I would guess it's Clare House

Two main bits of Gove news this week. Firstly, his speech to Social Market Foundation where he says Gramsci is one of his heroes http://www.smf.co.uk/media/news/michael-gove-speaks-smf/ I thought the speech was very interesting from a political perspective as he takes on Labour on what ought...

You are welcome. That is well worth knowing, ta

The level of non meta, meat n potatoes spam on this board has got crazy recently. Is there anything that works in stopping the board getting flooded with multiple posts about cheap luggage and ugg boots?

The Peasant is a good pub with good food. Went there a few years ago and had a steak sandwich. The Peasant, 240 St John street, London EC1V 4PH

Nice one!

The Hardcore Continuum, one of the abiding obsessions of all dissensus http://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/essays/the-wire-300_simon-reynolds-on-the-hardcore-continuum_introduction I have sent my list to you, Benny, based on what i tunes tells me I've listened to since I joined the forum. Am...

Rooney's a funny one, cos it's hard to assess him without considering what everyone thought he was going to be in 2004. He never became that but he's still very good. Probably as good as, say, Benzema. But he was as good as Ronaldo in 2004 and now he's nowhere near that level. Number 85's a...

See, that's kind of how I felt about almost everything this year. I was just looking at what I bought in the early part of the year and I almost can't remember listening to any of it. New albums have a half life of a week for me now. My attention span is worse than it was when I was a teenager.

Thank fuck someone did this. I need some recommendations - I've had a shocker this year in terms of finding out new stuff and that. My favourite might turn out to bet the Ruff Sqwad comp I got today, and that can't be right, it's 8 years old. I also liked LV. Actually I liked Frank Ocean too...

Absolutely. I went to see them in Manchester Velodrome in 2009 and that was similarly "event"-y and was £35. It'll still sell out, though, and Computer World/ TEE/ Man Machine will sell out almost instantly. What's the capacity of the turbine hall for things such as this, I wonder?

Ha! It was never gonna last, I had to enjoy it while I could...

Say We! (I!) Are! (Am!) Topoftheleague, Say we are top of the league!

It's known in the game as an 'emotional hedge'. Anyway, I felt dirty about it and made Tevez captain instead. Good day all round.

I've just put RVP in ahead of Man U playing my team (Norwich). It sounds like the ultimate act of disloyalty but it's not. That was making him captain.

Oh OK. Plenty of people still think he's not that good, big game bottler, whatever. Jamie Redknapp wrote about the 8 times title winner What a cunt. As to why I prefer arrogance to false modesty - in general, in life, obviously I don't. But in football which I watch for entertainment (i.e...

Nonsense. Give me arrogance over fake humility every time. And how many titles does he have to win in how many countries before people take him seriously? It's only British people who have a problem with him.

Absolutely spot on. Ones for membership organisations are fine, and generally free or not too expensive. Free ones are also fine, and often about the launch of x or y so at least there's something to discuss. Full disclosure - I have occasionally spoken at such events. But my inbox is full of...
