Day UK leaves the EU: 29th March.
Day UK government bans internet porn: 1st April.
Nothing can go wrong here… nothing at all!
Seems you will be able to visit porn websites if you go into an actual shop and physically purchase some kind of weird licence for a fiver, which you’ll need to use within 24 hours. This will be sold to you by the very last person alive that you want thinking of you and sex. Though even getting to the counter may well mean having to fight your way through a violent melee involving people fighting over toilet roll AND people who left it too late to buy bread and are now battling it out for the last Soreen.

QuoteWon't it be really easy to get around?
In short, yes. It won't be impossible for under 18s to access porn. There's still going to be plenty of pornography that can be easily viewed through social media. Additionally virtual private networks (VPNs), which connect to servers in other countries, can be used to get around age verification checks.
I bet the PM’s husband or close relatives have all bought a lot of shares in VPN coders. Growth market there!
Christ, though, imagine having to rely on twitter to get off “Oh yeah… work that outrage… copy paste that joke… oooh baby.”

I’m now imagining the inevitable accidental retweets.

“Members of the house. I wish to confirm that my right honorable friend, the minister for moral rectitude, is not actually in love with Bailey Jay’s penis. This re-tweet was an accident by an aide who has now been relieved of social media duties.”

So, having managed to somehow wangle the day off work, I have spent most of it rewriting and redrafting an original story based on an idea by JayDee. There’s a little bit left to go, but I think I’m going to leave that to tomorrow since it concerns the ending, and I want to pitch it just right. I have no idea if this is any good at all, but I’ve decided to just wallow in the feeling and use it should I ever need to describe performance anxiety. I mean, who knows? One day, I might finally have gotten Elrond off with so many people that he really can’t… you know… face it.
That’s a lie. If that ever happened, he could always face it…
There’s no sex in this story. I’m going to need to write some after this. I’ve got several smut-filled unfinished tales to choose from. Maybe I’ll pick on Brienne & Co. Or Rikki. Mmm… Iason.
Okay, I am sleeping!

Oohhh…. Iason….

Well, I have done it, so off I go now to see if I left anything on the next Iason/Rikki chapter!
I finally write something that I could legitimately have my mother read for me, and it’s ten pages long, so I already know she can’t be bothered. Ah, well.

Reading isn’t for everyone! Shame though, it’s good to share stuff with friends and family. Not something I do tbh!

Well, I’m back, and I may even be writing again. I’m not going to say what’s been happening, because that would just bore you all – and me. Suffice to say I suspected it before, but now I know that Hell is dually purposed as a carpet shop. You’ll finally realise how many rugs you’re standing on when cackling demons start pulling them from under your feet.
Something is off with the universe lately, but perhaps it’s settling itself. Except, there’s Brexit to look forward to. Of all the things I hate, I hate that I’ve become one of those insane people who keep shelves full of bottled water… just in case. All we need is a second referendum, then the people of this country will vote ‘No Deal’ like lambs to the slaughter.
Ah, well.
For as long as it’s possible, I may as well potter about in my own AU’s.

I’m slowly getting them all back up. I’m trying to re-read for typos and egregious mistakes, so maybe this is a blessing in disguise, but everything will be back up eventually!

Okay, who opened The First Seal?
I mean, whoohoo! pippychick’s back!
I think with Brexit a prison mentality could be better – stock up on high value tradable items like cigarettes, prepaid phone cards and high quality pornography. Then trade a pack of smokes for bottles of water! Wait, I just remembered, black market profiteering is immoral. Nevermind. Stock up on essentials and cross fingers it doesn’t go like post soviet Poland when the free marketeers fucked the entire country.

Those sneaky carpets and dastardly demons. Damn them, damn them all to Hell... Wait…
Welcome back. Here's hoping demons, carpets, and other things leave you be for a while so you can get a lot of writing in. Fingers crossed... eyes and toes, too.
