Wow.

I mean I can't stand the bloke but I didn't realise it was quite so popular an opinion.

I'm sure there are "X celebrity is an asshole" stories about lots of people with no grain of truth to them... but there's no smoke without fire and it seems like there are rather a lot of those sort of anecdotes about him!

I scrolled through the entire thing, and this guy really does seem to add up to the stories about him being a dick, with many instances of him being an asshole corroborated.

There is anairplane story that makes him look TERRIBLE....and it's been confirmed by a bunch of people who were on that flight as accurate apparently, even though it seems like a made up anecdote.

I listened to him on David Tennant's podcast the other week and I thought to myself "Man, this bloke seems a tad full of himself"....interesting to note that feeling on my end was not an anomaly. LOL.

The leader of the Social Democrats Party in my country (ignore the party name, they are a self serving crime group and nothing else) just got sent to jail. He was hoping his party would win the EU parliment elections here but they failed hard (he also just lost a referendum that killed his chances to avoid jail). His political ally, the head of the ALDE party, also suffered a defeat as his party didn't get enough votes to pass. Considering both of these cunts spew anti-EU rhetoric all the time (trying to blame the EU for the country;s shit economic situation ..... the one caused by them), it's good to see them lose. Especially since this gives a good idea of how the 2020 elections will go. Their chance to still be in charge of country is becoming slimmer by the day.

Not that I'm expecting great things from the other parties but the Social Democrats Party has been runing my country into the ground since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Amazing city, you'll love it.

I'm off work today, and I'll be watching King of the Monsters in 4 hours with my boy - I don't know whose more excited!

We got a new electric kettle. One that has several temperature levels, which means I can now enjoy my 20+ kinds of flavoured hot water aka tea at the proper temperatures right away and without adventures in getting the water to boil, then waiting until it cools down to the proper temperature. It's the small joys in life... *sips Milky Oolong*

Wait.... all tea does not require dumping the leaves into boiling water?

Nice!

I am off on holiday! Have a cottage in Devon for a week from Saturday but travelling down to Wiltshire today to stay with some friends - breaks the drive up and means I get to meet their now seven month old daughter, called Lyanna (the First of Her Name, naturally).

Also had my first proper session with my PT last night and it was so much fun. She gave me some tips on stretching off and I don't feel too bad today (possibly won't hit until tomorrow but hey ho) - but most importantly I figured out I'm much stronger than I thought I was with a bit of guidance and confidence giving. Excited for my next session when I get home!

[Gorefest]

Good omens tonight!

It works with boiling water, especially Black Tea, but some teas are more delicate and develop their aroma better at 80°C (Oolong, White Tea) or 70°C (Green Tea). Some of the really expensive stuff (which I don't own) even goes down to 50°C. The standard temperature for electric kettles here and I'm sure everywhere is about 100°C.

You know, I am already glad you said leaves, not tea bags.

Or just drink coffee, which is vastly superior.

[Puck]

Gotta love that coffee breath.

But seriously, aside from the fact that I also drink coffee sometimes, tea does have health benefits (Sencha Benifuuki has enough antihistamines that drinking it daily means I can reduce my allergy meds), does not cause withdrawal symptoms and the caffein from tea is absorbed at a slower and more even rate than that from coffee, avoiding the dreaded caffein spike. People used to be able to tell if I'd had coffee or not by the uncharacteristic behaviour it causes in me, which is apparently hilarious but also kind of annyoing.

[Abyss]

Before coffee was invented, i wonder what people did in the morning when they woke up and thought 'god i need a coffee'.



Making me happy, new tablet wheeEEEEeeeeeee, farewell slowly dying ipad, you have been cast aside and wholly utterly replaced by something younger, faster, and vastly sexier.

[Gorefest]

I hope you've gone Android. IPad looks fancy and works well, but you gotta pay for every bloody app and nothing is compatible.
