So am I the only card-carrying Labour Party member here then, eh?

My favourite gadaffi anecdote is of him demanding western leaders meet him in a small, traditional tent, which he would fill with fart gas throughout the meeting in order to unsettle them. Could be totally fictitious, mind.

*swoon*

Here in singapore you can make your donation through the atm machine - genius idea! It's impossible to withdraw 500 dollars to spend on yourself and NOT give at least an equal amount to the tsunami appeal...

Basically, Ol' Tommy started out in Militant Tendency, got arrested a couple of times for protesting outside Faslane nuclear power station. He got a bit more moderate and was extremely active in protesting the Poll Tax, getting arrested again for trying to stop a warrant sale. He got elected...

Tommy Sheridan is a fuckin dinosaur but I admire him for his nuts and secondly for giving up all of his Scottish MP's salary that is above that of the wage of the average working man. That's true socialism, that is. I can picture him marching to Jarrow and protesting against means testing and...

A friend of mine did some work for Singapore narcotics bureau and they told him that there are between 5 and 6 thousand drug users in the city and they know the names of 70% of them but don't arrest them because they don't consider them a threat to social order. Occasionally an opposition...

So many people on this forum are such fucking good writers that it'd be nice to have a thread in literature where people put down their own little pieces that they think are good, or link to them or whatever. Me, I'm definitely in the special needs class compared to a lot of youse, but in that...

I gotta say that I don't know if I trust or admire him, but I sure as fuck respect Senior Minister (former Prime Minister) Lee Kuan Yew For those that don't know, Lee Kuan Yew is the man who led Singapore to independence and was its prime minister from 1959 until 1990 and remains a dominant...

May it continue as it started - german hippies, beautiful beaches and tragi-comic experiences with gorgeous finnish girls. And "Drop the pressure". Hope everybody is on as much of a drawn out nostalgia high from NYE as I am...

Fuck this is fascinating. Judging by precedent, I'll probably get flamed for this, but what the fuck. I find Matt and Luka's posts above very affecting, particularly Luka's. See, you say invasion, for me it felt like possession, and when it ended it felt like robbery. I dunno if there's a...

My mate damien made me a cd of really THE most awful christmas music. I'm still trying to figure out the hidden message.

Wood for the fire! That's it, not "loaves of bread"...

I love the subject matter of that tune - like his girl's a prosti, and he wants to be her only man but she won't let him. "Bun dem seller an procurer of sex" or something. An the chorus makes an analogy between shagging and loaves of bread or something strange like that. Think it's latter...

Ease up was just amused by mention of Rhondda. Didn't mean nuffin.

Yer, it's not like baltimore club or favela funk or any of those kind of scenes bother with vinyl, that's all cdr. I bet actual jamaicans in jamaica don't use 7"s any more either.

It's "I can't satisfy her" by I-Wayne if I'm not totally mistaken...

Well Runrig's "The cutter and the clan" was a fucking massive record in the Isle of Skye but I don't see that making it qualify for rock'n roll immortality...

I seem to remember mud fam doing an oxide and neutrino diss record slagging garage off a few years back. Was all over that UK rap pirate, 105.5, can't remember what it was called... Made in Britain is an AMAZING movie. It's even more depressing than that one with Ray Winstone as a young...

I really like the way that Ken Laszlo track sounds when mixed in among early 90s belgian stuff... I guess rocker:la rock :: outkast:prince so not surprising he'd hate it really...
