No I didn’t miss out on your joke, I’m ashamed of my poor response!
I did however make sure the doctors hands weren’t on my shoulders during the examination.

Ram-a-lama fa fa fa reacted to Ewe Ram in Fit refs, we always get fit refs.....
I’m female and I’ve got a sense of humour about these things. We’re not allowed to have a bit of banter?
I’m personally not a fan of shoe horning women into roles just because it’s expected not to discriminate. But she did well and deserved to be there. Can’t say the same for one or two linos I’ve seen, but I’ll leave that.
I’m really not keen on women commentators either, or interviewers. The good ones are very few and too many aren’t there on merit. (I get that this is subjective and just my opinion).
Don’t give anyone a job just to tick boxes, and I’m sticking to that.

Ram-a-lama fa fa fa reacted to Ramarena in The Ukraine War
How this will end will most likely be one of two ways,
- Russia loses combat ability due to its heavy loses/can’t afford to keep ploughing huge sums of money into fighting in Ukraine, due to its unraveling economy.
- Ukraine pushes Russia back to the border and then sets up a heavily militarised border zone to stop future invasion and joins NATO and the EU.
When will any of this happen? Tough to say really. The sooner the better!
At present Russia is trying to get an offensive going, but have lost so many troops/equipment, with only Soledar and some small land gains to really show for it.
It’s estimated the Wagner group have lost 45,000 men (injured or dead) trying to take Soledar and Bakhmut, they only took Soledar, which is a small town that doesn’t have huge strategic value.
Thats the scale of the loses, it’s horrific, so many wasted lives for so little. I read a report yesterday that US intelligence believes that the Wagner group is now close to being operationally ineffective and thus is now being sidelined by Putin as his army returns to taking the brunt of it.
This leads us to Ukraines planned spring offensive. Ukraine is holding large numbers of troops back from defensive duties, to prepare for this offensive. Where they will target is being kept very quiet, as you’d expect, so it’s hard to speculate on its future success.
But what we do know is that Russia has burned through huge amounts of men, equipment and money. If any of the remaining Russian troops and their equipment fail, then Ukraine could make significant gains as the spring/summer progresses. Ukrainians are talking about being at Crimea by August/September, that’s hugely optimistic, but if it were the case then the war would be much closer to being over!
As for any chance of peace, well that’s sadly for the birds, even if the war officially ends.
Putin’s first requirement for any peace talks is for all Russias “gains” during this invasion must recognised internationally as being Russian. He also wants Ukraine to be “de militarised”, meaning they won’t be able to defend themselves the next time he decides to invade. How can Ukraine enter peace talks and trust a proven genocidal madman?
They can’t, unless they want to lose their country and Russia refuses to go home and save the lives of their troops. So here we are.

Thanks to @Diego, I've kept your lucky formatting for the matchday thread titles.
No need to panic, lots of home games and a nice away day vs Barnsley to come this month.
Relax people, I've got this.

Perfect for the Leeds job, could not get a more dislikable club and manager combination. Proper dream team.

Ram-a-lama fa fa fa reacted to FindernRam in The missing dog walker
A friend of ours went missing in September. Despite multiple searches of the river she was not found. 6 weeks later she was found under a boat. Yesterday it was reported a man up north had gone missing some weeks ago. He was just found in the nearby river, having apparently been there all the time.
I hope she is safe and well but often the simplest explanation is the likeliest..
