David Lammy announces he personally will decide whether you are guilty. And he personally will sentence you and carry out the punishment. Critics say it's just so he can hear the sound of his own voice more.

Long night of editing ahead. Loooooong night. But worth it. If you are interested it's Dave Emory's show and the guest is Spencer Sunshine and he talks about his research into counter cultural fascism.
Which is nice.

God I hate music in Supermarkets. It's like the bottom rung of music. Interspersed with ads for stuff you don't need, shouted at you from a speaker in the sky. Or ceiling. And no shop ever sells ear plugs. I was subjected to Ed Sheehan earlier. Can I take Home Bargains to the Hague?

Book of the Week - Feeding per Rectum as illustrated in the case of the late President Garfield and others
Marketed to what can only ever be described as a niche audience, this book talks much about enemas and the ability to feed yourself without putting anything in your mouth.

The only advantage Twitter has, as far as I can see, is that you can automate posts. Although it's misused a lot of the time, it's actually really useful. Maybe it's not a thing on here, and that could be why this site is so much nicer than the dumpster fire which is 'X'.

I've been trying to mend this watch I bought ages ago. It's a mechanical one and quite good and old. But in trying to reset it I've pulled the knob off you use to wind it up. The effort required to put it back together... not to mention the eyesight.
I fully expect to have glued myself to my desk.

Think I will give the podcasts a rest this week. I am very tired and I'm not feeling it. I want to do it because I enjoy it and not because it's some bountiful, appreciated and profitable project.
And at the moment it's all neither. Which is fair enough. It is what it is.
