It takes15 mins to get to my friend. She knows this She's literally just called me asking if I could meet her at 8:30 I've only just got up and made some coffee, not even had a shower. She couldn't grasp why that was a problem as I had a 'whole 30 minutes to do that'

I have no idea why the billionaires who control the media aren't in favour of a Party who at least thinks about helping the people they're exploiting. In all seriousness it's a warning - Try to upset the status quo and we will brief against you and hound you out of office

Single lane, no streetlights, wet. Car 1 is doing 40 in a 60 followed by cars 2, 3, and me. If we all instantly stopped cars 1, 2, and 3 would all be able to park between me and 3 I wouldn't be able to park between 1 and 2, or 2 and 3 I honestly don't get it.
