I like the cur of yr jib. somebody care to explain what this is????????????

o the hilarity, i bet you could reel off a million of those postcode-based jokes, hunh???? good on ya. this place needs a little humor.

http://www.fusion-festival.com four days/five nights on an ex-soviet airfield in old east germany. friendliest, most far-reaching and in some parts genuinely bonkers (as in trapeze artists flying across former missile bunkers) festival i've had the pleasure of. not sure if i'll go, might have...

don't know where i got the train station idea from. i think maybe the university metaphor would be difficult to not groan at, but the prospect of a jesus-goat from computer untimely ripp'd stands full possibility of making up for it. :rolleyes:

exactly, yes. but i was trying to give as few indicators of the conscious/subconscious distinction as i think that's where all the tensions in the first half of the book build with the gradual exposition of this fact, which makes the ultimate fall at the end so much more poignant and dramatic...

trying not to ruin this for those who have not read it, but i think that applies to the alternate character in the 'end of the world' section having a choice to escape, which he avoids. as far as i remember the calcutec is told that the work he has done for the professor has an irreversible...

not to mention the reduction of popular autonomy to whether one is 'man enough' to buy a Yorkie, exercises enough dilettante cultural tourism to order an iced frappuccino or some shit in Starbucks, has enough pandering yay-saying flimwads around them so they can 'look good naked' yadayadayada...

totally. not entirely certain i remember perfectly but i think its in the second to last chapter where the calcutec guy just sits down somewhere in the park or something, doing nothing, just letting the realisation of [insert spoiler to ending here] unravel in his mind and knowing he has no...

Still see a few bikers around there nowadays, and there's regular thrashy nights that go on on fridays. not sure whether barbs are imbibed, however ;). actually friday line-ups vary quite a lot. our thursdays are only monthly but it's as far as we can push it at the time being considering a lot...

absolutely, only i kind of think you have to make relative dialectical judgements on the tensions between rival subcultures and sub-subcultures, as opposed to thinking of there being something like 'the rest'. generally i think the reason a lot of subcultures are wary of rival subcultures is...

have been meaning to read 'brighton rock' with best intentions for about 6 years. the worst thing is its not very long and doesnt portend to being a 'difficult' read at all, and i own it, but i just never got round to it. greene's plays 'the living room' and 'the potting shed', as two opposing...

how about one of each? :) last day of high school: our year group requisitions both the common room and one of the barely used languages classrooms for the entire day, of course nobody of note bothers going to classes. some kids bring in two pairs of boxing gloves and padded helmets and start...

haha i hope it doesnt all just get rinsed before i get home because i can't remember my chemical recs log in!!

this looks great. heard the samples and it sounds even better. dutty artz indeed. wish i wasn't moving this w/end and didn't have to fork out a deposit. might have to make a special circumstances excuse.

its not like I ever ASKED to be BORN, you know... haha yes, I am from Luton - currently in residence here also - and yes its the shirts'n'Joop! types that generally have the biggest chips on their shoulders. bowling out of the yates's with girls 12 years their junior in tight skirts and sequin...

yeah this is pretty much what i was getting at, although i'd add that i think because this kind of masochistic-attention-whore expression is de rigeur in the comms industries, for 15-yr-olds weaned on it it becomes commonplace to translate actual conversation into it. its the whole obsession...

hello all, this is actually the first time i've posted a meaningful comment here, so - haha in true emo style ;-) - i'd appreciate some restraint if a lynching is going to ensue based on what i'm going to say (what a perfect thread to bring that issue up). first of all i'm going to say how...

epic. nice.
