It's completely ridiculous from Trump, but made up lies on the other side make the criticism look weaker imo.

Yeah someone tried measuring it from a screen grab and got 110. As ridiculous as I generally find Trump I found his explanation reasonable. In fact I've often criticised BoJo for not using handrails when they are clearly there for a reason, but it would make him look weak on twitter.

There was a good line in one of the weekend papers to the effect that 'the USA is becoming a gerontocracy'. When you look at the Dem primaries, the Majority house leadership (Pelosi), the Majority Senate leadershp (McConnell) and Trump, it's a fair point.

Had a fairly weird dream last night, been having a few of late but I normally can't remember them once I wake up.
This one is still fairly vivid although some details are a bit hazy.
I had moved to New York (on my own) and I was working and living with two lads I used to work with in a previous job. I'm still mates with them so nothing overly weird there but I was now single and we had a pretty cool gaff in NYC and our office was a rather nice plush affair, although I'm not sure what we were actually working at, it didn't seem like we were doing what we normally do.
Then, I get a call from RDIII, he had just moved to New York for work also and he invited me out to meet him in his offices. Now, I say offices, but they weren't your normal conventional offices. He was working in essentially, what was a stately manor. If you can picture the house in the TV show 'Trust' where Jean Paul Getty lived, you'd be right on track. There was lots of offices but they were all in really old large rooms, you know the type, lots of books shelves, all wooden paneling on the walls, old school desk, big leather armchairs, decanters of whiskey/brandy - all that jazz.
When I got there, the Duke told me he had to confide something in me. He had found two small offices in the mansion that didn't make sense. They were both very small and one had the title of 'Dept of the Environment' on it and the other had the 'Dept of the Economy' on it. He had gone into both of them but in each there was just one small desk, totally out of kilter in decor with the rest of the buildings and each office only had one person, both of which were elderly women who said they were secretary's but that nobody else worked there and that the Duke shouldn't be there.
RDIII also told me he took this info to his CEO (who he introduced me to). the CEO was a very elderly gentleman, who dressed like he lived in the 19th century, he was a fairly large round man who was well into his 60's (if not older) who sported a perfectly manicured goatee and mustache that almost curled back into itself. He had a monocle and an old school watch on a chain that sat nicely in his left breast pocket.
Anyway, RDIII told me that his CEO told him that those offices were none of his business and he was best to stay clear of them. he was quite stern about it which had surprised the Duke. As a result, he had did some digging and he was fairly sure that his company was bribing government officials, most likely to illegally dispose of hazardous materials. He now wanted me to help him catching them doing it
And, then I woke up.

No matter what you say you sound angry and I can barely pronounce anything, mostly the only things I can say are the curses for some reason.

Old boss was Hungarian. Agree it’s Klingon.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To...

Nice idea. 12 minutes long. The first 8 minutes is of how nice and clear everything is in the run up to the day - the room, all the staff smiling and helpful. Then the lady goes into surgery. She's a wee bit nervous but also nicely drugged up and generally looks like she's off to a fun day out. AND THEN the last 4 mins of the video starts with her being greeted in bed a few days later for a nice breakfast, going for a walk, meeting her friends, and out she goes to her happy new heart life. Cue uplifting music.
I think I speak for all potential patients with the doubt that maybe the three days cut from the journey in the film around the operation itself are rather critical to our reassurance of how to perceive the whole event.

Almost everyone is -inho in Brazil. It's essentially Seanie, Deco as well as literally being "little" Sean. Adding -ao at the end of a name is the opposite (Big Sean) but its less common.
The best one though is footballers who use first names but not surname as they are long and double-barrelled from both parents. So the first name appended based on what state/city they came from. Anyone with Paulista is from Sao Paulo and Gaucho (literally cowboy) is from Rio Grando do Sul.
Ronaldinho is commonly referred to Ronaldinho Gaucho in Brazil. Although there's only one Ronaldo in Brazil - Ronaldo Fenomeno because he's the only "real" Ronaldo, who was a phenomenon. The lesser known Portugeuse lad is always Cristiano Ronaldo or just Cristiano.

Trump spent most of the time on the back foot whining about the media talking about his way of drinking water and walking down ramps.
Some of the people who did turn up are going to get covid out of it.
Trump is going to fire a campaign manager for not being able to lie about protesters causing no one to show up.
No batshit crazy policies, no wall, no email servers, no Soros ate my homework or sleepy Joe shite. That all sounds like to me like a major fightback and shifting of media media attention.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostLooking like a new election. Real pity as that Programme for Government was class. Probably the most ambitious thing seen in many many election cycles. Maybe because I'm not a politician but I don't understand how green party members are not really excited about the opportunity to implement the things they've spent four decades campaigning for. It's obviously not everything they want, but its so many things, and as a smaller party there's always going to be compromise. Hopefully they just run a quick election and sort out some sort of stability. I guess with FG as the larger party in a FG / FF coalition, but retaining a lot of the green policies as they're clearly so popular. Hard to see Greens not losing seats, as I'd imagine a lot of their voters last time are not too comfortable if they are proxy voting for SF. SocDems too who've proven themselves completely pointless through being interested in a coalition with no-one.
don't reach it on your own? Either join a party that does or fuck off to the county council where you belong."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I have an nephew who is a bit of a SJW who has a vote in the GP but at just over 30 now, soon to be married and having a mortgage is beginning to understand that politics is more complicated and nuanced than he realised before . I was able after a good bit of back and forth to persuade him that voting for government was the right thing, he reckons though that he will be one of the youngest people voting for it and there is very little chance it will carry.
I think they will give it another month and make one big push to move quickly with Lab, SD and indo's before they call an election.
Mary Lou missed another open goal to signal that her party has any interest in going into government when she lauded murderer, bank robber, alleged rapist and all round scumbag Bobby Storey as a man of peaceadded to her bizarre refusal to refer to Det. Garda Colm Horken by his rank, apparently that is by diktat from the men behind the curtain, it seems that she thinks she can win an overall majority next time around. Good luck with that,stranger things have happened.

My 9/1 punt on a second Election being called this year looking up?
Cunt of a day after depositing a large glass of red wine all over my laptop when my nag in the yankee racing was pipped for third on the line late Saturday night. Today consisted of acquiring a new laptop and a lot of effing and blinding as i try to get emails/files/certificates etc swapped over. Quite impressed it only took me a full days work considering how clueless I am.
Now to hunt down that jockey.

Probably a given, but I'd imagine a lot of loose votes for SocDems, Greens, Lab will move towards FG. Plus they'll carve out a fair bit of FF support. Well providing they are smart enough to say they'll do all the cool green things in the pfg - cycle routes etc. Who knows though.

Have a scene from a movie in my head but I can't remember what it was from.
There was a short scene high in the mountains where a rasta man in full mammil cycling gear appeared (maybe smoking a joint) I remember as being something of a non sequitur in the context of the film.
Anyone any idea what the film was ?
