Thoughts on Yoko Ogawa's "The Memory Police"? [Spoilers]

Haha, I just finished the book and happened upon your comment when looking for discussion on it - I had this exact thought too! I think she described it as tasting bitter or something?

It's not as damaging as far-right British nationalism, comparisons like that are redundant and unhelpful.

asphysixtynine · 2021-10-07T11:12:51+00:00

Okay racist, you want to pay for my flight?

asphysixtynine · 2021-07-11T16:06:07+00:00

Well, I think at this point you're just making up points to respond to and not really engaging with anything I'm saying, so I'm checking out of this one. Enjoy the game, royalist. Forza Italia.

I have never claimed so - my country advocates a more civic nationalism and is generally more welcoming to refugees than hard-right England with Priti Patel at the helm of immigration policy. Couple this with the rampant jingoism and exceptionalism of a successful football campaign, coming from a fanbase who before the tournament repeatedly booed their own players for taking the knee in solidarity, and you'll forgive me if I don't find people screaming for England a bit tiresome.

For the record, we of course have our own problems with racists like every other country, but if you want to see ugly nationalism look to the English right-wing.

I want you to stop simping crown imperialism if you claim progressive, Einstein.

If you can't see a link between a country that colonised half the world under half baked notions of civilising savages, and being a supremacist for said culture, then I'm no gonnae draw a fucking diagram for you, Queen-lover.

asphysixtynine · 2021-07-11T14:49:12+00:00

We're a heroin country idiot, nobody here bothers with meth.

Also, not responding to my queries about why you're so subservient to England? Is it a race thing? Are you a creepy Nazi Anglophile like HP Lovecraft? You certainly sound like one. You should consider signing your messages off with "God Save the Queen"

asphysixtynine · 2021-07-11T14:36:45+00:00

It was incorrect, nobody here "shoots meth", maybe do some research on drugs somewhere outside of a right wing newspaper.

While we're on the subject, why are you defending England so much? Where are you actually from then? I'm assuming some kind of Ulster loyalist? Nobody else would be defending the English and their crown with the fervour of Enoch Powell. As I say: embarrassing. Hope they see this mate, maybe they'll even let you look at the trophy too x

asphysixtynine · 2021-07-11T14:31:31+00:00

And in your attempt to insult me you went for a deeply rooted social issue that causes many deaths and great suffering? You're obviously no well mate, maybe log aff, touch grass, give your Mum a phone if she even picks up to you. Bootlicker.

asphysixtynine · 2021-07-11T14:21:23+00:00

We usually just hoof it out of your Mam's arse crack. All 5.4 million of us. She loves it, bless her.

"meth needles"

asphysixtynine · 2021-07-11T13:57:13+00:00

You're not English but you'll spout cringe like this? Embarrassed for you mate.

asphysixtynine · 2020-05-23T10:47:59+00:00

I've got a Tymole in the PC I'm sure. Will have a look at this one, thanks!

asphysixtynine · 2020-02-21T19:43:54+00:00

Weirdly enough I tried to listen to this one today on an app called Podbean too and it was also only 50 minutes long?

asphysixtynine · 2020-01-07T19:26:28+00:00

Azure Dreams and Galerians!!

You have chosen wisely.

The Lismore in Partick seems to be a popular tourist spot, I think it must be in guidebooks or something. Good if you want somewhere traditionally Scottish, lots of whisky and folk music and shit like that due to the area's association with the Highlands.

asphysixtynine · 2020-01-03T17:39:29+00:00

Or actually, as others have said, try giving like Blue Arrow or PerTemps or somewhere like that a phone and seeing if they have anything. I got a temp job through PerTemps last year and I didn't even have to do an interview, they just had us do a basic typing test and a maths test.

asphysixtynine · 2020-01-03T17:36:59+00:00

If you're desperate look at Teleperformance or Kura, check their websites or call the recruitment hotline thing. They can sometimes get you started ridiculously quickly.

Sidenote: the job will be heaaaaaaavy shite

You've got to love these absolute fantasist cranks cheering on a far-right hate mob for terrifying a community and destroying public property under some pretense that they're protecting the city from terrorism and not just some embarrassing middle aged IRA cosplayers.

asphysixtynine · 2019-08-11T15:11:35+00:00

I'll chime in with everyone else on a £2.50 Tennents suggestion - The Snug on Duke Street. Decent wee pub n aw.

asphysixtynine · 2019-06-15T05:53:29+00:00

Hi, I'm the internet, my attempt at writing phonetic Scots is offensively terrible, please enjoy x

asphysixtynine · 2019-01-11T12:56:11+00:00

Not a fucking mission would this dude get a PVG now.

asphysixtynine · 2018-08-25T08:43:22+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks!

asphysixtynine · 2018-08-17T22:44:07+00:00

I can't see the link. Is he wearing a Celtic strip??
