    gamble – glad you enjoyed it! Made me laugh as well, such a short video but conveys so much.

    And Clive I definitely hope that is true, the Ukranians were saying they were expecting the russian paratroopers to land in Kiev tonight

    It’s such grim news
    BB news is not reporting it.
    Putin’s botox wreaked havoc
    and now he’s disfiguring
    a whole population.
    The jews caught up in the
    Holocaust couldn’t beleive
    it either. It’s all about one
    man’s bent vision !

    People dying in warfare will never be ‘fabulous news’. Both sides will inevitably have casualties. Even if one takes the view that Russian soldiers dying is a good thing, that’s not going to happen without Ukrainians dying too. That’s not a cause for celebration for me.

    The perpetrators of all of this, for whom you could make a good case that they should die, are tucked safely away from bombs and bullets while ordinary young blokes get maimed and killed.

    The whole thing is f’ing sickening.

    It’s from a good source ben and there’s rumours that two have gone down

    The key here is that it’s indicative of an assault from Russia that is a shambles

    Morale and planning all over the place

    You do not lose transporters landing troops. I’m no military buff but did the us ever do so in Iraq?

    Funny reading people asking why the para shooters didn’t use the para shoots. It’s a bloody jet and they would have been sucked in and spewed out as mince

    You have to respect the the volunteers that have put their necks on the line to
    defend their country. 18,000 guns have been handed out and they are being taught
    how to make petrol bombs. God help them, they are coming up against hardened
    trained military soldiers. I’d like to think I would do the same if I were in their
    position, although not sure how far I could throw a petrol bomb these days.

    Back in the gory day, the midwife said to my mother
    ” He’s the biggest ugliest bundle of thing I’ve ever seen but he’s got bucket loads of bravado – and enough buckets to win a world war ! ”

    Mother said…

    “Where’s Paw ? – We’ve created a MONSTER

    In a strange way
    Wars are inevitable
    The bunnies keep producing
    and there’s a limited
    number of carrots to go round
    So THUGS BUNNY !

    gamble you raise a fair point, perhaps in this instance I should actually be cheering for a draw then, a 0-0 for the ages.

    I think this statement Ben
    shows you are able to change opinion midstream, and this suggests, if you had chosen the profession,you could have been a very convincing judge.
    This was said to me 50
    years ago by the youngest
    court circuit judge in Britain.
    What he failed to see was my lack of self confidence.
    But I think it commendable
    you have this flexibility
    to be a judge. You may never be a judge Ben and I certainly wasn’t – but it’s nice to know we both passed the bar exams and we are halfway there to a
    wig fitting!

    Look life’s a game
    It really is
    Try to win
    but if you don’t
    and that would be
    the majority
    glory in your loss
    and remember this
    LIFE IS SHORT
    So HAVE FUN !

    Couldn’t agree more mate, have to chase what makes you happy otherwise there’s literally no point.
