When The Violence Happened, They Used It As An Excuse For More Violence..!

Once again, life has been ridiculously busy, I'm up early today as my body decided that I only need 7 hours' sleep, while thelma_viaduct gets a lie in, after the combination of beer and a cold in me kept her awake last night

We've gone completely off the rails. As you know we are no strangers to incidents perpetrated by Caucasians but somehow those don't matter as much.

The Real Ale Trail sounds fun, but my fate would probably be similar.

And, um, what was that last bit???

[jeffthelion]

Exactly, although it seems that incidents involving Caucasians are accepted, as they have a right to bear arms, yet a Muslim with a bomb leads to a war every time. It's weird looking in at it all, all those schoolyard shoot-ups that could so easily be avoided.

Ha! It's a great idea! I'm surprised if there's not an equivalent near you?

Yeah, our neighbour Ralph should really invest in some curtains..! Particularly, if he's willing to accept guests at all hours who just wander up to his patio door!

FratBro and I are planning to do this next year.

All drinks paid for?! You'd be a fool not to!

Meant to wish you two a happy anniversary! May there be tons and tons of wonderful anniversaries to come.

All acts of terrorism are disgusting, but a rock concert?! I guess that hit close to home for me because if EoDM were playing in my city, I'd certainly go. All this refugee outrage and yet NO ONE I know has posted anything regarding the white man who shot up a Planned Parenthood place and killed 3 a few days ago. I hate the gun violence here, I'm so much more afraid of being shot at school (Concealed carry is now legal on my campus and they even offered people shooter training. This is supposed to stop the "crazies" from killing everyone. The cure for mass shootings is to give everyone the ability to shoot?!) than to being blown up when I'm out and about.

Sigh.

Thank you very much :)! I do hope so!

Yes, it's almost unimaginable to go out to see a band and not come home at the end of the night.

I heard about that lunatic, it doesn't get much publicity in England, Wales and Scotland, as anyone can have an abortion here, it's nothing to do with religion or anyone apart for the woman herself, HOORAY!

In fact, I had a rant on Twitter yesterday about a lady in Northern Ireland (where it is still a heated topic) who said on the news that absolute certain stillborns must be born rather than be aborted because of... Jesus, who else?! Gah!

That's absolutely insane! Donald Trump has come out saying that type of logic, hasn't he? More guns, mean less people die because of guns. Wow. You should move to Britain! At least we settle our arguments with swear words (and occasionally) our fists instead!

Sorry, but the entirety of this post was eclipsed by that second to last sentence.

[jeffthelion]

Ha, that was kind of to see if folks were still reading! You passed the test, well done!

As you could probably guess, when she told me, I found it to be HILARIOUS!

Yay, our amazing anniversary weekend of housey fun times!

If I do the ale trail again I'll do my best to stay on for another pub. Although not having 4 drinks in Batley would help me keep pace! Oh, and EATING SOMETHING would make the whole thing considerably more do-able.

I'm pleased that the terrorist threat isn't stopping us from going out and doing our usual thing. Our twee lives must carry on as normal! xx

[jeffthelion]

Yay, amazing Anniversary/start of Christmas weekend (apart from the cold!)

Maybe, we could even do it properly and visit every pub?! The Raegby League was just too good to leave Batley! Agreed on the eating thing, I remember me and Vausey sneaking off to McDonalds in Huddersfield during Danny's Stag..!

Ha! Touch wood, our twee gigs like Jeffrey Lewis tonight are probably too small to be terrorist targets..! xx
