The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

So we agree on a political matter? How nice! When this is all over we should tackle Europe (I'm kidding).

I am sure a lot of people feel just as you do about today, including me. The first thing I thought when I woke up this morning was "oh, today's the day", then my tummy flipped over. Tomorrow we will know. Yesterday someone stated that "obviously" all of the English people living in Scotland will vote no, which I thought was improbable. If an English person in England can see the attraction of a Yes vote then I'm sure many of those that live there do too. If I fudge something up and have to live with the consequences then that's fine by me. If I have to bear the consequences of someone else's perpetual fudge ups then that's an entirely different matter. And at the moment we all do that every day. I think that's how I see the whole referendum - same deal but on a national level. If Scotland votes Yes then the future's in the hands of its people, not in the hands of idiot politicians hundreds of miles away who couldn't give a poo about anyone outside the Westminster postcode, never mind anyone further afield. If I could divorce them I would! In fact I think large numbers in Wales, the North and the far South West would happily declare independence themselves if given half a chance.

Fingers crossed. Tummy upside down. Heart in mouth. Some anatomical anomalies going on here!

In other news, Streetcar was very good but I could tell that it would have been much better live. Some things work fine being broadcast into the cinema, but for others you lose something and this was in that category. I enjoyed it a lot though and Gillian Anderson was great. It was a very intimate performance in the round (so again, kind of lost if you're not there) and quite erotic - a woman sitting behind me had brought her little boy and kept covering his eyes! I've seen the film but I really cannot imagine it as a ballet!
