    Brazil has already said it aligning its currency with western currencies. Russia is a basket case who had a GDP less than Italy BEFORE it invaded Ukraine. India has a population explosion it’s struggling to feed its people. China would go back to the dark ages if it didn’t trade with the west. Saudi Arabia was invited to join BRICS and went to their last meeting and said “ no thanks”. BRICS is a currency transfer system between its members, you may want it to be something else, but it isn’t, and once the Russia/Ukraine war ends and Russia is accepted back into the SWIF

    My take on it is that it’s all about world wide electronic currency transfers. SWIFT is the recognised method of countries making electronic transfers, When Russia invaded Ukraine , one of the sanctions applied to them was to remove them from the SWIFT system. This made it harder for Russia to buy and sell on the world market. BRICS, ( Brazil, Russia, India , China), has existed as a trading block since 2009 and since Russia was banned from SWIFT, they decided to set up an electronic money transfer system of their own. All the other members of BRICS, apart from Russia are still me

    There’s a good one in Stanley, next to the old greyhound stadium, my pals come up from Yorkshire to shop there but I find it cheaper and easier to get “exotics” like Japanese onions and Russian garlic on line . Cheers.

    I got Japanese winter onion sets from Amazon. £4:25 for 50 but there was actually more than 70 in each of the three packs I bought. Now is the perfect time to get them planted . Also a good time to get the garlic planted . Cheers.

    I’ve got a 240 Blitz and 12v 12ah batteries for longer nights on certain quarry, but if it’s just for an hour or two local on rabbits, this led lamp with a lithium battery in the handle does the job fine; Cheers.

    Really ? Someone asked if I was a mod, I said I wasn’t and to contact Walshie or IanB. Not sure if that’s being “had” , I thought it was just a normal reaction. Cheers.

    I’ve used both white and brown malt vinegar but prefer the white for the simple reason the onions stay white. They taste the same if white or brown is used. I just use normal supermarket vinegar not the pickling vinegar, I use my own blend of spices. I guess that Sarsons pickling vinegar would work well but will be more expensive than ordinary malt vinegar. Cheers.

    My last post was about the corruption in politics; this one is about the stupidity of politicians. Theres a leadership contest in progress for the Conservatives and it was whittled down to three, Cleverly, Jenrick and Badenoch. Cleverly was so far in front that the bookies stopped taking bets, so he thought he could rig the vote by getting some of his supporters to “lend” their votes to the challenger he feared least and getting rid of the one he feared most. But his chicanery backfired spectacularly when too many “leant” their votes and he came third and HE was eliminated !

    Let’s have a look at only one situation where this country is so screwed up ; Sue Grey was the second highest Civil servant in the land. Supposedly impartial and fair, so she was asked to compile a report on “partygate”, which ultimately led to the downfall of a Conservative Prime Minister, Boris Johnston. It then came out that before compiling the report, she had been in negotiations to become the Leader of the Labour Parties Chief of Staff ! She got the job and demanded a salary of £170,000 . This is more than the now Prime Minister, Starmer, gets but he caved in and gave her

    I just pickle the smaller onions of whatever type I’ve planted. I’m guessing you can pickle any type. Yes , equal parts warm water and white malt vinegar, bit of salt, you can use brown malt vinegar if you want. I make up my own spice mix; mustard seed, coriander seed, black pepper corn and a couple of bay leaves but you can buy ready mixed pickling spices. A tv chef said never use dried bay leaf for any cooking as it loses all flavour if not fresh, so I bought a small bay plant and now a year later it’s a small bush and I pick the leaves the day I use them. I planted my j

    I know you were just after a bite from Ray, mate, but I’ve seen a few different types on my trips down under, and they do the jobs they are asked to do very well; Whippets; Staghounds; Waiting for a slip with a staghound and a ‘roo hound; ’Roo hound with a dash of whippet. As good a fox dog as I’ve seen, but sadly killed when it made the step up to wild boar Horses for courses mate….. Cheers.

    Greb casts a line and the same people take the bait every time ! I’ve had some very decent conversations with him about all sorts. Never had a problem with him. The secret is not to bite, if the conversation gets out of hand, just don’t reply. Cheers.

    I had to laugh at the utter naivety of those lads who turned up at the World Cup in Qatar dressed as Crusaders and then wondered what the fuss was about ! LOL ! Cheers.

    They’ve hated us since the Sykes Picot Agreement dividing the Middle East up between the UK and France. They’ve hated us for going back on the Balfour Declaration promising the Palestinian homelands wouldn’t be given over to the Jews. They’ve hated us since we ended the British Mandate of Palestine and allowed it to become the Israeli State. They’ve hated us for a long time but didn’t have the means or wherewithal to bring that hatred to our shores . Now they have…… Cheers.
