Analysis Random NORTH thoughts not worthy of a thread

And then you have the added issue that the governing party of Poland are like the eastern European equivalent of the most right wing contingent of the US Republican party except that they hate nearly all their neighbours so god knows how NATO will calm them down.

Old mate in that picture doesn't have much to trouble NATO, the problem is Russia.

Its a beautiful country filled with awesome people, many of whom tragically believe that they had to no other choice than to vote for a conman authoritarian dude who wants to remake the Soviet Union, and just happens to fancy assassinating journalists and his political opponents in his spare time.

I agree, I love my country but hate the political side.

I only spent a month there about 15 years ago. It was both some of the happiest and more bittersweet memories I have. Would love to go back one day.

A mate of mine just found this in a drawer whilst doing some cleaning. He’s a Collingwood supporter so he gave it to me. Noice

 

[Val Keating]

Mint condition too. Said he put it in the drawer and forgot about it.

Got a giggle out of this,

Goldy should be much higher, second place imo. Apart from that I pretty much agree.
