Some buildings.
Graffiti.
Wolverhampton Railway Station.

That alone is one of the best bits of poetry I've come across in a long while. Possibly ever.

I guess the Scando-Dutch model of high tax for a better quality of life all round, doesn't appeal much to post-Thatcher Britain.
That or PR.

vis a vis kicking faces. clearly neither I nor my colleauge "Auntie Marie" would ever actually do this. it was merely a "turn of phrase" that conveyed so much it amused the **** out of me.

tinyclanger2

a colleague at work many years ago once described someone as having "the kind of face you'd never tire of kicking"
of course you're not allowed to say this kind of thing anymore but i occasionally think of her fondly

morning

At this point in our social evolution if Labour don't go for PR i literally see no point in them. The relative stability of EU countries with PR (although Belgium???) must provide reasonable case studies/scenarios. I guess one of Belgium's special contributory factors (to its mystifying condition) i...

I'm partial to a bit of grape based ranting fuel myself

Hello

It's truly amazing how rapidly civilisation/society has declined

Meanwhile in the USA Marjorie Taylor Green threatens to defund education to stop teachers brainwashing children

Truss & Kwarteng - tax cuts in "selected" regions, to be paralleled by lower environmental regulations plus removing the cap for bankers bonuses.

Physically sickening.

Am surprised PF hasn't expressed a view/edict on the Oxford punctuation issue

If your docs are in word you can use (search and) replace to replace (two spaces typed in) with (one space typed in)

(For the record I was modded for using the word "psychopath")

I remember when Cameron and Osborne came in and we thought it couldn't get any worse (I think we were even still at the Guardian comments at the time)

tinyclanger2

What's the collective noun for a big bunch of Tories

tinyclanger2

(Although in a fundamental way I don't approve, I did find the evidence-based approach entertaining)

tinyclanger2

On the other hand (Joe Lycett)

tinyclanger2

I read and appreciate your various contributions daily, but remain in a quasi vegetative state (shocked by the world) which appears to inhibit me from thinking of anything remotely valuable or interesting to contribute.

Still, why start now eh!

tinyclanger2

Hello all.

tinyclanger2

As indeed it must every day.

tinyclanger2

I don't have a word to describe my state of mind these days. But will of course let you know when I find/create one.

Meanwhile Happy Birthday ROT. I can just imagine the joy that the Tory palava has added to your day.

I bet every nester past and present went to this joy

tinyclanger2

Is a new kettle some kind of 2022 investment scheme?

tinyclanger2

It's never too late.

tinyclanger2

literally deranged

tinyclanger2

Hello all,
Worst thing is the Cameron comment doesn't even make my blood boil. Literally no level of stupidity and/or disingenuousness has the capability to surprise these days.

tinyclanger2

vaguely cheering

tinyclanger2

Hello all.
Because I find the world currently very (too) sobering I've also started watching SuperStore (Cloud 9). Any takers?

Speaking of which my deja vu disappeared!

Hello all

tinyclanger2

No swimming though.

tinyclanger2

Spent today hanging out with people I like (and haven't seen since BC); good advice Gilsey.

tinyclanger2

When will there be good news?

tinyclanger2

I guess the Tories didn't notice the body of literature on poverty/self employment

eg: https://wol.iza.org/uploads/articles/60 ... ntries.pdf

tinyclanger2

wow. we're ****ed.

Hello

Meanwhile at Axminster an elderly couple (or at least pair of people) stopped in the no stopping zone so "he" could disembark. Told the train bloke they had to stop there because "he" couldn't walk very far to the ticket machine because "he" (and "she") had co...

Hello

tinyclanger2

As far as I'm concerned the only possibility for some kind of democracy is for left alliance to get in and bring in PR and sort out the press (a la Miliband).
