Round the folks and my Mum's cousin is round.

We've just finished an argument about how "at least Africa worked under the British" and I honest to god got called a pinko.

Got the "Communism has never worked" crossed off earlier so only a few more squares to family fun times bingo.

Can't even booze up as I've got to drive back to London after midnight.

Hope all you goons are pissed up (if alcohol is your tipple) and ready to see in the new year.

I think it's amazing that your parents live in the 50s and also that you're driving from the US back to London.

See this is one of the rare cases where those Stephen Pinker Whiggery 'world illiteracy/poverty/child death' graphs work.

Because Africa under the British didn't work unless you mean for resource extraction.

Alternatively go for shouting Thomas Sankara quotes.

No one brought up Elon Musk year but I'll try to squeeze it in. We did move onto MRAs and he was waxing lyrical about all his mates who have been screwed over in divorces.

I like to think I was radicalising my cousin at Christmas by talking about how much I like that I can pay tax now I'm finally finished being a student and am getting paid. He's just turned 18 and it seemed the first time he'd ever heard the idea that taxes might actually be good.

Not quite 18, but by my mid 20s a good friend found out that her husband hadn't spent tens of thousands in various loans on a new business- he spent it on overpriced cocaine and underpriced sex workers and then when collecting evidence of the above she found child porn on his laptop

That was a pretty bitter divorce alright

Hey guys
Just want to say how great our NHS is. I’m stuck in a ward after breaking my shoulder and having an operation ( i’m now missing a party we planned for a few months).

The nurses have snuck my wife in with take out, so we can enjoy the new year together.

I might be also high on Morphine, but happy new year all.

Managed to divert a conversation about Apple to Musk wanting to go to Mars. That was much easier than I though it would be.

UKMT, why has it gotten so hard to buy a Visa gift card? Like, a prepaid card with say £50 on it which is accepted in all places Visa cards are accepted?

Used to make for an easy gift for my sister who I have no loving clue what she likes but went to 4 different supermarkets and found none. Every other giftcard imaginable but not one thats unattached to any store.

Because the primary supplied recalled them all recently for an unspecified legal reason and they haven't sent out replacements yet.

Mastercard however is still in operation.
