just remembered I still need to buy a Christmas tree, lol

Any recommendations for a small or sort of collapsible tree for a flat with not much space?

Fake ones where you slot the branches on layer by layer can usually be made more "space efficient" by just using one side or ever a quarter so you can have the tree flat against a wall or in a corner.

Or just go out and find a fancy looking branch https://www.upcyclist.co.uk/2017/12/natural-branch-centrepiece/

Happy 4 December - the 45th anniversary of the raid on Cynthia Payne’s house in Ambleside Avenue, Streatham, in which police found men (including, apparently, a Lord, an MP, and some vicars) queueing on the stairs waiting to pay for sex with luncheon vouchers, to all who celebrate.

Who'd want to have sex with a luncheon voucher? Bunch of pervs.

Continuing my thread tradition of stanning for Clive Lewis, here's an interview about a podcast on slavery and British colonial history he's done. It's quite good. I wish we had him, not Starmer.

Ollie: No, no, wait. Right? We say, "The Department of Social Affairs has been doing amazing work, bread-and-butter work, belt-and-braces work, the kind of work that you people aren't interested in 'cos it's not shiny, shiny, media-friendly stuff. You are so obsessed with how things play in the media, you sickos, that every time we try and do, you know, just carry on with our day, you don't show up. So we have to call a big, you know, thing like this."

Can Sunak even call an election without mps voting for it?

Maximum chaos. Call for an election, lose, remove the whip from all the MPs that vote against it, lose the confidence of the house and Keith becomes PM of a minority Labour government with Independent Tory support (and then calls an election)

Crisp chat, motherfuckers (courtesy of my friend Andy)




quote:

Jesus Christ, these were an experience. If the Devil were a crisp, this would be he. Note the government warnings on the top right corner of the bag. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this poo poo but these really are not for the faint of heart and I am surprised they can be bought legally in this country. They are saturated satanic red in colour and have so much flavour dust and salt on them I felt approximately one tablespoon of water evaporate from my body with each bite. They are hot as gently caress and left me with a mouth full of thick, poisonous, red saliva that looked and tasted like blood. They literally felt like they were damaging my body as I was eating them. By the time I finished the bag my mouth and fingers were bright red and my entire body shook with uncontrollable sobbing. I reckon if you ate a bag of these each day you would be dead within a week. All this and a subtle twist of lime. 5 out of 5.

They're fine as far as I know, didn't make a fuss about paying out when I wrote off my car years ago. Really I don't think there's going to be much to choose between them other than cost/terms.

I am half expecting Starmer to do the needful and step aside for Wes! before the election, but it'll be interesting if the lib dems are forced to as well because of this postmaster thing.

We already know the tories are going to stab Sunak in the back, so it'll be thoroughly odd going into an election where nobody knows who the gently caress anyone is.
