  1. Agreed with Ausman. Whenever I've been drinking I have 1-2 glasses of water before sleep and even at the ripe old age of 30 I don't get a headache/hangover the next day. If you do though, there's always Alka-Seltser.

  2. I'm probably going to shift into something else in the next 12 months. Got my TEFL certificate there doing nowt and I imagine that moving to Korea for a year is quite a shift but fuck it, I think it needs to be something drastic that shifts you out of the malaise.

    My cousin spent a year in Korea, found a Korean lass to settle down with and now won't come back :lol:

     

    Apparently it keeps you.

  3. 6 guests viewing this thread through. You just know that lurkers have been choking on their coffee all day with excitement at the title of the thread, only to open it with sheer dismay once they've fully appreciated the crapness of the source...

  4. I work late pretty often and am the only person in the business not to be paid overtime for doing so :lol:

     

    I also have a side business that I work on when at home, so I pretty much work all the live long day (except when posting on here).

     

    I'm not sure why I do it, I think I'm hoping that one day I'll be minted and can sack everything else off...

  5. I'm still just elated that we actually fucking signed anyone. I seriously didn't think it was beyond the realms of possibility that Darlow and Lascelles were the only incoming transfers we'd see this season.

     

    Much as CT is an arse about these things, let's be a little pleased about how things are going surely?

  6. I agree with pretty much everything, but I wouldn't say they've done it with aplomb. They've set a few obvious traps and Labour have just walked straight into them. But again, Labour's strategy is to win a few hundred thousand Tory votes instead of going after the millions who don't vote, or those who've left over the years to vote SNP, Lib Dem, Green etc, so it was inevitable that they were going to fall for these Tory tactics.

     

    Yeah I guess that's probably true. This is what happens when you lose an election and the leader immediately vacates the scene. Miliband should have stayed on to continue guiding the party and steering the debate as Brown should have done before him. I don't know if that would have been enough this time, but a significant part of me thinks that if Brown had continued to lead and stood in opposition while the fallout from the financial crisis was raging, we wouldn't be where we are today. The Tories peddled a pack of lies entirely unanswered by Labour, and they're doing so again now.

  7. Thing is, much as I want to believe otherwise, I actually find myself in agreement with CT here. Labour look shot - they've never properly got it together following Blair and they have no idea who they are anymore. The left, while still the larger proportion of the country IMO, are fragmented, and the Tories are sweeping up the middle ground that Labour failed to vacate.

     

    Genuinely believe we're fucked until something else comes along that kicks off governmental change outside of domestic politics. Maybe withdrawal from the EU would do it, but I expect the Tories will play both sides of that debate...

  8. As bad as Labour are handling this, the Tories have politicised the emergence of the SNP to kill them (Labour) and have done so with aplomb, sadly...

     

    It's actually making the Tories look competent, how well they've played all the other parties.

     

    We need better leadership on the left than this. We need consistent strategies that will differentiate our parties from the Tories, not this rush to the middle ground. Truth is though, it's not going to happen. We're lumbered with the Tories until a) they fuck up something really, really seriously or b ) some geopolitical issue (like the financial crisis) comes along and shafts them. Even then, on the latter one, Labour would have to be properly sorted out to be able to make the most of it. If the opportunity came along now, they wouldn't be able to capitalise...
