  1. I need a few shots of Roy now and again.
  2. Lots of forced smiles and compulsory clapping amongst these Russians celebrating New Year.
  3. My neighbour's durians coming along nicely. I'd like to take a photo of the trees bearing fruit but they're down a 1 km narrow track with no way to turn round a pickup.
  4. Not true Owl, there's some planted near us in a couple of locations that are doing well. One small grove produced plenty of fruit but some blastard liberated the whole lot one night
  5. Very suspicious that your better half's head has been removed in this photo yet further down the page Mrs Owl is proudly posing with her dog. A suspicious soul might suspect the happy recipient of Owl's skilful winnings is in fact the hat lady ( with the hat removed of course).
  6. This video omits his fall which I saw in another video. In that, he seems to fall backwards, which would be consistent with the taking a selfie theory.
  7. I believe it was proposed to be declared illegal due to the monotony of the game. The constant fixation on scoring a bullseye or treble twenty with minute variations in elbow/arm movements, was considered to be harmful regarding development of motor skills and brain activity.
  8. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/UK-Citizens-Pay-The-Highest-Electricity-Bills-In-The-World.html
  9. An ammunition dump in the basement too!
  10. Someone said the Russians are stupid to keep all their forces together in one place as things like this can happen. But someone else replied saying if they were split into small groups they'd all do runners, not enough commanders to watch over them! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64142650
  11. Russian elite preparing the masses for total mobilization? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64138731
  12. Russian own goals https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3644475-some-russian-missiles-never-reached-ukraine-during-todays-attack-ukraine-air-force.html
  13. Another good reason not to live in that depressing part of England. Grimy 1930s council estates and nearby coal fired power stations belching black smoke into the sky 24 hours a day are my memories of the area. Doncastrians, go south, to Bristol where the grass is greener, the summers longer, the winters shorter, and the women aren't all called Sharon with peroxide blonde hair and a pram to push.
  14. Apparently he weighed approximately 200 kilogrammes which may have upset his balance if the train was rocking at all. In the videos shown on Thai TV it appeared to me he was falling backwards. He may have sat on the steps and held the rail with one hand. Whatever, a sad way to go at only early middle age
  15. Ah, that's nice nausea, we're the same age. Did you enjoy life in the UK in the 70s? It was a lot of fun, student grants, subsidized beer at Bath Uni in 73/4, was it 12 or 20 pence a pint, I forget? Jobs a plenty. National Health? No problem, see a doc the same day you're sick. But I digress.. I was listening to a Ukrainian woman talking about fighting Russia. She said the idea of losing her home, her family was too much to bear. Better to lose her life than everything she held dear. So fight to the death it is
  16. Russian advent calendars are for sale. Every time you open a window, an oligarch falls out
