“Accept a result and shut the fuck up” sounds quite a lot like not having a voice.

Why should the nearly 50% of the population who don’t want this to happen “agree” with what’s happening?

Losing a vote doesn’t mean you have to be quiet about the issue forever. That’s not how it works.

Yes, that’s definitely how democracy works. 🙄

I never understood why we buy NZ lamb anyway. Welsh lamb is right here and – IMO – better.

Bob Harris strikes me as probably a nice man, but Christ alive, he must be such boring company.

Yeah, I’m struggling to think of a major moment in human history where progress wasn’t won as a result of increments.

This whole thing seems extraordinarily reckless. I have no idea what gains we’re supposed to […]

“The only way humanity ever achieved anything was by stepping into the unknown.”

Those rhymes in full:

The age discovers he is not the trahn;
Of such as these I should not care to vaunt,
I’ll therefore take our ancient friend Don Juan

I agree if we’re talking about a pub somewhere. But if I’m paying for haute cuisine, which once in a blue moon I like to do, it’s different. That’s food as art, and the presentation is as integral and satisfying […]

It’s ok. She’s going to hire people who know all the “relevant hashtags”.

Realistically what they actually want, because law enforcement always does, is to find out what we’re all saying, and to whom. I understand why they want to but we shouldn’t let ’em.

It’s a text messaging app: it uses a way of texting that just uses the data network (ie the same 4G your phone’s web browser uses) instead of the phone network (standard texts use a protocol called SMS). Whatsapp […]

But you can. You’d just sign up to another streaming service (e.g. Spotify).

I used to be all about the owning, but since I moved to AM I’ve not even noticed it. It becomes your new normal very quickly.

Apple Music allows you to download if necessary. It’s fine.

I tend not to be bothered about capacity as I use Apple Music and feel no need to carry the music around on the actual phone, but of course that’s dependent on your 4G data coverage and plan.

I have an iPhone 7 […]

I regularly scan stuff in cafes to check the calories or nutrition content. 😳

My most used are Amazon, Fitbit, MapMyRide, SoundCloud, Strava. I also couldn’t live without LastPass, which is a password manager.

Yeah ok. Fair enough. Sorry.
