    [Misc] Anyone keep chickens? WTAF did I agree to it?

    You do get to know your neighbours garden better too. Much cheaper and easier than being persuaded a horse is a good idea.

    [Misc] Anyone keep chickens? WTAF did I agree to it?

    You'll be chasing them around your neighbour's gardens soon. They are good at weeding and produce great fertiliser. You'll love it, it's a way of life.

But, as you say, no one ever gets sacked for poor performance. I...

    [Drinking] I’ve gone off Alcohol

    25 years for me of <10units/year, some years zero. Hardly every drink fizzy pop either and low/no alcohol isn't appealing. More recently found I like herbal/fruit teas ~.~

    [Humour] Middle aged absent-mindedness

    I went to a gig at the Concorde a while back and visited my mother on the way there. She asked me why I was wearing odd trainers. I like fiddling with my old motorbikes and seem to spend more time trying to find the tool that was in my hand 5 seconds ago. On the plus side, nothing seems to make...

    [Politics] Owen Jones

    Yes, that is partly what I'm saying. But also that we don't have an honest discussion about what we want to achieve and the means to attempting to do so. It's always seems to be a numbers game, x more houses, y more nurses, z more police but no consideration of how that will achieve a poorly...

    [Politics] Is it OK to say racist things if you're not racist?

    I'm often silly and stupid but I try to be honest, even with myself. It seems obvious that in a population of around 70M many are going to have views that involve protected characteristics and that ther will be many in positions of influence. We have two people in this case doing this now. Party...

    The Diane abbot who has her own racism problem. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65365978 These people, Abbot and tory donor, suck the life out of meaningful politics. I kind of agree with you though.
