My twitter is full of very angry Swans fans. At least the new manager has very low expectations.

It's hard to care for them - I wouldn't feel guilt chucking a rat from my balcony - it'd probably survive anyway. .. and yet when we all saw those baby Pandas it's awwww - what we like and hate is ingrained, and it's not rats ;)

20mph isn't too bad - we're not down to 4mph yet and I rather like this law .. legislators unanimously passed a bill through both houses of the state legislature, which would require all motorists piloting their "horseless carriages", upon chance encounters with cattle or livestock to (1) immediately stop the vehicle, (2) "immediately and as rapidly as possible ... disassemble the automobile", and (3) "conceal the various components out of sight, behind nearby bushes" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_flag_traffic_laws

as long as they don't think you're three different people

Quick response to pressing the control shouldn't be much to ask

Didn't Corbyn say she may be able to talk the talk (referring to her speech outside No10) but no way could she walk the walk as the Tories represent the privileged few. Thought that bit wasn't bad.

Wow - I remember when the TIVO box was the thing. Virgin have ruined it in the UK. The US Tivo still looks good https://www.tivo.com/

Anyway depends on personal stomach I suppose.

As I feel I am now at breaking point also, I won't be answering any calls or responding to comments.

I think we should avoid that bus lane - will create more traffic in the right hand lane but it's never too bad there (maybe worst when Dulwich play at home). For a while I thought it was only weekdays (no ticket though, so was lucky).

The media will do a hatchet job on all Labour leaders that aren't in their pockets

It's that old mathematical issue of in a classroom how many people have the same birthday. Lots of holidays I seem to run into someone I know - seems statistically probable IMHO.

Wouldn't queue 3 hours for anything now - I did when I was younger though.

Bishop :) Maybe too busy gossiping about football to see what's around me.

Where were you ?

Running commentaries on MLExit are not allowed.

I think we should go for a clean break .. of Boris's arm. (not really of course ;) )

I don't do them but I'd suppose management have the right to try something(i.e. establish the atmosphere they are trying to portray for the place) before whatever will be will be.
