Jubboiter, the adorable destroyer of bodies and future ruler of mankind, now has 6+ chompers in her mouth, is a master of walking, and likes to play fetch. She poops. A lot. Everyone tells us that it is because she's teething. Everything is because she's teething.

It rained on Mal in San Francisco? Jubboiter was teething. Dalty's iOS7 download was slow? Jubboiter was teething.

I still haven't given up eggs.

 Mankind slides inexorably towards enslavement.  Jubboiter IS TEETHING!!!

I'm not entirely sure how to feel about Brand's justification for not voting. Of course, if you're disillusioned with the political system and the options you're given in the elections, you might feel like you shouldn't support that system which doesn't give you proper choices.

On the other hand, though, he's not offering any alternatives. Obviously, he's recognized some major issues that the global community is facing, but we're all aware of these problems. (He does make the point, I guess, that many people - especially young people - actually weren't aware of the inequalities and income disparity in their society, but what has this awareness really accomplished?) What I find problematic is his vagueness as to how he would change the system without participating in it. It sounds like he's content to sit back and let others actually take care of that part.

It's a shame about Grace Slick getting old.

 I think I am a little bit in love with Jennifer Lawrence.

She's a pleasure to watch in interviews.

Isn't there supposed to be 3 shirts?

Mine was covered in baby shit.

It still is. I know it is because I'm wearing it, and I can see the baby shit.

 The Mark Of Jubboiter!   You have been chosen.

I was driving out of the supermarket car-park yesterday lunchtime and I saw a woman with an actual swollen goiter.

It made me strangely happy.

I HAVE A NEW HOME!!!!!!

Well - offer accepted on the apartment I wanted.  Next stop, instruct lawyers and surveyors.

 This place is dead!   To the New Thread Cave!!!!

You're a real trooper, Dalty. We appreciate it.

 It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it.

 Re: new house.

Went for the middle floor of an old Victorian house converted into apartments right in the centre of the county town of Kent, about 45 mins outside the centre of London.

Bring it!

Is that on foot or via some other mode of transport?

 By dragonflight. Only the best and most expensive mode of transport for Ol' Moneybags.

I gave up flying dragons since they started letting the noveau riche and other riff-raff use them!

45 minutes by car from London.  On the edge of the Weald of Kent - the Garden of England!!!   I reckon I am about as far from the centre of London as Newark is from the centre of Downtown Manhattan.

I am closer to the Channel ports and the High-Speed rail to Europe.  Also closer to the airports.

This is kind of cool:

 We are on precisely our 1600th topic.

Quick, somebody ruin it!

Can we trust the topic numbers? Everything's all buggy.

 Not the bug numbers.  They are freaking solid.
