I'll have you know Kal is the expensive one. Just to order something at PF Chang's, the total came up to 61 dollars after the tip, Mr Had-To-Order-A-3-Dollar-Drink. Coconut of all things. Oh, and let's not forget the lettuce wraps.

Did you hear Theresa May has denied Nicola Sturgeon direct access to No. 10? Apparently now my First Minister must speak to the Secretary of State for Scotland because the Prime Minister is too important to meet the FM.
Tory ministers say having the PM meet the FM implies that they are equals and that is wrong.
They really care about the "precious, precious Union" don't they?

She failed to turn up to many TV debates, I wouldn't take it as just a matter of the union - I'd take it as her being an absolutely piss poor Prime Minister.
Nuremgard, Aghrabia
She is particularly incompetent isn't she? But her ego tells herself otherwise. I've never known a more arrogant PM, and after enduring Cameron, that is saying something.
Aghrabia
TERRA!!!! HELLO BUDDY
Andromitus, Percyton
Cameron was a clart but an alright bloke really - just like Clegg, Miliband, Brown and Farron - some of them may be wet but they're alright in the end. May, on the other hand, either seems incapable of recognising her more than competent opposition, or is confident in her ability to be sh*t in confrontations. I have a feeling she knows her weakness and knows that although not turning up to debates and meetings like the one you mentioned will be a scandal, c*cking them up will be an even bigger one that her reputation simply can't handle right now. Since it's what's expected from her, it's old news and therefore doesn't receive major lime light anymore - so she can just paw off her inability to be a capable leader.

I disagree about Cameron being "alright." It was under him and that nasty little creep Osborne that the austerity cuts really cut deep. And what made it worse is that he had a disabled son yet had no empathy for other disabled people.
Typical Tory. It's all about him and his own.
They're the sensible ones.

I mean he was an 'alright' bloke. Like he wasn't a total arsehole, a sh*t politician, but he has a bit of personality, unlike May - who is a tool.

Nah, I think he is a wanker. Every Tory is.

How ironic. Guess they weren't prepared for that bombing.

Mefudgekingow. Rainbow Space Cat Founder has decided in his infinite wisdom to give you your powers when he has received a sacrifice of either: One(1) of Percy's trains. Two(2) of Percy's humans. Five(5) of Peng's delicious Penguins. One(1) Rainbow Unicorn.
All sacrifices will of course be consumed for the good of Rainbow Space Cat Founder.

I am just going to put this out there, the President of my country Aleksandr Bogdan is indeed a "brutal" dictator that attempting to eradicate the PLR and most importantly Africa of factionalism and sectarian division. Currently, he is having skirmishes on the Ugandan and Angolan borders BUT, I would to clarify that Bogdan does not oppress nor suppress the rights and liberties of PLR citizens. He is a benevolent dictator. Currently, there are rather rebel groups attempting to infiltrate the PLR so for the new couple days or so will be the PLR handling this situation

That's true. Non-binding polls would be fine.
Correct, as of now Magnatronia is a Constable, [nation=short]Republic_City_police[/nation] will retain their Constable status without reapplication
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I would, but since I'm a judge, being a legal adviser at the same time probably wouldn't be allowed. But, if the judge thing falls through, I'll be sure to keep the legal adviser position in mind.

Yup yup.
Oh by the way y'all Lat deleted our old Forums with all the laws saved on it. I saved some of the older files from being trashed but most weren't so lucky.

It's good to have a record of the old laws, but the new Constitution rendered them void.

True, but it's a million times easier to resubmit them if we had a snapshot of them.
By the way, tried WayBackMachine and Google Cache, no relevant copies.

I guess we should have suspected Lat was going to do something like this, given that he left in a huff.

Yeah, kinda really annoying to lose copies of our law and all records of Forum Based RP. I'm really glad to know my paranoid screenshots only get more justified day by day.

Things I learned today:
1) There is a beetle that can draw named Spike and it's famous.
2) I can only look at beetles for ten minutes before I become incredibly queasy.
3) I should not look at Spike.

I'll add an extra thing onto that that's quite interesting - being that dead game (deer) were heavy, hunters would put a pump up their anus to inflate the dead body and then float it down the body to a party of his friends who would wade in and take it into the lodge. Not only were the cabins well placed for a water supply, but often made it easier for a game hunter as he didn't have to log it with him all the way back.
