Same with the TV series. It's good to have more political intrigue but each episode feels like a seasons worth of butality in it. Could get past episode 3 as just too much.

This post is brought to you by newsnight- which I'm watching for the first time in the new format- and is truly sad what they've done to such a vital programme on the BBC
Complete loss of information and filled instead with two talking heads arguing opposing points.
Such a shame

The minor thing (outside of the length of the campaign) that has irked me about this election is the talk of a labour supermajority. A government with a majority of one could theoretically do as much as a government with a majority of 200! So in the end is just a daft argument.

Ah ok. Is that with Melechon being a part of it? Any chance either Macron or the left vote tactically to keep out le pen? Or down to the voters taking the initiative?

So, this has been extremely strange.
Yesterday I published this column about my son's thin grasp on the merits of Father's Day. It was - I thought - a fairly sweet piece, and initial reaction from readers was very positive.
And then things got weird...

Second this- just working my way through this game and it's a fantastic experience. However, having recently got a steam deck, I'd completely forgotten the ability of steam sales to wreck any progress you'd made on your games backlog

'Everything written on them was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth' Had a proper hundred yard stare after reading that. What a book.

The way some members of the British public and press treat the England team- if I was a player I wouldn't want to give them any joy and satisfaction. Aware not probably the view of the players themselves but what a disgraceful way to treat your team.

One of the truly daft ones is that an MP can't technically resign. So if they wish to step down they need to apply to become the Steward and Ballif of the Chiltern Hundreds or Stewerd and Ballif of the Manor of Northstead.
