Re: What sports teams do you support?

Will today be the first time in history that Italy defeat England? Or at least since Claudius invaded Britain?


Well not today.

Italy 24 - 27 England

Bonus point for Italy.

Re: What sports teams do you support?

I didn't watch it but it is hard enough to play against Ireland with a full team. The usual mix of trepidation and blind optimism for later. Yes, I think the red card was about thirty minutes in. And France had already had a yellow card earlier. So they want with fourteen for maybe about 60 of the ...

Ireland dominated almost the whole match. It seemed like the outcome was clear after the first 20 minutes or so.

Re: What sports teams do you support?

The French national rugby team seems a pale shadow of its former self.

France 17 - 38 Ireland

Bonus point for Ireland, none for France.

Re: Witzelsucht

Tote Hose - that's nice innit? We have a punk band by that name. I believe that's how I came across it. To the interested audience - anyone have any idea what it means?

Re: On this day in history...

If I may go back in time . . . January 21, Gregorian, 100 years ago, is the day Comrade Ulyanov passed from this world. Not quite 54 years old, he had been in bad shape for about three years, due to the after effects of an assassination attempt six years before. He had frequently been in a wheelchai...

Re: Future President Donald J. Trump (aka Мудак Mk.2)?

Something else has occurred to me. Word on the street (well, at least some of the streets) is that this reluctance to support Ukraine in the US is not a Republican thing, but a Trump thing. Some in congress are using it cynically to get what they want on other issues (kind of like how Erdogan exploi...

Re: Future President Donald J. Trump (aka Мудак Mk.2)?

Donald Trump being elected was no reason for the UK to vastly increase its military forces. Arneb ’s concern is that Trump will pull the US out of NATO, and leave Europe to its own devices. If that is not a realistic concern, or if Europe is ready to face potential threats on its own, then there’s ...
