I hadn't considered that, gets more mysterious doesn't it?


I can't find any soups in 100ml containers online. I found some condensed shite, but that was in tins, and I can't see them breaking up in turbulence.


Was this powdered soup?


Nope. Curioser and curioser.

A very clear correlation between poverty and obesity - no surprise there - but not a universal one: Tower Hamlets, anyone? Lambeth?

As it happens, I finished reading the "Midwife" book just a few days ago. And while it does contain distressing scenes that one wouldn't find today, it also laments the decline in morality and community which the journalist conveniently sidesteps.

It is so comforting to know that after 15 000 years someone is here to waste our money explaining to us what the effects and uses of alcohol are.


They could have just asked these guys.


Whose greatest contribution must be this ?

'Everybody Else': Enjoys a drink and is fully aware of all the possible consequences. Reckons as long as the NHS is funded by their tax money, they'll do whatever they want and Dawn Primarolo can shut her fucking face.

I don?t mean to alarm anyone but everything is now fucked.


Completely and utterly fucked.


The scheming sociopaths who have been running Britain are doing their best to fuck it up even more so that its people are spread eagled, trousers down ready for the neo fascist who are soon to take power and oversee our brave new age of strangling corporate monopoly and curtailed, monitored personal freedom.


America is fucked.


Pakistan has exploded


So has Israel.


South Africa has taken one more major step towards becoming just another defunct, farcical African dictatorship.


We could have all been redeemed by a great big underground tunnel that may have created a black hole and sucked the entire bang shoot into non-existence. Unfortunately it?s broken.


And that?s all just from glancing at a few headlines.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
