Krispy Kreme donuts.
I hate living in the borough of sodding Camden. I fell over on an uneven paving stone while using my walker. Ironically, I was taking The Girl to the doctor's for a procedure she was nervous about. She ended up looking after me. (And bought me Krispy Kremes.)
And, indeed, there are times I don't love living in London, generally. They're actually filling in elevator shafts at tube stations where money for disabled access has run out. [link]

Gronklies. For some reason, I couldn't get to sleep until about 4 last night. Then, even without an alarm set, I woke up at 8:30.
You ok, Seska?

So where's the money coming from to fill in the shafts? There's no money for PROVIDING disabled access, but there is money for OBSTRUCTING it? Alrighty then.
And I thought politics here was sick-making. Are they going to call it the Allen Smithy plan?
I was in a discussion about how I was moving from Agnostic towards Atheism, mostly in a joking way about how I really just needed to make up my mind. But the discussion was a good one, with a lot of people chiming in.
When DH says we're Agnostic, I tell him we're just Atheists who can't commit.
Somebody refresh my memory - WHY do we clear snow out of our driveways? It's not just a silly superstition, is it?

Because Mr. Plow looks sexy in that jacket?
That name again is Mr. Plow.
See, he needs to get over himself, acknowledge that Christmas is Christian, but admit that he likes it anyway. Trust me, it will be ok.
Many atheists who were raised in religious households are very adamant about which god/s they don't believe in, is the thing. To a certain kind of ex-Christian atheist, Christmas can't be about Christ, because THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM ANYMORE LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOOUUUUUUUUUU. And it sounds like Hil's co-worker (?) roots his atheism pretty firmly in a non-belief in Jesus.
(Since I was raised Jewish, neither Christmas nor Jesus had anything to do with my eventual realization that I was an atheist - they pretty much stayed just as irrelevant as they ever were, you know? The bits of mainstream atheism that are about being pissed off at Christianity go right over my head.)
