Moved desk at work. Thought "wots this behind the pedestal, blocking it?"

Turns out to be a Fender frontman 15, covered in more dust than Indiana Jones.

Plus Celtic Frost

Nandy speaks well, but dunno. Something about her that I'm not sure on and need to consider what that is.

Starmer. Not really looking like a Prime Minister to me, as he's not really showing a vision for the country outside of "I'll unite the party" and answered a lot by rephrasing the question back at people. Do like the way he doesn't put up with rubbish questions, but I reckon Boris will give him the runaround quite easily. Possibly a bad night, as he's got stuff in the background too.

Long-Bailey. Probably the best showing of the three for me last night. She clearly played cautious with a few answers, but generally felt she's the best showing. Suspect she may do well against Boris.

One of the fellows at work lives with someone who has been quarantined to their flat. But he's getting on the train to work everyday and wandering around here, as he's not under quarantine as he's not been out to an affect area. Hows that work?

Wait until the tabloids start ripping into Starmer on a daily basis. If he takes it on, then great. I've a feeling he'll not look such PM material to Joe Public once they've rinsed him.

My local CLP went Starmer, but the talk in the room and the members was a 30/30/40 split for Starmer. (Thornberry didn't even get a mention)

My own feeling is that Starmers a familiar comfort blanket for a lot of people "he looks Prime Ministerial" (does Boris? Fuckloads of people voted for him) "he's good at the despatch box" (is Boris? Fuckloads of people voted for him) etc etc

Don't think Starmers an election winner in the current climate. 20th century politician in an 21st century fight.

When I was in the Fender market a few years back, I wanted a rosewood strat with white body and black board. Did they have one? No. So that Lead III is pretty tasty!

Got my tele instead, and very happy I am.

Whats the perception based on?

Which one is Boris gonna have most trouble with?

My thoughts too. I'm sure they'd go into it knowing full well what expect though (one would hope!)

Thoughts on the Long-Bailey Leader/Rayner Deputy ticket?

Never heard Long-Bailey say a thing, but suppose that'll change when the leadership bid comes in.

Liking Rayner.

“I didn’t grab her by the throat, I grabbed her by the neck”

Weak defence, bro.

Lol, its been ages since I encountered a web warrior! Demand all you like, sir.

This throat grabby enough for you? Nevertheless, had it been someone who was likely to stick on one him, I doubt he'd have been the hardman.

There also seems to be a double standard, as it's hard to imagine this level of outrage had the same force been used against a man.

Fairly certain he wouldn't have been trying to grab them by the throat, had it been a man and not a woman in a cocktail dress.

The DUP got a billion to prop up the Tories. Vince gets.........what? A new hat?

You know, I think I may have to get a camera - police came back with a “sorry, not the full number plate so we can’t do anything. Sorry you were assaulted” disappointingly, so maybe a small clip on camera I put on my bag strap? Would that work?

Shame it has to come to this!

Yeah, I had a close call there about five years ago when a car pulled out. This scooter was ripping up the outside of the cars at high speed, so if I’d been five seconds faster he’d have ploughed into me.

I think the worst bit was knowing he was coming back, but not knowing what to expect - my stopping would have meant a fight? Who knows.

If I’d coated him off, I might have expected a nasty reaction but i barely said a thing and had already passed on when I glimpsed him turning around. I slowed down a bit and headed towards the kerb to anticipate it.

Luckily, I’d bought a massive load of warhammer boxes and had them on my back, so I landed mostly on them and my nerd hobby took the brunt.

Yeah, cheers. I’m determined to not let him win by ruining my evening as well.

Dunno what sort of person chooses to act like that, but the way he was riding about it’s only a matter of time till he wipes out in a pile up.

Well, I’m home, thanks. Feeling the bones grinding a bit, but didn’t bleed too heavily. Will make a police report in the morning as someone witnessed the whole thing.

Tube tomorrow, I think

Got assaulted by a scooter on the way home - hit and run. He tore across me at the junction of Fentiman Road and ? (meadow road?), passing on the outside of cars, I exclaimed “what the hell you doing??” (Didn’t swear for once, surprisingly) in surprise as he tore a half metre across my path. Looked to me left where he went and saw him stop up the road, then he turned around came back looking for me and whipped past at 30 mph hollered something and shoved me off. Pretty mashed up.

Nevermind.

I have my moments. Normally after someone's gotten off a motorbike and screamed in my face for a while, for no particular reason.

I suspect his wife has probably had words in the past.
