    I was trying to indicate that perhaps the interweb it not the best place to put your postcode on....

    Worth pulling stuff like that from searches before posting. FB is worst for adding it's little bit of code - I always strip that off. 

     

    ;):thumbs::popcorn:

    quite a few folks have had their expensive race push bikes nicked as some folks like to post on facebook their start and finish points of their house :(

    Everyone looks the other way

    Seeing some of the photo's & video's that have come out from Ukraine has made me feel very sad.

    No one should have to go though what is going on over there. The loss of life on both sides, just so one man can play the "big i am",

    Also what he is doing to his own people, just because there views are not the same as his.

     

    And my message to Putin, :flasher:

     

     

    Putin know's his strategists got it wrong.. thought they would roll in to folk throwing flowers at the tanks.

    Russia getting bogged down in fighting, which means he will get nasty and may raze cities to rubble.

    basically he needs an 'off ramp' to save face. Talks mentioned of 5 key points , 4 are easy to cover the sticking point may be giving up Crimea and Luhansk and Donetz province. 

    Fingers crossed this is completed soon. 

    Are you taking in any refugees Martin ?

    Years of hard work has taken its toll on my body, not the food i've been eating.

     

    Back on topic.

    They are now talking about China giving Russia help.

    This is getting closer to WW3 "IF" China starts giving arms to Russia.

    Nato are only giving Ukraine arms to protect itself. Russia are the invading force, so "IF" China does give Russia arms then how much more will China do to the world.

    you sound like you worked in a Russian Gulag :rolleyes:

    Russia buys china arms you buy Chinese bearings both feeding the coffers of Xi Jinping

    don't listen to the media they want to sell papers..Biden has made it clear there will be no war in Russia

    Martin when are you taking in some Ukrainian refugees :popcorn:

    £350 / month in your back pocket :thumbs:

    Vasily Arkhipov (1926 - 1998) was a Soviet Navy officer who casted the single vote to not launch a nuclear torpedo from a B-59 submarine in response to the U.S. dropping depth charges, despite being in international waters during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
    The Soviet crew had no contact from Moscow for a few days and was not sure if World War 3 had erupted. The captain was sure that war had started on the surface and wanted to fire a nuclear torpedo. It also did not help that the submarine batteries were running low, causing the air conditioning to fail and increasing the heat above 113°F (45°C). Many of the crew members began to faint from carbon dioxide poisoning and low levels of oxygen, which also heavily impaired their decision making.
    According to protocol, a nuclear launch needed the approval of only the captain and the political officer onboard. As luck would have it, Arkhipov was a flotilla commander who specifically chose to be onboard that fateful B-59 submarine. Flotilla commanders were usually not onboard nuclear submarines, but they were ranked high enough to change the two person vote to a three person vote. Arkhipov argued with the two senior officers and was finally able to convince them to surface and contact Moscow.
    His tenacity and decision ultimately averted a nuclear war and saved the world.
