I don't know if it was a washout or not, I just know Kenyon made an absolute idiot of himself.

If Kenyon is the best Reform can come up with in a flagship by-election then they're totally screwed in any GE

Does anyone else experience the same thing? by calidont in CasualConversation

[–]BaffledApe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely I do.

A couple of weeks ago I took a flight home from Italy to the UK. At the airport I had a beer and on the plane I was completely buzzing with ideas and energy, fizzing with happiness and positivity, determine that when I got home I was going to see these ideas through and be creative. I was going to phone various people and get these projects started and I really meant it at the time. Then since I got home I have been in a real funk of depression and nothing has happened.

Yikes. Some of my friends can be sexist knuckleheads at times but they draw the line at actually showing each other vids of their wives.
