I can see this whole Soapy-Bell thing will end with people having recall problems. If only Soapy had a diary so we could clear things up.
Oh shit, sorry. I accidentally tweeted an ool mun story. Tweet deleted.
I have retreated to a nearby hostelry for a reasonably-priced steak.
For those keeping track, Una’s looked good, as always, but I remembered the size of the schnitzels and gutlessed out.
@dobes Jesus Christ, what is wrong with you?
@stacejarman Thanks. But what I’m after is non-PBS so the eventual journey was worth it.
OH, different person, nasal twang, to bf: “Oh maybe I did meet him there. I was so fucked up that night.”
OH: “… something that came out of a plastic cup, and I thought, ‘You wanker’.”
@stacejarman Someone else suggested Una’s, which is appealing. It was one of my regulars.
@johnb78 No, but what an excellent idea. #noexperimentneeded
This is awful.

I remember when the Cross was part of my local patch. It’s changed so much since those days.
I’m sure there’s somewhere to eat in Kings Cross, Potts Point, or Darlinghurst.
OK, so after THIS pint I’m definitely going to check in and then consider (1) shopping as discussed (2) dinner.
@NuclearAnthro Heh. Yeah, @latingle is one of the finest political writers in the country.
Mind you, is these are the op-eds that are running, IT IS SO FUCKIN’ ON IT CAN NEVER EVER BE OFF.

@expectproblems Not your best.
“Tonight on ‘I’m an Instant Fucking Expert’, North Korea and chemical warfare! Good evening, I’m Dwayne Arsehat.”
@BlogsofWar @CovertContact It sounds to me like an episode on nerve agents and DPRK might be timely, given today’s news.
Regarding those few tweets about nerve agents etc, please be aware that I’ve almost no idea what I’m talking about.
@DDsD @19bk69 True. So my gut feeling comes back to coercion, or low-fact indoctrination, or lying (the reality TV thing).

@19bk69 If you’re prepared, this doesn’t seem too onerous. Also, it’s DPRK. Assassins could well be coerced. pic.twitter.com/pqSJz97xps

@19bk69 If someone hasn’t developed a safe way to deliver a tiny dose of a nerve agent then I’d be very surprised.
