This is why I never give a poo poo about the Christmas #1. It's always stupid because the people are stupid.

Except that time it was Killing in the Name as a meme, although the discourse around that was also stupid, because the people are stupid.

I somewhat appreciated the push to get Cliff Richard to number 1 for Christmas 2019 and New Year 2020, with the intent of making him the only artist to have a number 1 hit in eight different decades.

You can already buy 500ml bottles of wine so I'm not sure the extra 68ml is worthy of a Telegraph article, but on the other hand it's GOOD OLD IMPERIAL MEASURES NONE OF THIS METRIC so it's hardly surprising.

They don't care about grammar and spelling either, and it's more fun to jump through the truck sized holes in their terrible arguments. You won't convince them of anything but you might at least play to the audience.

Unless it's something like "if you carnt speak english your should be deported" in which case the two are the same thing, but that's an edge case.

You can just call anything champagne, who cares. Did we leave the EU just to remain beholden to the fascists at the Institut national de l'origine et de la qualité?

That was a stressful morning, going into town. Not because it was exponentially busy or anything, but I sat down by the river for a tab, and some stupid loving woman comes along with a 2k bag of bird seed, tips it on the ground right near me, and microseconds later I'm in the middle of a cloud of pigeons. I went a little spare and accused her of not being all there. "Oh, are you scared of birds? No but rats with wings that are bacteria carriers and poo poo everywhere don't do it for me.

Then the swans showed up. No feeding, just sat in the water staring at me. I *am* scared of swans, they are nasty bastards.

Then walking home (didn't get most of what I need, but gently caress it. Walked past the commune of bikers, as one of them started up his hog, with a massive explosion. I confess I uttered a strong vulgarity.

Now the parents have hosed 9ff down the pub, I can see a dust up rolling over the horizon.

Merry loving Christmas.
