, so wasn't sure whether to have Allen at ACM and Maatsen as an option to replace him...

I think Beyonce needs to re-record her song.

Why would that be agreed to? Our negotiation would be 'fuck off out of Ukraine or the sanctions are staying and getting worse."

Surely the fact these massive convoys exist and haven't been bombed the shit out of totally disproves Putin's argument of Ukrainian/NATO aggression. They're on foreign soil and so legitimate targets for the Ukrainians. Also, to prevent escalation but further hinder progress why not bomb the...

We did, but much of that was actually down to Germany. Molotov met with Hitler and concluded he could not be trusted, and so Russia did not support Germany. Hitler then effectively threw a tantrum and decided to invade Russia, thus overstretching his forces and leaving him fighting two fronts...

Once again, the parallels with Hitler are uncanny.

Which was my point re: interest. If you're here for the high-risk, high return then allow everything you can to achieve that return, including foregoing high interest. It's not like that interest is being paid regularly (some has been returned in recent years but then swallowed up in new loans...

Aren't you in favour of low pay rises because they drive inflation? I seem to remember you were heavily against a pay rise of less than 2% for a particular group recently, using that as your justification. Or is that just for the hoi polloi on low wages?

But how many of those loans providers could get a £100m+ windfall if the performance of the organisation that they're lending to improves? Or get a return if that organisation is sold?

Can you not just use the maltesers like ball bearings and slide on them?

As Ian said, things like quality of life, family, friends, free time, enjoying your work, freedom to do what you want to do. Some of those money will help bring them about, but not solely by themselves. In some cases it can tip over into reducing them. in terms of biological/natural world...

54 maltesers in each cat. 54 cats in the bin.
