i'd watch it if it was true to life and there's e.g. an hour long episode just of people flapping about trying to get a heavily intoxicated boris johnson (played by gerard depardieu) off the toilet and ready for PMQs

I don't get the negativity: I'd just LOVE to see a sniggering, self-referential TV series, written about the London political-media bubble, and aimed at the London political-media bubble

Covid's probably hosed my immune system, I'm having my fifth feverish flu-type poo poo for the year and I don't think I averaged one/year before. Not ill enough not to enjoy this Express take though I'm sure this got posted but I really, really appreciate this brexit perspective. Apparently the article was originally titled "Scheming EU leaves UK out of 'landmark' transport plans as map shows betrayal"

They could just use modern technology to replace the faces on Yes Minister, Yes Prime Minister with up to date faces and it would still all work. Things in Westminster politics have hardly changed since the 80s.

Tesseraction posted:Heck yeah, maybe 2024 be the year of more lurkers coming and posting with us, the UK Manga Thread. I recently got the Shonen Jump app to catch up with One Piece, so I’ve been reading a fair amount of manga. I loved One Punch Man and Akane-banashi (about a woman’s quest to be the best at traditional Japanese stand up) but they’re not finished stories either

Ironically the UK will be paying for it via train ticket prices. As some of the private UK railway companies are owned by EU transport companies. See this old classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvagsSOlAy4

I have spent the entire day not looking at Twitter while trying to avoid spoilers for a wrestling show that happened when I was in bed. It's still annoyingly hard not to just go there while bored and browsing as a sort of reflexive movement. Fortunately I have finally started watching the All Japan MANIAx show so will be able to return to the hellsite forthwith. I say this because I really wanted to do a boomer moan about fireworks, rude to set them off while I have a post dinner nap.

Also come join the One Piece thread, every week we're just hooting and hollering about how Oda's done it again.

So the kids from the estate opposite counted down the New Year every minute six times until it was the actual one. Fireworks going off, which are nice, apart from the same estate assholes who are just doing bangers for some reason. And the fire alarm has just went of on the deserted shop down the road that usually takes an hour for them to come and turn off. But yeah, Happy New Year!
