Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?

Putin has flattered Trump and Trump is so pleased that Putin has been nice to him he'll give him whatever he asks. What Biden did was the same as the west has been doing dor the last 3 years, drip feed arms to Ukraine, just enough to keep them fighting, not enough to win. I think Trump will stop all...

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

And Kiwis constantly doing the Haka at every opportunity. Give a fucking rest. I'd like to see the English rugby team watch the Haka then respond with a Morris dance. It's traditional, innit? What's most annoying is their insistence that the haka is done immediately before kick off, no response all...

My Speed Triple has twin Arrow exhausts which were on the bike when I bought it. They're a factory extra and still have the dB killers in.

Maybe she'll win and fuck up your country even more. Entirely possible, but not sure how much fucking worse things can get. I guess she'll settle for accidentally starting WW3 Edit: Assuming Biden doesn't beat her to it... I feel it’s the other way round. If trump gets in he’ll carve up the Ukraine...

Re: I have a horrible feeling my T4 van's head gasket is toast

I have a 24 plate Trafic for work and it's a gutless piece of shit. It's been off the road since last Thursday due to exhaust fumes finding their way into the cab, it's booked into a Renault dealer on 6th November. If I was in the market for a van I'd be looking at a Mercedes Vito, despite weeksy's ...
