Only chance the poshos had of not getting annihilated in the election was keeping the buffoon Johnson in charge. Crazy but true. Labour knew this. Should be plain sailing for Sir Beer Korma now. Although I guess Kinnockio thought the same, but he didn't consider the blatant ginger racism that was rife in Britain in the 80s. I'll be spoiling, or maybe soiling, my ballot paper in any case.
Righto, off to meet Sheep2 for a game of conkers.

Have you soaked your conkers in vinegar?

I see it as part of a Byzantine ruse to trick Keir Starmer into a fix of untenable positions.

The Smile (Thom Yorke's not Radiohead band) have announced a new album and a tour. As they are in Brum on an international weekend I am quite keen to see them.
I still have my ticket for the cancelled 2020 TY solo show.

You could say … I don’t know know … David Cameron came out relatively unscathed from his years as Prime Minister. He didn’t have to reap the grim consequences of underfunding the NHS when COVID hit and, on the Brexit issue he would now be seen to have been on the side of E.U. inclusive social liberalism. Maybe he would be appealing to some of the voters Labour might lose.
I’ve no idea. I mean he might be ok as a foreign minister. He can talk to E.U. politicians as someone who was in support of the UK’s membership of the E.U. Even though he blundered it. You would expect him to be more emollient than a Brexit ideologue.
The Suella Braverman sacking was broadcast on the big TV in Utrecht Centraal station. I’m on my way to Amsterdam …

I used to bake my conkers in the oven at a very low temperature.

Hi, I bought a series S 1tb xbox on saturday, is much faster than the old one. Also thanks to gameshare I have all the new games to play.
Started Starfield, first 8 hours have been fine. My inventory management has not been so great. Landed in the wrong place quite early by mistake on Mars and ended up going to the Mantis lair at level 5, eventually triumphed and got lots of sweet gear and a new ship. My new ship had a lovely weapons display area that I used to display my finest legendary gear. I went on a mission only to find that the whole lot had fecking disappeared! This is apparently a known 'thing' on the razorleaf, so now Im scared to leave any sweet stuff anywhere. Bastards.

I had a toasted sandwich filled with a combination of pungent cheeses and cavalo nero. I also had a cup of coffee, then about ten minutes ago I had a bottle of juice from a supermarket. I would have liked a bit longer in Amsterdam. Great atmosphere. I’m standing on a train platform - getting some great barge visuals. I mean just watching the barges go past. Fantastic.

First veg stew of the season. Carrots, leeks, swede, pots and dumplings. Enough left for supper. I'm tempted to try dumpling with curry some time.

Leftover Baba Ganoush, Hummus, toasted pita and a fried egg. About to have a coffee. Trying to put in my remainder of hols for the year. Xmas shopping and hopefully a day to myself would be nice.

I’m standing on a train platform - getting some great barge visuals. I mean just watching the barges go past. Fantastic. In my heavy acid period I was at work on a Monday after tripping at the weekend and I watched yellow dots appear on the white table I was sitting at and then form up to an animation of a man pulling a plough along the table. But the barge thing is cool too.

I’m in the departure area for London at Amsterdam Centraal station. It’s not a great experience. Just a sort of long room on the platform, with a coffee machine and sandwich machine.
I bought a drink called a ‘Wiener Melange’. At the end of the transaction the machine urged me to ‘treat myself well.’
It’s actual not bad. A sort of foamy hot chocolate that maybe has some coffee in. Here for another hour …

I wasn’t getting psychedelic visuals. I was literally just watching barges.

I guess living on a barge, or narrowboat, might be a good way to avoid the crowds when the zombie apocalypse starts. Just park up in the middle of nowhere, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for it all to blow over.

I only really remember getting psychedelic visuals once on LSD. For some reason I just HAD to have a curry, so I walked to the local takeaway and bought, I think, a chicken madras to take away. I sat on a pub bench (the pub was closed) and ate it with a plastic fork. But the curry glowed green, like Slime the ghost/creature thing from the original Ghostbusters.
I used to get loads of audio stuff though, hearing footsteps, people calling my name etc. Bit odd.
Drugs are for mugs, mmkay.

I saw a chair run away from me once. That wasn't LSD, though. Some kind of whizz mashup.

Obviously I've never taken drugs. But if I'd taken LSD, I'd be more into chupa-chups lollies or soft fruits than curry. Christ, curry when tripping.
