I would prefer not to

Tired, old, a boring tit (Eric). Still a saluter of magpies. LUFC. Anarchist, anti-colonialist sort. Professional obsessions: building / construction safety and sustainability with the occasional soupçon of architectural theory & history

Depends what you’re into. Falls into the category of Hollywood trying to do indie. I’d put it slightly to the positive side of tolerable.

I was waiting til the end of February (after the City game and results around us) but I think we’ll know whether Burnley are down and we’re okay pretty soon.

Yes. Executing the rich, to see how we get on without them, looks the more straightforward option administratively.

‘Western nations’ = white excluding slavic?

I’m not really aware of the full history, but is it possible to argue that ‘Western civilisation’ as opposed to European civilisation is a US-driven construct? If so, can we ask them to leave now, please?

Ruined for me by it being the book I had to do for O Level. Already been filmed a few times so I don’t know why people keep hacking away at it.

Disappointing draw in that it would have been helpful if a couple of the CL posse had faced each other. No guarantee of a non-Prem team in the quarters.

Just walked past a woman picking up her dog’s turd and she looks at the dog and says, ‘Ooh, that’s a big one, you must feel better now’

Could we just fucking not, please?

Where was the village in the opening credits I wonder? Postgate had form in East Sussex IIRC

I genuinely don’t understand how you can have this much money and still look like you’ve just been copped out of a Spoons for pissing on the tables.

There are bits of HS1 out through the East London hinterlands with humble utilitarian 5m steel & concrete noise barriers and I can’t help but wonder whether that would have worked here. This is kind of charming though; just should have been black.

Just finished a load of drilling and sawing above head height, covered in crap.

She says Oh I’ll just get the hoover and dust you down. Had to offer a polite last minute reminder* not to extract my eardrums by force.

*Ok, possibly not that polite.

the 'fake plumber' conspiracy theory that the labour party and reform are spreading about hannah spencer is just rooted in the fact that she's feminine in her appearance and therefore can't possibly be a plumber or a plasterer.

it's just misogyny.

Bloke just jogged past me wearing a navy Clipper training top. Buggered if I can put a date to that one #lufc

Ha - I actually did knock Nick Cave over. I was walking towards the counter in Rounder Records as he was walking out and we contrived to get our feet tangled.

Explains the endlessly bleak lyrics about the search for God. He just can’t understand why people keep twatting him.

Obviously Rowling’s a wrong ‘un, but ‘delete your yacht history’ being the new ‘delete your WhatsApp messages’ is a pretty wild turn.
