I don't think it did work and was needed for the peace deal as much as anything. RL in Australia would now be even stronger if all of that nonsense hadn't happened. It did work. Those clubs still exist now. The NRL is making tonnes of money. Saying they would have survived anyway is speculation. It...

Richmond station is a 3 minute walk away from AAMI. No shit, I used to get there by tram Sorry, you said there was no direct train station to AAMI unless I’m mistaken?

If you want a good walk you could go from Cynwyd, over the Berwyn and Aran and end in Dinas Mawddwy. South Snowdonia so less Saes about!

But Willie has specifically linked paedophilia and Catholicism in the past while also being a front and centre Donaldson supporter.

Just finished this book on your recommend. I need a season two now. That brought me to the Franco-Prussian war. The French seem to have thrown the first stone for that. So 1-1 going into the decider.

Fúck. Saw some videos last night. Men just firing indiscriminately into people. :( Calling them men or animals is a disservice to both the aforementioned. Just sick scum.

I ask because they’ve just voted, by the largest majority they’ve ever had in any single issue vote like this, to maintain the part of the constitution that says a woman’s place is in the home.

What do they mean by round? Its a shell right? What calibre typically would they be? Do you have an example of one with a link to it? Just interested.

Ye a shell. 155mm.

Nols is the least offensive poster on the board! As for glee, you're some hypocrite there. He called me a moron, when I was praising a Munster lock. He’s being a Cnut.

After Avdiivka will the Russians try take back Robotyne? The terrain around there isn't the easiest to defend.

Salix

How? If you focus on the very narrow tactical and operational situation around Avdivka, then Russia is on the front foot. If you look at any of their pre-war strategic goals, Russia have already spectacularly lost. Putin will come out of it all with some territories . I doubt very much that he’ll b...

A more suitable aircraft for Ukraine than the F-16. Obviously their are more F-16's available and more spare parts.

The Chinese also have no recent military experience. Although the Taiwanese forces arent as strong as they could be. Still a monumental task for the PLA. A decent distance to cross under fire.

Why would England get 7 sides in this premiership? Only two Irish sides, which means one of Ulster or Munster will miss out whilst English and Welsh dross will be in it.

Although the attack on Avdiivka was a failure it does show an evolution of Russian tactics. The co-ordination between aviation and grounds forces is something they have mostly failed to do.
