A video filmed by a Russian soldier showing the digging of mass graves for Russian casualties in Donetsk. This is the second time such a video has been released - the first was in November last year. It seems the Russians are burying their dead en masse, rather than sending them home to be properly buried by their loved ones. Better for them to be listed missing than keep the death toll ticking upwards, along with all the awkward questions that would raise back home. The site has been geolocated, confirming it is in Russian controlled territory, and seems to be closely following the guidance of a Russian handbook released in 2022 - "Urgent burial of corpses in time of war and peacetime". This handbook is shown in the video, and described here: https://medium.com/dfrlab/russias-not-so-subtle-policy-update-raises-specter-of-mass-burials-fdd02552bf5d If only the Russian government had spent more time working for the good of their country and less on their deception techniques - both internal and external, they'd have been a true world power.

Years ago people used to tell me that I would never get over my Phil Collins addiction. Ha - take a look at me now.

My brother was born with a rare muscle condition meaning he only had a single buttock cheek. He recently had an operation to correct the problem. They made a complete a*** of it.

My mate just rang me and asked..."What do you know about, Shetland Ponies". I replied..."Very little".

Opened with my Thai address.

No, as I said above, I have a Wise account in Australia using a Thai address, which acts like a regular bank account (except for the debit / ATM card), with an account number, BSB etc. I keep a small AUD balance in there all the time. I also have investments in Singapore and contacted Wise once about opening an account there, again using my Thai address. I was told no problem, but I'd have to close my Australian one first. You can only have one account.

Do you have a Wise debit card? I have a Wise account in Australia, despite not being Australian, nor having an address there, I use my Thai address. The only "issue" is that Thailand isn't on their debit card issuing list, which to me isn't a problem, but if you did have a debit card and they found you weren't residing in a country that's on their list then I could see them wanting further proof. Looks like you can't get a multi currency card if you live in the US right now too, for some reason, but you can get a USD one. "The Wise card is currently available for personal customers that live in these countries and regions: Australia Brazil Canada EEA + Switzerland* Japan Malaysia New Zealand Philippines Singapore UK + European microstates and overseas territories* USA except for residents of Nevada (US Wise Multi-Currency Cards temporarily unavailable) The Wise Multi-Currency Card isn't available for business customers in Malaysia, the Philippines, and temporarily in the US". Can I get the Wise card in my country? | Wise Help Centre Resolut has similar card restrictions, but Thailand isn't on their list either, so you'd still need to provide an address in one of the following countries: "Supported countries where I can sign up for Revolut You can open a Revolut account if you live in a country or overseas territory listed below.

Russia attacking its own infrastructure again as dashcam footage shows either an X-22 or X-23 missile crashing on the outskirts of a village, cutting off its electricity supply. This was 300km from Ukraine, so hardly a near miss. The official Russian line is that it was a discarded booster rocket - which would in itself be a cause of concern for people under flight paths of future missile flights, but the footage clearly shows it's a complete missile. Maybe it was one with a washing machine chip in it and it just went into the spin cycle?
