I took my eldest in with me to show how it all works, what the people to, what voting is, why it's important, why it's secret etc.

He looked entirely disinterested. Fair enough, but I was hoping it would take another thirty years before he got to that stage!

Absolutely love that CCC talk, very interesting and quite entertaining too.

Cheeky bastards.

To take it to a logical extreme, it frustrates me when a post that considers both (or more) views and is a well thought out post, is met with a single world reply - as if it's some sort of "gotcha" or the fact that a single ambiguity in a largely solid argument somehow usurps the entire point.

I tend to think they're either young or generally underexposed to how human interaction works.

Fantastic idea, thank you. I work out of some old airfields from time to time so no doubt they'll be a great source of information. Cheers for the advice.

Absolute legend, thank you. I'll check them out.

Fuck me, that's horrendous.

I'm not really a WW2 buff beyond the key turning points of the war, but can someone point me in the direction of some good starting points for this sort of purge-style activity - as in not "Google WW2 hurrr"?

I feel it's something I really should know about but I don't.

Offtopic: I had to laugh at my dentist's text reminder of my time and date, with a line saying that late attendance would incur a £1 per minute fee.

I know it's supposed to be a deterrent, but if the terms worked both ways and the patient charged the business £1 a minute late, they'd be bankrupt within the month!

I do understand that it's the minority that ruin it for the rest of folk though, especially in a model like the UK's NHS provision.

It looks like a pepperoni pizza that was stored on its end.
