What? This is the politics thread not the "how I feel today and what the internet has done to my mental health" thread - take that to soap opera or wherever. I simply don't understand this "up your own arse self absorbed crackpottery", it's bad enough that Trump does it, but he is sort of […]

Decided to have a quick look at what the scoreboard would have looked like had the game gone on 'til the year ended (can you tell this January is a boring month?): and as far as I could tell, we'd have the same ruddy winner. Summer in Transylvania - 4034 CaptainChorizo - 3722 Drol - […]
