chomp my root Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 11 hours ago, tamthebam said: I was reading a story yesterday about a Russian who'd gone out a window in India. Earlier this year he'd tweeted his opposition to the war in Ukraine before quickly withdrawing the tweet An Indian police spokesman said "he'd been depressed" and pointed to the empty bottle of vodka in his room Now call me Columbo but I have my suspicions... "Just one more thing, Inspector Patel, what is that wad of roubles sticking out of your pocket .." Is this the story ??? Nothing suspicious here, no sirree. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/russian-lawmaker-pavel-antov-found-dead-in-a-hotel-in-odisha/article66309669.ece To be fair to the Russians, they've been getting away with this stuff for years and The West has largely turned a blind eye. A sanction here, a stern word there.... The West finally growing a spine must have come as a bit of a shock to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 You'll all agree, I'm sure, that I'm the real winner here. Came from nowhere in to the top 20 in December. If there had been a 13th month, who knows. Anyway, always remember. It's just a bit of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
