Cheers for the new thread Guavanaut.

My sleep issue is I get a twitchy leg. It’s always the same leg, and it starts in my hip muscle (as you can tell, I am a medical man who knows all the right medical words).

Currently my only solutions are a) cursing my own existence and b) guzzling Rescue Night like a stressed teacher. Stupid bastard leg.

I have restless legs a lot, have you thought of a hitatchi or something? You can stick it up your arse if it doesn't help the leg.

I had not considered this. Definitely something to look into (not my arse) though, and would be a nice replacement for punching myself in the hip muscle bit.

I have personally simply got gud at sleeping at least in that respect so I can fall asleep while constantly kicking my legs.

Probably less practical if you ever intend to share a bed with another human being or cat/dog however.

I do occasionally do a bit of leg punching though yes. I assume blasting it with a clit obliterator 9000 will work even better.

The national dominatrix service is means tested so if you're willing to crawl over broken glass by yourself you don't need a dominatrix.

English Electric was already a thing and by complex lineage ended up as part of BAE Systems.

Although they already produced their own jet fighters so it wasn't that big of a leap.

Window shopping is nice IMO, it's like the other kind of shopping except you don't have to spend any money and you get 90% of the satisfaction you would get from most of the things on offer anyway.

I also probably would be satisfied paying 50 quid for a giant plate of grease and not having to eat the salad.

Salads really are kinda gross though. Vegetables are great but only cooked IMO. Salads all just taste vile to me.

Feathers are like fractal hairs, thus the feathered animal is the maximalist form of the haired animal, and thus, ideal.

If you dont eat salad you should hang out with me and let me eat all the bits of cucumber

Cucumber is a strange and terrible thing. Pickled it is nice, but raw it is rank and worse, contaminates everything it touches with an overpowering flavour of cucumber.

The work of a malevolent creator, certainly.

"Overpowering flavour of cucumber"

Y'know, I enjoy cucumber but I'm not sure anyone in human history has ever described it as having an overpowering flavour of anything.

That's what everyone else tells me but to me it has an extremely strong flavour to the point that it's the most noticeable component of anything with it in.

It is a bit random though, some cucumbers have it and others don't. Not sure if there's some weird variety or age related thing that I'm picking up.

I wonder if it's a genetic thing like the gene that makes some other greens taste like soap and poisonous alkaloids.

I do have a similar problem with coriander, can't eat anything with it in because all I can taste is the coriander and the coriander tastes absolutely foul. A shame because pho is otherwise delicious.

It's a similar kind of repellant taste too.

Sprouts are conversely probably my favourite vegetable, I wish they were an all year thing as I would never stop eating them. Don't even need seasoning or anything, just steam them a bit and I can sit with a a bowl of them and just munch them like popcorn.

I like to parboil then fry them as a substitute for chips or rice but I usually end up eating quite a number of them during the cooking process.

Cabbage on the other hand is dire, just sloppy, tasteless sprout.

I can see where you'd maybe get tinsel though, they do have a faintly metallic flavour, like liver or lamb.

I wouldn't stress too much about it, if someone tells you you have to choose between getting hit in the face or the dick it doesn't become your fault that someone is hitting you in one of them.

Building one of those lagrange point satellites to watch for big rocks coming at the earth might be a useful thing to do but I doubt he means that.

Its basically this. They are not a prominant enough party to have anything that was news worthy, and they dont have any candidates big enough to be really singled out for it, but it attracts the gammony sort and I have never heard anything good from them. Just "Everything was better before we knew that people existed outside of Yorkshire" sorts.

I imagine much of the rest of the country feels similarly about the existence of people in yorkshre tbf.

There is no alternative through the electoral system, you get him or you get the tories. One of them has to win even if everyone stays home.

There is something deeply, darkly funny about the UK paying millions of pounds to apply for an immigration agreement with Rwanda only for them to go "thanks for the money, application denied"

OwlFancier

I dunno I feel like this is an impressive level of embarassment for a government. Possibly worse than May's repeated fuckups with the EU because at least you could see those coming a mile off, this feels like Rwanda just completely took the tories for a ride.

This is the first one I've been able to actually laugh at though in a long time, as hopefully it might kill the policy and it's not really making things worse for everyone else.

If anything, by number 4 you should be quite good at doing it without an election.
