Hey don't mock it! It's by far the best winter soup ever!

One day I have to tell you why I fear Texas.

I'd buy a pint to Shakira any time, if he ever comes to Europe I'll make it wine if he does me the honor of letting my kids to drool on him a bit. We might disagree on just about everything but that man has done so much to help me accidentally I probably should offer to keep him drunk till the end of his days.


My good grandma (not the nazi wannabe fucktard) used to take me in for two weeks during the summer to her home, and for an other two to their summer house. Sauna on Saturdays was at 6.15. At seven some show with dudes in weird hats started on tv and I cant remember what the show was called but it meant I had an hour to do what ever I wanted. I was something like 5-7 years old and that was an epic hour.

When we were at their summer home, there was no tv so she went to her sisters home to watch it and I ran away fishing and other stupid stuff then always almost killing my poor old grandma. I got grounded for the first time in my life because of that tv show too, and then I ran off for two nights (and got spanked for the only time in my life for doing that).

Come the fuck on, the memories I have of Texas can't be anywhere near as cool as the reality. Shakira might live there but the rest of them are pussies for sure compared to what Texas has already given me.

Fuck off bitch, I eat 15 euros worth of habaneras per week (they cost 20 euros per kilo here) but the thing I left out was the BBQ. The one episode she made me watch had epic looking food in it. I would've died of over eating if it tastes half as good as it looked in the eyes of a starving kid (I can't eat anything bland, I rather go without and my family is filled with people who are horrible at cooking).

This is a serious escalation! Not just another extrajudicial assassination, but using a nerve agent in another country. This is going to get very ugly

How can it be an assassination when no one dies? At this point, there is no proof of Russian involvement.

Not yet. 3 people affected. Who carries around nerve agents in their back pockets? Sure, other countries have them. But add the identity of the target. Now tell me who other than Russia would do this. Also, his son (and his son's fiancee) were mysteriously killed in St. Petersburg.

All a misunderstanding...a big:

We will do nothing about this, nothing. What can we do even if it's proved to be the Russians?

The fact is we're spying on them they are spying on us, it's a dangerous game and one that you don't want to lose at, I would imagine.

But this seems to break with the tradition of spy swaps in that they are usually left alone as part of the deal, but what was he doing? We don't know.

We have at this time no idea who has done this (well we the public don't know) But whatever the outcome the UK can't really do anything to Russia.

I doubt the UK is powerless. And using a nerve agent is a destabilizing addition to the FSB toolbox. UK can cut off diplomatic relations, or even invoke a nato response. C'mon. Using a nerve agent to kill someone in another country is a new low for Putin. Remember, many didn't stand up to hitler when they had a chance. I'm not saying Putin IS Hitler, Putin plays a longer endgame. But this crap needs to be stopped, and Putin needs to know we aren't taking his crap anymore.

We proved they killed Litvinenko with polonium, but we didn't/couldn't do a great deal and if it's proved that the Russians are at it again then whatever response they got last time isn't stopping them.

The USSR were posioning spies in London back in the 70's as well.

21 people now affected.

I really hope we get whoever has done this, if it is sanctioned activity by Putin the mans a nutter and very dangerous.

This is getting worse.Reports indicate the affected police officer may have been on the scene at the house, not the pub or eatery. Several reports on Russian TV were not sympathetic (to Skripal), saying he got what he deserved. I believe one fallacy the Russians keep making is that these agents they use (Polonium and whatever nerve agent was used this time) may be invisible and non-detectable in Russia, but they don't realize the difference in medical care in the UK (& the west in general) and Russia.
