Saw an article by David Frost in the Torygraph earlier. I genuinely can’t imagine having the energy to get so irate for money about such inane shit.

The Tories.

I saw my wife playing this years ago, and always fancied having a go, but never got around to it.

So a few months back we got it going so it could stream to our Apple TV and off I went. Spent a few weeks playing it in the evenings and having a nice time.

Then Ubisoft put out an ‘update’ to it, that broke it completely. A massive update for a ten year old game. Cunts.

So I guess I’ll never finish it, because fuck Ubisoft.

I drive a Mini. The SUV infiltration in this country is making night driving a miserable experience for me.

I’ve taken to muttering “There goes the Vroom Vroom Man in his vroom vroom” every time one of these pricks rumbles by. It solves nothing, but makes me laugh.

I’ve not read the article because I refuse to give the Express any attention. They’re only very slightly better than the Daily Mail, and that’s only because their reach isn’t as great. This article will almost certainly be coming from the perspective of “new things bad, old things good, so we’ll sow a feeling of distrust in our aging readers”, and I have no time for that shit.

But to answer the question; no, of course it isn’t, unless, as /u/Hogger85 has said, the AirBnB owner has specifically banned EV charging. If they haven’t, then it should be considered part of the cost of doing business and accounted for the same way they would any other energy usage.

just days after being sold to a private buyer for alternative use.

It’s just so exhausting being a lefty these days. I swear to god, these cunts in Westminster make their decisions on what will most piss off the people who’ll never vote for them.

Saw some thick trout on Twitter the other day, saying that the endless drizzling rain here in the UK this summer is a sign that climate change isn’t real, and, like, it’s cool and raining in July, and apparently that isn’t climate change.

These people are so dense light bends around them.

“We expect profit levels to fall back significantly moving forward to the reasonable and modest levels allowed for in the price cap,”

Forgive me for believing with all my heart that there shouldn’t be a profit motive when it comes to essential energy.

Oil the guillotines, chaps, prepare them well.

I’m something of a patient gamer, and my wife has all the Assassin’s Creed games. A couple of months ago I decided to play Black Flag, as I remember her enjoying it back when it came out.

Got 46% of the way through the story, then a few weeks ago, completely out of the blue, Ubicunts pushed out a 2gb “update” for it, the sole purpose of which appears to have been to break it. So now I can’t finish it.

I hate Ubisoft.

Or more to the point, if you put the window at the top of the screen, then push up a bit more, that’s when Mission Control activates.

I’m not sure you can turn it off. What I have noticed though, is that if you gently put the window at the top, it’ll hang there for long enough for Magnet to snap the window, but if you throw it at the bar it’ll activate Mission Control.

W has more edges, therefore I’m claiming W.com as a social media site only for the most reactionary right wing chuds.

True, but most people aren’t the former Prime Minister. I can’t read the article, because fuck paying any money to any of Murdoch’s outlets, but is it his personal phone, or one that was provided in his official capacity as PM?

It makes more sense when you view it through the lens of Rupert Murdoch absolutely despising the very notion of publicly funded state media, because media is how he wields power and public broadcasters can’t (in theory) be bought.

Through that perspective you begin to see that the majority of anti-BBC stories that turn up in the privately owned news outlets are almost always bollocks wrapped around a tiny kernel of truth. And there’s an awful lot of those stories rustling up dissent against the BBC. How many Sun readers think the licence fee is nothing more than an unjust tax, that they never watch or listen to the BBC, so shouldn’t have to pay it? They’ve sown that disgruntlement for decades, which has inevitably led to successive governments freezing the fee, or minimising how much it can be increased, which has the knock on effect of making the BBC’s output less high quality than the country deserves.

That’s been Murdoch’s modus operandi for as long as he’s had a presence in the UK. The existence of (supposedly) impartial BBC News is a high benchmark that cripples his ability to peddle whatever the fuck it is Fox does over in the US.

The only real surprising thing in all this debacle is just how far The Sun over-reached. They’re a nest of vipers, but they’re not normally this stupid. Which suggests they thought they had a far stronger story than it turned out. Trouble is, literally all that will happen is that they’ll stick their fingers in their ears for a week, wait for everyone to forget about it, then they’ll return to business as usual.

Remember, decent people Never buy The Sun.

Personally, as it appears that nothing illegal has occurred, I’d be perfectly happy to see him return to reading the news. He has a calming demeanour and is very good at what he does.

Now, whether he’d want to sit in front of the camera again is another thing.

Jesus Christ, this has been a fucking shambles. And all because Murdoch wants to bring down the BBC.

The sooner The Sun disappears, the better off this country will be.

Me, last month: “I think I’ll wait until release day and not bother with the beta this year”

Also Me, today: “Oh ok, just a little bit of Public Beta…”
