Be less afraid of getting things wrong than missing the chance to engage. Failing is life. No one so step-perfect to judge you. Behind every successful outcome is a weeping heap of mess. Stay curious. Doing stuff renders the demons toothless. Up and at it my beauties :-). Xxx

I agree. For the sake of Europe’s security, Russia has to lose this war. That’s means Europe investing everything required for Ukrainian victory.
Yes, this probably is the last big U.S. 🇺🇦 package. How long it will last is not entirely clear but what comes after is even less clear. That’s why we need to finally agree on confiscating RU assets and talking about common European debt to finance long-term 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 aid.
JUST IN: The US House Of Representatives approves $95 billion military aid packages for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
It may take more than the weekend to complete this - to date I've identified over 30 Intelligence missions done for the DIS by OBERON class Boats in the 1980s alone from Falklands to Med to Baltic to GIUK gap...
A quiet weekend task is browsing the publicly available National Archives files, and attributing known Cold War intelligence collection operations conducted by Royal Navy submarines to each boat, such as HMS UNICORN (Op RELIEVE 1994) So many ops to attribute!
I suspect the Government doesn't want to find out, hence the option of a special administration regime.

A Kent legend. Aged 25 he became the 3rd youngest player to take 1000 first-class wickets. He took 100 wickets in a season for Kent in 10 different seasons. It was said England teams would "carry Underwood like an umbrella, in case of rain". The best fast-spinner of them all. RIP
Kent Cricket is in mourning following the death of one of the icons of the Club, Derek Underwood, at the age of 78.
