Strangely enough, the only two drivers at work who understand what is actually going on in Ukraine are Hungarian Steve and Bogdan, who is Romanian. And despite both coming from former USSR satellite states which are now in the eu, both support the Russian invasion. Everybody else at work seems to think that the war started three weeks ago.

one must presume now that what was once called Chicken Kiev is now called Chicken Kyiv.
I don't have a z on my car but I do think that "the only true leader in this story" has got a point here.
He's a real one not a Mickey mouse version.

I call it "Kiev" because I'm a Russian speaker but even if I wasn't "Kiev" has been the Anglicised pronunciation for the whole of my life and I would no more call it "Kyiv" than I would refer to Cardiff and Swansea and "Paris" as "Caerdydd" and "Abertawe" and "Paree" simply because that's how they are pronounced in languages other than my own.

Radio Matryoshka still playing which is good.
Some quality Russian disco music on there. Best played loud. Only place I have speakers bigger than a phone is in the car so it goes up to 11.
I could translate this but suspect not necessary.

Well that was interesting and from many years ago

Whatever his faults, you certainly can't deny that Vladimir Putin got rid of Covid overnight.

For as long as I've been alive scientists have been searching for a cure for the common cold. They still haven't found it. So what? But it largely has disappeared from the media because the Ukraine war sells more newspapers now, and that's the important thing when you are in the business of selling newspapers.

Putin seems to have also torpedoed this forum or has something else happened? It's remarkable how many of what dogless would call "the mainstays" have vanished. Is this just because of Ukraine? A delayed effect of the Covid bollocks perhaps? Or something else more mysterious like the aliens gradually escalating their abduction numbers in order to eventually have global control of all of everything everywhere at all times.

Looking at the stats on the main page, there have been over 1,000 visitors in the last 24 hours. Only 32 have been registered members (although some of these may have visited without logging in) but this is pretty much close to the long-term average for visitor numbers. Some members have left while others have joined. That's how it is on every internet forum.

Yes but it is interesting how the forum has gone so quiet. New members may be here and one would hope so but they rarely put their toes in the water.
Since all the Russian bollocks kicked off it seems to have changed people for some reason.
