    My thought is;

    Has nobody invented software to make Twitter readable?
    Too many self-important people with too much to say trying to use it in a form it was never invented for.

    Bit like this place then.
    Not really, a forum is better suited to self-important people with too much to say as it doesn't have a character limit and required the dreaded 'a thread' heading.

    Probably but the news this morning was commenting that there were people out jogging.

    Well, you know that a sporting governing body is corrupt and tone deaf when it lags behind even the IOC.

    FIFA and the FIA, I'm talking about you.

    Famously neutral, even Switzerland are applying the same sanctions as the EU on Russia and Russians.

    Short chat today with Russian woman living here I've known these past several years, usually a very cheerful chatty lady. So sad and depressed, painful to experience.
  • The problem with ambush drills is our DSs were so bad that we were always waiting on the wrong roads

    I can not be the only one who reads that as Directeur Sportif and is thoroughly amused and consfused
  • I don't actually know what DS means in this context. I think Directing Staff.

    Didn't even do that for the Nazis.

    (I have my own suspicions as for why, but anyway).

    they aten't suspicions.

    Switzerland is famously built on 3 things - chocolate, clocks and what you suspect.

    not as painful as your house being blown up, having to flee your country for life and leaving your husband/son/brother/etc there to have to kill people who generally don't want to be there either.

    i'd say that was prettyshit tbh.

    **I think** that Russia has just defaulted on its sovereign debt, if I understand correctly which is....not necessarily the case.

    Quite possibly due to this story.
    Quite right I'd say.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Ah come on, wasn't drawing comparisons there. Merely an example of a(n expat) Russian shocked, saddened, distraught, embarrassed by the behaviour of Putin and his gang. Which will be representative of a significant proportion of Russian nationals in or out of country. The painful bit referred to me, seeing and hearing the effect on this one individual.

    ask her how she feels about the Crimean people. Or the Chechnyans. Don't seem to remember too many Russians complaining then.

    methinks if it was all going swimmingly she may be acting differently.

    I've seen a post (on LinkedIn of all places!) where someone was saying Ukraine deserves this as they were part of the force that invaded 'Sovereign' Iraq.
