Hugo really is the boards very own Thermobantic bomb, sucking the air out of pretty much everything.

Some back story about Putin and Abramovich here - how the corruption and bribery works. No doubting these guys are major thieves.

LT42 I’ve just read that thread and it’s thrown by head for a complete spin - but @BlainSA said Abramovich was only Putin’s mate?!

LT42

I’ve no idea who that person is LT. I guess you’ve got to ask why Zelensky asked for Abramovich to get involved in negotiations, why Zelensky asked Biden to not sanction Abramovich specifically and why Abramovich appeared to be poisoned (including losing his sight) during negotiations.

hugopal Smalls will be instantly disappointed to learn that no, one of his heroes did not.

The list of Oxford Brookes alumni will not have many people as famous or infamous.

There was a girl in my sixth form called Alice Brooks who wanted to go to Oxford Brookes. I think she got in.

I think she only decided to go there because of lack of imagination she just chose the university that shared her name. I did point out that she should change the spelling of her name, and she replied ‘Why?’ To be honest, she was a bit dim.

That and Smallman are therefore my impression of Oxford Brookes students/graduates.

BlainSA Zelensky asked for Abramovich to get involved in negotiations

I wasn"t aware of that tbh. Zelensky actually asked him to be dircectly involved? Seems like there"s more to it, my guess would be Abramovich approached them, if he has turned his back on comrade Putin that is but as I said I’m totally ignorant on this one.

Seems I’m mistaken and your guess is right as on trying to link to the article I read the latest news articles report that it was Abramovich who approached Zelensky offering his help.

Homegrove Missed a trick there. Acute Radiation Exposure Syndrome would’ve been a better anacronym.

Anyone reading the stuff on twitter, from an extremely reliable source, that putin is actually zelensky’s father and cut his hand off last night as they attempted 121 peace talks, which ended in a row after zelensky refused to allow Ukraine join up with russia?

For those that hadn’t seen it like me, the Putin, Russia and the west doc series that they are re-running on iplayer is excellent.

Boris: “Sergi, it’s fucking freezing -10”
Sergi: “Get into my trench, Boris, it’s lovely and warm”
Boris: “Why is it glowing, Sergi?”

LT42 I’ve found it, though it was consideraby before the more recent articles from a few days ago saying the reverse.

This was also reported on various sport outlets (Sky, Eurosports etc) as it being Ukraine that contacted Abramovich, but whatever.

Probably to check if he had any special dietary requirements before they finalised the buffet?

No thanks, have figured out twitter so I’m now tapped straight into THE TRUTH

Lol. I am allergic to pullonium

Mad_Cyril The next round of negotiations they all brought their own lunch boxes.

This was Zelensky’s according to Twitter.
