Use the "roads less travelled" and turn every journey into a bit of an adventure?

I do whenever possible, but sometimes you can't take 7 hours to do a 4 hour journey.

You can if you go on the M25.

Snakes, I understand... but teeth?

I dream of being strong, like a 6 foot thick lump of titanium armour, impervious to the wiles of the motorcycle dealer salesman, nothing can overcome my resolve to tempt me into a new bike.......please no.... nooooooooo!

It's controversial, but the Security Council veto cannot be overriden.

So the UN is in effect useless

First world problems and a good decision to have to make possibly?

There are so many aspects to this story:

Yesterday an ecclesiastical truck was deliberately crashed into the gates of the Russian embassy in Dublin.

The embassy released this tweet:

If you don't want to follow the link, the bottom line of the tweet says:

"We believe that no people of sound mind could support such senseless and barbaric actions".





____________

There's another tweet, different story, from Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, released by the Russian Embassy in London.
https://twitter.com/RussianEmbassy/s...86096837849099

It says:

"The goal of Russia’s special military operation is to stop any war that could take place on Ukrainian territory or that could start from there."

You can't make this stuff up.

Does Lavrov actually think we will believe the ridiculous things he says or is it just for the benefit of the Russian people ?
