I'm sorry, but even for a faux Antipodean, your opinion about the consumption of offal is very, f*cking suspect. Best you put on your skirt and then try and convince me. Btw, you won't.

Russian invasion of Ukraine to relative merits of offal based foods in under 4 pages.
Breathtaking acceleration.

What wine would go best with haggis, neaps & tatties, I wonder.
Haggis can be quite spicy, so something robust, I suppose.
In the English Market in Cork city, there's one or two stalls selling fresh tripe and
its sometimes on the menu in the restaurant upstairs. Simmered in milk I believe.
Never was tempted. Looks awful. Reminds me of a body fished out of a river after
a week or two.

Tbh, coming from a working class family. I've had to eat tripe as an evening meal. However, despite that, no matter how hungry I was, I've never been moved to eat black pudding. My late father did, and I've always held it against him. So, IMO, black pudding, white pudding, sweet meat and Andoiulle (etc) is repugnant sh!t that only f*cking plebs would eat.

Personally I’d go a lot of brown sauce......and something along the lines of a “Sweetheart Stout”

That sounds very (gay) Australian; if you can even contemplate eating that shite, you are in need of therapy. Having said that, a Jock living in Oz is way beyond any known therapy. Best you get get a younger woman to f*ck some sense into you, but even if you did it, obviously,b wouldnt help your case. Sorry.

Jeez, even I know how to hold a rifle and I wasn't military, just RAF...
It made me cringe when I saw similar in Afghanistan (on TV!), I thought that they wouldn't last two minutes in a fire fight. And guess what they didn't and nor did their imaginary colleagues. (Generals pocketed their pay)

I do remember watching a TV programme about how Russia couldn't afford to dispose of their nuclear reactors from submarines and ships so they just cut them out and dumped them somewhere remote in Russia
The programme was researching how easy it'd be for terrorists to gain access to the material for a dirty bomb
They were looking at the site when they found a guard , this site was massive, 100s of square miles
They asked the guard what security there was
Very proudly he said ," I have dog"
Thankfully said terrorists appear to have missed the programme

There was an item on the news early last week showing them practicing with wooden guns, just like dad’s army

I just watched a few, very experienced Russian analysts interviewed on US TV. One was Col. Alex Vindman (Rtd).
The same Alex Vindman who delivered damning testimony to Congress, that severely damaged Trump's credibility.
He was born in Ukraine. Before coming to the U.S. as child.
His assessment is, that once movements of Russian troops and support elements to the northern, eastern and southern borders of Ukraine stop and military exercises of those units stop; invasion is imminent. Based on the positioning of Russian troops, he believes that this is not about taking enclaves for Russian speakers in the east of Ukraine. The Russian agenda / plan is to take the whole country and install a puppet regime. Classic cold war Soviet doctrine.
His estimate was that Russia would be ready to invade (again) by the beginning of February, or very shortly thereafter.

This is causing me more work, one of our platform dev / support teams are based in the Ukraine so we have been migrating platforms, services and even critical team members out of the area just in case. Does Boris know there will be a few more Ukranians in London for a while
