In France the deal was something like every contract had to be cancelled by sending a paper letter to somebody in Paris who replied to confirm it. I dunno something like that.

As jedit says as long as theres proof you cancelled and paid. But then they gently caress you over anyway and there's nothing you can do. I'm not just a number.

Huh. In an effort to save energy, as it was nice and blowy, I hung my washing on the line an hour ago instead of bunging it in the communal drier. Now I had to get it in as it pelted down with sloppy wet snow and shove it in the drier anyway - wetter than when it came out the machine.

On the positive note, I managed to crack the supervisor code for the machines in our mini communal laundry (most of us don't have room for our own washing machines in our titchy flats) and set up 'eco' washes with 20 and 25C wash temperatures. Now I just have to write instructions on how to find those programmes as I haven't figured out how to store them in the 4 programme buttons! (Already had to email Miele to find out how to save the programmes! It's easy when you know how - I didn't.)

Byelection or something and he apparently has to "earn every vote" which is either tautological or wrong depending on how you look at it. Also raises the prospect of the un-earned vote and whether earned votes should be worth more than un-earned ones.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
Voters aren't interested in my security, prosperity, respect branding!

They aren't interested in job security and prosperous wages?

We don't mean that.

Then they aren't interested in respecting people's decisions about their own bodies?

We don't mean that either.

Then what do you mean by security, prosperity and respect?

Oh, you know...

Can't get no luck.

Security means national security, so increased police and military spending. Prosperity means that everything the government does must be in service to The Supreme Number (FTSE 100 Index), and Respect means "Respect your betters, you loving plebs, you'll get what we give you and like it. We're in charge now.".

It's what's so loving frustrating, music is one of the few industries Britain actually does punch above its weight in. Some of the biggest recording artists in history are British & unless a band is manufactured on reality TV they have to start somewhere, and places just keep getting shut down to be turned into loving "luxury" flats, or because some bellend moved in above a venue that has been there for 4 decades & then complained about the noise.

I still mourn the loss of The Barfly in Glasgow which was down by the Clyde, pretty sure it was a casualty when a neighbouring listed building got mysteriously burned down so they could put up aforementioned premium priced flats for cunts & because of damage the building they were in had to be shut for years. Was a great little venue that could fit maybe 150, great location next to St Enoch's Square underground station, fantastic sound system & acoustics, all gone now.

Keep on thinking about how we're headed into the worst cost of living crisis in recent memory, Covid is running rampant, there's a war going on where we're arming Neo Nazis and the Leader of the Labour Party is out there trying to court Observer columnists and mediocre fiction writers over their pet bigotry. What an utterly bleak oval office Starmer is.

Also that he's probably being advised to do it by a man who was close personal friends with a notorious sex trafficking paedophile under the guise of "Protecting women".
