Jeez @pap what comes first financially supporting a few offspring and Partner or 383 hopeless ner-do-wells who rely on you for affirmation and support in their piteous on-line existence? OK - srs business it is then…as you were ---

What comes first is ticking some very important checkmarks on the CV, getting my work out of the door with a minimum of rework and being able to pick and choose from some nice 2019 work. Loving all that. Hating the commute. Every time I close my eyes I see motorways and brakelights. ---

Oh golly I hope I make it onto one of the lists, I could really do with a boost to the ol’self-esteem. Is it too late to try to garner upvotes now? I’ll give it a go anyway: The Soviet is an empty vessel and Brexit is a pile of horseshit voted for by morons and racists who like fingering furball’s wife. ---

Is there a most unlikely to win an election but won an election award (sponsored by Brexit). If so I want to claim mine. I think it might have been from 2016. Also, how come ya are so fucking proficient at counting votes all of a sudden?
