Sobibor, October 14, 1943 means nothing to you then? wtf are you saying here? well, of course there was Zyklon B and the gas chambers, but there was also a lot of not-very technical and plain brutal killing going too. Driving 'gas-vans' around with the exhaust pipe directed into the back...

I'm the girliest swot the world did ever see! AD&D, Autism and Apples for the teacher...these are a few of my favourite things...plus patti H of course: highsmith Oh, why must all the beautiful people be dead? AAARGH! Garbo, Klaus Kinski, Dietrich, Highsmith, Max Shrek, von Stroheim, all...

Hmm...not sure cyanobacteria count as 'babes', tho no disrespect to any trans-species-sexual-preferences-types (algae and related branch) out there. At least the 'big bang' has the advantage of crap sexual innuendo! And is, ahem, a lot 'hotter'....oww....

Ah yes! And burning widows and that kind of thing. Proper fidelity that is.

Mitochondrial Eve! You can't get much more old-skool than that...

Shackles, clitorodectomies, social stigma, fines, that sort of thing, probably...

If you look at the stats given in the Guardian piece, tho, it's not clear that it is 'vastly more common' for kids in single parent families to be worse off mental-health-wise, as Paul Menopause suggests. For example: 'Girls living with cohabiting parents fared better, with around 10% suffering...

His jail sentence does run the risk of making him a martyr of the irrational - like we need more of those...

well I think the slur on Fortean Times (more skeptical than loopy) is also a slur! Owen doesn't mean it about stoners, he'd be a hypocrite if he did ;)

presumably not! but wouldn't have thought anyone would have posted it either...

but posting something that simply states 'don't get tested' and 'don't give blood' is the worst way of introducing a 'debate' about testing procedures.

Fortean Times has a lot more to recommend it than the spontaneous dangerous hippie irrationalism of the original poster. The sheer disgustingness of posting this: for example - 'refuse to test' - what a fantastic idea! don't give blood - you'll only be saving the lives of others fergodsake...

Beckett's 'Film' is fantastic alright...apparently, while they were making it, Beckett and Schneider realised the chair in the room had two 'eye' holes in the top part of the design and so incorporated them into the series of perceiving eyes that haunt Buster Keaton. Marvellous. Best use of...

David Irving probably imagines that HIV/AIDS is a conspiracy and all.

there might have to be a bit of periodisation involved - some of the sixties looks still seem a bit possible to replicate - even if it gets reduced to long straight hair, or twiggy-style short cuts, heavy kohl, op-art dresses etc. It's 40s hair I never see any more! not to mention vintage...

This conversation turns up a lot lately- why don't/can't women look like they used to (hair-wise, figure-wise, dress-wise, eyebrow-wise, etc.)? Not just glam types either, but people's grandma in old photos, etc. Even Highsmith from not that long ago: . It's puzzling

yer, cos the idea of 'straight' music fans listening to music made by queer folk has just so never been done has it...everyone knows that anyone who's ever listened to Ivor Novello, Marc Almond, Peter Maxwell Davis, Liberace or Joan Armatrading....could easily be mistaken for a poofta...

Of course! Obviously, as resident film-hater, I rather loathed this film - I really did, btw, not just being obtuse. Have already been in trouble with Christian sister of best friend over this - actual anger on her part as to how anyone could dislike such a moving tale of personal courage, the...

Martin's patented 'third-nipple fishin' technique eventually let him down.

only if they were girlies....you'd have probably gotten the gift of a goblet from the king. Or something. I assumed you were making it up anyway...boys' nipples are just the most pointless things ever anyway - trust you to have an added dose of pointlessness! Humans are the most maladapted...
