As the hour approaches, I'll darken the room and pull all the curtains tight, fish a razorblade from the cupboard and queue up Steinvord. As 23:59 passes into 00:00 I will jizz myself and slit my wrist in perfect sync with *that* bit from Maelstrom. Thus I will summon the antichrist

I was given a $1500 bonus. Grand, right?* Except that they've owed me $7,000 for about eight months, and there's still no sight of it. I just got neoliberalism'd *more like grand and a half ROFLFLOL

with added squonks and chirps

I've always lived by the smell test - I'll happily keep, and eat, things well past their sell-by date as long as they smell/taste/look alright. Cheese? Cut the mouldy bit out, the rest is fine you wuss. Pasta? Don't be dumb, pasta never goes off. But today I met my match. Natural yoghurt. It smells and tastes sour anyway. I've done a couple of really weird shits this morn

Yanqui cheese and chocolate tastes like plastic. yo

Welsh is strong in Gwynedd and Ceredigion (i.e. where Plaid gets votes) which are more sedentary and rural. In the South there's a much more mobile and better connected population, so there's a lack of transmission between generations. It's slowly coming back though thanks to more emphasis in schools Lovely language, I don't speak it but am very familiar with it. I grew up right on the border, English village with a Welsh name, if I lived two fields over I would have learnt Welsh at school

Can When Back is great. There 'a bit of dross in here lol, but you could def compile 1 or 2 albums of bangers from all this material

Their stance on Brexit is kinda theoretical - they'd cancel the whole shebang if they won a majority, which isn't likely. But if they did, then that would presumably be on the basis of a strong remain turnout, in which case just cancelling it isn't an outrageous idea. Realistically, in any coalition scenario they'd push for another referendum. This'll be the last UK election I can vote in, been out of the country for almost too long. Last vote like all my others is going to the LDs. They used to rule my county with an iron fist until the MP got caught banging an SAS bloke's wife lol

It's interesting to think that, the whole underpinning of our system of economic liberalism is that open market activity is a maximization of free choice. But IMO, free choice as a concept can become a bit shaky in our modern context where several generations have been born and raised in an environment that is saturated with broad spectrum marketing. Are your choices really your own when advertising has influenced your very upbringing? (I assume I've pinched that line of thought from Adam Curtis somewhere)

You've had nearly a year to chew over 2018's releases. What's your fav track?

didn't realise the Edwardians had such a good crack at alleviating famine. Pax Britannica?
