I can only take so much of these super extreme achiever influencer types. I recognise their excellence but they tend to be a bit too much for me. Edgley seems less so. But you’re bang on, a ‘growth mentality’ is so fundamental and transferrable. There’s factors in life which you cannot control and factors you can, people with a growth mentality focus on the ones they can and consequently make a difference to their situation. Victims focus on the ones they can’t. Training should be as much about self discovery as tangible aesthetic/performance achievements. There’s huge value in that

Curious why you say that? I’m not up to speed with all this but a bit of balance in Europe seems a good thing.

I mean I’m not likely to turn down anyone on nationality tbh But yeah, the whole Mediterranean vibe or just the immaculately presented metropolitan Italian sorts do it for me. Dark hair tan skin immaculately turned out. To be fair there’s a lot of that in London too.

Stupid language! ??

I actually got half into a tv drama series about him. Can’t remember now if I finished it or not but it was alright.

Nope not got to that lesson yet

My first lesson Raggazo and Raggaza f****d me up for a while until I linked the o with the o in boy. Reggaza then being girl by default.

Frankly learning Italian will more likely lead me to getting a job with the British/Italian company Leonardo developing attack helicopters than it will to pulling an Italian bird…

And surely you mean una donna

You’re probably right. Italian women are the worlds finest

Just downloaded duo lingo app. It’s EXACTLY what I wanted. Problem…. I can’t roll my f***ing Rs!

Cheers. Thing is I know if it requires me to concentrate for half an hour every night or whatever I just won’t do it. It needs to be quick and easy. App based that rather than flicking through insta or whatever I can just flick on and rattle through a few structured exercises until I’m bored. I want to spend a bit of time in Italy but I hate being in foreign speaking countries. I find it really off putting.
-
Absolute gold!
-
Never had the temperament for it but I’m now considering it. What useful tools are available these days? Anyone used apps that you can just flick on for five minutes a few times a day? Any more effort than that realistically I just won’t stick. I’m interested in learning the basics of Italian. Literally enough to get by.

Also, here’s something not many are talking about. Russia can’t take Ukraine, that much is clear. Ukraine has a nuclear power industry and so nuclear expertise… What would you do to deter further aggression after the dust settles?
-
Not really no.
-
Imo no. He’s so far failed to bring either the whole of Ukraine or the border region under Russian control. The north eastern border with Russia remains Ukrainian. So far he’s got the separatist regions and a land bridge to Crimea. He may have deterred Ukraine from becoming part of nato, may not, it’s not clear yet. What is clear is that Ukraine is now an enemy of Russia, capable of winning, and supported by the West. Even if they’re not NATO they’ll be a NATO trained and armed ally, motivated, experienced and confident in facing Russia. His actions have also led to the Nordic buffer stat

Difficult to know what to say really. It’s a huge victory for Ukraine. But it’s a huge loss for Russia too and I bet there are navy men all over the world that had a shiver down their spine hearing of it. It’s a messy business sinking enemy warships. Only a handful of navy’s in the world have experience of it from one aspect or the other. And I can only think of two that have experience in successfully defending against anti ship missile attacks in combat.
-
That’s a good summary. I obviously think Russia has f****d up in many ways but Id argue that they now occupy the separatist regions and secured Crimea via a land bridge. Which was a bare minimum strategic aim. I think it’s quite likely that Ukraine will not join NATO now either? Looking for security guarantors from other European states in any peace deal. I’d argue that’s hardly a Russian victory though, Ukraine will see more every day type support from NATO members now than it would’ve if Russia just let it join. Putin didn’t want NATO cruise missiles in Ukraine, well now NATO will just

Must be the water, he lives up the road.

Learnt the hard way. Still am.

There’s lots of little grudges and shit on this site, I try to stay out of them mate. If something smells a bit pointless then I try to f**k off. I’ve got my interests, you’ve got yours etc etc. I hope you both have a good bank holiday.

Now known as Francieski doctrine.

Francie de-escalate, DE-ESCALATE! You’re going nuclear mate!

No idea tbh. I’m more interested in military capabilities.
