They teach it at my son's kick boxing club, it looks a bit lame

I tend to utilise a combination of capoeira and krav maga to neutralise any opponents. Then acknowledge the audience.

Well, you will hurt your foot if you kick wrongly.

My son has just been at the airport saying goodbye to his Ukrainian friend who is heading back home from Taiwan.
I think she's been learning taekwondo with him (unrelated/before the war) but seeing as that's probably not much use against missiles he is very worried about her.

How about we put an RTTL strike force together and send Putin bag and baggage out of the Ukraine?

I see Noggin and the Trinity lass as highly effective Mata Hari honey traps for high ranking Russian officers.




The rest of you can be something similar, for homosexual high ranking Russian officers.

It's possible someone has mentioned it already but its Ukraine, Not The Ukraine.


“Ukraine is a country,” says William Taylor, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2006 to 2009. “The Ukraine is the way the Russians referred to that part of the country during Soviet times … Now that it is a country, a nation, and a recognized state, it is just Ukraine. And it is incorrect to refer to the Ukraine, even though a lot of people do it.”

In that case, William Taylor is a cunt.

If I say The Ukraine, that’s it settled.

The Gambia.

The Netherlands.

The Bahamas.

The Argentine.

The Democratic Republic of The Fucking Congo.

"The Ukraine" is used either by Russians who want to de-legitimise the country, or old people still stuck in the Cold War :lol:

Pfft. The Israelis keeping assassinating scientists to prevent the Iranians levelling the playing field.
Lol, I laughed out loud at that, but it's actually true.
Imagine the outrage if they kept knocking off our top guys.

That's what I said ages ago about the belief from the western allies that they're on the side of divine righteousness and therefore any action is justified, whilst everyone else is evil.
"While Anthony Eden and Tony Blair are the two most prominent examples of prime ministers whose reputations have been ruined by their interventions in the region, they were not alone in taking significant risks in deploying British forces to the Middle East. There was an unspoken assumption that Britain could help solve its problems, even if only for the reason that British imperialism had created the problems in the first place."

Putin's still stuck in the Cold War mindset. Innit.

There's now been a pro-Russian protest, I expect thats getting more air time in Dubai than the rest combined.


Putin must be getting desperate, after no close contact with anyone he's now meeting crowds. With Omicron rates as high as they are he's going to come up against it at some point, I wonder what vaccinations he's had.
