Stupid bastard leg.

I have a small patch on the front of my left shin which 'triggers' that Im being touched there as if its a spider or insect crawling over it.
Used to hate it a lot as a kid, and can ignore it at will now. But sometimes it wakes me up, instantly thinking there is something in the bed with me.

I’m glad you can ignore it at will now, because that sounds like a nightmare, I wonder what causes that? Some kind of vestigial early warning system? And in bed with you in a fun times way or in an AAAAARGH way?

Thanks. Its not constant, and not a SUDDEN POKE like feeling, more that it was already there and is 'moving' across the skin. As a kid, it was more often, and it would catch me sometimes and I would look down and try to see what was on my leg, but usually I'd just scratch it with the other leg As for sleeping it can get me sometimes, confused sleepy freaking out something just walked over my legs.
gently caress knows what causes it, nerve damage, brain wiring mixed up, aliens, take your pick.

Sprouts, broccoli, coriander, cucumber and celery are all good imo. I made braised celery recently, came out pretty nice. Celery simmered in garlic and stock.

The thing that ruins food for me is cumin. Awful sweaty taste. Annoyingly I can detect minuscule quantities of cumin or cumin-like flavours.

Was recently reading that Brussels Sprouts taste different now than a decade or two ago, they have bred out the slight bitter taste it used to have.
Celery is great for a soup or stew as a filler that doesn't alter the taste much.

My pal enjoys telling the story from his grandparents funeral, when cousin's he hadn't seen in decades crawled out of the woodwork to rend their garments only to find out all the money was being split between the family member's who'd looked after her and a local charity. They didn't even bother to stay for the wake.

My family did something similar but when the person was still alive.
My grandmother had a really bad stroke, and while we were in the hospital they turned up and were 'clearing space for the wake' which involved moving all the expensive looking poo poo to their house.
She survived for another half a year, and they 'helped again' for the wake with the rest disappearing never to be seen again.
My grandfather was still alive at the time and sill there in the house.

I mean they can't kick the can down the road much longer, but another unelected PM during this parliament absolutely can happen.

Dunno that I expect it to, the Tories surely cannot be that daft. The chalice is well and truly poisoned, it'd have to be a deluded idiot who wants it. I suppose they have plenty of those tho

You're not thinking like a Tory.
They don't see it as a poisoned chalice, unless they had an iota of care on how the country works.
It's all about personal gain. And for some this is the last time they are within getting that next tier of grifting.
The £8000 after dinner speeches, foreign investor invites to get your favour is some deal coming up, the amount of bribes from down the hierarchy desperate for an honor.
Sure they'll be there for less than a year, another 5 after if they are lucky, but they get the pension, and book deal for doing gently caress all and blaming it on every one else.

Absolutely useless, still have mine and still has various teachers writing 'is ok but could do better' in different ways.

I can only assume that Sunak has a bigger humiliation fetish than Truss, because otherwise why is he even still in the job?
He keeps getting clowned on by some of the biggest morons ever elected to public office and his response is to smile and nod and backtrack to say something else he knows at least one group of morons will object to on principle.

Hes only there to be the conduit for other millionaires and billionaires to get their oar in on any contract or knighthoods they can.
Remember he was in the US talking with their healthcare and insurance corps while Truss was loving things up.
He could be getting poo poo thrown in his face, but he knows hes getting a gravy train carriage the size of Westminster when he goes.

Left school the first chance he got.
Next time saw him, was on Northern Ireland Question Time, part of Young Sinn Fein, wearing a green tweed jumper asking a question to the panel.

I watched that Rebel Moon film on Netflix and it's one of the most weirdly-bland films I've watched in years.
The script feels like it was written by an AI trained exclusively on cliches and everything else feels like they just grabbed an assortment of genres and IP-knockoffs and threw them into the mix.

Most people could tell you that combing bad facsimiles of Warhammer 40K, Vikings, The Magnificent Seven and Star Wars would be a really bad idea, but it seems like no-one involved cared enough to give a poo poo.

It was an actual Star Wars pitch film script from Synder that was rejected.
