    It should be nice and quick to get a UK passport. It’s not like thousands are in your position making summer plans.

    Link to video Symphony No. 1 for Orchestra and Organ, Opus 42 by Felix-Alexandre Guilmant Paul Jacobs played at the local music hall last week. I never heard of Guilmant before.

    @Horace said in Who’s watching the SOTU speech tonight?: Yet another lie. Whoever invented those numbers on that spreadsheet should be ashamed of themselves. We all know he's reduced inflation by 4000%. I went into buy groceries today and came away with a check for $500.

    @kluurs said in Dry February…: Wonderful news! Your health is a good focus. Father-In-Law lost his foot in January to diabetes. Hearing the glucose numbers get up there was a big wake up call. It also made me realize that small little things that I was attributing to just getting older weren’t… Still, I was pleased to look back after 2 weeks to know that I wasn’t addicted to the booze physically, and look back this week to see that I’m not addicted mentally, lol. Not saying that I won’t have the occasional sip of whiskey, but not for another 8-12 weeks. What I am missing is the 2 times a week after work beers with a couple of guys at the pub. I’m hoping Jon’s Alliance Brews will help with that…

    The inclusion of the term "Lord Mandelson" is highly offensive.

    @jon-nyc said in “You people” on steroids: You know it would have been less embarrassing to take the L then to have done whatever this is you’re doing now. At the end of the day the Magtard of Crown Heights misquoted him twice and lied about the audience. It’s fair that you didn’t know the source having seen it on Reddit. Now you’re out of excuses. I can’t be the only one beyond bored of reading you on this thread. If you're not embarrassed by your own behavior in this thread, then it would fit with my description of your psychology. Your claim that the second sentence erases the first in "I'm like you. I'm no better than you." remains ridiculous, and the vehemence with which you claimed it, to the point of calling me an intentional liar for not going along with it, only points to your own delusional nature in adversarial discussions. As usual, you are fractionally as coherent as you think you are. As for the description of the audience, it was probably an honest mistake, given the venue and the obvious intentions of the interview. He may or may not be forthright in admitting that there were plenty of white faces, with the updated information. As for the lack of the ... between the sentences in the quote, I'm sure you'll get over that someday. The story as told is a far cry from a pure hoax.
