    Reinvestigating 9/11

    There were stories at the time that Al Qaeda had made loads of money shorting parts of the market, such as Ianugo mentions above. Were they also debunked? Edit: this was a good thread. Also the last sighting of Noel Limits, iircc

    Indeed. Two pretty boring games, tbh. Qualifiers are either boring or end in defeats. Anyway, should qualify from here. The wall charts, the endless merchandising, the groundless optimism, the early flight home.

    The b side to Ultra Thizz, Dreamzz, izz, sorry, is brilliant sort of slowed down trance. It almost belongs in the thread "Should I be ashamed?". To which the answer would be, "In this instance, no. But re: everything else in the thread, yes, as well you know. Get a hold of yourselves."

    Coin-ops (games/fruit machines/pinball/etc)

    I am fucking great at air hockey. Serious. I will take on anyone brave enough and be the first to 7 no problem. I'm also OK at Dance Dance Revolution but a teenage girl Or Japanese person could probably beat me.

    Roiling football blather

    This is exactly it. Smalling and Evans have spent time learning off Ferdinand and Vidic. Nani learns from Giggs. Rooney learned off Scholes. The only thing Jenkinson can learn from are his mistakes. I thought it was staggering that Walcott was having to tell him where to position himself...

    Apparently Arshavin, Rosicky and Chamakh went straight down the tunnel at full time. Van Persie called them back to acknowledge the fans, who'd web fucking loud all game if the telly in the pub I was in was anything to go by.

    I'm pretty certain- can't check cos the site's updating at the mo- he's my captain this week. Should be an avalanche of points, including two of the most minimalist assists imaginable.

    is dissensus dead?

    I actually think it's better now than it was about a year ago. The board had lost a few interesting posters -Noel Limits, Nomad. The Salute Tottenham and Adam Curtis threads are good. The music ones maybe not so much. Too much YouTube. There's also some sort of balance between creating content...

    The Space Shuttle

    I was always more of a fan of the Soviet space programme. First dog in space, first man, first woman. There was this series of soviet space films on at the BFI last month. Some good stuff. There was this one film about the last soviet cosmonaut. He went up from the USSR and landed in the Russian...

    global financial crash yay!

    Anyone know any papers/ books by Minsky that are easy enough to get hold of? Paul Mason keeps going on about him eg here http://t.co/n6ubW9P. Worth a read in it's own right, fwiw

    what are you reading now?

    The Spanish love a rat's tail. Often quite cool, attractive Spanish girls will rock one. Does my head in. The Third Policeman is great. The Best of Myles, a collection of O'Brien's columns from the Irish Times, is funniest book I've ever read. At Swim - Two Birds is nuts, though. Pretty much...

    Glad it's not just me, then. I want to make a few last minute changes. Keep the squad on their toes. Stop complacency from creeping in.

    Yeah, surely no surprise to anyone that the red areas are the areas with the flashpoints? What's interesting to me in that all the fiery wigwams are at the edge of the darkest red areas, not in the middle of them. That makes sense, cos the darkest areas are presumably totally residential...

    It doesn't really, and I thought it was pretty OK that these big chain stores got ripped off. But it turns out it was bothering me that small businesses with no insurance were being trashed too, and I realised that I'd made a distinction in my mind as to good and bad looting that the looters...

    Fuck it, I'll bite. What's not opportunistic about heading to JDs and walking off with free trainers once someone else has broken the window? Opportunistic doesn't seem to be the worst thing you could call it. Anyhow, gumdrops posted a thing earlier that I found really interesting esp this bit...
