Leading the Giro, Tyler Hamilton broke his collar bone with a few flat stages left, told no one, finished the race as winner and went to the dentist to get the teeth fixed that he had ground down to the nerves such was his agony in the final days.

Hi, dunno if you're interested but I read a book recently "I was a Russian Oligarch" that gave an interesting sideways look at potato production/privatisation in the 90's. I found it gave great background on your agri threads.

There was a great reddit interaction years ago when some American claimed a part of London was a no go zone at night due to Sharia law and a white resident answerd the American live while recording their walk around the area with a can of beer chatting to all he met. Unfortunately I can't find it.

Given the cash that Russia invests in mini states to gain soft power/votes in FIFA, the IOC etc that's more than a symbolic gesture. Fair play to Micronesia.

Seems extraordinarily risky to me. One bit of horse meat entering the EU food chain via these processed (it's the food being processed and from a "trusted trader" that makes it eligible for green lane rather than red lane from NI to RoI) meat dishes and GB food exports could be in dire trouble.

Some interesting comments here about "not for eu" green lane goods finding their way into RoI from NI.

TLDR ... the big retailers, Tesco in particular, are saving money bringing these goods in as the political consequences of halting them are too high.

And a little dash of Eco. It is quite the sight to see the 1930's speed running in a matter of months across one's computer screen.

I found it rather telling that amoungst the usual people who bribed him he also pardoned a penniless sheriff who formed his own militia. Fascinating times to see such a speed run to authoritarianiam in months rather than years.

Wee anecdote. A friend worked in a senior position in a UK business. Her work made her do GCSEs in English (she's a native speaker from Ireland) and maths (she's a post-grad in comp-sci) due to tory rule changes re foreign qualifications. She now works, and pays her top rate of tax, back in Ireland.
