Morning, no games. It seems traffic is back to normal levels around here. Any more panic buying before masks are enforced or will people be sensible this time?

Games: In an epic NP2 game - 15m a move; unrelenting pressure ... Amazingly there's an all-player thread. strat: We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of the thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder. Chumbles "In three we are one, in one are we mighty; And, sons of the storm, riders of the winds between the stars, Our feet are rooted in a hundred galaxies, Our hearts burn with the fires of a thousand Suns, Our knowledge is ancient and our craft dire. And, sons of the storm, riders of the winds we shall unmake you. In three we are one, in one are we mighty, this we shall do" You have to be nuts to play at this speed. btw his is a quote.

Morning
Games - Rise Of The Tomb Raider - picked it up in the steam sale a couple of weeks ago. Pretty enjoyable if a bit quick-timey. Getting things wrong leads to some horrific deaths though. A bit gratuitous, really. What’s wrong with the old fade to black?

Telly: Avengers End Game
Games: 2 matches of the Fortnite
OTTM: Mrs Fark would not let me trim the outside hedge all summer due to "nesting birds" and now the neighbours have complained about it.

I need to setup a social media post promoting ebooks & eaudio. There's really only so much you can say that's not been said already "read an ebook. Or don't. Past caring. Fuck off" Typing that into Hootsuite atm. Hello. Last day of work this week and back up to the Inlaws this evening. TV. Bosch latest series. Games. Monkey Business mission in GTA then a couple of missions in TD2. I see we are past pretending we're not selling the NHS. Marvellous. 4 stars. {Edit}Found a nice mask for shenguin |

OTTM: Mrs Fark would not let me trim the outside hedge all summer due to "nesting birds" and now the neighbours have complained about it. I would not complain about an untrimmed hedge. I like birds. As I recall, though, you have shitty neighbours. @neighbourchat: The Odd Couple upstairs have been running their laundry business since Friday. All-the-fucking-time from 8am til 11pm, with a break if they go out. Tids is no fool, he keeps a log and takes snappy snaps of the fruits of their labour. Photographing washing lines is a lot more fun than I thought. Tids also spoke to the Ice Bitch yesterday evening (in passing), 'Business is booming - yes?'. She didn't even stop walking. |

Are you going to innocently complain to the housing association/council that you can't get access to the washing lines as upstairs seem to be doing a lot of washing? Or you going both barrels accusing them of running a laundry?

Hi.
More Sinner s3. It has a real horror vibe. Top telly.
Ottm. Everyone pumped for the sale of the NHS and the introduction of TTIP, which the Tories said we had to get out of Europe to avoid?
I've also been reading the Russia report. All the best best bits are redacted for some reason .

Or you going both barrels accusing them of running a laundry? Upstairs do not have access to a washing line, they just hang it over the balcony and they have several 'clothes horses' on the landing - outside their front door.* My belief is that they wish to 'hound us out', so they can have our ground floor property to maximise productivity on the drying front. They will get ' both barrels', when they have given themselves enough rope etc.. *I should have been clearer in the original post. |

We have always been at war with Eurasia and Eastasia.
That is just basic.

Which blogger is most likely to be an NKVD stooge? Facelessbureaucrat0? Clue in the name. Or Melvazord? Deeply embedded in the lucrative East Midlands dolly scene.
Not that I am advocating a witch hunt, but I have got some spare kindling if needed.

I'm not convinced that Putin is the great mastermind of the internet he is made out to be.
Did the Russians seek to interfere a bit in the EU referendum and in subsequent elections? Yes
Did the US government buy the Ukraine elections outright? Yes. They also bought the 1998 Russian election and are seriously fucking up Venezuela* and Bolivia as well as having destroyed Iraq and Libya and badly damaged Syria**.
Every country seeks to influence others to its point of view. Well except the UK under the Tories where we storm out of our alliances and sulk.
The Russians lobbed a couple of hundred thousand at Facebook and put some crap on RT. Which no one actually watches. And let a few of their trolls have a bit of fun.
That's not great behaviour. But it's not a great plot to steal elections either.
If our democracy is so at risk to a couple of Russians playing around it wasn't in great shape anyway.
Plus we (well the USA anyway, I'm not sure we have our arses in gear) do a whole lot more. There are departments employed to spread U.S. propaganda all over the internet and media as well. You'd hardly know that from coverage. Incidentally they are not allowed to target US companies or operate within the USA. I suspect that means there's quite a few paid US shills as well as the Russian and Chinese ones on the G.
Also it was UK citizens who chose to vote Leave and to vote for a hard leave Tory government. From what I have seen and heard there are plenty enough of them to have done both without blaming the Russians.
* Yes I know the Venezuelans are doing an ok job at this by themselves
** Yes I know Assad is a grade 1shit. But he isn't IS. We (partly via Turkey and Saudi Arabia) supported IS in Syria. That democratic opposition to Assad? Turns out to have been invented by the CIA so they could say they weren't paying IS directly. That makes us the bad guys.
