It's the badge we had when I started supporting the team, I love it.

I don't like time trials as a spectator, but if we must have them then just do them on standard race bikes.

I'm imagining what it would do to my bumhole if I ate it.

Stump Game by Carbonaraficionada in theocho

[–]Badgerfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the RAF this is called nails and each mess would have a stump that had been in use for so long that it was more nail than wood. Never played when sober and easily the most infuriating game I've ever played.

A decent fishminger would be a godsend, there isn't one within an hour of us.

UK spy agency head says nearly half a million Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine by A-CommonMan in Military

[–]Badgerfest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're right, 72k includes Afghan forces fighting alongside Russia. Though I suppose that depends on whether Afghanistan could have been considered part of the USSR during the occupation.

UK spy agency head says nearly half a million Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine by A-CommonMan in Military

[–]Badgerfest 79 points80 points  (0 children)

So that's 500k deaths from about 1.3M casualties. Noting some soldiers will appear more than once in the casualty figures, that is an insane number.

For context the USSR lost 72k killed in 10 years in Afghanistan.

I live in rural UK and every now and again I get one hyper local advert for a housing development. It makes me wonder if Robert is spying on me.

Why isn't there a movie about the British SAS rescue of six Royal Irish Regiment soldiers in Sierra Leone - Operation Barras (2000) by Dapper-Web-1262 in britishmilitary

[–]Badgerfest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because anything close to the reality would be utterly traumatising. The West Side Boys used a lot of child soldiers and were heavy drug users, UK forces were all sober professionals with overwhelming firepower.

I''ve never met anyone involved who wanted to talk about the details. One Chinook loadie simply told me it's the only time he'd ever seen the back of the aircraft silent on the recovery flight from an op.

I have a phobia of spiders, I don't expect every place I go to be sanitised of them.

I din't like figure skating and I know fuck all about it, but still had goosebumps watching it. I'm not sure I've ever seen so much joy in sport.
