You know you don’t really need tactical voting websites right?
If you don’t know it, google your town and “constituency”. Look it up on Wikipedia. Format is “your constituency (UK Parliament constituency)” Scroll down the page until you see the table for the 2017 election results. If you like the party in first place, vote for them.

Return to Romania
My family are Hungarians from Romania. My parents fled Romania in the 1970’s to escape persecution.

This site has been given a makeover to be a better hub for all my stuff. Photo galleries have been improved. I’m still shuffling the content around and going back through my archives to add more. Global Domination Enterprises, my fanfic site, has been given a new look and I’ve added a bunch of old stories that haven’t seen the light of day in a while. I’m still working on improving the pagination of chapters, but the content is now up…

Guide To Avoiding Harassment Charges In The Workplace
Apparently some people are having trouble discerning what is and isn’t harassment in the workplace and are concerned that “politcal correctness gone mad” means that no one will ever be able to fancy and ask out anyone in the workplace ever again. Here’s a helpful guide for if you find yourself in this position. Scenario 1: Co-worker approaches fellow co-worker in the kitchen/break room “Hi, do you fancy going out for a drink sometime?” “Yeah, that’d be nice.” They go out for a drink sometime. They eventually end up living together or married. Conclusion: Not harassment Scenario 2: Co-worker approaches fellow co-worker in the kitchen/break room “Hi, do you fancy…
