  1. Russia and Belarus got kicked out of the ECHR. We’d be the only c***s to explicitly reject it. I didn’t think they’d/we’d be stupid enough to leave the EU, but here we are. There’s a toxic mix of arrogance, ignorance and exceptionalism fed by our gutter press, tv and online echo chambers that’s a perfect breeding condition for authoritarianism. I don’t think we’re there yet but it’s looking more like a question of “when”than “if”.
  2. In Cornwall last year they were trialling AI cameras that caught people using their phones, eating sandwiches etc and got them tickets. Expect they’ll get rolled out by LAs that need the income soon.
  3. As they’re not a breed which is formally recognised by the kennel club, I’ve compiled a list of characteristics that can be used to identify the the rangers fans. One or two of these may be present in normal people and they may not all be present in every sevconian but a full set is fairly conclusive: - bald - fat - eyes too close together - brown leather jacket - stupid and/or ignorant - leaving early If you encounter one please contact a steward. Do not attempt to batter one yourself unless you’re fully inoculated.
  4. Did Iceland give a shit about us when Arthur’s seat and largo law were erupting. No, they did not. f**k them, they knew what they were getting into when they built a country on volcanoes.
  5. Haggis can be superb, especially smothered in the capital’s chip sauce. But a bad haggis is really bad and they do seem easy to get wrong. a decent bit of fish freshly fried in a decent chipper though. No contest.
  6. Could well be. They do show a cost disposed of in there as well but it’s maybe more than one transaction.
  7. If you’re with my wife, tell her we need milk on her way home
  8. You can be, don’t worry. Our accounts will show a healthy profit this year, but that’ll also not be a very good indicator of how robust the finances are. Who was it you’ve sold for about half a million? Racking my brains here but can’t think
  9. Most clubs have cash in the bank at their balance sheet date because they account to June and have just sold a load of Season tickets. It would be misleading to think that’s in there all year round.
  10. “Does the prime minister agree that Netanyahu should be allowed to personally kill as many children as he likes?”
  11. ECHR to be under attack next. I can’t see it capturing the popular/ignorant imagination like the EU did but a quarter of a century ago I couldn’t envisage mass participation giving-a-shit about the EU, so who knows. Maybe thirty years as a fringe Tory and Tory press obsession might do the job on that too. The fact that being outside the ECHR wouldn’t have affected today’s decision is irrelevant.
  12. I wonder if the chancellor has figured out what effect this will have on prices yet. Seems churlish to not give Rishi the credit for the fall in global gas prices.
  13. Phone propped up against laptop screen. Can't be seen on camera (assuming you use the laptop one) and you look like you're really concentrating.
  14. To be fair, the ideas she wanted to implement included forced labour for benefits, gassing trade unions and privatising the atmosphere. It's all relative.
  15. I was well into my twenties before realising that "-san" was a Japanese suffix and that Mr Miagi wasn't calling the Karate Kid "Daniel, son"
  16. If there's only one car, sure. People just need to chill out when using the road and be a bit kinder. Apart from when some bellend overtook me when i stopped at the end of a row of double parked cars to let a taxi come through the other way. Fuckwit had the cheek to shake his head at me as he reversed back past me. I laughed at him, which was not kind.
  17. It is fine. Unless it's on a motorway or they're being careless. Stopping your car to wait for a minute won't hurt you. I wouldn’t do it unless I can't believe you were forced to stop. The heartless beasts. Thoughts and prayers. X
