Quote from: Slim on March 10, 2022, 02:53:14 PMI love Radiohead, but I don't like a lot of PT. Just In Absentia really, and only about half of that.

Love PT and tried to like RH and have most of their albums

RH are winey, boring and up their own arse and their fanboys annoy me. Members of the press concentrate on them to much instead of other leftfield bands. Anathema's melodies are so much better without loosing the experimentation.

Having said that though, if you are interested in alternative music surely you would explore both bands output.

Why don't people respond to emails on Ebay, do they want to sell their items.

For NATO or the west to get involved is putting a stick in to a bees nest, apart for Russia nuclear capabilities they have nothing, NATO would splat the Russians in Ukraine, but where does that lead? Does NATO call Putin's bluff?

Obviously Putin's made a massive mistake, because he was thinking the Ukrainians were going to be partying in the streets when Putins tanks went rolling in.

He needs to be given a way out to save face, fast. I am hoping China will start to negotiate a peace. Why the UN has not put a peace keeping force together is beyond me. It could be non NATO. Biden needs to arrange a world wide peace conference. Crikey Trump looks really stupid now.

On a wider point of EU and NATO membership of Ukraine, it is up to the Ukrainians if they want to join them, Putin has lost the soft power war- because Russia is run like a fascist state and the oligarchs have all the money and it is not a properly functioning society. Just think if those billions were given to the people of Russia. Russia would turn in to a technological power house. Also the EU is such a massive success and countries want to join. With Putin invading Ukraine he's shown old eastern block countries why they want to and should join NATO. the Ukrainians did not want the Finland option, which is bowing down to a dictator they wanted to join the peace of the west and Liberal democracies.

The only person wanting this war is Putin and 1970s Soviet Union, 99.9999999% of people want peace.

Remember Stalin killed more people than Hitler. Both are Evil people. You have to look at history to see where we are but in the end we are where we are with Russia- fighting for its survival and its influence in the world and with the old eastern block countries. Ukraine is fighting for its independence and its place in a modern western society.

Russia can not let the Ukrainians win.

me too Cardiacs gig.

stress does not help, Slim you have been busy doing this web site? Plenty of sleep and rest does help, I hardly listen to my stereo because that can set if off and if I do its at low volumes. One off loud banging noises can set if off like a hammer on a nail, also I have noticed when I have exercised a lot and am knackered the next day is bad but that could be the sound of gun explosion of the squash ball been hit hard.

I have also noticed it can go away if I am careful, it can get worse if you worry about it, I listen to the radio so I don't have to hear my ears ringing.

David you are quoting RT! do you believe RT? and from the Opindia link, (and opindia they Indians abstained from the UN resolutions.)

"On Tuesday, the US government's Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland testified before a Senate Foreign Relation Committee hearing on Ukraine in Washington, DC, and said that the United States was working with Ukraine to prevent invading Russian forces from seizing biological research material. The State Department also stated that it was concerned that Russian forces are trying to gain control of biological research facilities within Ukraine. The committee was set to examine Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the worldwide response."

Do you want the Russians to have more chemical weapons? you do realise you are living in the UK where you can say more or less what you want, in Russia you can only say what Putin wants, do you realise Putin is Evil? The BBC is independent of the the government, Slim often criticises the BBC for slagging of the government, you do realise Putin's friends have given the Tories up to £12 billion quid. ? Justa wondering what side you are on. The Russians have invaded an independent country that been around since the 11th century and are systematically destroying it and killing innocent people, and if we (the west and nato) get involved they are threatening nuclear war and oblivion.

It is not a case of the Russians have any good in them they are a nasty bunch of Fascists.

Putin like Hitler is a nasty piece of work, all because Hitler liked dogs does not mean he was good.

yes and it completely wrong, but we did not target hospitals it is against the Geneva convention. So it is a false equivalence. The Russians targeted hospitals all the time in Syria to bring down the moral of the opposition and they also used chemical weapons up to 17 time in Syria. The British are nothing like the Russians.

Quote from: Nickslikk2112 on March 10, 2022, 02:40:42 PMTruth, it's a Moving Target - unlike the Sov Convoy heading for Kiev.

There is a theory that the convoy was set up to see if NATO would attack it.

Putin makes me want to vomit, ive seen tougher candy floss than Putin sitting behind his table like scared rabbit.

Letting his army kill innocent people, disgusting man.
