Remember never to say "because in both cases they removed all the homeless from the area" because the libs don't like that.

I've (mostly) cleared stuff out of the cupboard under the stairs so tomorrow I'll swab it out with dettol and decide which apocalypse emergency stores go on which shelf. Also some stuff from the smaller cupboard can go into the attic too. And piles of books back on shelves so I'll have clear space on the floor. Moving stuff around my house started out like one of those sliding block puzzles but it's gradually getting easier as stuff gets chucked/donated...

I think I'll take the opportunity of washing my big fluffy throw in the communal washing machine on the assumption that most of the old dears will be watching the funeral and also our lift is out of action (because noone will come out until Tuesday to fix it - been out since Thursday apparently I wasn't here to know.) so some of them quite literally cannot get up there. Also, started making the frames to hold my tertiary insulation panels for the windows so carry on with that. Runcible Cat posted:Moving stuff around my house started out like one of those sliding block puzzles but it's gradually getting easier as stuff gets chucked/donated... My flat has been like that, gradually letting go of more stuff. Got rid of loads before I moved in, and in the last approx 18 months got rid of approx another 700 litres of stuff.

smellmycheese posted:Another absolutely classic clueless clunker of a tweet from a man the BBC holds up as an ancient wise man of world affairs. I saw somewhere it was about 750,000 in the queue. There were about a million in the anti-Iraq war demo I was on and someone said there were about 2 million on the 2nd EU ref demos. Monday: Around 250 extra rail services will run - including some overnight trains - and National Highways has suspended planned motorway closures across England. So railworkers not allowed time off for respects? Can't figure out if working or not working is respects.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:So railworkers not allowed time off for respects? Can't figure out if working or not working is respects. Presumably there is a kind of moral calculus at play, so the negative respect of the railworkers working is more than outweighed by the positive respect of the extra mourners.

On the plus side, it looks like my trains are running as usual - if National Rail Enquiries can be believed. Not sure I entirely believe it; but even if they are, I'm sure Greater Anglia will find a reason to delay/cancel my train anyway.

If you don't immediately Google every public person to see if where they went to school charges fees then I don't even know. (The answer is yes, yes they did)

I forgot to be deliberately silent at 8pm. I was actually silent, because I was eating my meal but it was accidental respect.Runcible Cat posted:I've (mostly) cleared stuff out of the cupboard under the stairs so tomorrow I'll swab it out with dettol and decide which apocalypse emergency stores go on which shelf.

I really need to sort out my store cupboards, and chuck a load of stuff on Ebay, but I never seem to have a good run of time to do it.
