plushophilia, but it's a love thing, not a sex thing.... Oh, and the thought of Charlotte Rampling having sex with a chimpanzee. Handily, someone made a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max,_Mon_Amour">film</a> about it, though it's not quite explicit enough!

There are some nice cads on this board! The foppish-rakish-debonair continuum can be a good thing....

ah! I generally like cads, tho not posh ones.

um, what's Flashman?

I'm shocked at the number of all-boys schools on show here. I didn't think there were that many of 'em left...weird victorian morality.... I went to my local Wiltshire comp, like Billie Piper, tho not the same one (sadly). It was quite good, though I'm vague on the details mostly cos I was...

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gy%C3%B6rgy_Ligeti">Gyorgy Ligeti</a> has <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5072858.stm">died</a>, aged 83. :( Dissensus's <a href="http://johnsonsrambler.wordpress.com/2006/06/12/gyorgy-ligeti-rip/">Rambler</a> on the sad news.

a certain kind of institutionalised art (the type that applies 'theory' to rubbishy conceptual pieces in particular) seems to get massive amounts of money chucked at it these days, despite being no good. Clearly at the same time there are loads of poor good artists doing various interesting...

Luigi Nono's pretty big in the neo-classical/experimental world (dunno about his singing tho)... My name in real life would fit yr premise, but then I'm quite small and I've never sang on record - I do sing idly from time to time tho, and used to in choirs and everything...horrah! I'm working...

do they fancy adopting any more (rather too old) godchildren?! you lucky modernist pup!

but they did give us Plato and the philosophical defence of buggery and wine, so they can't be all that bad.

that's a very pretty version of something like <a href="http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dp5/pattern2.htm">Chladni's sound figures</a> (late 18th century), though they use a bow on the side of the sand-plates - same effect tho.

and wot time are u on owen, how much is it, and wot is address for 93 feet east? do you not want anyone there or something?!

yeah, not v. helpful there owen (bumps up thread)! it's a zine called 'totally bored', art 'n' articles and all that. you can buy it at select places in london and brighton (i think).

Seconded - this is unmissable - a big influence on Luigi Nono and others.

I think I have one of these - I never manage to do the washing up in time before I run out of receptacles for my cereal.

yep, totally right about this - what's worse I think is the confusion that follows from students thinking of themselves both as consumer-clients and at the same time as potentially-criticisable subjects of improvement/learning. It's this total lack of clarity that makes people (both students and...

If people sign up for a course in which the demands placed upon them are obvious from the start, then (unless there are extenuating circumstances) they should be failed if they deliberately flout them. If you tell people they'll fail if they cut and paste from wikipedia and they do it anyway...

and I thought this would be a dead thread The major point about plagiarism from any source is simply to do with lack of references. What I'm talking about is people cutting and pasting chunks from wikipedia about a particular topic, not identifying the source, and changing a couple of words to...

Some of you lot are teachers, now or in the past, and/or have been students at one point or another - this thread is for you! Am marking 2nd-year university essays for a London college (shall remain nameless). Literally massive amounts of internet plagiarism (usually from wikipedia). The...

goldfinger's house 2 Willow Road, Hampstead. Some existing cottages had to be demolished so that Goldfinger could accomplish his vision - much opposition to this at the time from conservative Hampstead residents. Ha! The bloke in the photo is dissensus' very own 'modernist tours operator'...
