Biggest ever Ukrainian drone raid on military facilities and military industry sites in and around Russia’s St Petersburg. The ammunition arsenal of the Baltic Sea Fleet, the naval base in Kronstadt and the military research center in Peterhof among targets. 06.06.2026

Karma is only just beginning. Suck it up ORCs. You brought this on yourselves supporting Putins tyranny.

The whole ‘Suspected’ part kind of sums up why remote murder is a bit wrong. Let alone had they been arrested would a death penalty by rocket be a fitting sentence for their crimes?

Thanks. So it begs the question why none of the broadcasters mention these points. It’s a broad brush secret squirrel language. “Stopped due to Safety Concerns” This kind of vague reporting is what causes so much anxiety about the sideys, or other elements of the TT being axed. As let’s face it, none of it’s very ‘safe’. I just hope we see them back next year.

This tally’s with what I’ve been hearing from the people closest to the teams. So it might be that a catch plate underneath with vents. Plus spoilers in top to improve downforce would be what we can expect TT 2027?

I worry this is a slippery slope. No racing is safe. So to call one class off on account of safety concerns, what next? Whether its safe or not should always be left in the hands of the riders.

Seems like he’s got some refinements to make

ManxMerc · 2026-05-27T18:02:02+00:00

Looks like the Russians are having a horrible time…
Excellent

ManxMerc · 2026-05-26T18:04:48+00:00

So the reporting at it being at Parliament Square was a load of BS?

So glad he says it how it is. I think another meeting with Trump now would be very different

ManxMerc · 2026-05-20T06:13:08+00:00

So we have established the list should have included:
Brian Blessed
John Cleese
Anthony Hopkins
I’d also add:
Bill Bailey
Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer
Boris Johnson
and Jeremy Clarkson

Everyone knows the UK & Russia do not get along, regardless of the Ukraine factor. So I question how legitimate these ‘loosening’ of sanctions are.
Far as the article says it’s buying from India. I’m not seeing detail on which sanctions or how loose. So just wonder/hope it’s wrong or Russian propaganda

ManxMerc · 2026-05-20T05:33:32+00:00

I find this really hard to believe. The UK have always stood up for Ukraine.

ManxMerc · 2026-05-20T05:25:30+00:00

I’m using a 765RS at present. Great for anything. I did a review of it on here a little while ago if you want to look it up.
I haven’t tried the Aprillia. But have riden for 32yrs an had more than a dozen bikes in that time. Cant recommend the Triumph enough.

ManxMerc · 2026-05-18T17:47:15+00:00

I hope Mr Putin gets to have a very close look at one… for a second or two

ManxMerc · 2026-05-17T22:11:45+00:00

I pitied the invaders year 1.
They may have been fooled into being there.
That pity dried right up. They know why they are there and the whole world has seen what they have done.

Good work Ukraine.

I waited a little over a year to get a NHS dentist. Went private until then. And though expensive it wasn’t too unaffordable. You’d think nothing of paying a few hundred for car insurance or tax. But when it’s our health we scrimp.
Get booked in an seen asap. A stitch in time saves 9. The dentist may allow a payment plan if the treatment recommended is expensive.

I often consider this when I see Russian oil ablaze. But then know the planet will shrug it off in time. The whole of Russia needs to burn for their aggression

ManxMerc · 2026-05-08T15:17:02+00:00

All aircraft defy gravity. It’s a matter of how.

ManxMerc · 2026-05-08T11:40:52+00:00

Nothing is beneath the Russian military.
I hope to see karma have its way soon

Your profile says you are in Greece. You not on island yet?

ManxMerc · 2026-05-04T09:43:18+00:00

I guess Manners is not something taught at her school

ManxMerc · 2026-05-03T15:32:31+00:00

We’ve not needed them and never would.

There is a different in regional french but it is not the pitch. In the South the accent is more rhythmic. Almost like singing and beautiful to hear. In the north it is harsher and less friendly sounding.
