yeh... No Man's Land is my favourite I think.. if you can see the televised version with Ralph Richardson and Gielgud all the better....Gnomic, icily, bleakly lyrical, disturbingly funny... The film of the Caretaker with Donald Pleasance and Alan Bates is also brilliant... Also Old Times, about...

Johann Hari has an interesting anti-Pinter article here ... Pinter's politics seem to be all over the place... but I disagree with Hari about his plays, I think they are marvellous...

Investors expect to make money from their money; I can't see what's 'fair' about that (any more than it is 'fair' for someone who bets on a horse race to expect to make dividends on that). Savers expect their money to be looked after. I agree that, because of interest etc, many savers are also...

There's a difference between saving and investing. Investors don't expect their investments to be 'fairly treated', they, self-evidently, want to make a profit from them. Comparison to Nazis, so early in the thread? Well done... As for Labour Theory of Value, it is not at all clear that Marx...

Hurray! (for the thread) I can't get too far into this atm (work in the a.m. and its already late) but: surely Martin's right, the 18C is too late. Isn't 1750 thought of as the approx date for the arrival of INDUSTRIAL capitalism; I think Braudel, for example, dates back earlier phases of...

The 'too many grime threads' issue was separate from the grime spam issue... The too many issue would be resolved by less threads, not moving grime into another forum... The general deadness of the board atm is not unrelated to the preponderance of grime threads of course... Well I argued that...

Didn't some of the people now calling for a separate Mixes forum object to the idea of a separate Events/ Mixes forum in the first place on the grounds that there was no problem with this material being in the Music forum? Because it definitely did not - in no way - clog things up. Are they now...

sounds like it would be quicker to ask who actually DID get one

me too...

Best was a genuinely tragic figure: a prince brought down by the flaws in his own character. Part of the tragedy was that it's impossible to say how good he was; one night in Lisbon yeh but most of the rest of his career played against the likes of Stoke City. Without an appearance at the World...

'Hilary Clinton is a communist', if only 'Israel Dismantles; World's Problems End' --- (look at the comments to see the moronic level of the readership of that site....) Hmmm, how about 'All Islamists agree to be shot by American forces; capitalist parliamentarianism now reaches all corners of...

O yes you're quite right... turn off the javascrlpt and there it all is... Thanks! Don't think there's much prospect of my altering the template... I long ago forgot all my login details unfortunately...

I could go either way.... but ppl would prob guess it was mine any way, so I might as well out myself... yes, going to conference, shd be there for 2ish, might be a bit late...

so what... surely the problem only applies if you know about the person you're making the tape FOR.. (which might pre-empt your choices etc...). so what if ppl do detective work on the person who made their tape? isn't that adding to the fun?

why not? It's up to participants if they want to reveal their IDs afaik...

lol, well, it was nearly two weeks ago when I sent it... and a week or so before that when it was actually made...

well i've got a job and responsibilities and MY tape was sent out weeks ago (he says smugly)... :) And STILL haven't received mine...

Thanks everyone... I hope Tim is right about A Sea of Honey... I find 'Pi' and 'Bertie' a bit noodling atm, so much less likely to listen to the tracks at the end of that disc.... but having to stop myself playing Sky of Honey, it's so compulsive... Ness was actually going to mention both The...

here's my two pennurth on Aerial http://k-punk.abstractdynamics.org/archives/006862.html

The whole premise of the Guardian thing is twattish... as if these are the unheard, marginalized voices whose edgy POVs wouldn't otherwise get an airing... yeh, it's so true, there's no mainstream place you can go to here the Peebie message... apart from the columns of such dangerous outsiders...
