    Mark Hollis/Talk Talk

    Jukeboxes

    was in Bradley's Spanish Bar off Oxfors St last night and noticed that its got a new juke box. Its still an old school 7" one, still sounding great . Was wondering what other places had good jukeboxs, which thankfully seem to be making a bit of a comeback and pubs and bars stop paying poeople...

    "curate" = mark of the tosser innit

    you'd never get away with "Ministry of Sound: The Annual, curated by Judge Jules" would you? did it not start with meltdown when "artists" like Laurie n Lou got involved: its at the south bank therfore its art

    Dodgy Boozers

    know what you mean, Ive never understood people (men mostly) who seem to think that just cos the guy behind the bar nods to you when you come in means that you're part of some sort of high status "local" caste, it just means your're drink far too much and you dont go anywhere else, you're not...

    Campaign for Nuclear Energy.

    while nuclear looks attrative at the moment its a bit like getting cash off your friendly local loan shark to pay off this months card card billl, everything will be great for a while and then there'll a knock at the door... The end of cheap energy is a bit nearer than we think

    Politicians you trust/admire/respect etc

    Migration

    I'd like to strike an all too rare positive note in this area. I'm involved in a scheme that enables uk citizens to befriend refugees, helping them with their english, and spending time with them to to get a grip on all the cultural stuff that we take for granted but can often be very...
