[QUOTE=The Jack;51700958]Question for the old folks.
In 1997, was new labour necessary for labour to win? Or were people fed up enough of torries that standard labour would have won.
Just some idea in my head about some crazy right wing conspiracy trying to minimise losses when they knew the torries would loose: make labour like the torries. Or something.[/QUOTE]
yeah labour had to reinvent itself and it just so happened they did it when the tories were at their weakest

I think it's obvious even today that New Labour is the only palatable, marketable form of Labour that speaks to the majority of the electorate. There's a reason the Wilderness years were a thing.

Got a new job lads :excited:
fucking raging, wanted to go gatecrash the Trainspotting 2 premiere as its 5 minutes from my flat and at the most dilapidated film complex ever, but my flatmates bailed and now stuck waiting for food in a restaurant. Pish.
Fuck I bought some pizza at work and left it on the checkout
Fucking great day at work yesterday.
Dog dies outside my window in what I thought was vehicle related, but it chocked on a potato. Then on the way home I find a run over cat that was still alive that I looked after for a few hours before finding an emergency vet. Had to put it down which was best considering it looked like a half used toothpaste tube.
Just before I get a week off work all the cute animals decide to die infront of me.
I didn't catch the sarcasm in the first line of your post so I was reading the rest like "what the fuck is wrong with this guy"

Now I'm having to explain to my teacher how turning the workstation off and on again won't fix the college servers
Some yobbos decided to break into my step-dads car last night, stole a bag from the foot well which contained a toothbrush, headphones and a diary. Problem is they smashed the window and bent the doorframe so it's even harder to replace it.

Sorry to hear that mate.
First day of labs for a design excercises, finished the day's work in an hour of the time then spent the next two trying to get programs to upload to my board from my laptop :suicide: think I've fixed it though
It's his own fault for leaving a bag in the footwell though. Should have expected it really but we live in a nice place and its a shitty car.
Also on another note, I was speaking to two of the security guards at my current job and I was telling the new one how the other believes in aliens, like the little green men. The new one said "yeah they are real." so I was a bit stumped and said, "Well yeah, there are aliens in the universe, but I mean walking around on Earth." and he replied, "Yeah like Lizards."
someone send help
Two of the people who are meant to be protecting the security of the building believe lizard men are among us
Are you implying that lizard men don't walk among us?

How do you guys keep your computers files tidy? Changing from Mac to PC for work this year and my file structure is wanked. Especially photos, the app on Mac was so simpler but I can't find a Windows alternative

Delete it all, that's how I sort it out, upload the important stuff to something like Dropbox, and the photos to Imgur (If there not dick pics) download/save them and then delete the photos from Imgur. That or email the files to yourself.
I Like to micromanage my computer, so under work I'll have subject, then week, then day, it started after my "photos" folder became my "Everythinggoesherenoonefindsanything" folder.
Order a Big Mac without Big Mac sauce. Get home and it's covered in Big Mac sauce. I don't know whether to blame Trump because it's McDonalds or May because it was in the UK so I'm going to blame the West as a whole.
The big mac sauce is the best thing about it though.
They only did it because who orders a Vig Mac with no Big Mac sauce
I do. I'm extremely suspicious of sauces. Like, how do I know it's not Ronald McDonald's ejactulate?
