Random NON FOOTY thoughts not worthy of a thread: Edition II

Finland in 1940.

Russia was caught out after being double crossed, but they had the last laugh over Ze Germans.

Sorry I was thinking of Poland

I think you’re understating Russia’s military a tad. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to anything because the world would never be the same. I know Putin is smart enough to know that, I just hope Trump is.

Also when have Russia taken a pummeling from anyone?

What they lack in army they make up in crazy

Their nukes are a perfect example of that. They couldn’t get pinpoint accuracy so they just made them bigger to compensate.

What Russia thinks it has in military power, the US has had for a decade or more. Give it the $$$ and it will proceed further in front.

Don't buy into the russian propaganda machine via sputnik and RT.

Was referring to the soviet-afghan war.

The Soviets lost in Afghanistan because most of the soldiers they sent there were Tajics and Uzbecs. Those guys found they were fighting against their own people even relatives so they weren't very motivated.

No foreign power would win a war in the Middle East unless they want to enforce totalitarian rule.

I've decided that paint doesn't actually take 2 hours to dry between coats.

It just takes you that damn long to clean your ******* rollers properly!!!

You’re better off wrapping them in glad wrap and throwing them away after the second coat.

Or wet the rollers before you use them. Just make sure you rinse off the excess water by rolling them down a fence or wall. Makes cleaning them heaps easier. Same goes with brushes

Wrapped in plastic bags and put in the fridge- beer fridge as I learnt the hard way

They'll last for a fair while, not years as I was also informed by her in charge of pointing out my errors

Assume it isn't oil paint?

Haha. Tough gig. Yeah, I assumed it wasn’t oil paint because JD even bothered cleaning the roller cover at all.

Yeah. Water-based. Working with minimal resources. Replaced the entire bathroom ceiling - first time plastering for me and then repainted the entire bathroom. One day to replace it the plaster (the day after the Melbourne match), and then plastering, sanding, patching etc etc and painting all this weekend just been.

The soviets lost in Afghanistan because its an impossible place for a conventional army to win a war.
