https://t.me/yigal_levin/64714 Richard Vereker continues to record the fact that among the Russian losses of T-72 tanks, the number of older ones is rapidly growing. Apparently, Russian industry is unable to cover losses with tanks with modernizations, and T-72Bs removed from mothballing are sent i...

The overnight ferry between Copenhagen and Oslo is well worth it - wake up to beautiful scenery coming into Oslo fjords. Though do cbeck whether it's seasonal, as I did it in spring. Helsinki and Tallin recommendation is also a good one. Did a booze cruise on the ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki ma...

Lads anyone changed to yuno energy? They are way cheaper than the main providers - prepay monthly estimate bills that get credited depending on your usage. Daily updates on usage on the app. Is there a catch or is everyone not using them a complete flippin idiot? If it seems too good to be true....

The UK has been a mess for years at this stage.

3 years at just over $2.8 million. Not much to write home about for the NFL, but imagine how many fat French forwards you'd have to try and push off you to earn that much in rugby. Good work, Louis! He's on about $200k a year unless he can actually make the match day roster which is unlikely, as ha...

Oh, I didn't feel it was ridiculous enough for that. Targetting a mans wife as part of a joke is pretty bad form.

Why? If they divorced she'd get 50%+ of his stuff so she's a part of it all.

He's a bit decent busker level I guess, but people like him so there ya go. David Gray was very popular in Ireland and he's of a similar bent.

I don't know if it is just me but whenever I see someone use the word woke I automatically assume they are a really shit person. This. And I don't even sit comfortably on the political left or the right. I'm guessing the word has subtly different connotations in antipodea than it does oop north.

Apparently the piers were protected by dolphins and a fender. Just couldn't handle that size of ship.

Also moving objects have been running those waters for a few centuries at least so perhaps the stationary object should have anticipated that.

The pier wouldn't have been designed for a neopanamax vessel back in the 70s. Why there wasn't a berm/artificial island or the like protecting the pier is difficult to understand. I'm sure there'll be urgent checks for an y similar instances across the globe in the coming days.

About 30 years ago I was at a Table Quiz (for charity of course) organised by the Comp. Sci. Society in Trinity College in Dublin (my wife is a graduate). There were about 100 tables and we were doing really well. 2nd last round: In which county was the headquarters of Fionn & the Fianna (Irish myt...

Given the circumstances Kenny was a 10/10, pity the scale didn't go higher. Wait for mary lou the wrinkled up auld gee bag sock puppet to role into town and you will understand, God help us all

What did they suggest? It seems out supreme court has already acted as though the referendum had passed, I wonder if they will face any consequences?

Anyone know what each side has to do next week? Too knackered to do the sums England get a bonus point win then they win the Championship. England win, Ireland bonus win = tie breaker which is points difference. Currently England have a +17 advantage over Ireland. England fail to win and Ireland bo...

Being only able to survey what's physically there is not naivety, it's reality.

Last month, several NGO’s and representative groups travelled to Geneva from Ireland to brief the UN committee.
Junket!

Little wonder the UN lacks credibility these days.

The text protects the right to women to abortion, and states that the law defines the conditions under which they have access to that right. Today, it is 14 weeks in France. So it could be reduced to say 0.1 week by law, in theory at least? I believe so although I would expect the Constitutional Co...
