    "Point Break", anyone? Swimming and fishing in toxic, south bay beaches and witnessing the aftermath of botched bank robberies on TV was part of my youth. And it wasn't until last week I saw this in its entirety. A real work of art.

    There was a memorable Strut beef about Kathryn Bigelow going from this, complete with gratuitous Reagan wielding a petrol pump like a flame-thrower scene, to Abu Ghraib torture apologist.


    Great film, and it’s got Gary Busey.

    But seriously a friend put me in touch with her. Dirt cheap and she cooks and does my laundry - maybe that’s an Italian thing.

    How do you end up at these places?  Just happy coincidence?

    It’s a gift.


    The Young-Ones-on-actual-crack flat feels like another life, and he didn’t try, he did steal a 10 foot+ x-mas tree from a front garden and left it in our hallway making all movement between rooms and floors an assault course.
    Happy days.

    This is much more genteel and respectable debauchery. Mrs Duder is simply very curious.

    …that reminds me:

    I’ve spent the summer living in London lodging at a dominatrix’s house. She has a sex dungeon, but to be honest it’s on the first floor, and as a result not quite as soundproof as an actual dungeon. She’s a lovely lady and more of a madam to younger sex workers who come in a few times a week on average for Sub/Dom sessions with their clients. One wall of the dungeon has a trellis type thing with a large variety of objects (gagballs, whips etc) some of which it’s not obvious which end they’d be inserted. There’s a nice leather-bound chair/kneeling thing and a chain hanging from the ceiling (for cuffs?). Also a bed and a big mirror. Generally if I am in when a session is due to start I make my excuses and go out for a pint/cuppa as not only do I not want to listen in, if I was a client paying for some fantasy time, I wouldn’t want the spell broken by someone sneezing in the room next door etc.

    Maybe I’m a prude and I should just lie back on my bed and smash one out to the sound of S&M.

    We're having this issue in my country. Conservative by design are strangling the public health system. Pushing to bring more private options and make themselves rich off of sick people. The latest is Nurses have been stuck with raises under inflation for over a decade. 3 years ago the conservatives pushed through a bill that capped all public servants to 1% raises each year. For nurses, they are now leaving the system at about double the normal rate. Now hospitals have to close for periods of time because staffing issues. The conservative want to just bring in more international nurses. Meanwhile the powers that be push with the agenda that this is proof the public system is crashing. 

    Discussed this at length during some English classes while I was in Quebec. Some of the (shortsighted) students viewed the situation as proof that the USA system was better. I had to share screen —> Google: leading cause of bankruptcy in USA —> then Google bankruptcy in Americans WITH health insurance to really drive home that it is a much, much worse option.


    Quebec making things worse with their ridiculous language requirements: this year they passed a law that anyone entering the country to work - not seeking citizenship - has 6 months to pass French language tests after arrival. My wife says she wouldn’t have gone there (and others like her will refuse to) if this had been law in 2019. All her work is in English, most science labs are staffed by internationals all conversing in English and far too busy doing 12-14 hour days to have time to become fluent in French within 6 months of relocating to a new country + job.

    They expect experienced nurses to retrain and get Quebec qualifications - as if their standard of education is somehow the pinnacle of medical education.


    All of Quebec’s personnel shortages are of their own xenophobic making. Fucking idiots.
