It's Springtime For Charlie and Coronations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFXm-N_24bA

With exciting new coronation dishes!


And lots of genealogical trivia!

Like except for most people it's less than half of that, and for Charles it's probably 23 or something

And a week of free TV, ending poverty!

Labour NEC also enjoys a good coronation

No Obvious Flaws



I see one of those mental health boxes in my Facebook / Instagram feed often and sometimes think about signing up.

They are from Mind and are £7.50 a month from what I can remember, and include sort of crafty things you can do and make stuff.

Alas, £7.50 is a lot of money, and I'm not convinced it is worth it.

We need memorable starts for the seasons for when they stop working properly. But I do see DesperateDan's point that there's an advantage to being able to tell by celestial means for when the calendars stop working too.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

If they do it to anyone less involved it's not interesting, if they do it to anyone more important then two police officers taking part in a non-disclosable training exercise led by retired SAS Captain Cecil Murderer find them having died of autoerotic asphyxiation in their own home.

Probably some level of celebrity jealousy yeah, and I suspect Hancock is not widely liked generally. But it's probably mostly because he's now no longer in a position to be a useful idiot, so the right are going after him for doing too much during the pandemic. Oakeshott, who leaked the messages, seems genuinely unhinged, particularly on covid. That Hancock gave her what appears to be a full dump of his WhatsApp messages without bothering to check them is utterly bizarre.

Less jealousy & more I'm A Celeb anger. Politicians are already hated & doing something like that when you're meant to be in parliament makes that worse. Although Matt Hancock not being in parliament actually makes things better for most people in the country

Went to Brighton to the tattoo convention over the weekend. Looked for poop tomatoes, couldn't find any.

Lots of very drunk, angry, fighty people, loads of homeless people and eye-wateringly expensive food though. Which I assume is the default state of seaside towns at the moment.

Was all a bit sad and depressing. Also the default state of seaside towns in the off season.

Bought some rock. Got a lovely tattoo and discovered that my Romanian tattooists idea of "not drinking" is to only buy 16 cans of beer to take back to the hotel.



I also am fat and cannot eat less cake or exercise more and it blows.

Just had a horrible moment where the head of retail at a large childrens charity told me we’re turning into a “snowflake nation” with people moaning and crying about nothing. He’s a white guy in his mid fifties so fits the profile somewhat. Have you seen this morning about making Tinkerbell black, he said.

“THEY WANT TO loving GROW UP”

“THEY WANT TO COME AND WORK IN MY OFFICE TRYING TO IGNORE A BLACK AMBULANCE PULLING INTO THE KIDS HOSPICE”

“loving Tinkerbell, they can gently caress OFF”

Phew. Wondered where he was going with that!
