Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Sanctions against fortress Russia with their taps on the gas and oil and numerous supply routes for "needed" goods through "satellite states".

ummmm.

I would suggest that some in Europe check their "energy" supplies and book a few of Manuel's rowing boats for transport of coal and oil. Perhaps, smile at Iran and the Saudi-es a little.

Perhaps, it would be wiser to have had a more united EU and common foreign policy.

It could get nasty. Very nasty.

Interesting to see what the markets think tomorrow.

Think I might buy back in on Friday.

Off main subjects for a moment...anybody reckon that a 1.5 bet on England to beat Wales (9th of march) : a good one ?....if you bet on Wales, I think it is around 2.4...(decimal of course)...I'm thinking of going for an England win...no handicap...good or bad bet ?...

England don't play rugby!

I bet John Kerry and William Haig don't sleep a wink tonight.....along with plenty of others.....perhaps even I will not sleep as tight as usual...

You mean push and shove.....along with kick and rush (for soccer).....

William Haig is in Kiev tonight. Is Kerry there as well?

I doubt it...as the Americans always have incredible security with them...which would be difficult to organize so quickly...

Let us hope Haig is a good ambassador.

"An ambassador is an honest man sent abroad to lie for his country"

First said in the 16th century.

i would still like some let alone more info on the bunch who have now taken over
for some reason, there's seems no word of any kind
all very strange

They fear for their lives and families.....probably like that Crimean Navy admiral.....

Has anybody remarked that some of the so-called Russian soldiers are women...

I wouldn't say that to their faces.

Is Corporal Hague going to man the barricades?

I hope that he took a bottle of it with him.

Just found out : Cilla Black and David Bowie are in fact the same person...

on a more serious note, what sanctions can be taken against russia that "would hurt" or so we are told?
i know of none
bed without your bottle of vodka?

RF........whats the weather in Aberdeen like this morning.??

I suppose they could refuse to buy their gas/oil.

not sure how much uk let alone europe gets from that source, or from where they can sub if necessary

Not in Aberdeen......market not down like I thought it might be...good....not good for : JKX has dropped which was inevitable....

Youve been rumbled RF.

Hows your mate Chris this morning?.

Hey....I'm a straight guy.....
