Not catching up on Line of Duty

So I was planning on writing a sweeping, but depressing, post encompassing the latest volume of the LRB, today's UK elections, my job, the Guardian and how empty the whole damm lot makes me feel inside. But you are spared that for, I remember, I promised to learn the rules of "Race for the Galaxy" before we next meet to play boardgames, and I haven'. So I will. I shall sit here with a pint of East London Brewing "Jamboree" (a more than passable Golden Ale) and learn the rules of "Race for the Galaxy" and my life will be all the better for it.

And you shall be spared my nihilistic drivel.
