What's in it for the pig?

Russia has always been xenophobic - why would they stop now?

'But if I could, I would recommend that the government gave watches and Fitbit to everyone.' That would be preferable to handing it out here there and everywhere.

I'm not knocking you - you understand the process and know all to well that it affects different people in different ways. As I say, educating people is the key. Stop all the fast food ads on TV etc. Get people eating more healthily and pushing supermarkets to do the same. They won't do it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Some of us just need more pushing than others ;-)

I don't think should be freely available because (as a lifelong porker that knows you need to change your lifestyle and has aways struggled), people are not changing. They are branded as miracle cures. Well, I've got news for you pal, there is NO CURE!

Women at work are using them and telling me they can still eat all they want!

People need to be supported and educated. Sadly that's not going to happen.

300m?

Holy cack that's tall for a statue.

But I thought Spain were moving away from the bullfighting and castanets stereotype?

'I switched to Qobuz and I like it much more than I liked Spotify.' The sound quality was the best of the lot but like I say, the choice just wasn't there.

And I never had a problem with iCloud. I had a mac.com email address from when they were first avail. I hadn't use anything Mac since 2014 and when I picked up a used iPhone SE, everything was there when I logged in. iCloud is now avail online and all my old docs and pictures were there. All my iTunes music.

Horses for course I suppose - Never thought Tim Cook would bend the knee though :-(

I know why you're getting downvoted.

But sorry people, Spotify is streets ahead of the others (IMO) as there is a far better choice of music. For me anyway, YMMV but I've given up with the others.

Same with video streaming - you cannot deny that the quality (technical and production, if not content) of Apple TV surpasses the others. I gave up with Foundation and Silo (plots) but the quality was superb. For All Mankind is probably the best thing ever on TV after The Expanse.

iCloud is just so polished and seamless. I gave up with Proton Drive as it was just too clunky and flaky. And that's after being a paid up Protoneer since almost day one. I still use Protonmail, Pass and VPN. Am just on a lower paid tier than I was before. Plus Vivaldi uses Proton for VPN.

I'm all for buying European where possible, (German bier, French and Italian wine, CachyOS or Mint) but am not going to wear a hair shirt and accept second or third rate performance because the internet says 'America Bad!'

Until he changes his mind next week.

I do now and it can piss right off.

About time too. As a former artillery man, we never had enough rounds for training. Or stockpiled in case we were to use them in anger.

I’m not surprised. Some bloke turns up with a car and some paper bags with your shopping. Freezer stuff and all. Bread all squashed.

We tried it as it was free with Prime.

Didn’t try it twice.

He looks like he's squeezing one out.
