Re: What's going on in Ukraine?

I can see us being in open war with Russia before the end of this parliament. I would imagine it will hinge on how much influence they can exert on domestic elections across Europe during the next few years.

Re: quEsTiOn

I had a spate of the women in the house not cleaning the bowl if they had splatted.

I instigated a public name and shame campaign in the house.

Who was last in here?

Meanwhile musk goes into federal agencies with his bunch of incel acolytes and gets root access to the payment systems.

Most pro level road cyclists will be decent mtb riders but unusual for folk to be at the top of both sports. Peter Sagan, Cadel Evans and Marriane Vos are notable dual riders. A larger crossover between cyclio cross and road riding due to the seasons running summer and winter.
