If I'd travelled a couple of hundred miles to watch a giant telly in a park, and it broke. I might be a little miffed.
N.b. the police said they were provoked by people taking their pictures,
Hope the Household cavalry use them at Buck house.
Skewer a bunch of camera flashing tourists.
The ASDA of satire.
"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.

What's mentally unstable about that, it's peculiar. I once went to a RPG convention in Filley, in winter.
Nothing wrong with peculiarity.
Now thinking they might win, that's a different question.
I love the irrational hope of Scottish football supporters.

I love their square sausages.

I could turn the board offline in order to catch up, but that wouldn't help you any, Ellie!
