The obverse of the cruel nihilism is that glimpse into the deep interior life of reality. If the ayahuasca works, and you don't puke too much, you are privy to the cascading beauty of a conscious universe. A Niagara of a trillion tumbling jewels, forever churning and evanescing, and creating - at least in our prismatic sense - the shot rainbow of human souls
Or Tuesday as they call it in Prudhoe.

Good to know, should I ever return to working in and around the energy industry.

Happisburgh is beloved by archaeologists. It is the site of the currently oldest evidence for hominids in Northern Europe - around 900,000 years ago. Including the earliest hominid footprints outside Africa - around 800,000 years old.

Most of that still sounds a lot like puking too much.
I didn't puke at all. By all accounts I was in very good hands. The best shit administered by the best shamans, all paid for by trillionaires who import the best juice and the best ritual
Worked for me, anyway
I know this comes across as wank, but it honestly was amazing. Pivotal. A life-perspective changing moment
Everyone should get the chance
Ayahusca is essentially just DMT, right? Available at any rave, just ask the hippie with the biggest dreadlocks. You don't need to be a trillionaire...
Did you see any "clockwork elves"?
I am in the privileged position of having done both
DMT and ayahuasca
DMT is to to ayahuasca what a fine Shakespearian sonnet is to a great Shakespeare play (Hamlet or Macbeth or Romeo & Juliet). They exhibit the same large vocabulary. The same poetic ingenuity. Enough for you to sense that it is the same author, maybe?
Otherwise, there is no comparison.
One - the sonnet - illuminates an emotion and maybe captures a sense of it; the other shines a brilliant, enduring light on the human condition
Well it's clearly worked for you.
It was offered to me earlier this year but I declined as it would a) involve travelling a long way (yes, irony duly noted) and b) as someone staring down the cliffs of middle age, I'm not sure my mind is as malleable as it was twenty years ago. Frankly, I've been in a depressive funk since around Jan/Feb and I always found that bad head space = bad trips.
Perhaps next year...
Mate, I've been depressed - on and off - for about 16 months. Sometimes severely, sometimes just a bit meh. I have had hints of suicidality. And also weeks of feeling fine, but then the dark void appears again.
This is not normal for me. I am used to being down, but I normally get the highs as well. This recent gloom feels much more relentless and it is partly due to the fucking plague and partly due to life events (many of them closely related to the plague)
I have no idea if this NEW post-ayahuasca mood will last but it DOES feel like I have at least nudged the mental needle. I am in a different groove. If I top myself next week, sorry, I was wrong
And I felt every single fear you now feel: I am too old, I have too much shit to stir, I don't want the bad trip, it is scary. All of that was and is true, and yet I had a great experience (again, I say this without tempting fate, I hope I don't open my wrists tomorrow)
Take the Risk. You are never too old for a bit of new religion
Good advice. I too have ups and downs but this year has been one long, hard slog. A whole year of wet weekends spent in a leaky caravan in Skegness.
I wouldn't have dared touch a psychedelic six months ago, but now I'm thinking an experience may well be worth it. Kill or cure, either way, I can't be doing with another year like the last one.
9.22pm - No doubt the candidates will be starting to make their way over to the count by now.
So with less than an hour to go until voting closes, let's have a quick run through the next phase of election day - the count.
Once again, the election count will take place at Shrewsbury Sports Village in the Sundorne area of the county town.
Ballot boxes from across the constituency will be taken there where they will be counted starting as soon as possible from 10pm.
The sports village has been used for all of Shropshire's general election counts since 2017 when all three constituency counts were brought together. Prior to that the 2015 count for North Shropshire was held at Whitchurch Civic Centre.
Now the all-important question is - what time time will we find out who is the new MP for North Shropshire?
Well in previous years the result has come in around 4am - give or take half an hour.
But it really is anybody's guess.
In previous years turnout has been around 68 per cent, but other by-elections across the country in recent times have seen much lower turnouts. However, judging by the stream of voters heading to polling stations today, the turnout could be much higher and therefore, the vote could take longer.
Add into that mix the possibility of an incredibly close battle between the top two or three parties and there may be calls for recounts which will drag out the wait even further.
But one thing we would hope for is that by the time we all wake up in the morning, we will know who the new MP is.

If the ayahuasca works, and you don't puke too much, you are privy to the cascading beauty of a conscious universe. A Niagara of a trillion tumbling jewels, forever churning and evanescing, and creating - at least in our prismatic sense - the shot rainbow of human souls
Or Tuesday as they call it in Prudhoe.
Fun fact: 98% of PBers don't know how to pronounce Prudhoe.
Alnwick used to trip me up until I visited it for the first time.
Now, how many PBers can pronounce Slaithwaite correctly?
Isn't it Slawit? Mind you I'm from Birmingham so I can't even pronounce my own name.
Nah .. the yellow peril play in any colour for a win ..
Jack,
Any predictions for tonight? And the fall out for Johnson?
Sadly I haven't followed this by-election closely. My instinct is that this isn't a Chesham type scenario and the 23,000 maj is one heck of a mountain to climb. Con HOLD but with a vastly reduced majority. Presently I have no betting dog in this fight.
After Omicron, I reckon the next variant's going to be so transmissible it's doubling time actually doubles backwards into the past.
I hope you have all done Ayahuasca as I advised. It gives the most exquisite perspective
Panicked Human: OMFG we're all going to die
God (in a bored but tolerant voice): And?
Panicked Human: This is the the end of the world!
God (sighing): There are infinite other worlds. Have a beer. Sorry I forgot your name?
Sounds a bit disappointing.

9.22pm - No doubt the candidates will be starting to make their way over to the count by now.
So with less than an hour to go until voting closes, let's have a quick run through the next phase of election day - the count.
Once again, the election count will take place at Shrewsbury Sports Village in the Sundorne area of the county town.
Ballot boxes from across the constituency will be taken there where they will be counted starting as soon as possible from 10pm.
The sports village has been used for all of Shropshire's general election counts since 2017 when all three constituency counts were brought together. Prior to that the 2015 count for North Shropshire was held at Whitchurch Civic Centre.
Now the all-important question is - what time time will we find out who is the new MP for North Shropshire?
Well in previous years the result has come in around 4am - give or take half an hour.
But it really is anybody's guess.
In previous years turnout has been around 68 per cent, but other by-elections across the country in recent times have seen much lower turnouts. However, judging by the stream of voters heading to polling stations today, the turnout could be much higher and therefore, the vote could take longer.
Add into that mix the possibility of an incredibly close battle between the top two or three parties and there may be calls for recounts which will drag out the wait even further.
But one thing we would hope for is that by the time we all wake up in the morning, we will know who the new MP is.
I like the fact the live blogger is called Barrie White. I trust him to tell me who's first, who's last, and everything.
But what candidate heads to the count 40 minutes before polls close? For a start, polls haven't closed. But, even then, any sane and serious Parliamentary candidate waits until they get a call to tell them the situation they're walking into before turning up.
After Omicron, I reckon the next variant's going to be so transmissible it's doubling time actually doubles backwards into the past.

On a trip up north, my dad asked me to navigate to ‘Annick’. Which I did. He was not amused when we reached said village, as he was wanting directions to Alnwick... Norfolk has Happisburgh, known as Haysbrough, and Costessey, known as Cossey. And never forget Wolfardisworthy in Devon...
Happisburgh is beloved by archaeologists. It is the site of the currently oldest evidence for hominids in Northern Europe - around 900,000 years ago. Including the earliest hominid footprints outside Africa - around 800,000 years old.
900,000 years ago it was called Ug but pronounced Ug.

Only those that have been there know how to pronounce Evesham.
My parents were posh Welsh and it was Eve-sham. All the skanky Brummie kids at school with me called it Eve-E- shum. As a matter of fact I was on a landfill site at Throckmorton on Tuesday.
We shared a dining table on a cruise with Mr. Considerably Richer Than You, who lived there and pronounced it Eve-E-shum. Good to know he was really just a skanky Brummie!

On a trip up north, my dad asked me to navigate to ‘Annick’. Which I did. He was not amused when we reached said village, as he was wanting directions to Alnwick... Norfolk has Happisburgh, known as Haysbrough, and Costessey, known as Cossey. And never forget Wolfardisworthy in Devon...
Happisburgh is beloved by archaeologists. It is the site of the currently oldest evidence for hominids in Northern Europe - around 900,000 years ago. Including the earliest hominid footprints outside Africa - around 800,000 years old.
900,000 years ago it was called Ug but pronounced Ug.

Many locals call it Slawit but I always called it slathwaite.
9.22pm - No doubt the candidates will be starting to make their way over to the count by now.
So with less than an hour to go until voting closes, let's have a quick run through the next phase of election day - the count.
Once again, the election count will take place at Shrewsbury Sports Village in the Sundorne area of the county town.
Ballot boxes from across the constituency will be taken there where they will be counted starting as soon as possible from 10pm.
The sports village has been used for all of Shropshire's general election counts since 2017 when all three constituency counts were brought together. Prior to that the 2015 count for North Shropshire was held at Whitchurch Civic Centre.
Now the all-important question is - what time time will we find out who is the new MP for North Shropshire?
Well in previous years the result has come in around 4am - give or take half an hour.
But it really is anybody's guess.
In previous years turnout has been around 68 per cent, but other by-elections across the country in recent times have seen much lower turnouts. However, judging by the stream of voters heading to polling stations today, the turnout could be much higher and therefore, the vote could take longer.
Add into that mix the possibility of an incredibly close battle between the top two or three parties and there may be calls for recounts which will drag out the wait even further.
But one thing we would hope for is that by the time we all wake up in the morning, we will know who the new MP is.
I spent half of today in the constituency, but didn't actually see anything very helpful in terms of working out what would happen! But the pubs are nice, so that makes up for it I suppose.
Enjoy them while you can. Most will be out of business by the new year unless Sunak gets his arse in gear.
I do like that, whenever this kind of thing is reported, it's "Senior Tories".
If you want an insight in these circumstances, the person with the best idea is the nerd on the computer in the corner of the party HQ. It's not the bloody Secretary of State for Transport or whatever - they don't have a scooby.

Only those that have been there know how to pronounce Evesham.
My parents were posh Welsh and it was Eve-sham. All the skanky Brummie kids at school with me called it Eve-E- shum. As a matter of fact I was on a landfill site at Throckmorton on Tuesday.
We shared a dining table on a cruise with Mr. Considerably Richer Than You, who lived there and pronounced it Eve-E-shum. Good to know he was really just a skanky Brummie!
Having read your post with mine enclosed I have just realised my oxymoron- "posh Welsh"!
Friend of mine - his mum and dad lived there. I recall it as Evsh'm with a long e. Am I wrong?

Shapps has never had a scooby to be fair.
One hopes that the story tomorrow morning is that the Tories would have got away with it, if it wasn’t for those pesky Libs.
Higher than normal turnout for a by-election would make the Tories nervous . It would suggest a lot of people wanting to prove a point .
I have no idea about turnout TBH. I started out thinking that it would be close to 50% then rounded it down to near 40%, expecting a lot of apathy from tory voters but now I don't know.
Brecon and Radnorshire in 2019 was close to 60% but that didn't particularly signify anything as it reverted to a safe Tory seat at the GE and it was a high turnout seat anyway.

Boo!
Any predictions for tonight? And the fall out for Johnson?
I wouldn't have dared touch a psychedelic six months ago, but now I'm thinking an experience may well be worth it. Kill or cure, either way, I can't be doing with another year like the last one.

Try it. Can it get any worse? It might just get better. And it might get a lot better. If we cannot expand our literal horizons, we can explore within our souls, and no one can stop us with a fucking quarantine
It's been a long day - and it's set to be a long night - but voters have less than 90 minutes to cast their ballot papers before the count begins.
There are still some updates to be had with Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats praising the efforts of those who have supported Helen Morgan's campaign over the last few weeks.
Meanwhile, residents will no doubt be looking forward to filling their recycling bins daily with election material...
Hope they read up on the Trades Description Act.

One of my best friends (east coast Scottish as the day is long) as best man to his brother who was marrying a weegie pronounced it as it looks in his speech, to much hooting.
But what candidate heads to the count 40 minutes before polls close? For a start, polls haven't closed. But, even then, any sane and serious Parliamentary candidate waits until they get a call to tell them the situation they're walking into before turning up.
Whilst Johnson and his cronies have one party after another.
Yeeahh!!!
Jarrad Branthwaite goal and superb defensively on his debut. Impressive on the ball too. MOTM.
Anthony Gordon top class too.

9:46pm
As we look to wrap up polling day, let's take one last look at what the bookmakers have to say.
In contrast to what we've been seeing for the last 24 hours, odds on the Liberal Democrats winning have shortened in the last hour or so.
Skybet, Paddypower and Betfair all have Helen Morgan as 4/7 favourite to win, while Coral and Ladbrokes have her at 8/15.
The Conservatives are seeing their odds lengthen with Coral and Ladbrokes offering 11/8 as their best price.
Meanwhile, the Labour Party has drifted with Paddypower and Betfair offering 50/1.
But as I am shattered I doubt I will last to 2am never mind 4am.
The one we want to know about is the Christmas do.
They were absolutely no fecking help when I had to deal with a Scotsman with the surname Balloch.
