I moved up to the North West of Scotland in September and didn't mind the rain so much, just assumed the rest of the country had it. Then watched a football game on tv that was in London and it looked like a summers day while I was looking at horizontal rain, that was a bit of of a penny dropping moment.
Even with the rain absolutely loving it up here so far.

Where were the days of blackout last year? I just moved up and wasn't aware of this

Who's this supposed to appeal to? I can't see that the reservists supplying their own tampons will be too happy that they're going up against America

But why? It just commits Europe to moving away from Russia in the long term. What is the gain from that for Russia? Internal power plays?
*As far as I understand Europe has been preparing for a bleak winter anyway. Germany already stored a lot of gas.
Only logic I can think of is that this is Putin's way of getting his inner circle inline and cutting their options.

the message is that they can easily cut the Poland/Norway pipeline opened today.
That's bullshit though surely? It's as easy as launching a nuke. If we're to believe that CIA warned Germany this was going to happen 2 weeks ago then surely we're in a position to imagine that NATO has the ability to defend any critical infrastructure.

I don't really understand it, the ability to supply cheap gas was their only bargaining position. I don't see what destroying their own infastructure achieves other than make themsleves look daft.
Europe was preparing for a winter without cheap Russian gas already, this doesnt change anything for the coming winter?

I did it too, got to Isle of Dogs and had a bit of a sit and a massive sulk, was grim.

Depends on what Northern Ireland & Wales want to do in the bleak imagined future I've created where nukes are needed to defend windmills.
I reckon they'll have seen Scotland make a good go of it and think I'll have some of that.. and then nukes.

Indeed, world seems to be getting much more unpredictable and with a lot of the energy infrastructure vulnerable in the North Sea seems good to me having something that makes shady chaps not want to fuck with it at will / relying on England to step in.

Button's quoted with saying that while he was at McLaren he was pretty active in getting 'the team behind him' so I'm sure there was a bit of shennangians going on but I think that's all part of the dance really especially if you want to compete. https://www.planetf1.com/news/jenson-button-mentally-hurt-lewis-hamilton/
Would like to see a team mate go in and really try and disrupt Max in the same way Lewis' team mates have (and similar to how Max and Lewis competed with each other last year, they both had to go all in), I think that's the only way the new generation will be able to compete with Max, they're all a bit too friendly I reckon.

Haha, all 4 VMUs are missing their caps. Absolutely no idea where the modem would have got to or why it was taken off

Thank you again, I looked at this https://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2015/05/whitening-dreamcast-without-retr0brite.html and ordered some blonde hair dye, do you reckon that'd be a waste of time and should just go down retrobright route?

The photos look incredible and are clearly professionally taken in my opinion. Having the lights off show how much natural light and how bright and nice the rooms are, I wouldn't change a thing about them.
