    Hot New Skool Babes

    I think she represents the opportunity inherent in abandoned web domains, a symbol of hope in these troubled times.

    War In Iran

    Remember when HMLT used to post links to Counterpunch or whatever saying that a US invasion was coming ANY DAY now? Good times.

    a few cultural differences

    I think it just depends. My primary school had it a little bit, but in my secondary nobody really bothered apart from the odd snide remark. It was a grammar where everybody was quite academic and focused on work, though. Obviously, I imagine there are schools where it may well be "relentless".

    Reynolds on Middlebrow

    I've heard a couple of things about Reynold's next book being about retro... sounds interesting. One post on Cybore and a recent Resident Advisor piece on the subject mentioned it, but no official site or anything. What's the deal?

    Rationality!

    It what you have to think about before you can think about anything else, isn't it? Do you believe in the things you believe in because they make you feel good, because they help you fit in, because they "seem" to make sense... or because you actually think they're true...

    Armageddon 1983

    Well, I would have got out of doing my GCSE's anyway. "This may be the last voice you ever hear..." "Yay! No school tomorrow!"

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    When I lived with students years ago, we didn't have gas in our house for four months because the previous tenants didn't pay the bill and the landlady couldn't be arsed to sort it out. Luckily the shower and tap water were off the electric, house was still freezing though.

    Radical Fantasy

    Mieville is too much of a straight-up moralistic leftie to be really far-out, guy just cares about human beings too much. Can you imagine Ballard at an SWP rally? Even Orwell thought those types were full of shit. That's not a bad list, tho.

    Falsehoods!

    Was so disappointed when I finally saw Terminator 3 and it didn't have the women who shot bullets out of their tits whilst giving Arnie's robot penis a blowjob. Guess they'd edited out those scenes from the original "20 certificate" VHS my mate Ross had seen ten years previously.

    Pointless But It Makes Me Chuckle to Myself

    When I was drunk at a party last month, I accidentally set my friends camera's exposure compensation too high while trying to turn the flash on. I was gonna sort it out before I left, but forgot. Just realised now that every photo she's posted to Facebook since looks kinda like:

    Stephen King phobia?

    Not really a fan of him or horror in general, but there's one short sci-fi story he wrote called "The End of The Whole Mess" which I think is brilliant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_the_Whole_Mess *SPOILERS*

    The Game - Neil Strauss

    Actually the best way to attract women is to get a girlfriend. You wait ages for a bus and three come along, etc... where were these girls when I was single?

    What are you writing?

    "If I was a Bear" If I was a bear I don't think my life would change that much. I would still drink Erdinger. Bears can drink alcohol, they just don't have any money. I could get money by doing my job like now, I'd need a special keyboard, though. People in my office would be confused but I...
