Only in the same way that public opinion turned Stone Cold Steve Austin from a heel into a face. It’s a soap opera. How about a list of what public opinion hasn’t brought down? It’ll be long…

When I was about 8, I was obsessed with grappling hooks after seeing The Living Daylights. I tied various bits of scrap metal found in fields (bits off ploughs probably) to washing line to swing around from trees. My mate, Robbie had a go and the pointy triangle of rusty steel came loose and hit him in the head. Now I think about it, thank christ he didn’t die. It was a big bit of steel, moved by gravity and his weight and a springy length of line. Anyway. Happy grappling. Don’t miss near greenhouses etc.

No but you don’t need an all-encompassing state to have rules (that cover the people they need to cover in the places they need to cover).

No no. Don’t be so conciliatory. A minute ago I deserved all the boot on the face I got because I didn’t want to pick the boot colour. Let’s go the other way. I consider voters to be acting aggressively towards me. They’re going to a tyrant shop, picking the one they recognise from the adverts and saying, “I want you to put the boot on my face and on AHPP’s too.” So no voting please.

I don’t want to be ruled by anyone so I’m not going to cross a box saying I do. It’s an illusion of choice. You can pick red or blue. Makes no odds. You still get ruled.

Out of interest, what will your line of persuasion be? I’m certainly always on the lookout for ways to convince people to not do stupid things.

I loosely get what you mean. Could you sketch it or post a picture please.

I keep a few stock lines for the worst of these offenders. “Have you tried that new Oregon VXL?” “Managed to make one of those Husky combicans last more than a month yet?” etc I target football fans similarly. “Rashford’s well down on pace this season.” “Well if they will play so wide in the centre, what do they expect?!” ”Great discipline but doesn’t see a lot of gaps.” And so on. No idea whether any of it’s true but in probably about ten years of interrupting people wanking on about football like tragically overlooked experts, I’ve never been met with anything but wholehearted agreement.

Like Rich says.

Has anyone tried putting brash through a Bilke? I suspect it wouldn’t even work, let alone give good results but nobody else on the internet seems worried about asking stupid questions so I’ll join in. -
There was two hours ago. No telling now. I go predominantly sideways. Some old alpine skis, loose/fixed heel bindings and a pair of skins I’ve never needed. I basically walk and glide with poles, can’t remember if I can skate. Sometimes clip the heels in for downs, sometimes don’t.

Remarkable. You’re hardly far up the road on a meteorological scale. Melting fast now. Was going to dash out again on skis but drizzle and meh. Fire on. Might have a bath. Best go and smash the geese water again later. Busy day.

Fairly historic footage, surely? Has it not been white for a few days on your manor?

I've always said they're a waste of good rifle ranges but to be honest I don't mind. It's basically the same sport.

In the nicest possible way, that's pretty crass.

Good point, intelligently framed. Give Mark his password back.

Seconded. -
The wall industry appears to be even worse off.

He’s trekked for six weeks through deepest Kashmir to the ashram of Gregg, Senior Global Pasty guru. He’s eaten one while levitating ten inches above a surfboard, riding the perfect wave of a perfect storm. He once baked and divided five between 5000 hungry stoner metal fans on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

Chatting between songs at band practice last night as Robbie was wolfing down fistfuls of nuts. “Christ. Have you eaten today?” “Yeah. Well Huel.” It gets worse. Apparently you can get supermarket meal deals of entirely Huel products. A variety of cartons and cans to meet your nutritional needs. Fxcking fuxk off. I’d rather die or go on a caravan holiday with Les.

Not literally whole dumplings from a packet. I’m not a monster.

Big, successful dumplings today. From a fuxking packet. The ignominy…
