As a resident of Russia, I am pleased to read your review of Russian blades. I also use Ladas blades and I can say that they are of excellent quality. In my city, you can buy them without problems, and the price for them is more than pleasant.I am very sorry that now there are such difficulties with their acquisition. I wish you all peace and kindness.

In my city, I can buy Ladas blades at a price of 305 Russian rubles for 100 pieces. That's about 2.65 British pounds.

Here is the original version of Edan Golan's beautiful elogy to the 368 Nova music festival victims of October the 7th.
It was originally submitted to the Eurovision Song Contest panel, but was rejected as being "too political" or, in plain language, too accurate.
A watered down lyric version was submitted instead, despite strong protest from the songwriter. Originally titled "October Rain", it was re-titled "Hurricane"
It came 5th, winning the full 12 points from 15 countries populations in the televote, out of 36. Another 10 gave it 10 points, the second highest allowable.
It was undoubtably the highest quality piece of work performed at the contest, as many music critics have affirmed
The "official" jury panels gave it barely any votes. The popular vote catapulted it to 5th place.
Subjected to the most cruel mockery, intimidation and shameful behaviour from other far less talented contestents, this brave and deeply talented young artist showed the highest courage and artistic integrity.
Performed on the 18/05/24 as a part of a rally to support hostage families. It was addressed by the Ambassadors of the US, UK, Germany, Austria and France among others.
[Verse 1]
Writers of the history
Stand with me
Look into my eyes and see
People go away but never say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Someone stole the moon tonight
Took my light
Everything is black and white
Who's the fool who told you boys don't cry?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hours and hours and flowers
Life is no game for the cowards
Why does time go wild
Every day I'm losing my mind
Holding on in this mysterious ride
[Chorus]
Dancing in the storm
We got nothing to hide
Take me home
And leave the world behind
And I promise you that never again
I'm still wet from this October rain
October rain
[Verse 3]
Living in a fantasy
Ecstasy
Everything's meant to be
We shall pass but love will never die
[Pre-Chorus]
Hours and hours and flowers
Life is no game for the cowards
Why does time go wild
Every day I'm losing my mind
Holding on in this mysterious ride
[Chorus]
Dancing in the storm
We got nothing to hide
Take me home
And leave the world behind
And I promise you that never again
I'm still wet from this October rain
October rain

Thank you for that.
I won't comment on the lack of courage by the jury panel ... oh, wait. I think I just did.
Some Mark Kozelek for the shed.
Have a blessed Monday, gentlemen.

Simon if I were ever to visit England, the interesting site I'd want to visit first wouldn't be Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Stonehenge, etc.. It would be your garden shed!
And as we sat sipping a pint, I'd ask to see your collection of vintage razors, which must be amazing.

I secretly acquired the Stonehenge over some months. Much like Johhny Cash I got it one piece at a time.Simon if I were ever to visit England, the interesting site I'd want to visit first wouldn't be Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Stonehenge, etc.. It would be your garden shed!

It's at the back of the shed now.
You will have that famous and sublime Anglo-Jewish fusion cuisine meal Fish n' Chips and after I will show you my famous collection of old dried out tea bags which always breaks the ice at parties.
You are welcome any time Brother!

Apologies for the absence. I've had a lot of free time lately and spent it in my liquor cabinet.
I'll do the channel swim to your shed after I finish my stock!

A word to Aaron @APBinNCA
Thank you so much my friend. You were among the first to say kindly words and to encourage my clumsy efforts when I first came here. I will always remember.
I was very disturbed to hear of your troubles, so bravely uttered on a public forum. But this is B&B and it is our domain. We stand or fall together. Honesty is our currency, as is friendship and solidarity.
You will make it Son. You will fly high in all senses. All we be well. Have faith and all will come right. It always does. The long game pays off in the end.
I've been having a hard time since last October. The support I've received has been a soothing balm. So should it be for you.
Don't stress about what others may be acquiring. Leave that old bone in its hole. The joy is in the shave itself, not the mere brute components of the process.
You are always warmly and lovingly welcomed in the Shed brother Aaron.
With the deepest affection

Simon, I am only just now reading about your own troubles and your return brings me great joy. Thank you for the kind words here and elsewhere. We really have something precious here with this forum, I don't know how it endures. I will not be missing your posts unless my obligations take priority.
Please keep the light of humanity lit brightly outside your shed and I will be certain to stop by when I can. Kindest regards.
Aaron
PS: I missed our usual drunken new years posts this year and hope that we might return to this lovely tradition in the future
PSS: I have almost no clue what is going on in the world. This is a deliberate decision as negative events tend to affect me greatly and I can't spare any energy on distress. I do appreciate those who speak in my absence.

Aaron and Simon,
I used to watch cable news more than was healthy for me. I made a decision to stop watching, cold turkey. This didn't and doesn't mean I'm indifferent to the troubles in our world. I realized I couldn't affect things on a global scale. I could and do try to be kind to those around me.... to be a voice of reason when I can. I find, simple acts of kindness can brighten another person's day... Opening a door.... allowing someone to make a left turn in traffic... Giving compliments to strangers or an acquaintance... family and friends too, of course.... The shock on people's faces is telling...They aren't used to being treated kindly. That's sad in itself, but most of the time, the shock is replaced with a smile in short order.
I do keep up with world events through some online newspapers, but I don't read them religiously. I just check in now and then. My mental health has improved. My wife even commented. I rest my case. <eg>
