A migrant from twitter, with a tinge of regret for what it has become, and a hope that what it had will not be completely lost.

New Year Office Chitchat
 
How was your Christmas?
you ask

and I think 
of the bloodstained rug

and the silent scraping
of the spade

in the garden
at midnight

and the wash wash
washing of my hands

and the dreams,
those endless dreams

which haunt
the night-time

and smudge
their thumbprints

on the day
to come

and I reply
Super, thanks. Yours?

This poem is dedicated to anyone heading back into work and having to endure dull conversation about what they got up to during the Christmas holidays.

Last-minute gig idea! A knock-off VHS that looks a bit like a classic Disney cartoon:

No. It's called a backpfeifengesicht.

Maybe that makes it more likely (not that I particularly want it to happen).

There is so much to admire in the writing of this piece, in marked contrast to the subject matter. Lovely pay-off too (ironically).

Their bounce from the start of the season has definitely gone. Like you say, seen it before. Sick of seeing it.

There has been much talk from the coach about players being brave. When is this planned to start?

I think we have players who can be a lot better than they are currently showing. One of the things that can point to is coaching.

Not sure it would have ever worked out, knowing that story. He always wanted goons so it wasn't really anything like close.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

I think the thing for me about Labour and the Tories saying that the Greens 'wouldn't do things right' is that we've tried austerity, anti immigration approaches, brexit, ignoring the environment and not properly taxing wealth and THAT hasn't worked has it?

An interesting way to counter the claims that bike shelters are ugly: make them ugly, but in such a way that they will blend in. The same goes for all the arguments about waste of space etc.
