A Russian offensive is stalling badly. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/02/08/smashed-by-ukrainian-mines-and-artillery-russias-winter-offensive-just-ground-to-a-halt-outside-vuhledar/

Sad to see Roger slagging off Rick Wright and Dave Gilmour as only musicians, not artists, unable to write songs. Every Floyd fan knows how central and unique to their sound is the playing of both members. Waters' solo albums contain some great songs but the lack of authoritative and moving guitar work exposes the bare bones of many of the songs. Depressive with no redeeming musical grandeur that Gilmour could provide to uplift the spirit.

Not so much left in the tank for Russia these days https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/09/europe/1000-russian-tanks-destroyed-ukraine-war-intl-hnk-ml/index.html

Water's speech praised by the Russians. Last autumn he denied the Russians had committed any atrocities in Ukraine. Brain Damage https://newsunrolled.com/world/177384.html

Hopefully Roger won't be a useful idiot to the Russian barbarians as Trump is. I agree with him about the inhumane policies of the Israelis to the Palestinians but that doesn't make him an anti Semite. However, he's so wrong about Russia and its brutal invasion of a sovereign nation. Wake up Roger! Which countries in Eastern Europe wants to remain under the suppressive governance of authoritarian Russia? They've been through that. That's why they voluntarily joined NATO, and for a very good reason. Freedom.

Cold hearted panellists.

It gets better after the first few minutes of nonsense.

What a band they were.

Imo all the best bands can display a variety of emotions.

Ain't karma a britch

What a band

I can't see the point of spending my retirement walking around Central Mall shopping with a rented wife or sitting for hours on end in one of the bars/ restaurants on the strip up to the train station. Boooooring but that's just my view. Another type of bore, bore holes. My three year old bore hole worked fine for two years but then in November problems began. Water would cease flowing after 2, maximum 3 minutes. The electrican said change the transformer. Did, still the same problem. The guy who initially installed the submersible pump came over. Drill a new hole was his advice, the water is not enough. I didn't believe him but I was tired of carrying two watering cans every day. Luckily a crew from Sakon Nakhon were drilling across the road. They pulled up the submersible and swore. The crew who installed the pump didn't have enough one piece electric wire for the 35 metre depth so they had joined the extension wire with a plastic bag, the flimsy type you get from a vendor! Over time water had got into this , shorting out and causing the pump to stop. The new crew reasoned the pump would initially run for 2 minutes as at first the wires would be dry but once in operation the wires would soon get wet and cut out. Flucking cowboys!

It seems that some Russians do care.

It's not just Putin. Sadly it's the mindset of most Russians.
