When he was the Labour candidate, I voted for him.

Labour ... did stuff. To him, to their policy direction.

If Lloyd had remained their candidate last year, I might have voted for him in spite of his Party. But he didn't, so I voted Green instead.

Earlier this year, I joined GPEW.

Welcome Lloyd!

Hmm... Moxley has recently proven himself to be a submission specialist.

Because he just KEEPS ON SUBMITTING. Tap tap tap like he's practicing his Morse code.

Why, when "Trumpton" is RIGHT there?

That is a really inventive way to resolve advantage. I love it.

AEW gives me PPV-quality stuff on weekly TV, then somehow manages to crank it up even further for the actual PPVs.

White Brit here and I grew up with some non-related aunties and uncles. Basically my parents' good friends that were Effectively Family by strength of relationship rather than family tree.

It was just completely normal in my family. My parents were Auntie and Uncle for their kids, just the same.

Oh No It Isn't!

ITV doesn't get any of that TV licence fee money.

ITV being where Peston's show is.

The ITV which is advertiser-or-subscription funded (people might choose to pay for ad-free ITVX).

You can SO EASILY not give ITV any money.

Only the 4Music BSL-signed version of Put A Donk On It is worthy of accolades.

That definitely tracks for me. If YP had crystallised in to something specific more quickly, it would probably have picked up my support.

But it has spent a long time being a vague amorphous blob - and during that time Zack has seized the opportunity to really energise the Greens.

It's also Nick Clegg's fault that those arts degrees (in England + Wales, at least) are a bunch more expensive than they used to be.

"Vote against any rise in fees" is the famous lie-line from his time in politics.

I have now found that ending. I appreciate that it acknowledges itself as such.

Is it still a success if I die as well as succeeding?

As a reader: If I have a favourite author, them blurbing a book is something I read as "my parasocial kinda-friend likes this book".

But also the opposite - if I love a book, authors who are blurb-cited on it can come on to my radar as being "authors I might also like", in a broad sense.

He is a truly great commentator. His allegiance was not to one wrestler or another, but to recognising truly excellent wrestling with his whole heart. And throat, too.
