My kids saved up for a year to buy the Metaquest 2. The day they finally had enough money, it was discontinued and impossible to buy a new one anywhere. Once I'd finished laughing I relented and put in the rest myself so we have a Metaquest 3. Have to say the technology is amazing. If they can...
Good article, thanks for posting.
Do you think there is genuinely no option for ‘Get him to the point where he has to withdraw but still be able to claim victory at home’? Unless there’s going to be regime change in Russia (which could mean something worse) then that would seem like a fairly...
I'm sure the Japanese would have said the same in 1945 before the bombs. But if Russia did take that route and threatened more and more until Ukraine conceded, there would be an enormous movement in the country for them to surrender. Plenty of people would rather live under Russian rule than in...
That game was by far the worst atmosphere I've ever seen at the Amex. I remember being shocked at the players visibly giving up after going 1-0 down, and thinking that has to be it for Sami now. Someone next to me held up a sign saying 'Time to go Sami' or something, and someone else marched...
I don't think this bit matters really. It's game over for all of us either way if it gets to the point of Russia firing ICBMs at NATO members.
When Putin threatens the nuclear option I think he is talking about using a tactical nuclear weapon on the battlefield in Ukraine. It would break...
Yes, I'm worried. But then when you stop and think about it rationally, it is highly unlikely. Russia are stuck in a war that has lasted over 1000 days that was supposed to only take 3. They've lost hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment, over a hundred thousand soldiers, their...
It is astonishing how bad they are, especially early on in the season. I just don't understand it, it's not that hard to efficiently serve a room of a couple of hundred people. Especially when they tend to be fairly well-to-do people.
When he scores goals like that, it's so obvious what he is going to do. You could see a mile off he was just waiting for the opportunity to cut inside and smash it. Defenders must know this, but for some reason find it very difficult to stop it.
I still think we should have given him a season...
Had no idea this was a thing.
My "definitely not drinking until the weekend" promise I made myself yesterday morning- this new information about it being international men's day today is surely a loophole in said promise, isn't it?
You honestly think that if the UK had effectively declared war on Russia in Feb 2022 that there wouldn't have been mass protests?
Come on Clampy old chap, I've always liked you as a poster but that idea is preposterous. It would have been an unbelievably unpopular policy with the general...
Everyone who voted yes: Labour fan boys who would say yes whatever happened
Everyone who voted no: Tory fan boys who would say no whatever happened
Everyone who voted fence: The sensible people in the middle, where most of the county sit.
How anybody can seriously confidently predict yes or no...
People would have been absolutely up in arms about us 'warmongering' against a nuclear power. It was an absolute non-starter of a policy. Even though it was probably the correct one.
It's easy to say now. I remember saying before this all began that if NATO had lined up a massive force on the Ukraine / Russia border and said to Putin "If you put one foot across that border you are at war with NATO" then there is no way on Earth he would have invaded. But can you imagine how...
My brother-in-law is world-famous and (I think) seen as the absolute best in the world at what he does (did). Problem is, it's so obscure that I've only ever met one person who has ever heard of him. Partly because I don't move in those kind of circles. I was with him when he got recognised in...
