If you ever saw that bit in monty python and the meaning of life where they sing the sperm song and there's the two big rows of houses with identical yards backing onto an alley? That's a really standard house design. If you knock two together you get a normal size house.
This is my house, right down to the brick shithouse. Which is no longer a shithouse.

Well, it is, but that's because there's a bunch of poo poo in it and the door's hosed up, not because of function.

:cthulhu: nice

e: 113 years ago they'd just finished building a ton of houses like that around every little pit and mill town.

Right, but the tide hadn't told cnut multiple times that he could withdraw from the beach at any time.

I mean if no deal is on the cards by default then what's even the point of having the second vote?

Why not do what I do and say "Fucks like Romney are heartless demons in human form and there should be a Hell just for them to suffer for all eternity?" Mocking their diet or appearance just sounds like something you could easily map to someone far less deserving if the impulse strikes.

If this is genuinely a compulsion you feel then either a) learn how to sincerely apologise, and do so once you've cooled off, or b) maybe seek anger management therapy because why are you randomly punching down?

I wonder how I'd feel if Theresa May's incompetence ended up meaning that Brexit got cancelled.

Maybe two wrongs do make a right sometimes.

If May ragequits tonight do the votes for tomorrow and Thursday still stand or does government business halt? Off the top of my head they should still go ahead because the Leader of the Commons has already scheduled them in but there could still be delaying skullduggery. I don't think there was any parliamentary business scheduled when Cameron cried off?

At most, it's indicatory - i.e. X% of MPs don't want No Deal, even if they can't form a majority for what to do instead - at least it gives MPs something to cover their arses with when the blame starts getting passed around. Equally you might want a managed exit but also think an extension/second ref carries the unacceptable risk of Brexit being called off entirely.

Also, it's partly based off the idea of 'indicative votes' some Tory Remainers were pushing - the idea being that Parliament, at this stage, doesn't actually know what, if anything, might win a majority vote, so maybe they should at least do a show of hands on the most likely options.

Alternative metaphor: voting 'to rule out No Deal' is Hitler in his bunker giving orders to divisions that don't exist to perform tasks that are impossible

Boy chimney sweeps: when I were a lass back in the 60s I remember seeing a couple of times a show that gave me nightmares about a boy sweep climbing a chimney and getting stuck and suffocating to death. I can still see that lad's face now. I think it was from Merry Go Round, a schools' tv programme which was aimed at primary school kids.

I used to pity psychopaths because they were not aware that they were hurting others. But after seeing how there are so many making the world worse, I have a hard time even thinking of them as sentient. For if you cannot feel empathy for fellow humans and you spend your every waking hour merely mimicking acceptable behavior to fuel your base urges then can you truly call yourself human?
