Bees are also annoying. Although they didn't vote for Brexit, so there's that. edit: On this day in 1793, the Reign of Terror began in France. Some very annoying people were culled, much to their annoyance. tooterfish fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Sep 6, 2016 |

Bees are actually communists and great, wasps are the capitalists of the insect world and can gently caress off and die IMO. E:  Bzzzzz. Though I do wish that my hymenopteric comrades would refrain from getting stuck behind my blinds and buzzing loudly until I get up and shoo them back outside.

If you are a very boring person like me you can have a look at the provisional Boundary Commission recommendations for Northern Ireland that have just been published tonight to soak up some early boundary change tears http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-37281097 The Welsh commission is due to put out a provisional report next Tuesday which will be a bit more interesting, Wales is bring cut from 40 MPs down to 29 so that may ruffle some Labour feathers

Old people are more of an economically exploitative class, like landlords (poo poo, a lot of them ARE landlords), cynically and maliciously sucking wealth out of the young to make their useless, wrinkly old lives even more comfy and luxurious. Fighting back against them is no more than legitimate self-defense. In fact, I'd be in favour of a Purge style scenario where, one night a year, it's legal to break into houses and, if you manage to kill the owners, you get to keep the house. THAT'D solve the housing crisis, by god!

There's nothing wrong with being old as poo poo, as long as you realize "I'm old, time to gently caress off and get weird with it in the corner". Rather than, you know, wrap society around you like a comfort blanket and drag it into the grave with you.

Driving licence chat: I'm old and I passed my test years ago (it was a year that began with 19) but I've never had a letter telling me to renew my photo card.

Okay I've thought about it and over-100% inheritance tax seems like a great idea. Instead of choosing who'll get cash from your death in your will, you get to pick who has to give up some of the money they already own to the state. This is going to be fantastic

He's a good and incisive writer on politics who practises a radical new form of journalism involving visiting the parts of the country he's writing about and spending most of his time outside Westminster instead of sitting in a lobby bar yukking it up with MPs, yes.

He is a good writer, and his analysis is usually pretty great, but I always feel dissatisfied with his conclusions. The one in this piece seems to be 'Corbyn's internationalism is wrong, he should seize onto the nationalism that is brimming in the country', and while there may be an undercurrent of racism and xenophobia in it, that seems to be what the new working class precariat want, so run with it. He ignores the role of the media in framing the left, and that has an influence on the way that traditional left-leaning voters perceive it. He also starts the piece by going on about the collapse of left wing parties, and concludes by saying that Labour should support proportional representation, because that would fix its problems, but ignores the fact that the countries he lists at the beginning all have proportional representation, and due to an atomisation of politics, are unable to create stable coalitions (Spain being a perfect example).

Well, it's not really a case of people buying something that they know is an imitation, it's that you're paying over the odds for a knock-off that could potentially be unsafe. For example: - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35075642 The BBC posted:Fake Nutribullet explodes in safety test after four seconds Counterfeits can actually be quite problematic, whether we're talking about cosmetics containing arsenic, products with electrical defects, fake medicines etc.

For example: - One of the weirder research bids I've considered applying for was a means of automatically detecting fake olive oil by shining a laser through bottles of the stuff and looking at the characteristics of the refracted light. Apparently bottling lovely olive oil as expensive stuff or even adulterating it with other oils is big business.
