Just me, forever having to hurdle those five-metre-long dog leads when I'm out on a run.

And a fragmented opposition works very nicely for the Tories under our idiotic voting system. We're familiar with the 1983 election when the Alliance polled >25%, or 2010 when a Labour-LD coalition would have accounted for more than half of the voting electorate, but it's mad thinking that the Labour+Liberal vote was over 50% even when Thatcher first got elected in 1979. This country is home to considerably fewer flag-shaggers than the system allows it to appear.

Today I am greatly enjoying this extremely fucking stupid album

Ages ago I rebooked last summer's Dutch weekender ( ) for late June this year, but that's looking fairly likely to be postponed again, aye. Reckon it'll just have to be a bit of Scotland and THE NORTH this summer either side of the school holidays, which obviously I'll be spending at home because I value my sanity.

This thread is already more competitive than the match is going to be.

Ah, Spoon Energy.

Ye know me well.

As long as they serve freedom fries.

Remember where you heard it last

So sorry to hear that, Renton. Much love to you and your family. I echo what people have said about looking after yourself - and I know we're just some blokes (and Cath) on an internet forum but if venting on here helps you out there in the real world, you know we're always around.

When you've just voted to actively surrender your soft power, what remains but this?

Haha, that took me far too long.

So people are getting blood clots with the vaccine rather than blood clots from the vaccine? Sounds familiar Bet the people who use that phrasing about virus deaths aren't so keen to roll it out here though.

She must be conflicted. On the one hand, lots of lovely police violence, just the way she likes it. On the other, an opportunity to stick it to those latte-munching luvvies in Londonistan. What to do, what to do?

Remember where you read it first.

Maybe

Nibbles must condemn.

You'll be supporting ARE BRAVE BOYS in no time.

From Popbitch. I hope it's true.

Russia have turned down the opportunity to send this to Eurovision. Shame.

More specifically, for the Irish, it’s like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown."

This is what dog ownership does to a man. Be warned.

I find it hard to care about the whole thing, but I do wonder how many flag-wavers who signed a condolence book for Diana are now riding the "Meghan's just an attention-seeker/wealthy people shouldn't complain about their mental health" train without a hint of irony.
