I do not know how close this report is to the truth. We are certainly getting garbage on casulties and odd reports of russian tanks been blown up. None of that informs on how the infantry is doing and they are all getting better.The fact is that both sides started off rather backward. The big picture that i see is that the russians marched in to geographic set points and dug in allowing them to then train up their forces. This way all damage is on Ukranian soil and the Uranian army must assault dug in positions. The casulty story told here is totally reasonble in the circumstances.If Russia can now man up properly, they can launch as full on...

Monday 9th January 2023 Another day, another week, another go...I've had a lovely lazy weekend, I really enjoy being a lazy bird! Having said that, it started really busy, our Saturday morning members filled the room and we had a giggle and all left ready to survive the week ahead.

Our meals have been as healthy as I can make them with what I have in the freezer! I'm skint after Christmas as most people are in January, but on a positive there, it's stopped us eating out...
This talk was delivered at the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival. One of the longest biographies of recent years, the ill-fated Philip Roth by Blake Bailey, runs to 800 pages. It takes a total of 31 hours and 46 minutes to listen to on audiobook. Roth was 85 when he died, so his real life ran to a total of 750,000 hours or so. Even the longest biography is but a tiny fraction of the life it is intended to chronicle. Robert Caro’s biography of President Johnson is so vast that it makes Bailey’s Roth look like a haiku. Caro has been working on his biography of LBJ since the mid-1970s. Each volume is roughly 800,000 words; he published volume...
