Glad to see the back of 2022 and hoping that US politics can settle down to a more civilized debating environment.

I would love to answer the poll, but I dislike both varieties of life forms! Cats eat birds and dogs are mobile pooping machines

"We was robbed in the first game against Dalimbar" growled the Mediobogdum Coach, Ginger (Fingers) Malone. "The ref would have been more effective if he had been waving a white stick rather than the whistle he had in his hand! He and his team of touch judges missed numerous blatant knock-ons, ignored at least two high tackles, not to mention half a dozed forward passes. I will be taking a careful look at the video replays of these incidents and may make a formal complaint against the match officials to the TWP World Rugby Cup Committee."
As for our second game against Giovanniland, the match officials had it spot on and I would like to congratulate them on their professionalism, good humour, and deft handling of the whole game. The sportsmanship showed by our opponents in their defeat was exemplary and we enjoyed post-match schooner races in the bar followed by rugby songs that included: Pull'em Down You Zulu Warrior!, Mule Train!", and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.

Mediobogdum is a massive, industrially efficient nation, is notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and rampant corporate plagiarism. This position has been founded on the nation's massive naval military and merchant naval fleets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion. Mediobogdum has a large number of colonies which it has acquired over the past 2,000 years as the results of wars, peace treaties, and subjugation.

Wise words indeed but washes hands of the whole affair.
People are already in a state of panic due to the crass reporting of the fake news empire which has caught severe case of TDS.

Traditionally, I have always preferred the Summer Olympics but I do have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Snowboarding events with their spectacular crashes!

Bran, you are undoubtedly a great choice for our next delegate. I have watched with much pleasure your enthusiasm and dedication shining through all that you do for the region and the wider NSverse over the past many months.
Halo, what can I say? Your wonderfully, energetic, enterprising, and hard-working run as TWP delegate is coming to a close. It has been a sincere pleasure to have served under your tutelage. Many, many thanks for your service to the region

As someone who is losing at both ends, I would prefer to know what is happening to me today than what happened to me in the ever-increasingly distant past.
