    There’s big ridges behind Bakhmut which now has 3 lines of pre dug defensive positions on them. UA held until these were done.

    It’s going to be Vuhledar on a bigger scale.

    Also,  what you leave behind is important.
    The Russians are rats and will steal anything,  they have already all got into an APC that was left by Ukraine.  It blew them all up as it was booby trapped and probably had a camera on it or a drone.

    If you left a trail of biscuits they would follow it into a mine field,  utter clowns.  

    Solar powered cameras left around the town would be incredibly useful I suppose.  I don't know if that is a thing to do if moving back ?

    It’s seems pretty clear that Ukraine is withdrawing from Bakhmut in an orderly fashion.  

    They were unfortunatley always going to lose it at some stage,  the cost for Russia is the important thing,  it's been a big push for a little town.

    Who knows what Ukraine has up it's sleeve but I suspect they have bailed because there are bigger prizes around the corner.

    It could be Crimea I suppose.  Destroy the bridge properly and then we will see,  I don't know but I hope.

    Adverts on radio telling me to leave a two car gap between myself and the car in front on the motorway. 

    I assume whoever puts these ads out has never driven on a UK motorway, because as soon as I leave a two car gap some word removed jumps into it. 

    Every time. 

    its 2 Seconds,  not cars 👍 (Something like,  only a fool breaks the 2 second rule)

    2 cars length at 10 MPH,  Great.

    2 cars length at 90 Mph ,  not great.

    It's funny how often people spell Forest with 2 F's. It wouldn't be in predictive text so you'd have to actively spell it that way and I think it's a throw back to Craig Forrest the goalkeeper. 

    Can't think of any other reason. Not a dig at you, I see it often. Just musing as to why people do it. Not that it matters. :)

    It's mental,  I can type really fast and I can even type fast in Dutch with almost Zero mistakes.  However,  there are certain mis-spellings that stay with you for life I think if you type,  its weird.  I know it's 1 F but ,  I dont know 🙂
    EG.  This is the word for Responsible in Dutch: verantwoordelijkheid.

    I reckon it'll be about 34/35ish this season, so they'll need around 14 from their remaining 13 games, which isn't impossible.

    They need to beat Forrest or Brentford next I think.

  6. The SNP leadership contest is interesting.

    A few claims that I sound really good on the TV.

    Ash Regan says Scotland would only need to rely on pound sterling 'for a couple of months', 

    Scotland would have its own currency in a few months,  how would this be achieved ?

    How much to start a currency and how to actually start its own,  sounds super easy,  couple of months.  I am not  so sure but maybe its super easy ?

    I think there was only about 2 or 3 big clean punches in the entire 8 rounds. I feel for anyone mugged out of £19.95.

     

    It was when they got close the lack of quality was apparent,  neither can fight on the inside.  I suppose that's why they had the weird points deductions for general rubbishness and holding.

    For free It was entertaining enough for the 8 rounds I suppose.

    A proper boxer would knock both of them into orbit in 2 rounds though.

    "fight script" 

    Even in a boxing film where the fight and "Script" has been written for ages still goes wrong.

    In Rocky 1,  I think in approx. Round 7 or 8,  at the end of the round Carl Weathers and Sylvester Stallone get properly unhappy with each other,  they weren't acting at this point as they both landed big just before the bell,  totally outside the script.

    They kept it in the film but it's impossible to do. 

    Someone can move forward into a shot accidently,  if they get knocked out the script, even if they are supposed to win means absolutely nothing.
