We'll never know the truth and I don't want to fall out with you or anyone else, or end up spending hours arguing about this, but I must add that it wasn't just Hillary who came to that conclusion. The CIA did too.
"US intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia interfered in last month’s presidential election to boost Donald Trump’s bid for the White House, according to reports.
A secret CIA assessment found that Russian operatives covertly interfered in the election campaign in an attempt to ensure the Republican candidate’s victory, the Washington Post reported, citing officials briefed on the matter.
A separate report in the New York Times said intelligence officials had a “high confidence” that Russia was involved in hacking related to the election".
I doubt we'll ever know the truth but the hacking of Hillary Clinton's e-mails arguably derailed her campaign for election. The White House said Putin was involved in the cyber-attacks.
She had irritated Putin by stating that the Rusiian election was rigged.
From the BBC article below:
"The CIA says Russia's motivation was to sway the election in favour of Republican President-elect Donald Trump, but no evidence has been made public".
"Seemingly Trump doesn’t want to fund the Ukraine to the same extent that Biden did".
I think the problem is that in politics, and in business too, a person who carries on doing what their predecessor did rarely gets any credit for doing so, even if it's still the right thing to do.
Trump only cares about himself, which compounds the problem.
To be honest - and I have zero in the know information - I don't think that the owners have any interest in moving us to a new home.
We're not Ruben's main business priority and any such project anywhere near Loftus Road would be an extremely complicated and lengthy undertaking. I just can't see it.
Alternatively, in the world of reverse psychology and knowing what a propensity I have to get things all wrong, there will probably be spades in the ground at 9.01am tomorrow
I've been driving in France for well over 30 years and it has mostly been fine. The crazy "priorite a droite" nonsense, whereby vehicles on your right have priority, even if they are on a tiny side road, seems to have become far less prevalent, thankfully.
Two additional tips: - Don't push your luck when you're getting low on fuel. There are some areas where petrol stations are very few and far between. We struggled to find any in central Brittany and there are none in the whole of the Castagniccia region of Corsica. Also, they may not be open late or at weekends.
You might already know of Zombi, I would describe their music as hard-edged progressive electronic *but* although there are a lot of synths in there, there are only two musicians, a proper drummer, and a bassist who also handles most of the keyboards and the electric guitars.
As a result, the drumming and bass playing are very much to the fore and propel the music forward.
Adrienne Davies' drumming - and of course, Dylan's guitar playing - is so precise and expressive in this. They really understand the power of the space between the notes.
"Before his debut, Exeter asked the Football League if they could just put "Troy" on the back of his shirt but were told the entire surname had to be there, without exception".
Great post. Alternatively, damp tissue paper works well, I've used that method to protect my ears successfully at quite a few gigs, including an indoor Iron Maiden one.
On the subject of hearing, years ago, my mate told me that his friend was worried that he had permanently damaged his. His teenage son, I learned, had wanted to go to see his favourite band, but his dad wasn't having that because he was too young.
So, they went together.
Now he's got hearing problems, my mate explained.
Me: "Which band was it?"
My mate: Some lot called Slipknot.
Me: "Oh right" .
The moral of the story: Always do your research first.
By the way, the recent film about a heavy metal drummer who loses his hearing, "The sound of metal," is amazing. You can access it via the iPlayer.
