    Election 2020

    I wouldn't be happy about it for sure. But I wouldn't read it as a breach of the HoC's 'sanctity' or pity any politicians who had to hide and tremble in a side room (and wouldn't be happy with media coverage that whipped up public sentiment to describe it as the worst thing since the Blitz) LOL...

    Election 2020

    If you''re into that, I get it. But I don't understand why ACAB/ 'fuck the system' types on Twitter are taking the same line. I would have been ecstatic if Class War types had done this instead of MAGA, but the Senate's full of corrupt scumbag politicians...why should we treat them with an ounce...

    Election 2020

    Unrelated, I was going to post this in the Japan thread, but seems a pro-Trump faction had their own mini-demo in Tokyo - which I REALLY can't get my head around 🙄

    Election 2020

    OK, am a bit confused. By the way, I'm not sticking up for the Trump lot. Though I agree with them that government offices shouldn't be any more inaccessible than a launderette, and I hope whichever kid reportedly lit up a joint in Pelosi's office gets off scot free (come on, we'd all love to...

    Election 2020

    I don't like all the language that's crept up around this. "Terrorists", "coup", "darkest day since 9/11", "riot" (LOL), "unprecedented", "sedition", "treason", etc. It was a bunch of yahoos milling around, probably more aggro at a Palace match. I don't know why the Left assumes the...

    Election 2020

    Do you really think he'll try to nuke China on the way out? Or would the impeachment just be a way of sullying his name for the history books? Have insomnia again. Every time I close my eyes, I see the viking in the Senate.

    Sweet Home Alabama vs. Werewolves of London vs. All Summer Long

    Sweet Home Alabama. I like the fact they slag off Neil Young. And their singer's better than Warren Zevon, who just talks his way though 'Werewolves'. I've got covers of SHA by Skrewdriver (pro-US traitors!) and Geto Boys.

    The Meaning of Japan

    There's a bloke at Hiroshima Peace Museum who has a US flag painted on his leather jacket and plays 50s RnR songs on guitar. I'm pretty sure he's there to remind US visitors, "It's OK, we still like you."

    The Meaning of Japan

    GERMANY?!?? Weird. I always saw them as the enemy. A country as dark as Hitler's heart. Every now and then I think I'd be right at home in Japan, but of course they'd never really accept me. And I think behind all the impeccable manners and cutesy behaviour, their bureaucracy wouldn't hesitate...

    Insomnia

    Yeah, I've had it in bursts since childhood. What I like about working from home is, if it happens now, I can set my alarm clock for 9am and just log on and take it easy all day. So even if I finally get half an hour of sleep at 8, it's something - otherwise I'd be heading out to the tube...

    If you had to live with a clone of yourself

    I kinda like the idea of an army of me marching into town (over a Burundi drumming soundtrack). But the thought of it's also making me sick - can imagine a mass brawl before we even got out of the door.

    Where to now?

    I've personally found DPD really friendly and efficient throughout 2020, and this has just made them soar in my estimation.

    Stray thoughts under partial quarantine

    To be honest, even if I cock it up, I'll look like Boris Johnson in two months anyway. A slovenly mess.

    The Meaning of Japan

    They do great subway posters, anyway, giving the impression you're about to enter Thunderdome...rather than a neat, well-organised transport system full of shy people (and the odd comatose, drunken salaryman who's just soiled his trousers)

    Stray thoughts under partial quarantine

    Yeah, it's easy. Just get one of those barber style sheets, like this: Then sit in front of a mirror with a pair of scissors and copy the one you like.

    Children

    Possibly...but also her being a nosy bag ;) I used to carefully tear Razzle into sections and stash the segments in LP sleeves.

    Children

    Do you know what I'd have given for a caring, loving mummy who clutched me to her breast when I had kid flu and made me soup and fussed over me? Instead of making me chew on a thermometer for an hour, eyeing me with suspicion, and then later opening my mail every time I ordered a zine?

    The Meaning of Japan

    Missed that thread - the WMAD sounds like Fabio with a purple belt. Presumably he can point to one of his hanging swords and tell you how deep you can lodge it inside a man's chest cavity.

    The Meaning of Japan

    The big thing I remember was robots: by 2000, we'd have automated passenger flights, replicant maids bringing you tea and toast, and realistic sexbots, and Japan would be spearheading it all. Anyone who grew up in the UK in the '80s would have caught clips of 'Endurance' on that Chris Tarrant'...
