    A caller to LBC yesterday evening said that he'd taken a train into London King's Cross first thing that morning. The front two carriages were apparently first-class and he said as he stepped on to the platform (from a puntastic 'cattle class' section of a the train) that around 100 people alighted from there.

    One of them was probably Shady stowing away in the wrong carriage having bought an advance cheap livestock class ticket 6 months ago.

    The scoundrel.

    Have any of you cunts actually ever met a farmer? You seem to have got agriculture confused with Downton Abbey.

    I think so. Don't they drive around in Chelsea Tractors, or something?

    I once dated a girl who was in the Young Farmers. She was called Annabelle and she was posh as fuck.

    There's some crossover in the discussion, between farmer and landowner. Farmers can be purely salty sons of the soil (SSS). Farmers who are landowners are generally more minted, and often with behaviours more associated with the right wing and securing inherited privilege, the swines (SS).

    A not-unreasonable heuristic might be that if they fall into this tax bracket then they are wealthy landowners, and if they don't then they are SSSs.

    I love darts.

    It's perhaps the ultimate form of bland nothing, cheap to produce event, used to trap punters in a (controlled space) venue, and flog them endless overpriced food and drinks, while taking money off their diminished responsibilities through the mechanism of reckless poor value punts. Slightly more widely acceptable than a dwarf tossing night, while being duller but more profitable.

    I love darts. It says so much about us.

    Yeah. But nothing quite says 'the weird bit between Christmas and New Year' like the darts being on.

    And Chase the Sun is still ace.

    Someone used the phrase “Twixmas” to me yesterday.

    In normal conversation.

    With a straight face.

    What the cunting hell is that?
