As relentless as the passing of time and the approach of a referendum on the political destiny of this Moderately Good Britain - so arrives another episode of Cheerful Despair, featuring:

• The actual sound of regular segment Cross Quiz being written
• Dried Homeless food
• My favourite colour is anarchy
• The actual sound of regular segment Debate Bag being written
• Elon Musk vs Romanians working in Subway
• How one man's hatred of furry animals gave us Velcro (other hook and loop fasteners are available)

Government will soon send you a letter explaining why you should listen to Cheerful Despair, but the Daily Mail thinks we're crap.

Trucking - Excelsior!
