    Attention @Bruce Spanner these are actually hot, not blow your socks off, but decent heat.

     

    shame they’re lacking in a nice spice balance with the heat, but they are at least hot which most crisps just aren’t 

     

    5/10 - taste 

    8.5/10 - heat

    These are the exceptional! 

  2. Out with a couple of people I work with a few weeks back, I’ve been working with them for six months at this point.

     

    Guy I speak to everyfuckingday says ‘I travelled a lot as a teenager, so saw loads of the world.’

     

    ’Oh, really, why?’

     

    ’My uncle was in a band, so we’d travel with him on the big tours somethimes’

     

    ’Big tours?’

     

    ’Yeah, with my uncle Malcom’

     

    ’Malcom?’

     

    ’Young, from AC/DC, do you listen to them?’

     

    **flanberghasted**
     

    Silence for about ten minutes.

     

    Me ‘Why the fuck do you not open with that???’

    So, seizing land and cultivating misery and death for their own ends. Our allies, ladies and gentlemen. 


    Nothing new, every nation that’s been there has blood on their hands to some degree.

     

    None have left it in a better state than they found it.

    What is the deal with the UAE arming the rebels? What is there angle?


    Gold and influence.

     

    Also, Sudan provides a lot of raw ingredients and staples for food.

     

    Theres a significant export market from Sudan in wheat, flour etc. which the UAE doesn’t grow itself.

     

    Should add that the UAE are helping both sides, in theory, with alliances of sorts.

     

    The Abu Dhabi family are the biggest disruptors and have firmly planted their flag with the militia and are financing and helping them.

     

    So it’s more complicated than just the UAE as there are internal differences and disputes there as well, essentially it’s a bit of a pissing contest between cousins on who can extract most from Sudan.

    Glad your mate is ok. You’re right it’s an absolute horror show and the report I posted only shows how many parties are involved. 
     

    Are there any good reporters covering it I could follow/read? 


    Sudan War Monitor do a very good job and is pretty objective, but with the difficulties of getting in and actually documenting the worst will be discovered once the war, finally, finishes.

    I still get some of dispatches from missions and embassies from time to time, but even then it’s still pretty sparse.

  6. One year ago on Monday the bombs stated falling.

     

    The world literally doesn’t care, there were marches and vigils in London over the weekend which were, relatively, well attended, but the world has pretty much turned its back and is waiting for it to sort itself out.

     

    Was texting a mate the other day, he’s been living in stables since last year, and they’re just getting on with life. The militia visit them from time to time but there’s nothing left to steal.

     

    Remarkable resilience and I can’t wait to raise a glass with him, and others, once this horror show is over.

  7. Just called for the abolition of the Supream Court.

     

    'We should abolish it. Another important change, which I didn’t fully appreciate until I became lord chancellor, was the fact that previously the lord chancellor was appointed by the prime minister and was responsible for appointing senior judges. Now, who appoints the senior judges?

     

    It’s a quango, it is the Judicial Appointments Commission and what de facto happens is the judiciary have become a self-perpetuating oligarchy because the current lord chief justice has a lot of say over who his or her successor is. So what we’ve done is created a system that has undermined the core of the British Constitution, which is parliamentary sovereignty.'

     

    Goin' out with a bang is Liz.

    City will win their remaining games, today was the nail in the coffin. Makes you want to just wash your hands of the cunt game. Hope pep chokes on one of his turtlenecks the fucking prick.

     

    Nah, we win on Thursday 0-5 and waltz towards the EL final against the man who turned us down.

     

    Meanwhile the side quest of the league hits some unexpected bumps when the Clampits lose to Brighton and draw with Fulham, it comes down to a last day shootout between Liverpool and Arse and Liverpool over haul the the goal difference to win by a solitary goal on the last day scored by a child making their debut in the first team.

     

    That's what Amazon wants, and dagnamit, that's what Amazon gets!
