I was going to mention that Alan had kicked off again but, you know, it's hardly news, is it? As you say, it's the new normal.
In the forthcoming war to end all wars, will the sides be us and the EU and the US versus Russia and the Allans, in which case what will the chinamen do? Or will it be a three-sided conflict, us v the Russians with Allans sniping from the sidelines?
