I have a to-do list longer than a queue for a beachside bog on Boxing Day, but somehow I can find time for subjecting complete strangers to unsatisfyingly moderate opinions, lame jokes & nitpicks.

Mandatory retirement age of 70 or 75 for judicial appointees is a better idea than term limits. But ultimately the problem is Americans' wacky belief that the judiciary should be in the partisan political arena, & that isn't going to go away no matter what you do about terms.

Ugh, the time of the year Star Wars fandom becomes even more annoying. It brings out my inner Palpy.

It's the implication that anything in Star Wars is "original" that bugs me.

I like the bit about hoping the Welsh landscape remains free of wind turbines. The mines & over 2500 coal spoil tips are much more picturesque.

Very well-put. For that relative of mine I mentioned the other day, it's about self-image as a far more intellectually capable person than she really is. I wonder how much weaker her attachment to Trump would be if he were an unhinged amoral genius instead of an unhinged amoral imbecile.

'I'm sorry for sharing my opinion quickly & on social media instead of elsewhere' isn't an apology for being wrong. It's a weaselly way of either saying 'I'm right, fuck you' or protecting a fragile ego from taking a hit, or both.

There's really no such thing as 'compulsory' voting where there's a secret ballot. Having to submit ballot papers doesn't mean having to fill them in. On the last Senate ballot paper I got, I think I just wrote "JFC."

This morning the British ambassador in Berlin handed the German government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has

He knows once he's out, everything he did will be torn down and removed. All the gold shit and stuff he named after himself will be gone. But a finished ballroom will be used by future presidents. He won't be forgotten like all the other losers.

I've been dealing with a family member's tinfoil hat madness for a dozen years & even I can't fathom the need to believe that attempts on Trump's life are staged or the ability to convince oneself with tortured logic that they were. The attempts don't even seem to have significant political effect.

Their lack of a sense of proportion is by itself enough to often make me wonder to what extent these people are out & about in the real world, i.e., experiencing it for themselves, as opposed to getting their information about it from each other.

I am irrationally annoyed at the fact that it shows vehicles in Pakistan being driven on the right. Who do these AI slop-jockeys think they are? It usually takes a $140 million Hollywood budget to make that mistake.

Neither do they. Those 2 scandals aren't even on par with each other. Mandelson's species of shadiness has been on full display for years, which is why the appointment was such a surprising own goal. So, once again, I'm stumped for an answer to the question, "Who is the audience for this claim?"

I particularly appreciated the criticism of the depiction of Egypt because it's an example of one of the most annoying, stupid & bewildering Hollywood cliches, which is: "nonsensically portray other countries being stuck at least a hundred years in the past."

How dare the Civil Service decline to tell me what they knew I wouldn't want to be told because I'd already announced that this famously chronic scandal magnet was to be appointed & this would require overriding the vetting result, which I should have predicted?

The former NATO SG is George, Lord Robertson, not Lord George Robertson. It's not a courtesy title - he's a life peer with a seat in the House of Lords.

The biggest chunk, by far, of the welfare budget is that which funds pensions. Life expectancy keeps going up. Clearly, the solution is to implement policies that decrease life expectancy to 1950s levels.

Farage's defence of this ghastly proposal is blatantly dishonest. If there's not enough expertise, the problem is with permanent secretaries &/or their subordinates. What Farage wants in power is what he's always striven for while out of power: to be a one-man band, no one else's consent required.

It's not that Hitchens is crackers that gets me. It's that he's so comedically crackers. If, say, Piers Corbyn, ranted about this, it'd make you go, "Ewwww," but this is like that kid in primary school who always wore wellies & shorts, rode a bicycle without a seat, & ate glue.
