Europe

[raven]

Can anyone tell me if the Council of the European Union and the European Council are the same thing?

Talking of Europe (which I have been for the last hour; explaining the functions of the European Commission and its twenty-one commissioners to the wall) Pedar wants me to vote on his behalf in the European Parliament elections next week, despite my protests that this is a) unethical, b) immoral, and c) incredibly illegal. I think I'll vote Conservative just to piss him off.

Huh. I'm bored. Of revision and stuff, and also of life in general. I can't write anything unless I start from scratch, for obvious reasons; cue a time-wasting poll.

[Poll #302873]

I really liked the ideas I got from the last one of these, so it seemed worth doing it again just for something to think about. As a brief reminder, I can't write about what I don't know, but I do know Stargate, M*A*S*H, Harry Potter, Good Omens, Discworld, Enterprise, Red Dwarf, and His Dark Materials. I won't promise anything, but I have a lot of reasons to procrastinate, and well, you never know.

Seriously... what is up with that? I've just been making a beach themed cabinet at work and in every (British) (beautifully illustrated) book that has gone in, from the 19th century to the present, donkeys are inevitably ridden. Do people really ride donkeys at the beach? I was going to e-mail you to ask you but this works too...

If it's something that just kids do, which seems likely, make it AU and have them bring Harry or something. ;)

Of course people ride donkeys at the beach! Patrick and I went down Southport pier a couple of days ago and walked past a lot of donkeys with bells on their harnesses. I think adults can ride them if they're light enough, but you don't see that much. In any case, I love donkeys. Riding them is much more fun than riding horses.
