So, the Spanish government coalition has finally collapsed (it was difficult to sustain, it being dependent on the separatists), and we're getting a snap election this April.

Polls show the socialists winning the vote, but a hung parliament unless we get a coalition of right and far right parties (hugh).

Didn't know the gestation period for horse was nearly a year, indeed most 'Equine'* animals have one of around a year long. Who knew.



*whatever the correct term is.

Apparently it's official advice when writing for the civil service to be boring.

That was the case since the 17th century. "Allow me to tell you that you put too much passion into the letters you write me. It is important for you to be short and to the point, and even to write different letters for different matters. Only then will your letters make an efficient use of my time" J. B. Colbert to one of his underlings, 1663.

[Valmy]

Yes. It's dying.

Aren't we all? But it seems to have picked up a bit lately.

[Habbaku]

I've certainly been posting more since I got an office job.

I miss most of the people on that list.

I'm looking at you, useless human babies.

I went all KonMari with internet a year ago or so (no Facebook, no twitter, no IG), and nowadays I only post in two forums, this and Spanish EUOT. I may find myself posting in BGG if I'm really really bored, but that's it.
