Three things.

1) That song is a cover from a 1970's French band called King Harvest.

2) Thin Lizzy did a far better Dancing In the Moonlight based song.

3) When the song got big and was played on the radio, the version used was the Stargate remix, featuring a musician called Stargate*
And I, as a dumb teenager thought they were singing about the TV show Stargate SG-1.

(Doing the Craig David/Jason Durello/Pitbull thing of singing their name at the start of a song.)

I'd see a dermatologist about that, frankly.

Normally for breakfast I would always have Weetabix with the occasional foray into Oatibix when I need a little bit of a change. Unfortunately right now I'm in Germany, where the only breakfast cereal is sugar-encrusted muck like Lucky Charms and is quite correctly placed in the candy section. Over here it's sausage and cheese for breakfast, which my German friends have got a laugh out of me calling "die Wurst-Käse-Szenario". So I'm pretty much scrambling for anything resembling bread without either of those two products and hunting down a half pint of milk to wash it down.

Germany does, however, have something the UK chiefly lacks, which is good Turkish pizza hovels. I just ate a very nice 8" sucuk pizza that was made on the spot for me for the princely sum of 6€, and promptly belched the opening bars of Also Sprach Zarathustra in appreciation.

And as a fourth thing, even the King Harvest version was a cover. A relentlessly poo poo song just being shat out over and over again

When I worked in Germany (1978) breakfast was fresh hot Brötchen (bread rolls) with very liberal quantities of quark (sort of soft cheese a bit like fromage frais) & honey or slices of cold sausage or cheese.

Laurence Fox did a whiny video complaining about the police raid, which isn't worth watching, but he's doing the usual thing about making himself out to be a victim. The good news is that he's talking a lot about potentially having to leave the country :toot:

If hes out on bail they could nick him for this. As farcical as it is and its obvious he doesnt mean it but its still over the line for fleeing the country.

He's on quite strict bail conditions apparently. He mentioned he's legally not allowed to talk about the ULEZ pirates or whatever they are called, and maybe a few other things, but I was skipping his rambling.

But yeah, flight risk is serious business. He's also editing that tweet a lot, so I screenshotted one of the more incriminating versions and posted this tweet

It's true though. The land sales are one huge part, but you can't just spin huge projects back up.

Massive engineering teams don't just go on sabbatical for two years. The Alstom factory in Derby that now has no trains to build won't keep it's 2,000 employees - those people will all have different jobs in a year.

The Tories can (and will) salt the earth on this with relative ease.

The way they'll salt the earth is with Euston. No grade separated junction, 6 platforms and sell all the adjacent land to developers. Means you have a corridor designed for 18tph in each direction, plugged into a station that can at best turn around 12 trains per hour. And absolutely no chance of ever improving that.
Plan was to bury a couple of TBMs under Old Oak Common so they could do the final drive into Euston once the station fracas had been sorted. Thousands of years from now, archaeologists will find those.

I just don't get how both Parties are so aggressively loving bad at literally everything.

Is it just really as simple that they're always trying to hide how shittily corrupt and bought they all are, but they're just a bit too thick to pretend to be genuine about anything?

I eat a kefir or gut health yoghurt and a spoon of peanut butter for breakfast. Maybe some fruit or granola if I feel fancy and hungry. Usually a cup of earl grey tea and a pint of water.

Then I take amphetamines and start doing the moves. Mostly in excel. Sometimes in python.

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.

Toast has a time limit. You gotta eat it in like I dunno a couple of minutes.

Like not the same but yeah I've brought some ice cream from home, I'll have it after lunch. No that's a puddle.
