    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Sounds like the Boris/Lebedev story is about to take on new meaning. I did wonder if a load of new stories might come out about him now his political aspirations are dead and usefulness of the idiot is diminished.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It’s getting a bit like the finale of hunger games.

    Cedric Roussel RIP

    Shit. That’s awful news. I remember his debut. IIRC his signing was announced pretty much the morning before his debut. What a debut he made too. RIP.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    The only thing Putin can do now is let the tanks roll into Moscow. And anyone who doesn’t agree is a war monger with a blood lust.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    The alleged second city is Voronezh which is about half way to Moscow from Rostov on Don where it all started. What’s not clear is if this is Wagner forces or a local rebellion by Russian forces triggered by the events. Apparently the M4 is closed as a military convoy is moving south.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Chechen leader has said that they stand by Putin and are ready to send forces in to put down the rebellion. What else can he say/do though. The only reason he’s in power is because of backing from Putin, if Putin falls life gets very difficult for him.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Reports out now that they’re meeting no opposition and have now taken a second city. BBC showing footage of the Wagner boss sat down arguing with Russian generals in the base they took. If Putin does still have his generals there’s little evidence he has the troops, no footage of fighting and no...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Just read the details of Putins address to the nation where he talks about a rebellion, stabs in the back etc. Imagine what the population must/should be thinking. In February last year they were being told that this wasn’t a war it was a special mission and Ukrainian people were going to be...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    From Ukraines viewpoint I think they’ve got to carry on as normal, at least for now. I don’t think that you can rule out the reports about Wagner group being some sort of ruse to lull Ukraine into a situation. Keep fighting your own war until the situation becomes 100% clear.

    Something is happening. It’s hard to work out exactly because you really can’t believe anyone but… https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/06/23/prigozhin-says-moscow-strikes-kill-huge-number-of-wagner-forces-vows-to-stop-top-brass-a81615

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Clearly the bloke who did the flashing around my chimney about 10 years ago must have been French or German. I didn’t detect an accent but having heard the evidence it’s the only possible explanation.

    You Know You're Getting Old When........

    I’m not quite that old ;) Still had to do a CBT but once you passed you’d passed, no A1 or 2. I went straight from a DT125 to a GPZ900R. Not sure how I never killed my self to be honest.

    How optimistic are you feeling about next season?

    It’s a bit early to say really. I think we need to be mindful that we overachieved to some degree last season. The league doesn’t lie but points required to make the playoffs was quite low last season so in another season we would have been one of a handful of teams that would have just fell...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Giving Putin an out. At least in Russia anyway. The longer it goes on the harder it is to hide the death toll and fool the public. Not sure they’ll ever be a way back for him in Europe and the US. But then again they let Gadaffi back in so you never know.
