‘Sigh’. I see nothing in the comments on this thread so far that compare with a clever propaganda/political cartoon which might as you say lift the spirit in a time of war. And certainly nothing I have found humorous . But maybe that’s just me, I find it all terribly sad. With respect to the wonderfully funny “Germans” sketch in Fawlty Towers, the joke is actually in the misdirected actions, verbal and physical, of Basil himself, and a poke at the anti- German attitudes still held by many thirty years after the cessation of actual hostilities . Not really applicable to the current situation. Anyhow, I don’t feel a need to joke about this situation. Obviously it is up to others to act as they wish. Jerry

I think this topic should be closed. I think its inappropriate. People are dying, its no joke.

I agree. Maybe attempts at domestic political point-scoring and ‘humour’ were tolerable when the topic was commenced, but over the last ten days it just seems in poor taste. Do we have no empathy? Jerry

Lot of 2 halfgroats at todays DNW sale which I set an alarm to bid on but missed the lot (been on nights). What a lovely little coin, and an uncommon PM too, I wanted it SO much. The other in the lot (PM 2) was worth £40 on eBay, so an absolute steal at £75 hammer for the two!

Had a game of Ticket to Ride tonight with a twist. In the spirit of Russian isolation, the two long routes with Russian destinations were removed and to discourage you from doing shorter routes through or within the country, you had to pay a surcharge of 2 extra cards to use any one section within Russian borders or with a Russian terminus. Remarkably it worked ok, though western Europe was a tad congested with 4 players.
