Words to live by
TURN SOME HEADS MAKE SOME NOISE DO A DANCE AND JUMP AROUND
THIS LIFE IS FAR TOO SHORT TO JUST PASS BY WITHOUT A SOUND
SO LIVE EVERY SECOND LIKE IT MAY JUST BE YOUR LAST
LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE AND MOVE ON FROM THE PAST
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, WE ALL HAVE REGRETS
THE TRICK IS TO LEARN YOUR LESSON - ADAPT AND THEN FORGET
TELL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU CARE ABOUT EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL
BUT NEVER SAY THE ‘L’ WORD UNLESS YOU’RE SURE IT’S REAL
LIFE HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS, YOUR HEART BREAKS AND BENDS
BUT YOU’LL SURVIVE IT ALL IF YOU CAN HOLD ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
AND IF TODAY TURNS OUT TO BE THE ONE YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH
MAKE DAMN SURE YOU CAN SAY THAT YOU LIVED A FULL LIFE SINCE YOUR BIRTH
I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT

RIP DAVY JONES. I have great memories of fun times with people I love attached to the Monkees & their songs, not least dancing on stage to this one when the band themselves performed at my uni in 2004.

I just think this is brilliant. I really want to print this up massive and stick it on my wall.
For a bit of background, basically the DUP are the dominant Unionist party in Northern Ireland. For decades after the partition of Ireland, the Unionists held total, unyielding control of the six counties held by the UK and often gerrymandered blatantly and unflinchingly in order to suppress the Catholic nationalists in the North. The case of Derry City is a textbook example, where the Protestant minority in the city received two electoral wards and the Catholic majority were given only one ward by the boundary commission.
Now this is just delightful, suddenly gerrymandering is an issue to the Unionists, suddenly it’s unfair and unjust. The irony is beautifully sweet and delicious, I’m grinning like a madman here.
