Putin, arse, elbow

You missed what to my mind is the most obvious candidate - tidal power. As long as the moon continues going round us there will always be tides. Yet so little investment has gone into it

It has been tried, and many times over recent decades. It has limited duration and it is an expensive to build for output..

Stop it!

88 pages in & it's quite clear that very few DiyNutters actually understand exactly what is happening in the Ukraine.

I fear for our collective futures, I really do.

Then enlighten us, oh wise Lord of Dork.

Then why might you think they have not built any tidal? They have tried lots of engineering methods, moving with the waves flaps, turbines etc.. All have worked, but deemed not economical to build full scale.

So it's not because waterfowl enthusiasts prevent development of Morecambe Bay?

There's a new thread for this, the mods have been kind to us.

For you, I would need to draw pikturez. I cannot draw.

Go on, go on, go on, give it the old college try, why not.

Fourth law of trolling, you must make others spend more effort responding to you than you spent in writing your post.

Seems that Ukraine are having some success in one particular area
With there new (?) aquired missile systems

Reports suggest that 2000 Russian troops are in danger of being surrounded ?

Maybe he isn't aware that all Johnson has been doing is diversions, and that we have finally reached the point where most people here, including many in his own party, don't want Johnson anywhere near the "levers of power" ever again. Have a crisis caused by your own stupidity/greed/incompetence at home? Why not bugger off to Ukraine and try to get some positive publicity to divert attention from your wrongdoings here. rHe's done this sort of thing all his life.

When the history books are written what's the betting that Ben Wallace will be found to have been the real "mover and shaker" in all of this

I posted up what the Ukraine presudent said in a speech



Dare say he has more on his mind than uk domestic politics ???

But please yer self Transam gives not a jot

Not really, the river can be crossed in small boats, or swimmers with a guide rope. But they may not be able to recover any heavy equipment or get any new heavy systems on, or enough amunition and supplies to operate effectively.

With HIMARS Ukraine can reduce the effectiveness of that group of soliders and bring overwhelming force down on them. Russia will either have to keep feeding men into the grinder or retreat. If they retreat then Ukraine can bring HIMARS into range of the Crimea land route and start to roll them back there too.

There will be no success. It will decimated just like Syria when the Russians turned up.

Depends how you measure success I suppose ?

Vietnam ( VC)
Ahganastan ( taliban)

Ahganistan ( Russians)

Syria (Assad is still in power )

Putin thought the Ukraine would collapse with in weeks

40 to 50,000 Russian casualties (100 plus a day and growing) say the Ukraine’s successfully stopped him
