President Putin's video is here.
Read a trip report from North Korea >>here<< - Read a trip report from South Korea, China and Hong Kong >>here<<

Look what the American media makes some people believe:
Putin often threatens to strike US with nuclear weapons.

Just a nudge for the guys here, we all know its International Womens Day on Sunday, right?

My eleven year old daughter has cottoned on to it and blagged out of me a pair of AirPods.  :coffeeread:

Yes, I am aware, but it is not shown on any wall calendar that I have seen (nearly a dozen).  Same as with certain religious holidays.

Its not much of a thing in the UK or the USA I gather.

Across much of mainland Europe, the former Soviet Union and Asia it is a huge thing. Valentines Day pales into insignificance compared to Womens Day.

Ignore Womens Day at your peril, gents. A day to celebrate women and all they represent for us in society. Be they wives, mothers, sisters or whatever.

Be sure to send any women you know or are communicating with enthusiastic congratulations.

Well, the day of the passage of the right for women to vote is not on any calendar as well.   :nod:

Note that Defender of the Homeland Day (Feb. 23) is not observed in this country.  A lady from the FSU sent congratulations to me on that day.  I did not serve in the military.   :biggrin:

That morphed into Mens Day is why.

Thanks for the reminder.
I'll forget and then wonder why she's walking around all grumpy.

And no two hands are quite the same

What do give as a present on ILD ..?

If you are SC she wanted 'permission' to blow some cash on buying Durian ?!   ( rather than new clothes / shoes .. )

It's CRAZY expensive... not Truffle territory .. but that's her treat for this special day ? !

In fact every day should be Woman’s Day!

Just heard this again.
