Ukraine has just launched a number of Himars missiles into Russian occupied territory, including the self-proclaimed 'Donetsk People's Republic', Crimea, and the city of Melitopol, where multiple explosions were reported, including at a former resort being used as a Russian barracks there. The use of a resort would suggest these were not common conscripts or released prisoners who were billeted there, with some commentators claiming the site was being used by the Wagner mercenary group. "Ukraine has attacked a barracks in the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol, with some Ukrainian sources claiming scores of Russian casualties. According to witnesses, 10 explosions were heard, although some of those may have been from Russian anti-aircraft systems. Ukrainian officials claimed scores of Russian dead and injured while Russia conceded a handful of casualties." Russia-Ukraine war: Ukrainian missiles attack Russian-occupied Melitopol – live (theguardian.com) Melitopol is a key link in Russia's Southern Ukrainian defensive line, and controls a vital artery to Crimea. This comes shortly after Russia stepped up attacks on Ukrainian electricity infrastructure, including taking out Odesa's power supply, meaning around 1.5 million people are without electricity. Russia continues to target vital, life saving civilian infrastructure, while Ukraine targets Russian occupiers. One of these is a war crime. No surprises which one that is.

From their "A day at the races" album? Anyway, he can't sing today. He's a little horse.

This could be the perfect partnership. The British boffins come up with the ideas and technology, the Italians do the styling, and the Japanese do the electronics.

I've decided I want a pet termite. I'm going to call him Clint. Clint Eatswood.

When I was a student I was so broke I couldn't afford the electricity bill. Those were the darkest days of my life.

I got an e-mail saying 'At Google Earth, we can even read maps backwards', and I thought... 'That's just spam...'

Peter was talking to his friend Bob. "I had it all Bob ... money... a beautiful house... two fast cars ... and the love of a beautiful woman." "Then pow! .. It was all gone!" "What happened?" asked Bob? "My wife found out about the beautiful woman!"

I bought a book called The Worlds 100 Most Depraved and Disgusting Jokes. When you break the price down per joke it was really cheap; I only paid for the authors 6 cents of humour.

I just got off the phone with a friend in Canada. He said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is dropping below zero and the north wind is increasing. His wife has done nothing but look through the Kitchen window all day. He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her In.

In our school it was Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away. Batmobile lost a wheel on the motorway. Alternately, the last two lines were replaced by Wonder Woman lost her bosom on the motorway. (Accompanied with much tittering (no pun intended) from our childish minds).

And it's a CNN article they're climaxing over. It must be fake news then. The hypocrisy! The hypocrisy!

Let's see who had the right childhood to get this one...

I know the feeling. Sometimes I go through the whole drawer before I find one with the concave bit on top.

I rgularly vacuum my kyboard, with no bad ffcts. It's squaky clan.

Yes. Wagner's Valkyries.
