We have multiple categories in Para sport and it doesn't make it any less watchable or stop some superb athletes being very well known. The sport issue shouldn't be used as a trojan to take the T out of LGBT IMHO.

Yes type it - EDF is ex directory on Google search - exclusive you see.

I think those hours are only for the AskMy GP app - All I say is do it before 9:00

Note today is Tuesday so they are not available after 11:35 - tomorrow it's 11:46 (why?) (CLick "our service times" button - not sure if it varies depending on how busy they are Monday 08:00 - 16:25 Tuesday 08:00 - 11:35 Wednesday 08:00 - 11:46 Thursday 08:00 - 15:00 Friday 08:00 - 12:36

It's unavailable out of hours on AskMyGP and at other times they are busy. 111 will get you an appointment if you are worried about something serious.

Gordon Brown speaks well and has substantive policies but accusations of losing his temper followed him (not to the extent of Bercow)

A few papers this morning saying Putin is dying of Bowel Cancer.

Blinken actually entered Ukraine yesterday "The US secretary of state briefly crossed into Ukraine after meeting with the country's foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba. The pair met at the border with Poland to discuss western efforts to support Ukraine after Russia invaded 10 days ago "

The US secretary of State is leading this and is touring Europe - maybe that's how they are running it.

Boris has a six point plan Sometimes I wonder if he is being used by NATO/USA/EU to Rope a Dope Putin. I can't believe he comes up with stuff without talking about it with our allies first.

They'll probably be a candidate - or maybe a candidate+ (is there such a thing). The likely future in Ukraine is Russian controlled and a long resistance fight supplied with western weapons until the Russians give up IMHO. Zelenskyy could be given residence in the EU if NATO get him out at some stage and form a government in exile and allow him to EU meetings. I'm probably totally wrong.

Is it the Poles/Ukrainians fault or is it the Germans/Soviets ? When you are asked to participate in unethical practices even in war you are supposed to say no - could we - hopefully I'll never find out ? "In 1941, two brothers of the Ukrainian leader Stepan Bandera were murdered, while they were imprisoned in Auschwitz, by Volksdeutsche kapos.[46] In the Chełm region, 394 Ukrainian community leaders were killed by the Poles on the grounds of collaboration with the German authorities.[47] During the first year of the German occupation, the OUN urged its members to join German police units. They were trained in the use of weapons so they could assist the German SS in the murder of approximately 200,000 Volhynian Jews. While the Ukrainian police's share in the actual killings of Jews was small because it primarily played a supporting role, the Ukrainian police learned how to make use of genocidal techniques from the Germans: detailed and advanced planning and careful site selection, giving phony assurances to local populations prior to their annihilation, and sudden encirclement and mass killing. The training which the UPA received in 1942 explains how it was able to efficiently kill Poles in 1943.[48]"

This book came out in 1997 - amazing how much has come true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

There is the linked issues of Russian donations - Lebedev is still in the Lords and many of our leaders turned up for his parties.

Awful - he just dominated matches in my youth RIP

Western Decadence - I think some of this is perceived rather than real. What do I do that's decadent ? Pub Computer Games Watch Netflix A holiday rarely It's more some enjoyable things in life that I know others in the world may not have.

How much has yours gone up this year and who is the provider I have paid ?70 a month for ages but now need to pay off the access (?150) and increase monthly payments EON is the provider - they say I should increase to ?143 but I'll increase to ?110 and see.

Today feels like preparation for being back in the stone age Was mead around ?

My gas boiler is 14 years old - but not sure there's an option when replacement time comes (soon) as I live in flats and have to take what is available. Don't heat much mind - my Electricity bill dwarfs Gas.

LOL Cummings just posted a post proving that nuclear war is inevitable LOL - But he's wrong. Not sure if the fact he's wrong is his point ?
