w the caveat that Crofton's advice sounds sensible, i'd say go for it. it could be a very interesting snapshot of something at once fossilised and alive, and it's got to be worth exploring around the rock itself.

^ haha nice one :D yes that was rather personal in hindsight..

nice one Vim, heh well Soof your neighbour sounds friendly :cool: i was playing pool w a US marine once and i asked him what he thought of British counterparts out in the field, and he said he liked those guys, but he could never get over their haircuts @crackerjack, where do you drink...

hasn't this case been dismissed? i wonder what really happened. probably somewhere in between either side's version.

i'm clearly a grumpy old fart, but the amount of mates who are updating their Facebook status to reflect they've joined their Christmas number one group: :mad: i will say this though - the singer from Sevendust had better hair than Zack.

anecdotal, but certainly take up has gone up in areas of high unemployment during this recent slump (eg a lot of lads from Stoke signing up, apparently), and definitely have you noticed the last few years the massive upswing in pub toilet adverts for infantry (i can only speak for the gents...

oh those humourless feminists castigating Dockers for their tongue in cheek fun it's Abercrombie & Shits redux, of a fashion (excuse the pun)

it should be none, of course. and hostage taking is not to be justified. (there is, admittedly, a very good case to think that hostages have on the whole not been harmed much yet purely because the pirates are having their demands met; and are, also, not stupid). to be fair, i merely liked...

yup. this reminds me exactly of David Adler discussing J Hari on Somali pirates in just the right terms

Miliband was asked earlier this year could Britain force Sri Lanka from the Commonwealth temporarily as a gesture. he told his Tory questioner that, unfortunately, Britain didn't have the numbers behind them to do that at secretariat level.

:eek: tragically, this has been coming i think, it's like the end game and forseeable consequence of codifying what has been normal practice, w a few egregious extras bolted on (not that i have John's on the ground experience, interesting stuff there mate). Museveni has been making homophobic...

good point. (my emphasis) eh? what? all of us? envious? really? also a fair point.

[snip] nice one Vim, very interesting. must admit i was earlier thinking specifically of controversies around PFI and the NHS when Poetix mentioned market metaphors (and market knowledge carried over from private sector 'gurus' coming into the public sector etc) intruding into the public...

@poetix, thanks for the links, clearly i misremembered quite what k-p said about the BBC, for some reason in my mind i had thought up some epic Perry Anderson-style attack on Auntie from him (!) if i may plug another blogger book

obviously a sensible point. (my emphases.) hmm. Vim OTM

fair point. funnily enough, i don't think k-punk is a fan of (may be wrong) here's some beef, right here. like the covers, sharp lines, strong colours, clean. is this out yet Poetix? i may be wrong here, and i could've misread him, but this reminded me of the time k-punk went to...

thanks for your recommendation, your backing swung it for me. i went down, and it was amazing. (that's an understatement, but will have to suffice.) nice write-up btw.

hi! i love your user name :cool:

i went up the Den w an Oldham mate earlier this season (Wall won 2-0, which was slightly undeserved, but not massively so), and at one stage in the second half a guy behind me w a broad Owdham accent piped up really slowly and deliberately (voice getting higher as he continued) COME ON LATICS...

oh my stars! the only disappointment is i was hoping you would double that ht lead.. ;) i went to Wigan today w two Brummie mates, bloody good craic, football regrettably poor, though at least Blooz won p.s. i lost my voice at Chester : Alty last Satd i must say.
