I'm here and I'm ready to hoot and holler at politics. It's good again.

I'm going back to the gym today which I think I sorely need. It's a local leisure centre that I live near which is handy.

The other four Mambos must not be played. The first one summons locusts, the second one turns water to blood, we never found where the test subjects we got to play the third one went, and the fourth one's just kind of sucks.

Tory conference looking lively



Stuff like this makes me really mad and confused about the Tories remaining a force in this country. Nobody's excited for their ideas (if they have any at all) and not a single person I've talked to seems to like any of the public facing figures or the things they've said. The institutional power this subset of guffawing private school wankers is crazy.

But also, lol @ the Tories

If you need a break from usless centrist posters or the Tory conference, WDTATW's 100th (definitely 100 shhh) episode is about Alpha Centauri and the politics of the game and factions therein, which made me not dislike that game for about twenty minutes. I recommend it!

I have been saying for the longest time: all people involved with sport should make minimum wage. Owners, athletes, everyone. Watching sport does not enrich the mind or provide any benefit to society than provide bullshit tribalism.

Sports provide a way for people to be active, a central pillar for communities to form around and share experiences, and a moment of relief from the crushing grind of the workday, you useless whinging rear end in a top hat. Christ I don't even like sports that much and I can see the positive benefits they can bring.

The DUP should not decide who rules Britain. MPs should vote for Johnson’s deal, and those who dislike its details should save their fight for the transition. Exit now would at last draw the Brexit poison from daily politics. It would lift the threat of no deal, and hopefully open the door to a calmer negotiation of Britain’s European future. It is time, surely, to end this agony.

Its Brexit forever now, I'm afraid. Brexit until the end of time. leave or stay, all anyone will ever talk about is Brexit. The agony will never end.

A pre xmas election only makes me sad because I'm probably still going to be too ill to do leafleting or letter folding or whatever they get people who are too socially awkward/anxious to do other than doorstepping


I haven't heard it called that, but from experience of greasy spoons/independent sandwich shops, terminology is quite varied and unique with sandwiches named after patrons or local landmarks etc



Such as this morning's wonderful treat could be equally called a fried egg slice or egg in a basket to me, but "bullseye eggs", "eggs in a frame", "egg in a hole", "gashouse eggs", "gasthaus eggs", "hole in one", "one-eyed Jack", "one-eyed Pete", "pirate's eye" and "popeye" are all other names for it according to google
