Hard News: Gaying Out, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Whatever, Craig.
But if you keep that righteous indignation at the boil all year, you're going to be a) most uncomfortable and b) ignored. Which, I guess, will make you even more bilious. Good luck with that.

So what discomfort did Goff offer to anyone – because I sure seem to be the only person in any way uncomfortable with the pile of steaming hot waffle Phil served up.
1. You're not, but there was so little in content that it's hard to break a sweat over
2. Goff's not the Prime Minister. He doesn't have the same leadership requirements or accountabilities.
Pardon me, but your partisan is showing...

It also sounds like he's given up on being PM and is already started to fantasise about life outside of Parliament
I've been thinking that more and more, from a lot of other things he's said recently. It's like "Been PM, got the t-shirt" and away.

A CGT will worsen the accommodation crisis and in my view be paid for by tenants.
Why?
What is your evidence for this belief?
How will a CGT "worsen the accommodation crisis"?
Why will a CGT raise rents?You keep on making sweeping statements but you never justify them with evidence, while demanding numbers and percentages from people who criticize your arguments.

that’s a powerful argument :)
I’m not even going to talk about it
He's just acting out.

Muse: TV Review: Good Gods Almighty!, in reply to recordari,
I liked it too. Matt Smith has grown on me, as Pertwee did after Troughton (though I was MUCH younger then) and Moffat seems to be putting in a good job at the helm. I just wish it was still weekly ;-)

Davies and Julie Gardner pulled off an enormously difficult balancing act – preventing the die hard fanboys from starting a lynch mob, while at the same time being open to everyone else
Yup, yup yup. The fanboy in me was keen for more DW, while the critic was nervous of what they might do to it, as my favourite Doctor was Patrick Troughton (until Tennant). I liked Eccleston, I liked that he was sooo different and I liked how he transitioned to Tennant. THAT's what I call a reboot!
As you say, everyone has their off days but RTD's good days well outbalance his few bad ones.

But I would suggest tracking down Queer as Folk
Just to clarify, make sure you get the UK Queer as Folk, as the US “adaptation” stole all the worst bits and added a steaming pile to them, IMHO. Also, Davies had nothing to do with it creatively.

Hard News: "Orderly transition" in #Egypt, in reply to Simon Grigg,
This was my Saturday night.
Still bubbling….
They have a venue called "WTF"? That, in itself, is made of win.

That said, the record store in Lat Prao has the best collection of James Brown albums I’ve ever seen. I just don’t know who buys it.
Can't wait for the Thai-Funk mixes
