    yeah they occupy a really particular place i think. really walking that line. they were never that weird obviously, it's all still basically songs, they're not difficult to listen to, it's not the kind of thing that you need to put much work into. they had a thing going on for the first five...

    have really noticed this as well, the visa net tightening. every time i talk about the rules for getting even the spouse of a citizen into the UK people more or less don't believe me. not an expert but the US feels looser and easier to come to than europe does now. plenty of my afghan mates are...

    Adam Curtis

    i mean it's one of the first things you learn when you're trying to get your head around another country, humility. or at least it should be. with him especially given his age there's a smell of the old way of an englishman going out to the world and surveying what he sees. my mate hates rory...

    the other thing is why not have a chat about this in a different way. like why are you posting at me like this. it's really open you've been on here for ages and everyone would love you i think if you wanted to chat a bit rather than doing whatever this thing you're doing is. we could be mates...

    i'm not trying to imply that. it's a primary school view of the world that you'd think about such things in personal moral terms rather than systemic ones. you should be thinking from a secondary school perspective at least.

    on the deletion of USAID - the death toll is rising. there isn't a rigorous quantification of it all yet. one of the people modelling it is estimating that we are up to 53,000 AIDS deaths already, that would have been prevented if USAID had carried on as before. i can't say much about the...

    radiohead are interesting in that they are grid-people and are primarily for grid-people but they hint at something outside of it

    mate you should see my trousers you couldn't even wear them, you'd get lost in them, you'd never be able to find your way out. they would envelop you. biscuits tell us about some voluntary work or something that you do. i want to see the man behind the mask

    Adam Curtis

    i really hope he shifts towards arty montage, which he's killer and unique at doing, and away from political analysis. on the latter he's out of ideas and he really stretches credulity. he doesn't know what he's talking about a lot of the time especially when he strays outside the UK - hard to...

    there's this related thing of: what are we doing to our consiousnesses. the affects of what we spend our time doing. grid-life has to be very finely honed in most cases. getting the money and accommodation to line up, and organizing your life to be in a physical and mental state to perform at...

    there's a lot to be said for going outside of the grid. we all know the grid i think and it feels like it's getting more rigid than ever. more optimised. it doesn't need to be a black and white thing where you find a plan for doing it forever. maybe that would be better idk. but these little...

    i did loads of those bike trips at one point. the toughest ones were that one in crete and one in israel and the west bank. france was always the easiest and frankly the best. italy and spain were good too but harder logistically. england was always fun and very easy but less interesting. with a...
