Must watch that Lockerbie drama.
Was at university at the time, and lots of students were killed, so it has always stuck with me.
Went to the memorial a few years ago, it's relatively understated part of a remembrance garden, which is perhaps more appropriate, and spent time reading names.
We had a worker living in Lockerbie at the time... I asked the office manager to give him a call to see if he was okay... "Yeah I'm alreet, just got half a dozen bodies on my lawn"

Felt a bit “Evatt” that, but it’s Evatts players.
Fantastic individual goal from their forward who was a handful in the second half. Shit from our point of view, but we’ve got nobody in our team currently that can do that. Powerful running through people and finishing well.
We didn’t deserve anything from that game, but had they been down to 10 men like they should in the first half, and we win that comfortably

Agreed, I said the same afterwards, the game panned out into one of those where it needed an individual to take it by the scruff of the neck and show some individuality. We don't have that type of player, any showing those traits were moved on by the previous incumbent leaving us with a team of pretty passers.
SS has done well in making them crisper and more direct but he isn't working with his first choice of players at the end of the day, Stockport were very well organised in defence and we just seemed to cancel each other out until....
Not our type of game at the end of the day

Reading the story of a few Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk today - who were basically saying the whole thing feels engineered.
The US withdrew intelligence support and suddenly the Ruskies were on the move and seemed to know exactly where to hit.
DT being involved in some way or other on a plot like that woundn't suprise me one little bit. If he thinks it's going to help him get Russia to the table and get him his big win.
The Russians seem better at reading the battlefield... there was a Ukrainian spring offensive planned using German supplied (non amphibious) tanks and they simply blew the dams and flooded the terrain.
In Kursk Russian special forces carried out a rear guard operation leading to their current position by walking up the now unused gas pipelines.
It probably takes several days for withdrawal of intelligence to affect troops on the ground, it isn't as real time as air warfare, things tend to be more sluggish when dealing with the grunts.

VZ is siding with the Don, he knows the Don will want Ukraine to cede some land to Russia. If that makes VZ a coward then so be it. He’s probably fed up of all the dying now.
Putin needs a victory... he has the Ukrainians pocketed in Kursk... just like we did in Falaise and Basra... he has offered to take their surrender. Once he has this he will move forward with a cease fire.
Zelensky is playing for half time and getting everybody into the room an regrouping, playing the dark arts with the 4th Official and lying on the ball.
Once the Ukrainians leave Kursk things will change but Mr Z and his backers need to find a positive spin... won't be too difficult for what is essentially a media company.

out of interest, if we're letting them take the lot, why not Poland as well?
I have a historical sympathy for Poland. They were invaded by Germany, Russia and Czechoslovakia who jointly saw their populace as sub-human and Jewish. Their forces came over and fought along with us in the Battles of Britain and Normandy with a ferocity that our traditional armies found shocking.
Whereas the others did nowt... rolled over and just tried to profiteer and get by.
What was the Poles reward? We handed them over to the Soviets at the Yalta Conference

Or when they want to install a pro-Russian leader (with the help of the USA). Who next? Latvia? Poland? Moldova? Estonia?
Probably, with the exception of maybe Poland, Russia can have the lot in my opinion, I wouldn't risk British lives or waste any more money on weapons

It’s more than just the mitres. Of all the things I did, this was my favourite. It was for a competition. I saw some of the others and decided not to enter. I’m a bit of a sensitive sausage.
It’s a representation of a record player turntable if it’s not obvious.
I have the kit in my lock up.. guillotine, underpinner, mount cutter, A frame cutter etc.
My work was much more basic, I used to take black and white street photographs around Cambridge, frame them and flog them on the market... it was more of a paid Saturday hobby for me

Blimey - I didn't realise everyone was at it!
I'm not sure I'm practical enough to be honest! 😂
It's not all "practical"... I liked it because it was a combination of practical and creativity... I did a basic one day course at a place in Northampton... getting the right kit helps things. Mrs D had a stall on Cambridge Art & Craft Market selling her glasswork and rather than just sit around "helping" I got my own stall, selling framed pictures of Cambridge, I took black and white photos, made them "limited edition" and framed them... we did it for good few years until Brexit and Covid came along.
You can pick up the kit on eBay etc.. give it a go if you fancy it, you only live once

And to be fair. The redundancy package for the NHS is pretty generous compared to most. I'm sat here doing the sums and trying to figure out if I could open a picture framing business.
Licence to print bloody money that game! 😉😁
Did it part time a good ew years ago, thought it was something I could take up in retirement... I'll have to dig my Morso out of the lock up
You'll never be short of work.

Saw a report this morning that there is hardly any environmental damage. Only one compartment (of 16 containing jet fuel) was pierced and the light oil spilled almost all burnt off. No dead birds, dead fish or other marine life affected on the face of it . No cyanide on the container ship which will not be sinking any time soon.
Still won't stop tree huggers, ferals and JSO type morons claiming the world will now end because of this collision.
Relax at ease, not Exxon Valdez.
"Thank fuck for that" is what I say... I'm no tree hugger but I enjoy spending time on that coastline, there is one hell of a lot of wild birds and seals, especially at this time of year.
Sounds like we got off lightly

Got the candles ready yet?
Wish I was there, I'd get it sorted... video signal... peace of piss... fixed my gas boiler yesterday, loose wire on the HCM

It is now claimed there was no sodium cyanide on board which is a relief, I cyanide was pondering this... although its 50 years since I did my A Levels , sodium cyanide plus water makes hydrogen cyanide? If so expect a huge big bang!
Bloody thing is off the coast near Donna Nook which is a massive seal breeding site at this time of year and near to my favourite beaches.

Planes crash into each other occasionally.
One of the media sites showed footage of the tracks taken by the ships from some monitoring application. Bit like flight radar.
The tanker is stationary and the other one continues on a straight line and into the tanker.
Captain pissed in his cabin and nobody on watch...

Makes you think 🤔
They make jet fuel at Conoco Killingholme "Jet" brand so I can understand why there might be a tanker lurking around

There's still plenty of folk doing 200/300 miles a day, 3 or 4 days per week in my industry. I know my ex-colleague was desperate to ditch his Tesla as, especially during winter a 200/300 mile trip meant he had to stop somewhere at some point
1500 miles in one week is not uncommon.... the clients who are setting the decarbonisation rules are the very same ones who expect engineers and managers to be on call at all compass points 24/7.
Glad I'm not dong it anymore... couldn't think of anything worse leaving site late afternoon on the south coast and hoping to sleep in your own bed while watching some charge needle... all you want to do is put the radio on and get into that outside lane and munch away on the wine gums

You may not be aware of this, but it is very humerous that you view EVERYTHING from global politics to environmental concerns to football management through the tiny scope of your own career, and assume every single thing in the world works in accordance with your personal experience. Wanderersways own Alan Partridge. Tremendous entertainment. 😁
He asked me a simple question about my mileage.
You don't need to jump in and fling around your usual pretentious comments... I could rise to your bait but i know what you are

So how the fuck do you drive into a 30,000 tonne tanker at anchor?

What sort of mileage do you do daily?
Same question to your colleagues.
When I was PM on a major garage/supermarket account I could be literally anywhere in a day... Carlisle, Cornwall, you name it... a big 2 litre six speed diesel lump would do 800 miles on an 11 gallon tank.
Semi-retired office based on a three day week now... pricing maintenance jobs from Brighton to Edinburgh so the younger managers will be putting the miles in if I do my job right!

European nations are arguably closer militarily than they have been for years. certainly not weakened
Does this include the UK?
I heard today about how UK Defence Companies have been excluded from supply contracts under the just announced 150 Billion Euro "SAFE" rearmament fund because we are not in the EU... although Ukrainian companies are included.
Is someone taking the piss somewhere?
