Taxes are fucking great. They offer the benefit of bulk buying power while reducing my day to day admin. Not getting the services you need because your government can't figure out how to invest in the country to provide those services SUCKS. Don't get rid of the taxes - Get rid of the government

That's impressive recall. I couldn't tell you one thing that happened in that show except that Eric had his hair cut at some stage.

Someone asked Stephen Moyer recently if there would ever be a new series, and he said that since the characters are supposed to be ageless and they have all very much and very visibly aged, he didn't think so.

Yes! By then it very much was. It was a lot of spooky fun in the beginning, though.

True Blood went from a show Mr Trish and I watched and enjoyed together to something I knitted in front of alone, occasionally glancing at the screen when I heard Eric's voice.

I always buy a fridge freezer with the freezer part at the bottom, because why would I want my freezer to be more accessible than my fridge? Putting it up on legs like that does look good, but immediately makes me think that kitchen is prone to flooding.

I know my mother does not like that song. Maybe that's why. Also probably because I think hearing it every morning while trying to get everyone out to school/work was more stressful for her than for us.

"Lovely Day" by Bill Withers. I think Mike Murphy played it every morning for about a year, and I loved hearing it every single time. I still do.

Also, The Nutty Professor (1963), which I must have seen on telly as a smallish kid. I would not sleep facing a wall as a child in case I transformed into a monster. And I had to be cajoled into going to see Star Wars because I was afraid of Chewbacca when he appeared on Blue Peter.

Everybody talks up Dark Water, but the quicksand one was much scarier, really. I still get worried if I step in unexpectedly deep and soft sand.

Imagine if you knew someone who hoarded billions of mustard packets. More than generations of their family could ever use. You’d reasonably assume they’re mentally ill. And that would be a reasonable assumption for hoarding basically anything, but when it comes to money, people see it as admirable??

Tinkered with this a long time and trying to be strict about including only official sources or good quality uploads from reliable accounts but it's over 500 official videos for UK chart hits (anything Top 100) of 1990. Historical media preservation is important :) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

By default the tracks are ordered by the week they entered the UK Top 100 singles chart then by position entered in ascending order, then adjusted for better...

Not a novel observation by any means but the irony here, of course, is that it is precisely the UK’s successful approach to multiculturalism that has allowed us to generate a brown white nationalist.
