so hardcore didn't turn into jungle, the backrooms at jungle nights weren't playing US garage, which then turned into UK garage, that didn't evolve into two distinct branches (the early fwd sound: el-b, horsepower etc) and a more hip-hop-influenced sound (mainly thanks to so solid) and that...

and is a close personal friend of toby young

i didn't dare to leave it? who is this guy, seriously? i thought better of it, especially as it could have been misinterpreted by someone who it wasn't directed at. also i'd rather not let an (albeit somewhat diappointing) thread about interesting stuff get into a pathetic personal slanging...

k-punk is mark ronson's cousin.

fine. i think there are bigger things to worry about here. like, for instance, a really disturbing, almost daily mail-style outrage to racial discourse and identity politics that i really would have hoped not to have encountered here. and please don't tell me what my motivations are. if i say...

Jesus, that's low of Private Eye. Surely looking for entries into pseud's corner in the Wire is like shooting fish in a barrel. Or at least I'd hope it would be, anyway. It's what The Wire is *supposed* to do, guys... It's a large part of what makes it such a necessary publication.

i'd agree with that, both points as it happens

personally, i think he's talking crap about places where people should go and shouldn't. through a lot of personal experience i can quite confidently say that anyone can go anywhere and have a bloody good time without apologising to or making excuses for themselves. all over the states and...

yes and yes. but it's much more involved than that, as i've explained.

that's much more like it. i didn't want to get into an argument about racism at all. say parrish looks like a bit of a tool, as martin has done: fine (and justified). call him a racist: rather bad. that's my position. anyone who wants to say, "the dictionary states that X means Y" really...

no. because it's an extremely limited way of looking at the world.

well, that's another generalisation. i'm british. however, i think there's a point somewhere in there. people in the US have a much stronger tradition of thinking about things in that way, because that's the way that discourse around the subject been shaped. i guess i'm just more engaged in and...

paging matt woebot, moderators et al... please close down the entire board. there is nothing further to discuss. ever

ok, so now every concept can be fully defined by the dictionary and no further examination is needed. bearing this in mind, i give you... Main Entry: mu·sic Listen to the pronunciation of music Pronunciation: \ˈmyü-zik\ Function: noun Usage: often attributive Etymology...

when did canoe become the operative part of this whole fiasco? the guy faked his own death, claimed to be deceased for five years, he and his missus planned to meet in south america with a fraudulently claimed settlement, then he turned up in london pretending to have amnesia and hoping to get...

i'm not liberal. after reading this thread, i'd have you all jailed if i could

Never mind the life insurance fraud, it's this that's shocking to me. Front page of the Mail today is "How canoe mother's lies left her sons crushed". WIfe of canoe, mother of canoe? Make your mind up.

is it so hard for people just to agree that i'm right for once? it's not a lot to ask, especially when i am.

i'm not saying that either. i'll refer everyone back to the bit about gay heterophobes, the concept of matriarchy, female/male sexism. it's not that it prejudices don't exist or that's it's impossible for any non-white person to be racially prejudiced. it's just that it's not as insitutionalised...

nor am i saying that anyone did. someone called theo parrish racist. he is black. my reasoning stands
