I think that's probably black bin rubbish. Specialist waste management service for the sake of public health most likely

Probably a blessed relief for her. In all seriousness, hope she has a quick recovery.

Maybe the Conservative party are digging their own grave(s?) with this tax cut nonsense. The Labour voters who went Conservative because of Brexit could easily turn back … If they're the sort of fucking idiot who voted Conservative against their interests to "gEt BrExIt DuN" I'm fairly sure they can be distracted by Sunak waving a shiney set of keys.

How do you get ready for Rishi? What does he want? To crush his enemies. See them driven before him. And to hear the lamentations of their women.

Today is certainly happening.
Games: Evil Genius 2. It's a bit easy. 4 stars.
OTTM: The vroom vrooms were good this weekend, reg changes working well generally, shame its France next, that's a properly crap track.
That's it. I have nothing more to amuse you with.

The ‘Unofficial Britain’ book I’m reading is quite good. crankcallerThe last chapter I read had a part about Greenock and the Cat man. The author talks about the psychological remoteness of the wasteland through the fence on Scott’s Lane … He’s now talking about multi-storey car parks as being like the Norman castles of yore. He puts things in quite an evocative way. The only problem is that each chapter ends with a poem. Though I suppose that’s ok really. John Wagner, co-creator of Judge Dredd, grew up in Greenock. I'm not saying Greenock is like Mega City One. Because there's still some hope in Mega City One.

In this day and age, isn't class just a way of defining an 'other' to direct all the blame for the worlds problems? See also: liberals, wokies, immigrants, gammons, racist white people, the patriarchy You forgot snowflakes, you bigot.

I've never given it much thought, but I guess I am middle class. I've know a guy who bangs on incessantly about how he's working class, and hates middle class people. He is the most comprehensively middle class person I've ever met. Someone called him out on it once, and he said it's got nothing to do with your lifestyle or background but it's about your values. When gently pushed about what his values were, he had a tantrum and refused to discuss it any further One of my team members is like this. Always going on that he's working class and how he had a dad who was also a "mechanic". His dad was an engineer. For Rolls Royce. At their head office.

One of my mates is a millionaire. He owns his own fire safety company, was doing OK for himself not super wealthy but living well. Then Grenfell happened. Made him a millionaire overnight basically, he had a great reputation and that combined with the general fire safety panic in local governments gave him a blank cheque. Id still describe him as having a working class attitude.
Between the ages of about 5 and 9 we were right poor. Like "tin Bath in front of the coal fire instead of putting the actual heating on for a bath" poor. When old man zord started making oil industry money we got out of that and that allowed me to go to uni, get a decent job, and propel myself up the food chain to what most people would consider a solidly middle class job and lifestyle. I would still describe myself as working class, and as long as the plebs stay away from my Merc I will continue to do so.

I see Penny Mordor has entered the apace for PM. She complained that her oponents have painted her as "woke".
If that ghoul is woke by their standards then fucking hell what chance have any of us got? Her voting record is the standard Tory mixture of anti-poor people and pro-badger killing.

Hi
It's hot.
Weather chat complete.
Addendum: What is it about hot weather that makes people think I want to listen to their shitty music taste at full blast?

So more and more candidates are crawling out of the woodwork. When the herd moves, it moves. And the ever strong smell of bullshit fills the air. Peter Bone has been made deputy leader of the House, that explains a lot of the stink of shit. A nothing role for a nothing man.

Sometimes I wonder at the contrast between the gun laws in the US and something like this story... It's worth reading the entirety of this imgur postAs one of the thread comments says, there's a mixture of the truth and "the truth" in this article, but one thing its gotten right is that there are a whole bunch of Soviet era drugs and research we've just ignored because of the cold war. Some of the researchers I've worked with have cottoned on to this and we've studied a fair slew of former soviet block pharmaceuticals over the last few years.

It's taken me this long of a time to build up the necessary strength to finally watch The Rise of Skywalker, it was unfortunately everything I feared it would be. Fucking awful. 4 stars. My thoughts exactly. The Last Jedi had me state I’d never see another Star Wars at the cinema. And when I finally saw Rise of the Skywalker on Disney+, I knew I’d made the right choice. I made the mistake of going to see Last Jedi with a group of normals. I had to clamp down my seething rage throughout the entire movie and then be non committal afterwards so I didn't spoil everyone's night by angrily pointing out everything that was bad about it and NO I didn't enjoy it, what the actual FUCK do you mean you enjoyed it?! Did we watch the same fucking film?! Did you even have a fucking childhood! Because Rian Johnson just took a big fat steamer all over mine, you make me sick you absolute plebs! Cough And that's why I don't go to the movies with people or generally leave the house.

I have only watched the original Star Wars trilogy. Because, in the interim, I grew up. Did yeh, aye?

If you think this is bad, wait till Melvazord appoints a pony tailed millennial as Chancellor of the Exchequer. You can't run a government department from under 20 feet of concrete and a bridge stanchion.

Wallace is a turd. I mean they're all turds, but he's one of these fly under the radar turds you've got to keep an eye on. At one point he claimed the 4th highest level of expenses of any MP. He has literally never, never, rebelled against the government during voting, so any honour or morals are for sale to the party. A dirty little sycophant cosying up to the Saudis.

One of the few people i am left with in my team has covid. I am now doing the jobs of 4 people. Id quite like a holiday, or better yet a new job. Anyone got a role for a 40 something nerd, fairly angry, moderately irrelevant degree? Can provide own novelty pen. Can you find your own way to Downing Street? Jesus can you imagine? I'd be assassinated within the first week. But imagine the damage I could do. Day 1, hour 1: have the army burn down the Daily Mail offices.

I reckon lazybones is one of those Twitter commentators who refers to Starmer is “Keith”. Keir Starmer has your number. Written on a bloody big Union Jack (Flag). He’ll be wearing a Nelson hat soon. Best quote I ever saw about Starmer went something like: Boris Johnson proposes raising 50 foot Union Jack. Kier Starmer retaliates and proposes raising 40 foot Union Jack. Obviously I'll take him over the Torys any day, but my god he's so wishy washy. Centrist politics at its "finest".
