OwlFancier posted:Wait is jeffrey epstein actually pronounce steen? Well according to Baddiel that makes you anti-semitic. As Frankenstein Castle (which Mary Shelley visited before writing the book) is in Germany it should probably be FrankenSCHTINE. Page snipe: ed 251 is 4 less than 256 which is 16 squared or 4 to the power of 4. Everyday for several years I walked past 256 Tottenham Court Road, and every day I thought to myself - Ha, here comes 16 squared. Such is the exciting life I lead.

Hah thanks for the pronunciation breakdown everyone E: I mean presumably the right way is however old Jeffers, God rest his soul, liked to pronounce it himself? But if you've spent your life hearing it another way it makes sense why Corbyn went for that way. mudskipp fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Oct 19, 2020 |

Alec Price on the NEC seems good.quote:As a child, I watched New Labour attack firefighters, like my dad, striking for fair pay, whilst Iraq burned for oil. So I think I'm actually going to list all of those as vote preferences (I am looking at their personal statements as I go. Pidcock breaks my heart because she's so good on every other issue except trans rights  I don't know whether to put her last or just leave her off or put her in 6th as the GRV site wants me to.

Great if you had a copious vocabulary of arabic DIY words... not if you didn't. Someone should produce an Arabic-English DIY dictionary. I would start in my best arabic "I want a.. excuse me I don't know the name in arabic..." so I would try and explain in arabic what I wanted. This was the height of the evening's entertainment in our local market.

I am also genuinely wondering whether voting for her is just scorched earth on the party, in the sense that if one of the right candidates gets in are they likely to do more damage to trans representation than her even if she is a bit poo poo? Like I am basically only voting to throw a hand grenade at the right, I don't really have much hope they will achieve anything. If she manages to gently caress their plans up at all I don't know if that's a better thing than not having her, I guess. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Oct 19, 2020 |

Think I'll include her but I'm just gonna give ever left candidate a preference. Steve Maggs says: quote:Please rank all six candidates supported by the Labour Left Alliance – Roger Silverman, Ekua Bayunu, Alec Price, Chaudhry Qamer Iqbal, Coral Taylor Spedding and me – we are committed to the ‘Action Programme for the left’ (https://labourleft.org/labour-party-nec- elections-2020/). Please also rank as many left wing candidates as you can and include E: And done. Ended up with I think 17 who seemed decently socialist, saying that they support things like Open Selection, the Green New Deal, LGBT and BAME rights, or just outright saying they supported Corbynand/or the 2017/19 manifestos etc. Also, very nice of so many of them to stick up a big danger sign on their foreheads by recommending us to vote for Akehurst. So can I cancel my direct debit now or do I have to wait until after the votes are processed to be safe? WhatEvil fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Oct 19, 2020 |

There's an ambulance parked outside and I'm doing the thing that I always do and hoping it's not there for any of my neighbours, then feeling intensely guilty because by hoping it's not a friend I'm wishing ill on a stranger just to save my own feelings. I loving hate my brain, I really do.

It's really loving awful that my initial reaction to her was that she was some dumb person because every time her name was mentioned she was talked about like some dunce when she's probably one of the best and most principled people to ever walk through Parliament.

Yeah but then I feel bad about the paperwork the paramedics will have to fill out. I blame The Good Place, frankly. Everybody should watch The Good Place, by the way. It's sometimes schmaltzy, the third series kinda doesn't know what it wants to do, but it's about the highest-concept sitcom ever made - the nature of good and evil, the concepts of justice and redemption, not to mention the whole history of moral philosophy, with just enough dick jokes to take the edge off. Imagine any sitcom having the sheer loving brass balls to make this joke: https://twitter.com/nbcthegoodplace/status/1141753547962212353

Found myself watching all 23 minutes of this instructional drive from London to Bath in 1963 and felt it would be of interest to some UKMT posters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp-Sv_lXWvU 8m15 recommended for the Institute of Advanced Motorists' recommended technique for dealing with slower traffic in the fast lane - drive up their arse flashing your headlights and beeping your horn until they move over. Also taught me about the existence of the West London Air Terminal, where people would check in and leave their baggage in South Kensington before travelling on to Heathrow.
