Interview yesterday must have gone well, as I have been offered the job. Has anybody heard of CityFibre? Is that a new cereal for the fast paced city folk? high in fibre, low in cholesterol lag. |

Oh, also, congratulations Scoobs, best of luck. Are you now the Queen's line manager, did I hear?

Queenchat,
To play Devil's Advocate you do have to live under the spotlight and align with a lot of stuff you may not want to.
If my parents divorced when I was a kid the press hounded my mum, leading to possible involvement in her death (and subsequent pictures and continual articles). I then had to walk behind her coffin on TV. Dunno, might fancy a job in a call centre.
The Royals will never have to borrow money or worry about their job security but it's not all fun and swan dishes. I don't think I would have fared well if the death of my grandfather was greeted by some with glee on social media.
I'm also not excusing some of them who are just beyond parody btw. I would fail as a Royal, I'd hate it.

Plenty of pizza, teenage girls lined up for you. Loads of people willing to flash the cash to meet you. You don' t even have to be nice to people. What's not to like?
Alright so you have to travel to Woking for the pizza, so it's not all that great.
I suppose if you don't like pizza it wouldn't be very nice, but everyone likes pizza.

I m a strong republican and an atheist. I'd have tumbrils down Whitehall like in the good old days*.
Do those make me a bad person? No.
It's everything else that does that.
* Not like in the good old days. Like in the French Revolution. I think the execution of Charlie I was not open as a public entertainment.

I am still hopeful that a violent revolution will result in them being put up against the wall and shot. Classic Pinko scum. “We’re all equal, except those in charge”. |

@carblog. The damn thing is fighting me all the way. I will win, though, as I have skills.* *I had better win as I have 5 female relatives watching every move I make. They've all come around to watch Mr Tids struggle with 'The Green Machine'. Five backseat drivers? Oof. I hope you can get the interior temperature set just right, otherwise you’re going to get an earful. |

Today I received my copy of Private Eye. I didn't know that they had asked Sheep2 to design the cover:  I suppose they are already bracing themselves for complaints. |

tenthenemy ruined my joke. Most annoyingly her joke was much better than mine. I could not be angrier. It's not that surprising I suppose as my comment was pretty poor, but even so I would have been happier if had had not been unceremoniously booted down the page so that it looked even more pathetic. Still you live and don't learn.

I would fail as a Royal, I'd hate it. I would not want to be a member of the Royal Family. Well - maybe a peripheral member: Lots of dosh and no spotlight. I'm not really against them at all. It's just the language that gets used. You'd think the Queen was going down the mines. 'Tireless services'. For fuck's sake. |

I've build a house*, with a bed, a fire with chimney stack, a chest, a cooking station and a workbench.
I think I've done all the game has to offer, on to the next game.
*walls, roof, floor and a door!
