A mountain out of a ... molehill.

but everything is not the end of the world ... It's regressive and so very fuckin tiresome.

...both come across as children. No insights, just self agrandising, pseudo-intellectual bickering. Pointless.

Just live your life and shut the fuck up.

What you've described there is both the bread and butter of folk like Murray, Shapiro, etc., and also what I think whenever I listen to or read them. Murray's most famous book is called The Strange Death of Europe ffs.

Howerya Kimble! Always a pleasure to hear from you  ;)

This. At least three threads now derailed into point scoring and bitching at each other.

Imagine if Leather Mike was around the place. Be thankful for small mercies.

I'll mea culpa on getting irate at shite if Kev will mea culpa on bringing his anti-woke into Simple Pleasures and Pet Peeves, when we already have a perfectly good trashcan thread for all this shite (mine included). It's clearly marked, so let's keep it where it belongs.

If you recognise that and dislike them for it than why do the same? Just to waffle.

Have read The Madness of Crowds, which I enjoyed. Don't agree with everything but, never do, nor do I have to. Bought my dad Strange Death of Europe, which he put down after 100 odds pqges because, despite agreeing with the sentiment, he wasn't listening to some upper class, Eton educated, toff, Brit spout it. Have you read it or just memorised the title to further your narrative?

I also note how you quickly bundled in Shapiro, despite me stating I don't like him, to try and make your point.


The other lads on the Daily Wire mock the over the top woke shite, Shapiro always looks like he's about to go out bulldozing palestiniens gaffs. He's as sharp as a razor and worth countless millions, but as a lad, no.

We're all just waffling. I try to keep my waffle free of shit that may end up being spat by someone else in some unfortunate's face because they look different or just stepped off the wrong boat into the wrong country. But sure Murray thinks he's doing god's own work too, it's the nature of the beast. Haven't read any of his books cover to cover, and never will, but read plenty of his articles on The Spectator website and have watched him interviewed about his book releases. I know his angle, his method, his arguments, all the rest. The arguments are all the same, Shapiro's too; if you like the former but not the latter, it's only a question of style...which is absolutely understandable. Ye have it relatively lucky though; French media is over-flowing with Murrays and Shapiros, and they get a much bigger mainstream platform too.


The price of timber has fairly inflated and that peeves me.

How can people have so much time to type pages and pages of verbal diarrhea every day?

Sinuses are killing me. Fucking annoying.

Companies who decide "Well, we've come up with this idea, so we're going to roll it out. Then when the public have made it quite clear it's not helpful, or what they want, we'll ignore them, because we know better. In fact, we'll make it even more user unfriendly."

Someone told me recently it's materials in general, and quotes for materials are out of date in 3 weeks.

Insanity if true.

Just saw this shite on my desktop after an update.

Fairly annoying alright. They have to justify their jobs somehow...
