    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My money would still be on Klitchko. Always thought Vitali was better boxer. Putin in his prime would be like a child to him. He says he's preparing for biggest fight of his life.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think Putin should meet up with Mayor of Kyiv and put his judo skills upto the test. Would save thousands of lives and millions of pounds. Even when Putin was at his absolute best he wouldn't last a round... I reckon it would be over in 20 seconds...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In a way I agree but worry of consequences and retribution. On a lighter note, Putin will soon capitulate. Russia just banned from Euro vision, he didn't expect that did he. Just checked. Ukraine gave up (gave back?) all its nuclear weapons for guarantees from Putin for country's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And in mean time Ukrainians are dying along with Russian soldiers. This isn't like the past Flecc when Russia rolled into Hungary. Ukraine is 10 times the size and Russia nowhere nearly as powerful as in days gone by. Agreed short term victory will undoubtedly go to Russia but this will run and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Two wrongs don't make a right Flecc. I suspect Putin is rather deranged and extremely dangerous. What on earth does he hope to achieve. Nobody can turn clock back. He isn't a Tzar, he can't resurrect a Russian Empire. He, s going to cause WW3. I wonder what Ukraine would be doing were they a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You don't think Putin would carry out his threat? Doesn't seem like a bloke who makes empty threats OG. Yep, he didn't say exactly that yesterday but inference was there.He's justified to invade Ukraine in his own head. He's looking for justification to go further.?? The trouble is if Putin is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It has unified some quite disparate groups. Macron, Vonn Leyen, Biden, Starmer, Johnson, Wallace and essentially all freeworld leaders saying same if not similar things. NATO will be more organised, better funded and probably carry more sway. US are sending troops to Germany. Latvia Estonia and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And punishing them could have exactly opposite effect to that required. Any hardships that are endured will only be used as arguments for Putin to justify any actions he takes, either against Ukraine or the West in general. He has used NATO and Russian supporters (currently already in Ukraine)...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I, ve always found Russians odd to deal with. At first they seem distant, offhand and apparently almost aggressive, even in very passive non confrontational situations. But when things do turn bad, I always found them unbelievably helpful. I think, what we see as aggressive is often just how...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Wind forecasting last 6 months or so has been worst I can ever remember, it's always been exaggerated (especially so since the Michael Fish and Kew Gardens destruction) but recently its been appalling. The miles I, ve driven to sail for wind to then not materialise is more in last year than any...

    They are here, Hawai thinking of banning them tho(from crowded breaks) Some bloke has surfed (foiled) a sea swell 50 miles or so.. Don't think we, ll see foils taking outright speed (in windsurfing) but they certainly go earlier, faster in light winds... But again it's not windsurfing... Really...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No but wetsuits have improved dramatically. Water through flush is hardly noticeable, material is softer, lighter and more thermal and seals actually seal now. It only took them 40 years to make good surface suits.. We used to have to resort to diving suits, which were great for diving...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Think it's called ski sit. Been doing it since college days,it does help.. I do find pedelec helps most though. Long easy rides in low gears with high assistance. My physio explained reasoning.. Apparently the repitive but easy cycling promotes lubrication and off sets swelling. I can tell if...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Got involved in sport more or less as it started. All on big boards then, long wooden booms, fibreglass masts and sails more suited to dinghies. Kit has changed beyond all recognition... Monofilm sails, neutral bouyancy boards built from carbon, S glass and Dyneema, carbon kevlar masts.. Carbon...

    There's always time for both but not always inclination. I, d take windsurfing all day long, which it can be. Other is fleeting moment of enjoyment, and as Oscar Wild said, position ridiculous and expense intolerable. Don't think he was talking about Windsurfing. Just for info. I, ve tried...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I did sail there once many years ago but its not a regular windsurf spot for me. Yep, kite boarding is almost a flying sport. Tried it... Not for me.. Too stuck in my ways. Staying on the water is more of an objective for me these days. Windsurfing and kitesurfing just feel so different...

    Yep, it's really blown today. That's not me jumping, my claim to fame is being eldest out sailing which isn't so photogenic. Was superb out there though, managed 90 minutes or so..!!!(It's Rhosneigr about 11 this morning) Better than sat on settee moaning about Brexit, Putin, Covid, Johnson...
