mick-b,

I treated myself to Roscoff Onions this week; a bit expensive even when on offer but a treat after the poor quality UK onions this year's thanks to last year's drought.

Pie - Thief - in - Chief... pass the sick bucket; she was filmed singing this [after the Tory Scum refused to feed kids over Summer if I remember correctly]

Who in their [far] right mind would appoint an obese cigar smoker as Health Minister?

It's winter, so canned tomatoes for me. A couple of dozen of these in the larder:

China must think that they no longer need to do business with 'The West'.

Do you think the pie thief eats them itself?

They painted the street outside the Ruzzian Embassy yellow and blue - WELL DONE!

Bloomberg Big Take podcast

https://omny.fm/shows/the-big-take/how-does-ukraine-continue-to-beat-back-russia

February 24 marks one year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin believed the country’s military would be defeated quickly and Kyiv, the capital, would fall. Instead, Ukraine’s clever, nimble — and motivated — military has fought back Russia’s forces despite being vastly outgunned.

But the war has taken a terrible toll. Thousands of people have died. Cites have been devastated and millions of displaced Ukrainians are now living as refugees in other countries.

Bloomberg journalists Daryna Krasnolutska and Marc Champion in Kyiv, and Rosalind Mathieson in London join this episode to take stock of all that has happened in the past year, and what lies ahead for Ukraine.

At PMQs, Sunak replied to a question about the manifesto promise of 40 New Hospitals with the phrase 40 'large scale developments'. First time I have heard them trying to swerve the manifesto promise with a bait and switch.

'Did I miss anything ?'

Yes - courts confirmed that stripping UK citizenship is legal today, so 1/2 of the CONservatives are on 'the list'.

ZA prepares for stage 8: "Stage eight loadshedding would mean possibly 12 to 14 hours a day with no power and there are fears that this would lead to widespread economic collapse and social upheaval, including public sparking protests or civil disobedience. It would also adversely affect the pumping and treatment of water, which has already been impacted by the rolling power cuts. "

not good

How many times should they provide hundreds of millions in support?

'Let's build a Chrome extension that steals everything'

I have mentioned many times that I use a Chromebook with many extensions for general browsing and untweeked Safari on an iMac for anything personal / money related. The link above shows just how easy it is to write a nefarious extension.

Good story:

Reminded me of this Brian Briggs song

"Funding is not an issue"

But dilution is.

2p or not 2p, that is the question

SS on now - looks shifty

Best to buy a 2-nonenal detector; it will send you an alarm if one of them tries to creep up on you whilst you are resting.

'Korea’s shipments abroad of semiconductors that go into everything from computers to smartphones plunged 43.9% in the first 20 days of this month compared with a year earlier, according to the national customs office. That’s similar to the 44.5% drop for the full month of January.

Considering semiconductor exports fell between 17% and 29% in the last three months of last year — when Korea’s gross domestic product contracted and Samsung Electronic reported a 97% profit drop — this bodes ill for the nation this quarter and may alarm those tracking the world economy.'

That is an alarming statistic

Things take time - they now have their own proof of the presence of REE from all samples and will be undertaking tests to see if leaching is likely to be economic to exploit the deposit. They are not particularly high grades, but high grades are not needed in deposits suitable for leeching. Still all to play for, which is what the RNS outlines [to me at least].
