Yeah, pretty much skipped all the other stages and gone straight to existential despair.

All ideas for suitable methods to exterminate humanity are welcome.

I've heard that deployment of nuclear devices delivered from orbit brings a degree of certainty.

Of course they will.

We'll be long dead, though.

True. 2030 is quite far away, I guess.

As I live in foreign parts, I should be able to ignore the results until I'm good and ready to see them.

By which I mean absolutely w.nkered.

See y'all at midnight.

I'll be on a train home from work as the polls close, heading directly to my beer fridge.

BTW whose live coverage is the best? The biased BBC or Murdoch?

It'll partly depend on what I can hack into over here, of course.

The coverage on Portuguese news will be about 1 minute long, followed by 59 minutes about football. Which tbf is probably preferable.

Hiding in a fridge, eh? Good to hear you like the new PM enough to emulate him.

I wouldn't fit, what with all the beer in it. (Actually about 2 gallons of cider in kegs)

We need to get the playlist sorted:-


Lady in Red (an EPD special request)
Things Can Only Turn Bitter - D:REAM
Send in the Clowns - Judy Collins
Stuck in the Middle With You - Stealers Wheel (going out to one Jo Swinson)
Jocko Homo - Devo (for all supporters of regional parliaments)
The Red Wall - Pink Floyd
Help Save the Youth of America - Billy Bragg
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

I honestly think that next year I might go on a UK news diet.

I don't live in the UK and am unlikely to in the next decade at least. I can't easily do anything to improve matters there. So what's the point of knowing about it?

EPD, does your swear filter have enough capacity to cope with tonight's volumes? It's likely to overwhelm all the Amazon AWS servers.

I recently added "sh.t" in. Not sure it was in the old filter. Dunno if that's strong enough. We have c..t. and t....e and k..t..a and y...b....r in there as well, so that might provide enough protection.
