Not really the right place, but I am angry/sad beyond words. A medic mate I worked with in Iraq and Syria has been killed this week in Ukraine. He really was one of the good guys, great doc, brave as a lion and just the best bloke to have a beer with, when things were a bit grim. Give me a gun, I will kill Putin myself.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
@punkdoc so sorry to hear about your friend. It must take incredible dedication and bravery to put yourself in harms way as medics do in the areas you refer to.
If you are able to, please pass on our admiration and immense gratitude that there are folks like him (and you) who really do demonstrate the true courage and nobility that human beings are capable of.

So frustrating - been painting the outside of the back of the house, including the garden fence. I take the panels out to paint both sides - 15 panels. I removed six a couple of weeks ago by myself, lifted them out, removing any hindering growth on my neighbours side. Brushed them down, then washed them off, painted and put back - took me an elapsed week (I'm slow and only work 5 hour days!). My son helped me get out the other nine as they were a bit more tricky to access alone. Worked on another five of them last week - and arranged with my son to help me put them back in this morning. As he has an interview with King's College in London on Monday, he was working on his presentation so I really did want to involved him if I didn't have to. The five to go back looked relatively accessible, so I moved some pots (a pair of fruit trees0 out of the way our side, tidied up the neighbours side to make sure nothing would stop them dropping in, and hey presto, Bob's your uncle and all five dropped in without any hassle. Reasons To Be Cheerful I hear you say.
Then I moved the pots back - and ping - something has gone in my lower back. I'm moving like the little old man I am. Stooped, shuffling feet and wincing... Bum. Stupidly I would have moved the pots myself anyway, so my son helping wouldn't have helped.
I still have 5 to paint and put back. Double bum - maybe even thrice bum.
I'm not a Monarchist per se, but I'd rather have the Monarchy that has some vested interest in the country than an elected president that comes and goes. I suppose we could always have a president and head of state rolled into one like Trump - not sure how accurate this is:

DISGUSTING
How can anyone justify this?
