And I thought I had a bad day today.

It’s true, I’m so sorry to say.

I read the article, hit reply and almost started with the standard ‘Redditesque’ response, you know expletives and insults and whatnot; but I can’t.

I’m simply too exhausted by the behavior and performance of my country’s government. Exhausted by my neighbours who continually vote for this political party despite what it has done to my country. The absolute gall of this cabinet to announce this act, when there is no longer anything to act against.

People way say ‘but the weapons and training’ and yes, they were (and remain) essential. I honestly believe Ben Wallace to be a decent and principled man and that he acted from a sense of what was needed for Ukraine, not what was good for his career but, it is easy to arm an ally when the world opposes your enemy.

Sanctioning Wargner while it was active,with an active leadership was not so easy it seems.

Steel not flesh; front-line equipment did its job and, if the crew survived, did its job well.

Instapaper? Is this some new magic I’ve not heard of?

Yup jumped into the BBC soon as I saw the thread, seems to be the case; guess we know what air defense doing.

Yup, plus passata and puree. No such things as a tomato glut.

You’re going to hear a lot of people saying how straight forward Windows is install; I’m avoiding W11 so have my W10 anecdote.

The only way I’ve ever been able to install W10 is to disconnect every single peripheral except m/kb and one single drive.

Anything else over the years, be it different mobos, HDD,SSD m.2 thingies it’s always been the same; anything more than m/kb and one single disk W10 shits the bed.

If you’re still struggling, try that.

Used to be worse, to quote messers Pratchett & Gaimon.

"NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee.

It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system

Two farthings = One Ha’penny. Two ha’pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). Once Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."
