    It's an issue with a lot of news coverage at the moment: they appear to have three searchlights behind the camera to light the interviewer/interviewee, which at best makes it look like they're on a set, at worst begs the question why Russian or Taliban snipers aren't taking the easiest target they can get

    As posted earlier, the Kia wasn't even his: he borrowed it from somebody who worked there for a photo op

    There's a reason I stopped quoting Turkish sources in the transfer thread...

    This is a man who spent five minutes as Valencia manager, then quit the game entirely.
    Not really in a position to talk about doing one when the going got tough.
    Not so easy when Fergie's not intimidating all the officials, is it Gary?

    The wife of a US Supreme Court judge repeatedly pressed Trump White House staff to overturn the 2020 presidential election:

    She's mental and he's bent as ****.

    Okay, how bad does a commander have to be that not only do their men decide to off them before the Russian politbureau do, but decide that rather than shoot him they run him over?

    If you know anyone in Dover, might be worth sharing this article. Natalie 'Shame on me' Elphicke is a particularly odious individual, even in this current Government.

    It's tearing families apart. One of Mrs B and my best friends is Russian (although she was born in Lviv and has Ukranian ancestry on her mother's side) and is now a UK citizen. She was married to a bloke I used to work and socialise with, but despite being married to a stunningly beautiful, former model, he went off to chase women 30 years his junior...<doh>

    Her parents are still alive and live in Moscow, along with her sister and brother. Her father was a former USSR Air Force big-wig and a staunch supporter of Putin. She no longer talks to him. Her mother is a lovely woman, has come to the UK a number of times and is distraught at Russia's war in Ukraine. Her brother's son has significant health problems and needs western medicines to stay alive. Our friend fears that she may never see either of her parents again (for differing reasons) and that her brother might be drafted and her nephew die, if trade between the west and Russia ceases altogether.

    She is in bits and comes to see us more than ever before, but is ashamed of her homeland and only ever a small fraction from crying her heart out. In such a wonderful person, it is a terrible thing to see.
