I went to the shops and I shouldn't have because I ended up sitting for 40 minutes in the freezing cold waiting for the bus home, despite trying to drag out my time in Tesco for as long as humanely possible. Been home for half an hour, still feeling loving frozen. Getting old is poo poo. Once upon a time I'd have cut about in that in my t-shirt quite content.

There is a very light dusting of snow in London, so you can avoid watching the news tomorrow because you know what it'll be. Meanwhile people in Cornwall are being eaten by yetis.

Damnit why do you guys only do milkchat when I'm busy. The big milk bags were a thing for a couple of years, about a decade back, it was supposed to be an eco-thing initiated by the big dairies. They manufactured a special jug thing that was sold alongside it, where you just drop the bag in and it snips the corner off in the mouth/nozzle bit & clips the bag in when you close the lid. Trouble is, it's the supermarkets that set the prices for milk (including with their suppliers, the dairy industry's a poo poo gig) and they tend to use it as a loss leader anyway, so there wasn't really any room to offer them any cheaper so no fucker bought them - they sold a bit in the posh supermarkets, but just weren't worth the shelf space in most of them, and the whole project didn't even pay for the machines to package the milk. Another eco-fact from my brief stint working on efficiency poo poo at a dairy: the open fridges in the cafeteria consumed as much energy as every other non-production power source in the factory put together. We're talking a dairy with enough workers to populate a small town, with every computer & light running 24/7, plus a bunch of lab poo poo on the same circuits. If you want to reduce carbon emissions, stop loving around with innovative milk bottle designs that nobody wants and loving ban non-closing fridges.

I've just come back from the Streatham Labour amm vote, which we won. This has given me a realisation. If Chuka can't win in his home constituency, with his entire organisation working for him, with all the unions and affiliated groups on his side (but not on his side if you see what I mean), what loving chance does he think he has winning a referendum?

I was listening to the new statesman podcast today (yeah yeah I know I know, but Stephen Bush seems to know what's going on inside the labour PLP) and they were basically saying that 2nd ref is dead, and what's likely is a compromise on May's deal also good that Khukka got hosed over

Can something be dead if it was never really alive to begin with? Like seriously nobody killed the 2nd referendum they just bottled it.
