I have lived in UK in Singapore, in Africa, both real and RSA and am back in the UK. Would I go away again, absolutely, the UK by and large is vile full of awful people most of whom are competely subservient to the "me culture". This of course is a consequence of Thatcerism and New Labour,...

then the atmospheric records are from approximately the end of the last major glaciation, and so what do they tell us, I would suggest that it's the tempreture fluctuation is constant is aligned with sunspots, something overwhich we have little control. for avoidance of doubt, I share the concern th...

This whole thing has been bugging more for a long time, in term of climate change we have an unholy alliance of big business, politicians with no/failing agendas, scientists in search of grants and climatologists who are really excited cos people are paying them attention (climatologists are very ve...

Spending quite a lot of time in Spain at the moment and I must say by and large I am impressed. The Spanish people seem to have a pretty good work ethic,and I would think that they mwy well have used the EU funding and the construction boom to pump prime an economy. As to whether Zap is really a soc...

We think they are V good, still trying to work out how such a band came from Las Vegas.. my favourite Killers moment when Mr Flowers was being interviewed by Jools Holland (for those of you who don't know he is a talentless toad amd all round cokney git) when asked the question had they (the Killers...

how will history judge President Bush -I suspect to call him a disaster will be considered charitable, I am very worried about the future though, friend Obama is such an obvious establishment token it's frightening, the next one out of Unlce Tom's cabin.

hmm slept right through it, biggest thing to happen to lincolnshire since since we split away from contintal Europe.

hmm thought the JRRT has sold the rights way back when - with stuff like this only the lawyers win

Best news I have had in a long time, hopefullyhe will be able to make something out of the story.

His visual sense in great and he hasa great feel for fantasy. He also shares with PJ a childlke enthusiasm for his movie projects which is so very important

hmm the book is only in 2D unless you invest in some of the special edition embossed print versions.

I have read elsewhere that PJ is very interested in the 3D technology, problem is he will have to ensure that where he vere's away from the text his stories have some depth to them

bit of a stinker according to the Sunday times http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/film_reviews/article2956068.ece btw just read this thread -liked Alatars idea of showing it as a bit more of a modern Oxford, it would have been great to show Cornmarket street with ...

hmm I thought this was a general description of london - and was about to agree, London is a rubbish place to be what with all the jolly costermongers, pearly kings, East End Gangsters and Chirpy cockanies - no wonder we have more englsih people leaving the country than we have east european immigra...

went today with the boys we enjoyed it - thought the end sequence in the witches house was overlong - otherwise one of the better films

not seen it yet - due out early october maybe it will be at Vue in Oxford, up for going out to see it though. Yep Joy Div were real and not just a phantom of the collected immagination of 1 million mancs :) I think Curtis was one of the tortured genii - he was involved in what was an incredible crea...

at one level deep joy the capitalist world is falling apart, there is something deeply right about this. Most of the major faiths have preached against greed, and there is clearly something very wrong with any society which extols greed as a virtue, can people be rescued, can the reserve banks provi...

Simply by being a dick with less sensitivity than ...................... We live in too small a house in the South of England surrounded by Yokels. I went to ...

Ryanair - hmm there are plenty of stories to tell, having said that the flight can often be more effective and comfortable than more conventional airlines - the only really shitty thing about them is that they fly at absurd times of time - sorry the other really shitty thing is that they are often f...

think all the stuff I would want to witness would be pretty hedonistic, you can keep all your war and stuff viz. 1 the time some Scotch man first made whiskey 2. Being part of the VE and VJ celebrations 3. Watching/participating in the discovery of the missionary position (see Quest for Fire) 4. The...

One of the great iconclasts has gone - founder of factory records and the man behind Joy/Division - New Order The Mondays, and to a lesser extent Stone Roses. Only 57 and a Mancunian through and through. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/6941716.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsi...
