Correct and valuable, except for the god bit.

That is brilliant. I need Peter Falk in a long scarf now.

Don't get too confident until the SRBs have detached.

... which reminds me, I should try to find the floor - it's getting tricky to move around here.

I've never submitted to a diagnosis and probably never will as I'm old now and I'm not sure what good it would do me.

I suspected I'd qualify though. Some of my scores on online tests are scary, especially trying to recognise emotions from facial expression.

This exactly. We elect the government to govern in our interests, not to "do a deal" with self-interested businesses.

Those companies will continue to do business no matter how the government treats them. The Coward Party needs to stop worrying what the front page of The Australian says.

Yeah, it's just my personal taste to dislike his work. Among other things, I find his style clumsy and unnatural, with long interjections of exposition.

Again, though, that's on me. If it's good for you, it's good.

Slop.

I've always just assume Reilly's books are awful because he is so prolific and the summaries all seem very Cussler/Brown.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ouch. It seems very Clive Cussler.

I was kind of expecting a Dad's Army intro.

You know, I've got no problem with this. Everybody deserves the best representation possible in court even though most can't get it, and I'm happy for Bennybob to be able to get good lawyers. If he's convicted, we want to know that he had no excuses.

The words I have in response are "bull" and "shit".

Fuck off with this AI slop.

I think that's "outwank".

And the Lord did say "Fuck Trump".

Yeah well they do tend to be cunts of cunting awful cuntishness.

It's a shame that they are too scared to exercise their power.

Is this the GOAT?

Well played sir, well played indeed.

IS this perhaps related to first person POV video games. Just a guess, as it seems so weird to me.

Cunts.

Thank you. That was very well put.

FIFA are in a tough race with the IOC and F1 to win the award for Most Corrupt Sporting Organisation this year, so I appreciate what motivates their decisions.

I'm not sure that's true. At least one of my children particularly tended to helping and befriending other children who were seen as different.

You've got me. Mine wouldn't not be like that.

I appreciate your point, but I think - pushing back with similar gentleness - that such peer pressure dos not necessarily amount to deciding for themselves.

"If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the f**k alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records." - Kurt Cobain The Advocate, 1995

Mood, every single day.

Probably keeps it in a farage.

Almost ten "stories" high. Does that mean it's nine?

It's almost as annoying as them seeming to think that interest rate tinkering can affect excess inflation which is almost totally driven by external factors.
