Kyiv residents telling Putin where to go

The toxic Putin is becoming more and more isolated.

Depressing stuff

Hapless cannon fodder.

Never mind a leaky defence so long as they put the ball in the back of the net at the other end. It's entertaining, skillful football I want to see: dribbling ( no spitting though), good ball control, great passing and deadly finishing. That's what we got against Iran Such a contrast to so many dreary games over the last 30 odd years. Listening to the Iranian captain expressing his support for the protesters back home and seeing some horrific videos of unarmed protesters gunned down by police, in contrast a video today where the riot police joined the protesters, made me wish we hadn't beaten them. In fact I hope Iran win the cup. Finally, Rooster, do you think you could use your undoubted influence with the website's managers and include an article about the situation in Iran in the Foreign News section? It would be much appreciated. Forward boys, never look back!

Irresistible on your feet music

This is worth watching. Some sane voices in the asylum.

The red tape is all our own doing/ stupidity. We intentionally became a third country, thereby knocking 4% off our GDP. The world's largest trading bloc on our doorstep and we leave it! You couldn't make this stuff up.

Are you watching the footy live on TV, Owl? 3-0 up against the terrorist regime at half time .

Amazing his microphone didn't suddenly malfunction.

Happy Birthday to the thread, Owl. You've done a great job keeping it going, the variety of material: village life, the farm, Thai family and neighbours, gadgets, home inventions, <deleted> football teams, there's something in there for almost everyone. Thinking about Thai family, my late wife's older sister is amazing. She's bringing up four grandchildren as well as helping her husband every day in the fields, whether it's taking care of the cows, planting/ harvesting rice, growing vegetables, she hardly has any time of her own yet there's always a smile on her face I take my hat off to her. Thinking about animals, the ubiquitous presence of chickens upcountry and their constant search for food makes you realise how walking and scratching the ground is instinctive to them. How people can keep battery hens cooped up, only able to turn their heads in a cage is beyond me. They may argue it's the only way to provide chickens for the masses, you can hardly have chickens roaming free range all over the cities, but it's imposed suffering and as such is inexcusable.

Desperate days for the conscripts and their families. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/11/17/europe/russia-soldiers-desert-battlefield-intl-cmd/index.html

Leave him in a cell with bars and his shoe laces. Explain to him there is only one meal a week due to cutbacks. Through their barbarism, some people forfeit the right to live

The man tells the truth so his microphones must fail.

The cannon fodder air their grievances.
