Read it and see, official BBC website. the BBC is not bound by any laws to tell the truth on the BBC world wide service, its funded and under the oversight of the Foreign Secretary, in other words a propaganda arm of the UK government.

List of Irish companies ‘trading with Russia’ sent to Department of Foreign Affairs Couple of thoughts here, firstly if The Department of Foreign Affairs don't know who here is still trading with Russia we need a new DFA, secondly if the Ukrainian embassy are saying they have past this list one the...

Just got my AXA renewal. Its more than 5 weeks before it needs renewing. They seem to post out the renewals earlier every year? Any they sensibly state that last years insurance was €450 and this years is €420. Thats fully comp on an ancient driver with wife (also ancient) as named driver. Car is a ...

I have a bit of a thing for Mikrotik atm, so thought I'd start a thread. As Mikrotik make routers then it could just as easily be a general thread for chatting about routers but I'll stick with Mikrotik to start off. I mentioned in another thread that this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017W43...

I can remember seeing both those pictures. They might be illustrations in a book but I suspect they might have been posters on a classroom wall at school - long long ago. So I wonder if they were educational posters. .... So went looking and found this nice little compelation of classroom nature pos...

If its oldies, then this is dead funny provided your not too woke?

I see this as very badly thought out.

Look at it another way. Say the right to repair means that more people that couldn't otherwise afford say top end phones get to use second hand repaired one. Guess what the aspirations of the group will be for their next phone.

Just convince yourself that all the guys queuing up were burning fuel decreasing the value of the lower price.

... Take a moment and think for yourselves, the media says Russia is taking heavy casualties to its Conscription army, Conscription in Russia is a 12-month draft, which is mandatory for all male citizens ages 18–27, with a number of exceptions. Putin has stated there are ZERO Conscription forces in...

This almost seems inappropriate

I'm wondering how much of a deliberate tactic it is for the Russians to keep blocking the refugees?

A city full of civilians eats everything quicker than a city that is just full of fighters.

If the Ukrainians can disrupt the Russian supply lines then I think they can drag this out for a long time.

If they just sit and take the punishment then I think Russian artillery will win the day.

Off on a tangent already

Anyone else wonder why its for sale?

I thought it might be worth a separate thread on Just the military side of the war in the Ukraine. To put it bluntly I don't see how Ukraine can win against Russia but the defence of Kiev could end up a massive meat grinder on the scale of Verdun. What Russia has in spades is Artillery and they seem...

Great story no matter its veracity you want to be true ....

A grandma in Kyiv says she took out a suspicious drone while Russia was attacking by throwing a jar of pickled tomatoes at it

Add Owatrol to any hand paint you use and use it neat or 50:50 with aluminium primer on bare metal to stop new rust.

It will add to the price but sometimes when you leave off a job and want to keep the rust off its handy.

I love the product but think the price is obscene.

I've been using these guys https://coaldirectireland.com/ for the last 3 (4?) years. Just phone up with a credit card. Delivery is included in the price. Delivery on a pallet and normally 20kg bags which are easy enough to shift if the driver can't get the pallet near to where you want them. Normall...

Can't remember the exact amount but Tesco in Waterford had the price of both sub €1.80 during the week. I remember petrol was cheaper than Diesel at about €1.75.

7 quid on the bag of coal. That's a lot! Flour going to go up likely quite a lot, as Ukraine will not plant much this year. I usually get all my flour in large bags from Kilkenny mills but unfortunately one cannot bulk buy flour in advance as it does not keep, even if well stored. Being dependent o...

Howard made some great machines.An old boss took his leg off with a walk behind one (old story I've told before he hit a buried drain cover the back end of the rotovator came up and he tried to control it and pulled it down on his leg).
