I went up 4 of the peaks around the lake, excellent rambling but bloody warm. The path up the side of the waterfall to the high Alpine pastures was well worth it as well..

You travel through Postojna on a miniature train, and at the heart of the complex is a concert hall.

Do it. We have been several times to Bohinj, which is the head of the river flowing through Bled, near to the Austrian border. If you can, get a trip to the Karst caves at Postinja. ( As we are 'horsey' people we also visited the Lipica stud, where the Lipizzaner horses for the Spanish Riding School in Vienna were originally bred. )

What is it with studio pundits and presenters on sports programs standing up all the time ?

The first thin I think of when I see "Peta" is Mark Cavendish's missus.

Wow, a grand total of 16 votes cast.

This is a great thread for increasing your post count.

Most of the BS you post is just that. Still, it's nice that it seems GM has found a new friend.

Just think of all the pent up anger and frustration he must have in his life that we see vented on here.

I had no doubt that she did, but it shows the problem with asking questions of unbreifed interviewees with no direct connection to an issue. One misplaced "was" completely reverses the point being made. As has been said many times, The Thick Of It was more documentary than comedy.

Find this morning's Today program on BBC Sounds and listen to it. This is what I did as I could not believe what I heard, and as I type this reply I am listening to it again, and that is almost verbatim what she said - other than I have typed "than we saw..." and she actually said "than we had...", and I also transliterated "something like..." to "it is about...", ( 2 hours, 17 minutes, and 15 seconds into the 3 hour program ).

I have just played this back to confirm what I thought I heard; On R4 the Science Minister was on to talk about the UK rejoining the Horizon program, ( yay, we are now associate members of something we used to be full members of ). However, before getting on to this subject she was asked about the escape from Wandsworth prison and part of her answer was.... "In terms of the number of escapees it is not incomparable to the number we had under the Labour Government, it is about 4 or 5 times the amount under their tenure".

I was the same until, when I was stationary at a set of traffic lights, a bus turned across me and ripped the front of my car off. He denied liability, claiming I had driven into him, and it took ages to sort it out. A video camera would have settled it in a day.

But you get the assist.

Who gets the medal when the record is set, you or tdmickey ?

I am a fickle supporter, more a fan of the game than a specific team. Back in the Mike Ditka days I quite liked the Bears - Walter Payton the supreme running back, and William 'The Refridgerator' Perry the antithesis of an athlete. Similarly I used to like watching Laurence Taylor playing for the Giants, I even had a Giants jersey with his name and number on. These days I enjoy the maverick QBs like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Have you seen the documentary series "Quarterback" on NETFLIX ?

Crew survivability is an important concept in Western tank design. Oryx reports 3 each of Leopard 2A4 and 2A5 destroyed, with 3 2A5 damaged and abandoned - might wel be recoverable if the UA advance past them later in the campaign. Russia on the other hand reports almost all of the Leo's destroyed, and probably claims a few Abrams, in advance of their actually being deployed.

Video of a Challenger 2 destroyed by heavy artillery during the Ukrainian advance - the first ever total loss of a Chally2 to enemy fire.

Russia is already using North Korean artillery shells. Also, there is evidence that Russia is having to use older, less effective, artillery systems taken from storage due to losses on the front line. Presumably the NK stuff is, in theory, more up to date than this, ( but as to the quality....... ) ( Ukraine has been using Iranian shells that have been seized during attempts to smuggle them to the Yemen civil war. The US intercepted them and passed them on as they are the correct calibre for Ukraine's Russian guns ).

Rishi claims it was nothing to do with him when he was Chancellor as he expanded the capital program in his first statement to the Commons............ It is a semantic point, as what he actually said was he would raise spending such that per pupil it would get back to pre-2010, ( pre Tory ), levels in real terms.

As Kraken has alluded I may be confusing 2 posters with similar names. Are you talking about Chapel End Charlie, or somebody else ? If the former he posted on the Bazunu thread at lunchtime.

So who was masquerading as CEC on the main board earlier today ?
