Who knows what the real truth is behind Russia's invasion.whatever it is is no excuse for what is currently going on. If it is about NATO pressure, oil and gas exports then it's back fired somewhat, as far as I can see.
-
Cluster bombs, thermobaric weapons and now the possibility of chemical weapons. It seems like Putin is desperate for NATO to get involved. Hopefully it won't come to that but it doesn't look good for Ukraine no matter what.

Shirley there has always been a big gap between the rich and the poor and no doubt there always will be. At least in the UK the poor still have access to social care and healthcare and with a bit of determination they can pull themselves up the ladder. Good luck on the move to Sweden, I don't know what a frog dance is though 🐸. if it involves lots of beer then it can't be a bad thing.

Fair enough although I have never visited those places.
-
I dunno what you are talking about. So the UK isn't the worst place you have been but we shouldn't walk the streets at night? Or are you talking about a specific place in the UK as I must have missed that bit. The UK is a fantastic country and I feel privileged to have been born here. There's nothing stopping people who hate the place from emigrating now is there. Will leave some well needed room.

Just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean it's shit. There are far, far worse places that you wouldn't want to be no matter what time of the day in a hell of a lot of other countries. Are there any countries that don't have their fair share of shitholes?
-
Quite agree. We really have little to complain about, even less when you compare it to many other countries. I'm not saying that things can't always be improved upon but I can't think of many other countries that I would prefer to live in.

With a three mile long convoy of tanks and no doubt air support on the way and since the West has used up all of its sanction cards I can hazard at a guess what the negotiations are going to be. Surrender now or be obliterated. Russia-Ukraine latest: Three-mile column of Russian troops and tanks 'moving towards Kyiv' WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK A three-mile column of Russian troops and tanks have been... Grim times.
-
That's what I'm thinking. Unfortunately it could get far worse for the Ukraine's. Hopefully there will be some agreement as they have planned talks, I just can't see it though.
-
Tbh I thought that the Russian army would have easily taken the Ukraine by now. Surely what we are seeing is only a fraction of the Russians capabilities. I can't see Putin giving up so does that mean we are going to see a big step up in Russian offensive? I don't mean nuclear as I very much doubt that that is going to ever happen.
-
That and so should your neighbour. Hopefully it landed on enough things (fences, sheds etc) that the cost of removal will be covered.
-
All I can say is I hope they are getting better care in nicer surroundings than someone who hasn't worked a day in their lives.
-
Imagine it being ok to steal the petrol out of the machines not in use in the workshop! Maybe drain the diesel out of your storage tank to boot. Madness.
-
Unless you need something that is low profile or quick pumping just buy the most reasonably priced one, they all do the job. Just some do it better in other ways.

That tree will not cause any foundation issues, don't let it put you off buying the house.

I don't think they I have ever worked a Sunday, Saturday's very, very rarely and only when it was necessary for a good client. Imo it's pointless me having a family if I don't get to spend time with them! I try to stay away from the shops on a Sunday and spend it pottering around the house/garden, taking the kids to the park and now and then visting the family. I think it would be nice to get to the good old days when nearly everything was shut on a Sunday and we were more or less forced to have a bit of down time. I know too many lads who have become addicted to working the weekends and can't cope without the extra cash. I see some countries are looking at a four day working week which although I think would be great I just don't see how it would work effectively unless every business adopted it. I hope Elon gets his Tesla bot up and running quick sharpish.

Iirc Sweden are looking to go cashless within the next few years. Shirley it's on the cards for every country within the decade. Except for Thailand, my mate assures me that it's still fifty p for a wank at the beach. I doubt that they could keep those costs down not with transaction fees and the lack of rust proof card terminals!
-
I'm not suggesting he should whip up a posse and kick the widows back door in. Quite the opposite. A decent neighbour would take an interest and help out where they could. Anyway, I think I will leave this for now as it seems that I'm not explaining what I would do correctly, or if that is coming across in the right manner.
-
Not just to find out if she is fit to talk to but more for the reason as to not cause any undue stress to her. I imagine that she most be going through terrible times and I would rather not just knock on her door and ask for my goods back. I thought that it would be best if a friendly neighbour was there too. I think we can dismiss her faculties and competence since she won't answer the phone or as I mentioned she may not be able to do so. The OP needs his goods back and I thought that it might be the best approach rather than going down the route of solicitors letters etc. Go down there and find out what is going on while trying to not cause undue grief to the widow. I hope ag manages to find a way to sort it out, a tricky situation for sure.
-
If you were keeping hold of someone's property then tough. Maybe you would prefer someone came and kicked your door down then. I think you totally misunderstood what I was trying to say.
-
That's a good call. She may have taken ill or worse. Personally I would, or would have taken a trip down there with every bit of correspondence from herself and her husband. I would knock on a neighbours door and explain the situation, hopefully they could provide some further info and if possible they would accompany me to the house. At least that way it would be less if at all intimidating.
-
I'm not sure but that's what I've heard. Makes sense I suppose. Not worth wearing some ppe only to have it compromised by a sticker!
-
Making the news today. Young guns is on bbc soon, that's worthy of a mention me thinks.
-
I had to bin a helmet years ago as some numpty gave us some site approved stickers that he had printed out at home. Apparently the wrong glue can degrade the plastic. Dunno how true that is but best to look into it.

You could just switch your phone off when doing something or going somewhere that you don't want anyone to know about. Might have to dust off the good old A-Z though.
