Several sources provide information on verified Russian loses. They are broadly in agreement because they are working from the same videos, death notifications etc. Verified deaths has just passed 10,000 for the entire war. Obviously the actual figure is far higher. But 800 of those verified deaths have occurred in the past 10 days! Just think about that. 12% of the total in just 2 weeks. Everyone is waiting for a massive Russian attack. It might have started 2 weeks ago. I definitely think the current loses are Wagner being sacrificed to stop them trying to grabbing power when Putin dies.

Something has gone bang at Melitopol Airport. Not sure exactly what atbtge moment. Apparently the Partisan activity around that area is ramping up significantly.

There is a lot of misleading information about tank loses. So take everything I write below with a pinch of salt. But even Russian sources are now reporting massive loses. One credible Russian source estimates they have lost 50% of the tanks that were in service before the war. They have been replaced by stored tanks that are much older , much less effective and sitting ducks for modern weapon. Debate rages on the forthcoming offensive. Should they use their best tanks to punch through Ukrainian lines? Or keep them to counter the NATO tanks that will be delivered? On the other side Ukraine is now believed to have more tanks than before the war. Loses have been replaced by captured Russian Tanks most of which were the more modern ones. Tank loses seem to have more psychological impact than troop loses. Russians still have that WW2 mindset of massive loses but ultimate victory with tanks rolling over the enemy.

Hopefully this. Putin dies soon. There is a massive internal power struggle that doesn't lead to civil war but does seriously undermine operations in Ukraine. Whoever comes to power in Russia blames Putin for everything. New Russia withdraws to old borders and negotiates a settlement whereby Crimea reverts to Ukraine but is Policed by a neutral country for a set period. NATO agree a demilitarised zone on both sides of NATO/Russian borders. We invade France. Just in case.

Amazing news folks. The Nazi regime in Ukraine have invaded the UK and annexed us. They now rule the UK. I have rock solid proof from Polish TV News. There is no other possible explanation.

Thanks. Do you have any tips for getting the glue into the very small gaps?

Has anyone checked if there is a grassy knoll nearby?

My double glazing has plastic trims on the inside. They are still firmly attached to the windows but have come away from the walls slightly. 1. Any idea what glue to use for PVC to plaster? 2. Any idea how to get that glue into a 1mm gap? I really don't want to rip the trims off and fix them from new.

Bin dunne.

Russia supplied a missile that shot down a civilian airliner over Ukraine. Isn't that an act of war?

I went to see the Bottom Live shows. There was an amazing anarchic atmosphere, some vicious heckles and equally vicious responses by Rik Mayall. It was so good that I booked to see the show again at another venue. It was the same hecklers, shouting the same heckles at exactly the same time in the show. Illusions shattered.

My minor claim to fame - I made Bob Mortimer laugh and got a round of applause at a Shooting Stars Show. Shooting Stars did live shows. I went to one in Wolverhampton. The panel included Wolves Manager Mark Magee. Wolves were doing badly and he wasn't well liked. Bob was doing the "True or False" round and simply said "Mark Magee, Football Manager". I yelled out "False".

https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-zelenskyy-nato-russia-nuclear-162428316989 “Zelensky did not ask NATO to use nuclear weapons”.

As I said at the time, it was fake and I had seen it a few months ago. The subtitles suggested he was asking for a pre-emptive nuclear strike. He wasn’t. He did suggest pre-emptive use of sanctions and pre-emotive destruction of Russia weapons before they became active. That seems very reasonable to me. It’s the standard that Russia has already set as acceptable.

I love Monty Python, but it has a problem, 80% was utter rubbish. The remaining was pure genius that is unmatched. It’s an easy to watch 20 minutes of Python and conclude it’s not worth watching.

"Western NATO-standard fighter jets." What does that actually mean? NATO has a range of fighters including MIGs held by the ex-Warsaw Pact countries. Are Poland's MIG29 considered "NATO-Standard" if they are armed with NATO weapons? I guess this announcement is more about training Ukrainians in the relative safety of UK Airspace than specifically handing over RAF Eurofighters.

Or she suffered a sudden serious illness and stumbled into the river whilst disorientated.

It's fairly obvious what's happened. Bulley is actually an MI5 agent and needs to dissappear. She is being hunted by the Flat Earth Society because she has found definitive proof that the Earth is a globe. She regularly went to the same place to walk her dog. She left her phone on the bench so that it could be easily traced. She then hid in bushes near the river. Police Officers arrived at the area with the cover story of searching for her. She then slipped out from the bushes wearing a Police uniform and simply left the scene with other officers. I even have proof - No-one has denied that she is an MI5 Agent. No-one has released CCTV images showing the Police leaving the scene. There are several examples throughout history of people wearing different clothes to disguise themselves. One of the officers leaving the scene had a ridiculously large moustache.

Collared.

Dogs are terrible murderers. All the Police need to do is point af the body and repeatedly ask "Who did this? Did you do this?" They normally confess.
