'Dirty Girls'

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

smonster, here's hoping your day gets better.

In more 'I am now your foreign correspondent' news, the UK seems to be imploding. Ordinary people running around going "argh, Conservatives, argh!" a lot. I was apparently giving my country too much credit when I argued we could handle a hung Parliament. On the funny side, the BBC news presenters have been on air since early last night and are still going. We are developing theories about what they've been taking.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Aw, smonster, I hate it when shit like that happens! ... fail~ma?

Government~ma, Seska! Although the phrase "hung Parliament" makes me giggle and say "all of 'em?"

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, smonster. Much love and antifail~ma to you too.

Coffee, of course.

After all of that election info from you, I went and see if I could vote. Well, no, because you have to have an address in Britain and living abroad less than 15 years. I was excited about the idea of voting (again, am a citizen), but then thought that it might not be so wise after all: I don't really know the politics, after all, and I find it not so ethical. Just as I see blind prejudices towards some of the decisions in Israel from abroad, I'd hate to do it the other way around.

But my, aren't civil rights all shiny, too shiny and flirtatious to resist?

I could probably find out for you...

Oh, the number of jokes along those lines we've had on TV and radio shows. There was even a song or two. If we called it a 'balanced Parliament', there'd have been no satire for the past six months.

The BBC people switched off the cameras and went to bed. Which is good 'cause it's 4pm and they started at about this time yesterday.

ETA:

My Irish-citizen partner got to vote (with me acting as her proxy, since she's currently in the States). I find it really weird how you're British and she isn't!

Right now would be an opportune time to invade Britain, wouldn't it?

Yes, but The Girl lives there. She knows what's going on. I never been in Britain. How could I vote, just by what I see in the papers? I really think one has to live in a place before letting his/her opinions to determine the course of the country.

(btw - how can she vote, if she's not a citizen?)

Well not now that you've ruined the element of surprise!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Great. All we've got left is fear and ruthless efficiency.
