Kief stronk!!! Labour should have used the Michael D Higgins quote in Irish: 'Ní neart go cur le chéile' – There’s no strength without unity. I'm sure it would have worked even better with the gammons.

My music tastes range from Midnight Oil ('Beds Are Burning' is NOT their only loving song ffs!!!) to Dave Brubeck. But country & western music should be wiped from the racial memory of humanity or restricted to the USA (the Irish version is particularly horrid, i was subjected to a whole night of Hugo Duncan when i was working in the hotel kitchen decades ago).

Losing the Gulf Stream is like letting go of a hosepipe that has been turned on full blast; it's spraying like hell but there will be zero predictability as to where the water goes and for how long. If it goes it will take a long time for it to settle into a new stable state with absolutely no guarantee of any benefit to humanity... good luck farming in that event. 'It will be Biblical' seems like a decent definition of the outcome.

Mask on is going to be my default setting for the next few years, cuts down on other afflictions plus covid and i don't have to put on a fake half smile all the time to avoid weird looks (for some reason my resting face looks as sour as a bag of lemons even though i'm not that internally).

Still got Sharwoods noodles (technically noodles) i bought in 2016, i eat the odd packet but they are mainly my fall back for the oncoming food shortage. Throw some scallions & olive oil into them and they do the job well enough.

Covid; the new Tuberculosis.... not that the old one is truly gone. Booze talk; not had a drink since January but with the 12th coming up here in glorious Norn Irn i will see if they are selling any very cheaply priced spirits in Tesco/Lidl this Friday, i may or may not get a bottle... i'm not even protestant but cheap is cheap. My own addiction is food but no matter what it is for everyone else; the fight goes on; to strive, to seek, to find..... and not to yield.

CGI Stardust posted:back when Long Covid first made an appearance I was hoping the seeming commonalities with ME would maybe lead to both being taken more seriously, some research done, find out if there's anything common and whether they're treatable (also maybe getting rid of doctors who don't believe it exists or think it's shorthand for "lack of willpower"). but nooooope, it's falling into the same pit, isn't it? "here's some people who say they've got it. my, how terrible. now, to forget all about it" My sisters hubby has M.E., he had to fight that poo poo for years.

Danger - Octopus! posted:I used to live really near a 24 hour supermarket and honestly unless you needed to buy stuff they could only sell during regular hours i.e alcohol, then going shopping really late or in the very early morning was great if it fit with work/lifestyle. Just peace and quiet, and no messing around with queues. Loved it. When i was working i loved doing my shopping after nightshift, 7:30 and nobody but shelfstackers and a few like minded shoppers. For the first three months of the covid restrictions i got to drive on practically empty roads when they used to be crowded man that was relaxing.

My 12th July in Norn Irn went reasonably well, Lambeg Drum noise was limited by distance thankfully and my next door neighbour gave me a glass of vodka as he thought why should it only be Orangemen who get to enjoy a lovely day, we also celebrated our mutual escape from English triumphalism over a game of football (it's not the players but the media that we detest).  Now i can return to my utter hatred of the Tories in peaceful solitude.

Still got loads of Sharwoods noodles from 2016 that i'm slowly working through (taste the same as always). Thought it was going to be bad last year, guess my timing was off and now i'm working through my stores. I personally avoid foods containing tomatoes/sauce as it can corrode the tins/lids from the inside, strangely worse than pickled foods.

An eminently relatable post indeed. It's too damned hot and i'm taking three short cold showers a day so i don't melt and become a huge greasy blob on the carpet. Norn Irn is not usually so meltable but it does bring back fond memories of 1976; the tarmac melting and me driving my Matchbox F1 cars through the sticky black goop with great delight.
