But, hey, keep 'er lit, mate!

Nice one Solid. Bit of a vanity project if truth be told. I want to see if I can still do it

My head's spinning - does that count?

I'll let others do the exercise and make do with donating through DEC for the bigger picture and church charity working directly with those affected on the ground in Ukraine.

I've been told i can carbo load for 2 days. 2 days? I've been carbo loading for the past 42 years

Only just noticed you had a Just Giving Page for DEC Merv.

Sorry - I had previously used their website rather than through your page. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

No worrys Capn. All going to the same place anyway

Those bicycle saddles can be tortuous . There’s a cream for that apparently.

Chamois cream has been recommended + padded pants and a gel saddle cover. Hopefully keep the Mount Merrions at bay

Some video clips of action in Ukraine in https://funker530.com

I don't think the Russians have had to fight a war were their enemy has possibly a better source of intelligence than themselves before and been unable to to take action against that source .

Ukraine intelligence is most likely provided by Nato states . In previous conflicts the Russian have faced an enemy lacking that intelligent source.

Now it’s being reported that Prigozhin and Wagner are marching on Moscow.
How long before Putin gets a knife in the back to avoid an all out civil war.
I hope the horrible little Cnut dies an excruciating and lengthy death.
Being crucified and paraded through the streets of Kyiv would be fitting before he goes.

Hopefully this builds into a proper rebellion. Putin will even more desperate and more paranoid than ever.

Not sure we really want a desperate, paranoid individual with significant nuclear capabilities. It would probably be better that he believes he is safe and secure, and in complete control until one morning he fails to awaken from his slumbers.

True. I reckon a literal stabbing in the back is required.

At one point I thought the whole thing might have been a set up to move the Wagner troops into position for a strike from the north. I'm still not absolutely sure it isn't...

That thought had also crossed my mind ??

Also, if it was a genuine rebellion against Putin, where does that leave the Wagner troops in Africa who have been doing his bidding,(allegedly), in Mali, Sudan and Central African Republic ?

Aye - or a move on Lukashenko in Belarus.

I don't think if Putin were to catch a cold (in old soviet terms) - that Russia's relationship with any of those african nations/comercial interests would significantly change.
