Let’s not forget that the longer Brexit goes on and the worse it affects us, the harder it will be for Farage to avoid the blame. He couldn’t win an election now and I think his prospects can only diminish so long as he is held to account.

Really wish I’d not searched for that now 
On a slightly more optimistic note there’s some (admittedly limited) better news from the US here:

Yeah it’s not great news!
the RIP race.
When people seem desperate to be the first to post a RIP on Facebook. Me and the wife have even started betting on who out of the usual suspects will get there first.
Surely they would stop and think that the people they know will have, most likely seen 20 of these posts already? Aren’t they a bit embarrassed to be seen for the desperate bandwaggoning?
Is this a perfect example of narcissism to show that they are posting about themselves but never consider/look at what others a posting?
(disclaimer-It’s a bit different in the forum as it’s a conversation)

On a related note, discovering that everyone is actually a massive fan of the deceased despite never having mentioned them in any capacity in 10+ years of posting

rest in power… I mean,
you had a whole life struggling, trying and surviving, making sense of it all… so finally you die and then, when you deserve all the peace in the universe…
you still have to
rest.
in.
power…

i haven’t done it yet, but i plan on writing the eulogies for my parents (both alive and feeling pretty good at this time) so i can share it with them. it may need fact-checking, etc. and who better to do so?
i am big fans of theirs, and hope to mention it before they die!
yes, it seems sort of grim but my dad, at 80 years old, is now having fun by mentioning “well, that’s the last time i’ll ever have to do that” (buying a car, remodeling his bathroom, those sorts of things).

I think some eulogies are more sincere than they appear. You might never have posted anything about say Tony Hart or Floella Benjamin but their passing would still instil an immediate childhood nostalgia.
The worst ‘grief tourism’ imo is people latching on to someone cool they obviously had no interest in…

Just putting this here as the thread has a lot of views…
Those 1970’s 80’s maybe nineties clear PVC plastic record sleeves. They do warp, discolour and ruin the vinyl so get them in the bin. Just a BT express album that has rotted in my ownership but get them binned asap as you may have them on some expensive albums.

I took all plastic sleeves and any shrink wrap of my entire collection years ago. Not only do they look and feel better, they’re in no risk of vinyl cancer from petroleum in sleeves etc.
