Had a dream that I was on secondment working for the UK government. They told me that they’d found the Loch Ness monster, but they had to cover it up because she was technically next in the order of succession instead of Charles and they didn’t think the public could take it. Not in my dream book.

The thing that bugs me most about this is how many local businesses trade well on people who want to support a wee local business. It’s wild to so openly demonstrate that your business doesn’t have the same feeling about paying a wee local artist…

An interesting feature of the protest in Dublin is that the whole thing is sort of predicated on having these big assets to block the roads. Ordinarily would suppose a protest blocking off this much of the city would need a lot of human beings, but in this case it’s achievable with property
