Happy 2021 goons. I'm glad you all got through 2020, much love to those of you with friends/family who didn't.

I look forward to this government using up all of the country's doses of the Pfizer vaccine while making nobody immune. It will take true Tory innovation to continue making each year worse than the last, but they're up to the challenge.

I think I could gather a few dozen persons of shot and pike and take *checks land list* Anders Holch Povlsen who looks like a bad goon who got banned from the forums. Can anyone confirm/deny?


Not sure you'll be able to take him, he looks like he has a big old stash of adrenochrome to call on.

Happy New Year goons, hope that your 2021 is less loud, bright and moving slightly anticlockwise than mine has been so far.

Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience. And their ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider. So actually I think it is good that we are using the vaccine against manufactuer guidelines.

I'm paying hundreds of pounds for some traffic lights for a couple of days in a week or so. They'll come on a truck or whatever and set them up and take them away after but we could have a roving fleet of traffic light drones zipping automatously about the country to take up temporary traffic light roles as and when needed. Even in real time for motorway accidents. Be much cooler.

London is in Tier 4 so the only angle (that matters) is the TV camera.

We just never bothered having it under control.

Almost back over 1,000 deaths per day.

Imagine if we'd handled it competently at the ports in February.

Yep, we had the opportunity to lock down the country like NZ did way back in March but the Tories, SNP and the rest hosed it.
