https://news.sky.com/story/two-trains-carrying-tourists-to-machu-picchu-crash-as-one-person-killed-13488953 It wasn't looking good even before my brother turned up unexpectedly. I don't think I'll be getting an early night tonight so even Friday might be a bit optimistic now. However Alvarado's Perunamiso is really just Peronism by another name; an example of non-Communist or Fascist State-Run Totalitarian Capitalism. If I'm being honest then complaining about the delays really only adds to the delays.   https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2025/12/while-im-being-forced-to-make-careful.html

Wednesday December 31st 2025 (31/12/25). Again. You might think you want me working today. Until you realise you don't. 

So I guess this must be my final paragraph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEhC5Uio8do (Come Out Ye Black 'b'day Tans, The Young Wolfe Tones, Official Audio).

https://www.gbnews.com/news/shamima-begum-isis-bride-return-britain-eu-judges-challenge-echr Although, speaking of; "Impotence." I do remember offering to do my solemn duty, by each and every one of the 68,000. In return for simple flights, there and back. I would even be prepared to stand my proof of how much better I am than them. By not going full #BonnieBlue.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2025/12/yeah-i-think-im-going-to-boycott-him.html I would say; "Summary Executions." Except, C'mon now. Let's be completely honest with ourselves.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2025/12/a-bit-of-good-news-for-christmas.html Let's just assume we've had a big gathering. Finally pieced together where 'Buffy' was during old Churchy-church, Chop-chop. About t'ree floors down, feeding us all the best gossip. Of course my working knowledge of Section 3 of the UK Mental Health Act (1983) has somewhat withered since then. However my current understanding is that the NHS, which even used to treat fully paid-up Jews, has yet to use the aforementioned's unshakeable belief in the myth of; "Palestine" to demonstrate that they are mentally incompetent. My current understanding is also that the current rulers of the NHS are big fans of Thaler & Sustein's; "Nudge Theory." In which those considered mentally competent are, gently, encouraged to take responsibility for their own actions. I.e tobacco smokers are, gently, encouraged to stop smoking tobacco. By being forced to pay for, lit...

After wasn't that the reason for all the May 3rd 2023 (3/5/23) fireworks, following Khader Adnan. A Palestinian Hunger-Striker actually stopped eating! Take it from me. Not only aren't they being; "Oppressed." They're not even being Policed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpbrCwEYaaU&list=RDvpbrCwEYaaU (Chickens, P.A.I.N, O.U.C.H, Audio, Topic). Obviously.

However I have assume it still maintains a; "Nutter File." I also have to assume the individual who insisted that; "On The Verge" (2008) only be available via dial-up TOR download is still being tasked...

I'm really trying to get away from this thing where I post four or five paragraphs which, on their own mean absolutely nothing. Even to me. I did manage to do a few more paragraphs today. A few more tomorrow and few more on Thursday. By Friday I might have something actually worth bothering to read.

If the US' naval blockade of Cuba is legal and Israel's naval blockade of the Eastern Mediterranean is legal. Then Yemen's naval blockade of Israel is also legal. Unfortunately the US really wants to bomb Iran. Because generations of angry young virgins have spent their entire careers telling each other they really want to bomb Iran. 

Tuesday December 30th 2025 (30/12/25). New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are definitely out in terms of work. So today I've decided to treat desk work as if its yard work. Jetlag and whiplash can be dealt with on Saturday.

Someone must be able to make the connection. Of course addiction still seems to be an issue of widespread public concern in Trump's America.

Dreaming of the big, beautiful multiplier effects that come from large construction projects. https://news.sky.com/story/anthony-joshua-injured-in-car-crash-in-nigeria-police-say-13488263  However infrastructure development is hugely important. Even if sooo dull I'm in absolutely no rush to get back to doing my job. In discussing the, barely believable, Brazilian Miracle, I touched on how Urbanisation brings a lot of customers together in a small area. Creating large markets which are then served by a large number of shops. Imagine you're a farmer growing a fruit, say Bananas. If you've got to transport your produce to those shops on an Ox-cart along a mud track then it's going to take you a long time, meaning all of your produce will lose a lot of its freshness and a lot of it will be too bruised and damaged to sell. If someone builds a road or railway between your farm and those shops then more produce will arrive fresher. That means more people can buy more of it at ...

It is anything that allows you to understand the fact that the World is Globe shaped. So it's things like the Internet and lots and lots of very boring infrastructure. Things like roads, railways, aeroplanes, ships, airports, seaports and landports.  When the Panama Canal was built steamtrains and steamships had barely been invented. The Suez Canal might have been vitally important in 1956. In 2023 it was a lot less important to Israel's supply-chains than the US, UK & European air-carriers boycotting the country on poorly supported security grounds. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2025/11/a-logistics-hub-which-is-noticeably.html Even that rather paled into insignficance compared to the fact that most...

Monday December 29th 2025 (29/12/25). At least the alarm clock has been restored to its proper place in society.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15415759/Adam-Peaty-hours-wedding-Holly-Ramsay-family-feud.html I was genuinely wondering why it was being reported on, let alone being described as a celebrity wedding.

Wednesday December 24th 2025 (24/12/25). I don't want to be doing this on Christmas Eve. If you look deep inside yourself I'm sure you'll find that you don't want me doing this on Christmas Eve. So let's just agree. I won't be doing this on Christmas Eve.

Looking for nothing more than a solution I offered Hillarys the option of providing a replacement blind according to my measurements which I would then install. Instead they dug in and dug in so deep.
