There was an "Indian Tapas" place near me when I lived in Milton Keynes. I held off going for ages because the concept seemed ridiculous, but it turned out they made *incredible* food (and it was just served in a sligthly different "style" to usual and they had more in the way of like, dry stuff that were more like nibbles alongside curries and stuff).

I think personally that it may be a bit late for a "dignified exit from politics" even if I could expect him not to wander out of number 10 at 1.30 in the afternoon half cut with his dick out.

OwlFancier posted:Technically I believe this is also true of the mills bomb, they are intended to be used from behind an object, with a mills bomb this can conceivably be just about anything thicker than plywood, with a nuclear weapon you should probably at least find a decent berm. A tank - at least of the era - would be a *terrible* idea as the iron in the steel armour would be activated by the neutrons from the radiation, flooding the interior with gamma rays. This was the whole point of the Davy Crockett - the explosive yield was *tiny*, only about 20T (which would definitely change your plans for dinner if it went off next to you, but really won't cause much damage beyond 100m or so), but if detonated over a tank column coming through the Fulda Gap it would turn every one of the crews into extra-hot jerky. This was actually a bit of a surprise to the weapons designers who were trying to miniaturise nukes as much as possible and what then led to the Dead Kennedys-approve neutron bomb idea. More modern armour would fare slightly better - ceramic armour doesn't do much to *stop* the neutrons but it at least doesn't release as many gamma rays, and alloying the underlying steel with boron will harmlessly absorb a lot that make it through - but like I said, you want water (or dirt), and lots of it between you and the detonation, so a hill or a trench would be ideal, and if not just lay down on your front with your feet towards the blast (yes, your legs will probably fall off from radiation damage in a few days but better that than your heart or brain).

Weekend at Bojo's ** ITV4 22:25-00:15 2022, 15, Comedy/Drama Anarchic modern reinterpretation of 80's hit “Weekend at Bernie's”. Two hapless political advisers must keep their non-stop party marathon on the rails after finding their boss, the Prime Minister, completely unable to see or hear anything. Hijinks ensue as the stakes are raised and even the Queen begins to takes an interest! Feature scenes of sexual penetration and mass graves which some viewers may find distressing.

My local TOC has had a look at the number of passengers on its' routes and decided to take an axe to the number of services. But in true TOC fashion, they've apparently decided not to bother with actually looking at the data to make informed decisions about which services to cut. So my usual early morning train is now one of several plague carts, because the usual cunts can't be bothered wearing face masks and apparently my TOC were unaware that every train between 5:30 and 7:00 was reasonably full anyway. In that respect, I suppose it's just as well they're running 38-year old rolling stock, since these trains are so completely knackered that you don't even need to have the windows open to get fresh air, given the number of holes in the chassis. There's also - for those of you wondering - no evidence that they're sending cleaning crews onto the trains between legs, because who even cares about this whole corvid thing anyway?

James Slack left for a job at The Sun? Oh gosh I wonder why the (print) media hasn't been keen to report on the many millions of parties. The most difficult part of Johnson leaving No.10 will be trying to find a replacement who wasn't at one of them or didn't know about them. Who honestly believes that ther is a single Tory MP who didn't know that hundreds of people attended dozens of parties? But if anything does for Boris, it'll be the photo of the Queen sitting alone at the funeral. People who don't give a toss about strangers dying alone in a hospital where the staff had to wear bin bags bloody love the Queen. Nuclear chat: the threat isn't from warheads, it is and always has been from improperly handled civilian nuclear waste. In the last 40 years there's been an impressive number of hospitals killing patients by miscalibrating radiation therapy equipment and then disposing of said radioactive equipment by using it to build roads and houses.

He has no shame, and everything to gain by retaining power. He has no qualms about removing the whips off of anyone, even old Tory grandees, for daring to defy him, so I can easily see him ejecting the loudest voices from the 1922 committee. And to be honest, I wouldn't put it past him to attempt to pull some Reichstag event and implement some of the dormant emergency security laws to cling onto power. He really has no shame, and no moral compass, but has the ego the size of a planet and the emotional maturity of his son Wilfred.

Boris will not resign. And why would Tories vote against him for doing the same thing they'd long to? The polls show the scandals aren't denting party loyalty in the slightest (if a recent poll shows it I'll concede this point instantly as I just haven't checked them prior to posting).

I think it's actually quite consistent at the moment that the tories are polling absolutely dogshit and they did just eat poo poo in the last byelection too. If they don't get rid of boris I think they would probably lose the next election, the sooner they can get rid of him and try to find someone to give the impression of a clean slate for the party, the better for them.

The Tories def will turn on Boris. They will go 'Boris Bungled Brexit' and install someone who will do the exact loving same, or crazy enough to trigger Article 16. Covid delayed Boris getting ousted, if the brexit figures were the only thing being reported on he would be simpering on GB News now or lobbying for a Russian company.

Labour's tiny gains come from slightly less disillusioned people who are thinking that at least Starmer can't be worse than the Tories (they are wrong; Starmer is a Tory) and coming back now they sense blood in the water. If a snap election were to be called Labour couldn't possibly win it, but the Tories might lose it.
