One thing I find puzzling, is that the USA has always been anti 'commie', Reds under the bed, McCathy outting alleged commie sympathisers, etc etc. Yet here we have a man siding with Putin/Russia, and from what I can read on X and American media, no reaction whatsoever. In fact, Ukraine is all Natos/Biden's fault in the first place. Why no comment (from the right anyway) about Trump sucking up to Russia, Americas historical enemies.

Well, rather than just building up forces on the boarder, Russia went and invaded a sovereign country, killing thousands of civilians and occupying captured land, as much to do with Putins rhetoric that Ukraine should be part of Russia as it was about NATO.

I'd rather the money wasn't spent on weapons, but after the Geopolitical events of this week, we may not have any choice

I couldn't stand on a stage for 2 hours and mime. Re Top of the Pops. I belive it was the Musician Union who required that who ever appeared on TotP had to be playing on the actual audio.. I did a few 3 hour 'dummy' seasons in the 80s where the band set up as if re-recording the track incase the MU turned up (doing in 3 hours what could take a week, yeah right) and then switching tapes ie a copy of the master, that got sent to the BBC.

"in some ways the EU is a bit like the adolescent child who starts telling their parents what to do and the realisation comes that it's time to suggest that perhaps they're ready go and find their own way." But normally the parents don't go behind the childs back to their abuser, say 'here, you carry on, we'll give you the keys to the house, help yourself to cheese and biscuits, and if you want to do it to another kid, we won't stop you".

Meanwhile, Trump has moved on from tariffs and is now jabbing at European buttons over Ukraine, starting his own talks with Putin and selling Europe and Ukraine up the swanie. Plus throwing a little hand grenade called Vance into the mixer. Captin Chaos

I bought one, and yes it's playable. But it's very light and the body wood is quite soft and dents easily. The hardware is ok ish. Couldn't really get a good action on it. It served its purpose of trying a fretless, but an upgrade would be quickly needed. But yes, it's ok for £130, but feels like £130.

Cool, thanks. Not what I thought then.

It's not a world I'm familiar with. What does the C stand for?

Apparently paper staws don't work, so it's back to plastic ones

And now they are doctoring Google search to make it look like ICE have loads of recent arrests, whereas actually the reports are up to 10 years old,just made to look recent. I tried it and the report is true. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/06/ice-us-immigration-deportations-google

Nope. It's because we don't understand the 4D chess game Trump is playing. He's far smarter than us mortals and only his supporters can comprehend his greatness (according to replies on X to various posts condemning his actions. Honestly, it's really worrying to read these comments). The bigger the BS he comes out with, the bigger the thing he's trying to deflect from.

Did 4 cyclists ride around Trump in circles for 9 days? The winner was the one who didn't fall over from being dizzy.

I think you answered your own question there
