Was... there not an election in '08? That might eb what I'm getting confused about, I thought Brown won one in '08 after Blair resigned, then lost the next one. I've never lived in a swing seat, apart from the one that turned out to be a lib/con swing seat that one time. E: 129 years ago in 1892, JRR Tolkein was born.

Labour x5, yes to AV, no to Brexit  Can't definitely say I wouldn't have fallen for the lib dems if I didn't live in a lab/tory marginal with a solid anti-war MP at the time, but I definitely didn't trust them in 2010 Ewan posted:2005 Lib Dem (I jest, I jest)

The Question IRL posted:Joe Biden: Who are you? Some Faragists are going bonkers because they think Cesar Chavez is the same as Hugo Chavez Rash: After weeks of umming and ahhing, and before all the sales finish on Sunday, I just ordered a micro-sofa (a 'love seat' - all that will fit in my place) for £244 including delivery - don't have to pay council tax (£115 pm for 10 months) for Feb & Mar. The camping chair visitors have to use is splitting and my main chair is disintegrating but I'm hoping it will peg out for another few months. Just looked on the site, I had the last one. I already had one go 'out of stock' while I was pondering and 19 weeks delivery time on most of them. This one should arrive within a couple of weeks.

What we are learning is that the Irish are hosed up deviants and their attitude to Weetabix was reason to expel them

I vaguely remember when we moved to the UK when I was a kid I thought Weetabix was some sort of British joke food, it just seemed too perfectly on-the-nose dreary and old-fashioned

Shyrka posted:This is fun. Not fun but it is a journey 2010: Lib Dem, hated the Labour government for hurting the poor while helping the rich and Clegg seemed a more principled option 2012: AV, even printed out my own homegrown flyers and went round the doors putting them in letter boxes. Thought it was wierd that there weren't easily findable/saveable jpegs of graphs saying AV is good 2014: Indy, couldn't vote obviously but memed online supporting independence because if anyone can hypothetically escape these death cult loving tories/nu lab cunts then god bless em take my energy 2015: Greens, actually did door-knocking for Labour because a girl I liked was doing it but in the polling booth got a sudden mental pop-up saying "Remember The Iraq War" and voted Green, then enthusiastically joined the party and actually ended up doing paid campaign work for them. The party management are absolute useless arseholes but will give the party credit that they pay the local living wage even when they could probably get away with not doing that and they do promote internally. Joined Labour after Corbyn won the leadership 2016: Khan, knocked on doors and regardless of how he's turned out anyone who didn't feel at least a bit inspired by Khan is a robot 2016: Remain, it was the obvious better option but accepted the result and was never culturally a "Remainer" 2017: Labour, went canvassing not on my own for once but with my dad and sister and we helped turn our constituency red for the first time in history. Amazing days, the establishment media pricks were screaming that Labour were doomed for caring about the poor but we spat in their loving eyes and won it 2019: Labour, canvassed again but it felt dogshit, rejecting the eu ref result very obviously meant that a massive loss was imminent and I felt like a fake bitch trying to encourage other people to keep doing activism

Kelloggs Start were absolute top tier cereal. They were marketed as a healthy cereal 'cause they were made with whole grain but they were coated in a sugary shell, but not so thick etc. as to make them too sickly sweet. Sadly they discontinued them in 2018, which probably makes sense because nobody I ever mentioned them too had tried them.

Dragging it out to 2010 cost him support, especially after the crash hit and the Tories could blame him for it.
