it should probably disqualify you from having a high profile role discussing politics at a public broadcaster

The thing about Forevereal Modding Mu is that he loves editing files and wants others to download his permanent mods. Fully editing, rich text, altering files and loving it. Download his mods and enjoy it.
Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - a decent majority with Boris Johnson, or frenzy with Jeremy Corbyn.

I could've gone to Blatherwycke



My wife and I were watching TV last night when Jo Swinson came on screen.

"I can't even hear her name without thinking of that stupid song and it's all your fault."
"What?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
"Remind me"
"Swinson's in power, Squirrel Nutkin's terrified" (Freed from Desire)
"Ahahahahahaha"

Cue the next couple of hours with me occasionally saying "Squirrel Nutkin" and getting shouted at.

Apparently it's a fave song in her aquacise class which caused her to meltdown last time.

Emma calling sex workers "whores" is the big red flag imo. I don't really expect these people to be better than SWERFs, but they should def be scolded for their poo poo opinions regardless

I dont have a tv licence and got rid of anything remotely close to broadcast tv/on demand stuff since I just watch youtube. Is there any good known youtubey type places to watch the votes roll in tomorrow evening that wont impinge on my strict 'dont give tv licence people any excuse ever' policy? I am the kind of masochist that wants to watch every moment roll in sort of because the last two times I've slept through the fanfare we've ended up with tories

You can just watch it on iPlayer they are powerless to enforce it and this way you also steal bandwidth lol

I went to university with Emma Barnett. In Freshers Week she ran to be the student representative to the faculty and made a speech claiming she had been head girl at her school. She had not, in fact, been head girl at her school. Also she used to move required reading books around the short loan section of the library to make sure she could get them.

Thank you for reading my Emma Barnett stories.

I can imagine what this person was like from this description alone.

A friend in law used to have someone who would go even further and check out multiple copies of the same book just to gently caress everyone else over, because apparently it's a more directly competitive subject somehow and that increased their chances of doing better.

i think ultimately it breaks between people who want something different and people who are just irredeemably spiteful pieces of poo poo who enjoy seeing themselves reflected in boris johnson. they like that he's an obvious oval office who dodged his way into top job after top job, it's their own stories in micro. there's no talking to them really. best we can do if it's a bad result is wait another 5 for harsh winters to thin out this bovine herd of resentful olds.

Sounds like you had a very challenging upbringing JC. Honestly I think the 'dad feels he can take it upon himself to overrule mum like some Victorian patriarch' is almost worse than the political incoherence. Probably crosses out 'household reference person' on the census and writes 'head of household' lol

My condolences.

Might be worth checking out Al Jazeera or RT online to see if they are? Podcast are going all through the night though obviously it's not visual. And as someone else suggested, this thread.

We're actually streaming, not podding, on election night so there will be a visual element! Come see if the faces match the voices!
