Having to "register" for an account on every f***ing website I visit, especially those sites where I have previously not had to do so for the last 10 years.

Other people at that "event" were fined by the Met, Boris was not. -

Lukashenko reckons that the West, particularly Poland, are intending to "dismember" Ukraine and that eventually the Government in Kyiv will be forced to turn to Russia and Belorus for help in resisting this.

Better warn Rebekha Vardy.

A mediocre squad can produce good performances with a competent manager. Our lot have zero fight, zero confidence, and zero belief - all down to Wreck It.

Or for Burnley.

It is actually a disease of rodents.

A millionaire, a worker, and an immigrant are sitting at a table with 1000 biscuits. The millionaire takes 999 biscuits and then says to the worker "Watch out, that immigrant is after your biscuit".

One good thing about the Hundred is that the tickets for Lancashire's 50 over match against Northants in the Royal London Cup at Blackpool during that tournament are £10. Hope the sun comes out.

It is a disease that needs prolonged close contact and has a low risk of transmission. What the story does support is cross species transmission, as was originally stated for CoViD before the tin foil hat brigade got involved.

The story seems to be that Boris suggested to Sue Grey that a meeting might be a good idea, she didn't really want to meet but deferred to the PM and sent a few suggested dates/times when she was available. Downing Street are claiming that as she sent the actual invite it was 'her' meeting. -
Germany has sent hundreds of anti-tank weapons, armoured personnel carriers, and plenty of personal body armour. The issue at the start was that constitutionally their hands were tied; the Budestag had to legislate to change the constitution, as Japan has also had to do, before weapons could be sent. They also had a similar ban on German weapons being sent from allied countries, which delayed the Dutch and Czechs sending German manufactured AFVs. The Ukraine invasion has thrown a curve ball at NATO, it has had to morph from a purely defensive organisation into one that is capable of effectively fighting a proxy war outside it's territory.

War rarely does. Zelensky is right - Ukraine cannot "win" as it cannot overrun and conquer Russia. Even returning to the pre-invasion situation means the problems with Donbas and Crimea are unresolved. Russia cannot "win" as it cannot eliminate Ukraine as long as the West props it up, the cost in terms of "Blood and Treasure" of perpetuating the conflict is crippling, and even if Ukraine was somehow suppressed, we would effectively have a European Afghanistan.

How about scrap The Hundred and play each other twice.

Allegedly their 3rd kit for next season is a direct copy of the Saudi national kit, white with green trim.
