Europe through History....
Came across this link, apologies as its via facebook but couldn't find it anywhere else. https://www.facebook.com/mark.delvecchio.7/videos/941931915903515/

Quite an interesting demonstration of how Europe boundaries altered and made me think it might be quite fun to do a similar time lapse of a Diplomacy game if anyone was bored....

Questionable diplomatic tools.
Sure, we do a lot of funny things in this game. But do people have to pull completely inane and hilarious diplomatic tactics? One question is, do they think anyone will believe them, and another is, do they believe them themselves?

I'll give one example, and see if anyone can come up with some more good ones. Here goes: How dare you build an army there! You should have postponed your build, and left the site open to show that you trust me so that I can move in later! It's only fair!

I did not advise you to listen to Wheatus. You're thinking of Weezer.

I am listening to the new Witchcraft album, 'Nucleus'. It's good. Here's a track:

In addition, I'm listening to a few albums, compiling a playlist for a friend.

"Beauty Behind the Madness"- The Weekend
"To pimp a butterfly"- Kendrick Lamar (which should have won Album of the year)
"Forest Hill Drive" and "Cole World" by J. Cole
"Kauai" by Childish Gambino

Not listening to anything at this precise moment, but about an hour ago I was listening to Splann by The Changing Room. It's on Spotify if anyone's interested.

@Octavious: Listening now. Where did you find this? Are all their songs in Cornish?

It has quite a nice sound. I almost feel like this should be our Eurovision entry.
Octavious (2701 D)
19 Feb 16 UTC
I'd love it to be our Eurovision entry, especially with even Spain now going fully English.

They're quite big in Cornwall, and have made quite a splash in certain circles. Most of their stuff is English (I actually prefer the English stuff as I only speak a tiny amount of Cornish). I was first pointed in their direction by a band called Dr Thud's Remedy, who are an excellent mostly Irish folk group who are the best band to get drunk and sing along with in the world :p

Jon Gomm could really benefit from someone writing his songs for him. Amazing guitarist though.

I just finished Life of Pablo by Kanye and now I'm listening to Tallahassee by the Mountain Goats.

Irish Reunification
It will soon be 100 year centenary from the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland, when insurrection finally lead to the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922, freeing a large majority of Ireland from British colonial rule.
For 95 years, Northern Ireland has remained part of the British system, as a constituent region within the United Kingdom.

Northern Ireland's reunification with the Republic of Ireland: Inevitable? Overdue? Unnecessary? A long way off? Let's discuss!

Northern Ireland Secretary
Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers has chosen to support the Brexit "Leave the EU" campaign, despite the majority view in Northern Ireland repeatedly being polled/reported in favour of staying in the EU.

Is this once again making a mockery of the British government's office of Northern Ireland Secretary? Is this role completely inept, showing how out of touch the Conservatives/British government is in its duty of care and representation to Northern Ireland?

Space Programme
Is the Space Programme simply one of humanity's greatest achievements? Or should it be seen as a sign of our failure, that we can spend so much money, energy and resources sending a few men and even fewer women into space, yet we couldn't organise this mass effort to get rid of world hunger or end absolute poverty?

Is the Space Programme the biggest contradiction of our time?
