  1. Damn, pipped at the post, pass on congratulations to the Nut, and thanks for organising once again. Been quite a few memorable sporting moments in the last few days...Yarmolenko's emotional extra-time winner, Rachael Blackmore winning the Gold Cup, Italy's last gasp winning try, France's joy at winning the Grand Slam...just need an FA Cup upset today to complete the set...up the Forest! :)
  2. I think you once mentioned Bob that your wife is from farming stock, therefore she will be used to waking up very early with the Cock, I realise you've probably tried hard to make her feel more at home in London with your attire of Cotton Trader's check flannel shirts and mustard jumbo cords, but I'm afraid those along with the early morning dulcet tones of Ken Bruce are a very poor substitute...
  3. Predict Addict currently showing games since postponed due to FA Cup ties this weekend. Week 27 fixtures... Friday 18th March Wolverhampton Wanderers v Leeds United Saturday 19th March Aston Villa v Arsenal Sunday 20th March Leicester City v Brentford Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United

  5. Not that long ago, uSwitch, who's MO is to encourage people to switch suppliers (not just gas/electric), were advising people to hold tight on current energy deals as there was next to nothing to be gained from switching...

If you haven't seen it already, Admin has posted about P3girl being the latest banned incarnation of a well-known troll/multi-account user on the Forum, so it wouldn't surprise me to hear they might be involved in other unscrupulous activities. This troll always posts on certain threads on the Forum, this LTN thread being one of them, so worth keeping an eye out for them in the future and letting Admin know if you have suspicions they have returned...

  8. I've no idea if Hitler was a great speaker as I've only ever seen snippets from newsreels/documentaries etc, plus I don't speak German so I've also no idea of what he was actually saying let alone the context. Instead I think his success was more to do with his exploitation of visual communication/propaganda, especially film which was still a relatively new medium, not dissimilar to Putin's exploitation of social media in his disinformation war with the West since 2016. Dictators are clever in that respect. Hitler's speeches would've played some part, but his rallies were highly organised and choreographed events with the visual in mind e.g. the torch-lit processions, the Nazi insignia/flags etc, to such an extent that he even had his own film-maker to pre-plan them all. He also used architecture, in his case grandiose classical buildings in direct opposition to the new international style of Modernism which was seen as 'Socialist'. He even used fashion designer Boss to sex-up the uniforms (Star Wars is basically WW2 in space). He may have been a failed artist but he obviously understood the power of visual communication...
  9. I think "Clean Air Dulwich" also sometimes call themselves "Clean Air for Dulwich" which probably doesn't help Splitters!...

  16. Chick Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- ''That doesn't mean STW is pro Putin or pro Russia, just against all war's in what ever country and for what ever reason.'' Whooosh!...
  17. Chick Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- I still haven't seen any evidence to suggest STW are pro Russian, quite the opposite. Don't forget we were happy to bomb Syria. A look at STW's website this morning and it has 4 'leading articles', 2 of which are pointing the finger at NATO being the cause for the war in Ukraine. Just as important and telling is what someone doesn't say as well as what they say. And that was Tatchell's point, STW are quick to denounce/blame the West/NATO but say very little or nothing when it comes to Russia, preferring instead to chime out hackneyed excuses about it being NATO's fault/Western imperialism etc...
  18. As Peter Tatchell points out, STW have previous when it comes to covert support for Putin and Russia... When we stood in solidarity with #Syria's democrats against Russian imperialism in 2016, Stop the War did NOT condemn #Russia's terror bombing of civilians in #Aleppo & other Syrian cities. They called us "agents of US imperialism"
  19. Recent polls in Sweden and Finland now showing a majority in favour of joining NATO. This isn't NATO 'moving East', it's democratically run countries worried about Russia's actual expansionism/imperialism and bully boy threats...
  20. Gary Kasparov doesn't mince his words on the subject... The US far behind Europe still, and it?s no coincidence that the UK, where so much Russian money lives, has done so little. Corruption is the only word for it. If they expose it, they will be implicated themselves. We know that the Tory party has accepted donations from Russian nationals, one in particular with very close links to Putin. On Wednesday Tory chairman Ben Elliot's concierge firm suddenly removed the web page about its Russian business which includes work for billionaire oligarchs close to Putin. What other links are there, and how deep do they go? Why did Johnson prevent the release of the Russia Report? Lots of journalists now all over this, and if Partygate is anything to go by, the truth eventually comes out...
  21. These guys should be able to help you out Bob...
