I'm in a village outside Bridgend and plusnet are good enough here. 25mb good, not 66mb good mind you.
Best bit is you get an email account that is anything_you_like@username.plus.net so when you sign up to sites you can see when they sell it on/get hacked (and don't tell you), and block them forever.

Edit: Plusnet also do a referral discount, so if you get someone else to sign up and they enter your username, they get 25p a month off their bill forever...

You can do that with gmail accounts too. Just when you enter your email in a website, use youremail+companyname@gmail.com and it will still go to you. Anything after the + is just for your reference.

Johnson really isn't a great speaker. The difference between him and Corbyn talking today is immense, he doesn't sound remotely Prime Ministerial.

Genuinely chuckling to myself all day today about everyone saying "Johnson won't run a terrible campaign like May did".

The line of the window just where her mouth is is strangely unnerving. Not sure if there is really a good solution to where to place that big line over your picture but still. If only the window opened upwards you could move it up and down to make it look like Bus Swinson was talking

I just realised this was exactly what the previous poster meant by "Canadian" and indeed the whole point of posting that image in the first place. I am very smart.

Hepburn got suspended in October over sexual harassment allegations and Godsiff was facing a trigger ballot after supporting the protests over LGBT+ education in schools

Well I'll see who replaces Williamson before saying whether that's a good move or not but the other two seem very sensible.

My sister's partner is a lovely guy in every single way except that he used to vote Tory. Two years of my (very leftist, Corbyn supporting) sister trying to persuade him that they're evil bastards and he's contemplating voting Lib Dem this time. :rolleyes: Hopefully he can be brought round as he's a very reasonable man. Unfortunately everyone he knows is a Tory voter and one of his friends did an apprenticeship with Rees-Mogg so my sister's influence has a lot to fight against.

Surprisingly high, 78% in typical use. Comparable to the femidom at 79% and male condom at 82%, and better than spermicide at 72% and the rhythm method at 76%.

Absolute garbage compared to proper contraceptive methods like the copper coil at 99.2%, vasectomy at 99.85%, and the implant at 99.95% though. (All cases represent typical rather than perfect use as per CDC.)

Former advisor to Brown and Blair on how the first week in campaigns is so important https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/06/campaign-rollercoaster-election-first-week-blair-brown

Specifically talks about how loving up early means the news talks end up referring to the pressure your campaign is under and focuses on the mistakes and who will be the fall-guy when you lose. Whereas if you are seen as the soaring campaign then, as he puts it, you can literally punch a voter in the face and the world will laugh with you.

And he's right tbf, when Prezza decked that egg man I was hooting and hollering at the drop in decorum.

A number of us who are fighting very, very tight marginal seats in Wales have felt increasingly anxious about the story - not just from a PR point of view, the story not going away - but the perception that the party itself isn’t addressing the issue in the correct way.

The nature of the story demands a far better response from the party … It shines a light on the party in Wales. It’s problematic we don’t have a woman in a senior position in Wales, we’ve never had a female Welsh conservative member of parliament and I think that reflects poorly on us in 2019.

Corgis love bread. And Puro



I've mentioned before but I worked at a call centre for a well known high street brand, mainly checking on orders, ordering replacements & also putting orders in on the website for olds. It was about this time of year I got hired as they took on staff for the holiday season, it was shite dogsbody work but whatever. The centre was open 7 days a week but I never worked Sundays because I use public transport and the local bus service is loving useless on Sundays, thanks Stagecoach, it's definitely 1904 and nae oval office works on the Sabbath. That was fine, they hired me, I got very good at doing the soulcrushingly meaningless work and had excellent call times and responses from customers, etc. So come the end of my temp contract they offer me a permanent position. Not great, but better than signing on. And then suddenly a week before the new contract was due to start the guy from my agency asks me into a meeting room and says actually the contract offer had been withdrawn because they've suddenly decided they need me to do Sundays. Like they hadn't noticed in the previous 3 months, the loving cunts. And then they were like "oh yeah & you can't tell anyone" and I'm all "nope", go to my desk, get asked what that was about and said I'm getting let go because I can't work Sundays. And as a temp working I got gently caress all help from the union rep.

Definitely still bitter about that and I didn't even like the job.

Capita are shite.

Had a bit of a better canvassing session today, convinced a friend to vote labour and met a nice pro european man who seemed willing to give labour a shot based on the party giving him the best shot at staying integrated with europe.

Still frankly find it exhausting though, brings up so much anxiety, tightness in the chest and that. Urgh. Has to be done though. I did meet a nice man from momentum who laughed at my spanish civil war joke so that was pleasing. Never met another real life radical before.

They're gonna set me up with some admin accounts though so hopefully I can help out more there.
