      So do I leave as euro? And spend away even though I'd prefer to have set as dollars to see excactly what I'm spending

        Leave it as dollars now you've done it. We did the same thing and found it handier to track spending.

          Interestingly the main outcome, all based on rumours, is the US sending even more troops to surround Russia. For such an aggressor, they seem to be surrounded by US peaceful killing machines to such an extent as to look like aggression towards them. Case in point - how the US went mad when a few weapons were flown to Cuba. And yet here we have the Western media getting high on anonymous stories that coincidentally always result in the US becoming even more of an aggressor 'for the greater good'. Bear in mind that the main build up of weapons centred on Russia happened in the 1990s long before Putin.

            First night of the woodworking evening class tonight and what a thrill that was! The course leader spent five minutes explaining a bewildering array of things and then said 'allright - grab some wood and do what I did. See you back here in 10 minutes for. Then everyone started sawing and chiseling. I started panicking. Starred at the wood for a bit, pondering what this all meant. Then got on with things. Repeat ad nauseum for a hectic two and a half hours and then I was sitting in a sweat with a couple of not-quite-embarassing wood joints, and feeling like a man of the people.

              I can only surmise from this that married life has changed you somewhat from a man of refinement to a man who prefers the company of Love Island. You be you, but this is an astonishing slur on a modern work of art.

                Ya, I'm amazed he had the gall to do that programme. Not a bit of shame or anything in there, while still sticking to the same unbelieveable story.

                      Ah, he's just fishing for a bite.

                      I do like the fact of 100,000 soldiers massed on a border being described as 'rumours' though. The man has a future on Russia Today should he ever want it.

                              It's good, deals with toxic relationship control and other themes, but there is a whole bunch of other marvel show tie ins,
                              iron fist, daredevil, the punisher, Luke cage etc, which are way more comic booky. They join up for a season called the defenders.

                              Marvel TV kinda went kaput abruptly and ended all the nextflix shows so don't expect tidy endings.

                                    It's good. Easily the best of all those Marvel spinoffs. Don't bother with those and don't bother with S2 of JJ either. Pretend it got cancelled.

                                      Why do you always use that stupid rolleyes emoji when you post your wordle?

                                      As I said to someone in the old boards days (which got me in trouble with the admins there) I'll shove that emoji up your hole if you don't stop!

There was a nice little bit of analysis on R4 this morning of how Teresa May probably became PM by accident that leads to a really intriguing 'what if'

I don't think its always the case, but it is often the case, that when we suddenly hear a lot of stories about some errant state, there's an underlying thing that the US wants to do, but needs a news story to justify doing it. In this case, sending troops to Ukraine. Bear in mind, its not the first time, or even the second time, that there have been stories about the build up of troops near Ukraine, and it has generally been followed by arms sales agreements and then forgetting about it again until the next bright plan to dump more expense on a very poor country.

Was a bit worried from the start, as it's in b&w and 3:2 aspect ratio, so like looking at a TV from the 1970's albeit in far higher resolution. Don't think I've ever been so bored in my entire life. If I had been I would use that in a simile to describe how bored I was.

                                                                                                                        Pure ageism on my part, but seems like a waste of time for these still capable pensioners. Write a movie for them instead of putting them through the motions.
