An old tradition of Spike Milligan's - on Christmas Day - was to phone Jesus College in Cambridge. The on-duty janitor would answer the phone "Jesus" and, on hearing those magic words, Spike would sing him Happy Birthday. That story still makes me smile every year. Happy Xmas :)
The guys who attacked the Russian Army recruitment building in Nizhnevartovsk in Russia not only filmed themselves doing it, but shared the video across RUS SM channels. Ballsy if nothing else.

Nope. I work in video games. Those ratings are there for a reason. Would you let your 12 year old watch an 18 rated movie? Same principle applies - too many parents don't think they're as bad - but some really are. I'm obviously a big fan of games - but right time/age approp.
English speaking UKR volunteers (can hear Brit, US and possibly Canadian voices) firing RGW90 antitank weapon at Russian armour. Date/location unknown although video is recent.
RUS soldier - either drunk or suicidal - makes a slow walk towards UKR lines. Clip ends before you see what happens next, but I doubt he lived much after the end of the clip

Which is no bad thing otherwise the dog owner would end up on an assault charge (or worse). He's making his point without putting his own ass in jeopardy too - smart move
Drone footage of intense trench-clearing combat between UKR and RUS soldier. No sound - two parts - utterly brutal. And very surreal to see it from above.. almost like something from hollywood. Part 1
Not just Britain with empty shelves; France too - this is Monoprix in Paris. The catch - of course - is this is the “rayon britannique” section. Everything else fully stocked.

Two sons - 17 and 20 (the eldest is in the reserves) and they (and their dad) think this is comical. What's more, there's space for 30k in the Tories proposal - a fraction of what the Tories hollowed out of the armed forces over 14 years. 40 days left of these clowns - the end
This is impressive. Belarusian's opposed to the war got hold of the CCTV from the parcel office where Russians were sending back looted items back home. They then used facial recognition to ID the men, then used the leaked d-base get all their details.
Reports that ships from DPRK (North Korea) and Republic of Korea (South Korea) are exchanging fire after North Korean vessels apparently sailed into South Korean waters.
@CollinRugg
Did you wish the US had a "hitler youth" in the 30s? After all, your adversaries were doing it...now remind me how that turned out in the end?
CCTV footage from Nizhnevartovsk in Russia shows what appears to be someone throwing a petrol bomb into the window of a building - reported to be - a military enlistment office of the Russian Army.
Unconfirmed reports RUS missiles were trying to knockout railway infrastructure round the Beskydy Tunnel; one of the main supply routes for arms and material from NATO into UKR.

No. I wear this mask to save others. The fact it's an inconvenience is an irrelevance compared to saving others from the misery of grief or the suffering of disease.
Reports on Pro-Rus telegram channels that Russia issued warning on air-space in 6 areas of Barents and 1 of Kara Sea . Novaya Zemlya was one of the two main nuclear testing sites in the 1960s. Just thinking out loud...
@GregHands
Jesus. We're at the stage when Tories are chering a deal worth £200k a year. In 2021, around 1.72 billion U.S. dollars worth of pork was imported into South Korea. So the UK has managed to 'secure' 0.00014% of the total market. We need a

now. These 🤡need to go
It's funny how the "difficult weather conditions" affecting fresh fruit and veg only seem to be impacting the UK significantly. Meanwhile in two supermarkets in Ukraine Silpo - Obolon in Kyiv and ATB in Poznyaki, Kyiv to be precise - no such issues

We urge the UK Government, and all MPs and Peers, to reconsider the Bill and instead pursue more humane and practical policy solutions.

I'm British. My wife is Russian. My son is British. My step-son is Russian. Don't think for a second that Putins actions have widespread support in Russia. They really don't. But please target your anger where it belongs - Putin and his mafia-esque cronies, not the Russian people
Been hearing reports (trying to get confirmed source) that RUS who were conscripted on 18 Sept are already being captured by UKR forces. So from civilian to in the front line in less than a week. Staggering if true.
@IoWBobSeely
Wouldn't it be great if politicians - especially the Tories - were just honest with the electorate. This post, mate, is one of the reason most of your mob will be out of work next year. Stop gaslighting the public - we're not as stupid as you think we are.
This is when the internet excels: Hieronymuss Bosch's painting 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' (1480ish) there is music written on someone's bum. But what does it sound like? Well, quite amazing actually:
Protests intensify in Tehran after a girl was killed by police because she was "incorrectly wearing a hijab". Or state sponsored murder as it's otherwise known.

@GaryLineker
Funny how people like Tice want to silence free speech when it doesn't agree with their own. Far left / far right - same sort of pond life.
It's amazing how much of this leaflet from the 1970s is now Tory government policy. Except the corruption bit... the Tories are somehow worse than the National Front on that score.
In Melitopol a Russian soldier had his throat cut by UKR partisans. "A Russian soldier molested an underage girl right on the street of one of the microdistricts of the city. But our partisans are everywhere." - Mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov
RUS wildfires are basically out of control now. The Ministry of Emergency Situations said the fires had "sharply escalated" in the Amur Region and remains difficult in almost all of Siberia and the Far East.
Someone 'accidently' set fire to a military display vehicle in the Voronezh region of Russia. Authorities say/claim it was children. I totally believe them 🤡
Quick maths: if Bezos did the same with his $200bn he could buy 5,714,285,714 acres of Amazon rainforest. Given the entire rainforrest is 1,359,000,000 acres he could buy the entire thing 4 times over. But no, penis shaped rockets…
