evi will love this: "Russian embassy in Helsinki, Finland got hit with a Swedish chemical weapon today. Surströmming (fermented herrings) deployed!"

When I was at high school my Doctor used to allow me to request / self prescribe Ritalin

Not so easy to ask your Doctor for stimulants these days.

[Daily Fail]: Putin's chief of staff Valery Gerasimov is 'wounded by shrapnel after being sent to Ukraine by Russian president to secure victory', reports claim - as ANOTHER mystery explosion rocks Russian city

A better but more complicated solution is:

The extension is my first line of defence against unwelcoming websites.

If they are running out of weapons [they are] then they are left with Nukes; if they even use a small one people will be all over them to stop fighting and for peace at nearly any price. Does the West then give in? It teaches a terrible lesson to anybody else with a Nuke or someone who wants to get one.

One of the problems the Ruskies have is sourcing the microchips they need to make smart bombs... It would not surprise me if they resort to barrel bombs where they have effective control of the airspace.

The subject line that just keeps giving: "Expats ‘Face Spain Driving Ban After Failure to Reach Post-Brexit Licence Deal’"

'The rule states that sunglasses cannot be too dark as they could impair the driver’s vision and that a sun visor should be used instead.'

Personally, I think it is my right to drive impaired by sunglasses, alcohol and drugs. If I was a Tory, I would also claim a right to watch porn on my mobile phone at the same time.

Anybody who drives impaired should have their licence removed and their vehicle impounded. There is no right to look cool at the expense of others health and safety.

'Parish says an initial incident was accidental while looking at tractors'

Some people have strange desires ... but coming upon porn when searching for tractors?

A new £2 billion free money for heavy users; battery manufacturers now qualify.

https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2022/04/uk-to-subsidise-electricity-costs-for-high-energy-firms/

Do we even have a listed battery company?

Not a good advert for batteries - I think some new builds with charging points around and under the blocks are (potentially) dangerous:

I always think it is a bit dodgy when they pledge to get to the 'bottom' of the problem or 'on top' of it. To make it worse the problem often involves young men...

Autonomous delivery system being developed in Switzerland; interesting:

But they have a much smaller land footprint compared to the UK
