Another Drive4show 'Anything goes' thread

[beninho]

First topic message reminder :

It does seem that this cat video is pretty old. But, also oeople seem more upset about it then say, Chelsea having a player who killed someone when he was drink driving.

We are a nation of animal lovers, my mum was all in on Romanian rescue dogs, not so keen on Romanian people.

Is Phil Mickelson being cancelled?

Certainly looks like it. Not sure what the exact symptoms of cancellation are but sponsors have dropped him and he's been shunned by the golfing community.

[TM2K]

Good points Mac. Here's my guess:

Ukranian people suffer brutally.

West goes heavy on inflicting economic damage.

The UN goes into 'special' council -- where small country delegates argue and discuss meaningless stuff endlessly and eventually pass toothless resolutions. Meanwhile, the super powers broker some sort of deal to help bolster Russia's economy after they assume Ukraine.

I seem to recall that Putin's daughter lived/lives/still owns property at a beautiful estate adjacent to a hole a St. George's Hill. At least that's what a member told me as we were playing there and looking at the "Beware of Guard Dog" signs one could see from the tee box. Don't recall the hole.

That’s true, she did have a place on the estate courtesy of daddy…according a couple of guys I know that are members at St. George’s, Berezovsky had a house a couple of holes over that had a clear view of her place and vice versa…when they were at the height of their indifferences it wasn’t unheard of for greens staff or early starter to encounter “hired help” of both oligarchs dug in at various vantage points somewhere on the course somewhere all in black with sniper rifles etc.
I’m amazed they ever let any of them but on to that estate as the checks are bloody stringent before you can even get serious viewings of property there

[TM2K]

On the plus side, my Oil and Gas shares are rising.

[TM2K]

I was at a big corporate lunch thing before the rugby on Saturday and heard a stat from one of the guest speakers I had to check for myself as it was so implausible it was actually difficult to believe.
Apparently Russia’s GDP is smaller than Italy’s is…wonder where all that oil and gas money’s going to???

[TM2K]

If Ukraine hold out, they could be looking at joining the EU!

Surely after all they’ll have been through by then that’s the last thing they’ll deserve

[TM2K]

Tuchal going down like Southgate, bringing on a ladt minute sub, who missedca pivotal pen.

He annoyed me by coming out to taunt the opposition at every penalty.  I woukd have booked him the second time he did it. Karma that he missed.

I totally agree with this, made himself look like a complete fool with his childish antics. I’m a Chelsea fan and was there today and thought he got everything he deserved, the prat. Just like he did 3 or 4 years ago when refusing to be substituted. Thought there were a couple of dubious calls on the high tackle and lukarthorse “offside” goal but all in all thought it was an excellent game and well refereed as the game seemed to flow really well and was played in a decent spirit by both sides.

I can’t stand those off putting tactics employed by Kepa today so it was rather apt he was the only one to miss. Just once I’d love to see a ref apply the rules properly and book the offending player the first time he tries anything then send him packing if he tried it again…anybody know the rules if your keeper gets sent of during the penalty shootout??

Really stupid comment from Roger Gale saying all Russians in UK should be sent home.

Those with Russian interests above a certain limit should. They are fifth column of a bullying mafia state, are rude and loud and don't contribute positively to our culture. (although the latter probably will be hard to limit to Russians)

[pedro]

Putin might look into splitting up Ukraine and maybe insert a puppet regime, like in Belarus. No way he can control such a vast territory.

Think we are doing the right thing pouring weapons into Ukraine and tire the Russians. Can't imagine the Russian soldiers morale is very high, nor that the Russian population wants this war. Although still a poor country, most have had a sniff of freedom and capitalism. They don't want to jeropadise that for some 19th century minded belittled tyrant.

We should try to starve out the Russian regime and support anyone who might want to put a bullet to Putins head. In the long run we need to get rid of him. At least preliminary US intel seem to hint that his generals disapprove of him, and can't imagine there won't be a whole line of people in Kremlin wanting him out now.

Imagine if Sleepy Joe hadnt abandoned $10bn worth of weapons to the Taliban? Ukraine could have had some of that.

[pedro]

As for Finland, they are very much integrated with NATO. Only thing missing is the actually membership. For sure a Finnish membership would piss off Russia, and just the prospects of it may be enough for the Russians to run up troops along the border. So honestly I don't know if it's in Finnish interest to seriously consider it. At least negotiations should be had with Russia beforehand, for instance guaranteeing that NATO missiles aren't lined up across their border.

I think we have to understand and admit that Putin is a belittled nationalist an that he genuinely does NOT like NATO at his doorstep. And that regardless of whether he used it as an excuse for invading Ukraine. So even if he's not interested in Finland it would still piss off his ego.

His real objective is to resurrect the Soviet Union, and it all starts where there is a significant Russian minority (=Ukraine). Can't help thinking the Baltic states might be next...

It's gone under the radar somewhat but similar has been happening in Georgia for years now, significant chunks of its northern territory are under Russian control.

The funny thing about this Ukraine situation is that all those hand wringing rent a protestors waving banners outside consulates in Europe in support of Ukraine are the exact same people who two months ago would see Ukraine as a right wing, racist, homophobic, mysogynist bunch of bigots. Funny what they'll sweep under the camera so they can be seen as good and worthy people.
Guaranteed if two months ago they were asked to name the top 5 countries in Europe they didnt give a toss about, Ukraine would be among them. Now all of a sudden the crocodile tears come out among the fake concern.

Doesnt excuse Russia, but its an interesting dichotomy.


As a side note Ben, Neil Oliver is not an anti vaxxer, he's anti vaccine mandate. Agreed he sounds like a bit of a loon at times amd on certain subjects (though im with him on his views about the SNP and Scotch Independence) , but hes not anti vax.

Was at Trafalgar Square on Sunday and witnessed the demo which was shifted from Whitehall due to a gas leak. Sh*tloads of people, the vast majority of whom were Ukrainian, a fair smattering of Russians too. Certainly would not call them a rent-a-crowd.

Mac you have demonstrated countless times in the past and admitted as much that you will completely abandon someone simply because they have different views from you.

Im not talking about not having comlassion, im questioning the sincerity of the type of person, usually a middle class Islington white person called Toby or Matilda that will turn up to anything regardless of what it is about, the sort of person that uses preferred pronouns on their email signature or wears a mask at all times or expresses useless platitudes like "thoughts and prayers" because they are desperate to show that they are "a good person" rather than genuinely caring about the subject

Yes, i do think advice should be followed, bit the advice from the JCVI is that children do not need vaccination and should only be offered it given particular circumstances. If a child is vulnerable or lives withba vulnerable adult they should consider having it, but the JCVI does not state that nornal, healthy children need it.

Everyone who wants the vaccination has already had it. It is not a childs responsibility to protect vaccine refuseniks

Wjy don't you go and read the official JCVI statement on the government website dated 16/2/2022?

As for Ukraine, I just walked past the Russian consualte and the virtue signalling platitudes in chalk on the ground is embarrassing. They can't even draw the Ukraine flag correctly. Thats why I doubt sincerity of some of these people who like to "protest" visually, Its just all so trite and cliched.

As I said;

JCVI advises a non-urgent offer of two 10 mcg doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (Comirnaty) to children aged 5 to 11 years of age who are not in a clinical risk group. The 2 doses should be offered with an interval of at least 12 weeks between doses.
