New thread.
so Moscow bombings eh? Possibly the work of Chechen rebels. 2 attacks, at least 30 dead about 70 injured.
Now have a look at this video news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8592600.stm
Terrorism will never work in Russia, a bomb just went off, and they all look slightly bored.

Is a tad different to the yanks screaming "WHYYYYYYYYYYYY WHYYYYYYYYYYYY"

Russians are fucking hardnuts, it's true.
Any nation that considers 'drinking vodka until you die' to be a competitive sport is not going to be be bothered by a few bombs.

During world war two apparently Russian soldiers would mock any of their men who screamed when shot.

One of the pubs I frequent has a Russian bouncer (Ukrainian)
He looks like he's ex-Speznatz. One of the locals insists on calling him Sir Gay which leads to much violence and hilarity. He's a good bloke actually.

are you sure his name isn't Sergei?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 11:19, Reply)

His name IS Sergei.
But Jeff always pronounces it with a gap in it and a definite insulting inflection. Much fun ensues.

I see

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 11:23, Reply)

The actual pronunciation of his name is Sergy.
He call's Jeff Chuff. All good-natured really. Even the choking out.

I'd be suspicious of calling a Ukrainian a Russian.
50% would be OK with it; the others'd rip off your head...
( Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 13:55, Reply)

Yup.
that's something else frequently used to wind him up.
He really is quite a chilled dude when I think about it.

Yep
watched a documentary the other year on what they will drink instead of Vodka too, like industrial grade meths

Sniffing shoe polish heated over a candle FTW.
And apparently drinking the alcohol from torpedo guidance systems.

My mate had a burst appendix,
the chap in the next bed was a Polish vagrant who drank all the hand cleaning stuff and fell out of bed, ripping all of his tubes out.

What a hero.

Hardcore indeed.
You can only admire such dedication.

I have the raging horn and I'm sworn off drinking at home for a while : (

I don't know why you're pursuing that not drinking thing

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 13:13, Reply)

Because I want to lose a bit more weight.

( girlinthehole, Mon 29 Mar 2010, 13:14, Reply)

I've given up on losing weight
I'm enjoying bacon toasties too much.
If I bust any further out of my comfy jeans I'll get on the Quorn again.

I will be drinking when I go out socializing.
Just not a whole bottle of wine at home on my own.

I will be a red hot mantrap. Just you see.

A bottle of wine at home is like a big hug

Add cochineal and a touch of wine vinegar to a bottle of Evian.
Pretend it's a really crap red but drink it anyway cos you've paid a whole £3.99 for it.

Russians have generations of underwhelmedness in preparation.
I had a friend who was on a year out in Moscow during the 1994 coup - the one with Yeltsin having the army shell the parliament building. She'd received a frantic phonecall from her mother in the UK asking if everything was OK, and was she safe.

She actually hadn't even noticed. Apparently the locals' response had been something along the lines of, "Oh, there're tanks on the streets. That's nice..."
