I sense you've been saving that one up for some time.

It's times like this I remember you lads are two different people. 

Not that I'm complaining; Tordels was always the witty and well-informed voice of reason; then another one came along.

That's my niceness done for the night, now to lie down and wait for my hangover

I can vouch that this is probably true.

I realised not long ago that of all the possible crisis scenarios I may face in the next few decades - global financial crash, social breakdown and civil war, epidemic plague, nuclear war, etc - the only one that I feel prepared to deal with is the zombie apocalypse.

That's not very practical is it?

At least some people are taking it seriously.

Latest news from Camp Bastard is a bit of a downer. Due to lack of resources, I have had to cancel my Twoothy, Meg and Marvel Ultimate GNC at the local newsagents.

Hmph.

[TordelBack]

That is a right regal pain, but having done similar a couple of years back I can report that when things improve - and they will improve - there is much joy in knowing there are Progs you have not yet had the pleasure of.   Small compensation now, I know.

[ZenArcade]

I'll mail you a copy of the prog, till you get back on your feet. Pm me with an address. Z

[Proudhuff]

Wow Sharkie, have been off line a few days so missed all the action, really respect your ability to stay focused in these situations, best o luck with the future plans, stay safe.

[The Legendary Shark]

Thank you all for your deeply generous offers of Progs, I'll PM you all individually.

This surely is the Best Place on the Web.

Oh, and I should have said this before but, Tankie, you didn't force me to publish my address - I sometimes just do silly things for the heck of it - so think nothing more of it.

One of my brothers had an application for a postal vote in the upcoming local elections discounted because he'd supposedly sent in his form too late - except it had been posted at the same time as mine and another brother's application, the other brother being discounted because someone was "not satisfied" that his signature matched... erm... his other signature, and mine not being discounted at all.  It's a bit baffling, really, as even leaving aside that council workers are now handwriting experts, if one form was too late, surely the other two should have been too late as well?
While having a quick pint and catching up with scandal this evening, it seems we were far from the only postal voters who were discounted for odd, sometimes provably contradictory reasons, either, and the rejection letters were sent out mere days before the election is to take place, so the chances of getting time off work or traveling back into the country on such short notice is laughably slim for most.  I'm away off to make myself a tinfoil hat.

"Ukip is on course for a landslide victory in this week's European elections, a poll for The Independent on Sunday shows. Today's ComRes poll gives Ukip its highest lead in a European elections survey, suggesting that the Eurosceptic party will scoop up MEP seats across the country. Among those who are certain to vote, Ukip is on 35 per cent, 11 points ahead of Labour, on 24 per cent, with the Conservatives down two points from the last ComRes poll earlier this month, at 20 per cent. The Green Party has pushed the Liberal Democrats into fifth place and is up two points to 7 per cent, while Nick Clegg's party is down two to 6 per cent."

UKIP: so right-wing, even the Sun is backing away...
