That sounds like a threat.... If so, you've got two and half years to kill Ringo, before moving on to Paul. Though the exact order is of course up to you.

George was cool. He popularised gnomes on album covers. He said "If only everyone who had a gun would shoot themselves, there'd be no problem". And he contributed this barmy website to the web. Ah well. I don't think the idea of dying bothered him all that much, so it's hard to feel sad for...

A guy I know says he was arrested and "charged in court the next morning under Section 6 of the Public Order Act. I have been charged with engaging in abusive or threatening behaviour or language with the intent to cause violence."

That's true, it doesn't. So you needn't let it upset you.

Hey, they're creating work for the guy. If people didn't throw paint at the hotel, then the person who's job it is to clean paint off the hotel would get sacked. Would I be right in saying that what happened was: -protesting, chanting, etc -brief flurry of charging forward, throwing flour...

Him being right or wrong would have had no bearing on what happened fifty years earlier, obviously. As for afterwards, I tend to think he's been borne out by political and social events. It's a question of degree, though. Any social theorist is going to be partly right and partly wrong.

Yeah, thanks Adorno. Seriously though, just cos some of us have read Adorno and are terribly smart because of that doesn't mean that anyone else has. The big problem for me has always been that people either, as Dan says, just don't care, or that they don't seem to care or are not allowed to...

you'll have to catch me first, copper... I'll lose you in the back-streets of Tooting Bec.

silo, what I was saying was that drawing a big distinction between direct action and peaceful protest is just misleading. Most direct action is peaceful, it's just that the protagonists can seem embarassed to admit this: "Is this a peaceful protest?" "No, it's an, erm... direct action". And...

Oh yeah? What about the Velvet Revolution then? That was definitely a peaceful protest, but it felt pretty direct to all the people involved, and it had a far bigger effect than a few Chumbawumba fans with bongos (sorry, 'street theatre') could have. It's completely misleading to characterise...

Damn, if I'd known my argument was going to be picked apart like that I'd have backed it up with, y'know, facts. Having read a little more on the subject last night (in this book) an important factor in deciding whether it's worthwhile to go with PPP seems to be whether the government can...

One problem the government in Britain had with PPP was that once hospitals had been built by private contractors the government found itself paying back the money at pretty high interest rates, so that they'd have been better off if they'd just borrowed the money from a bank. If I had the book I...

Nosferatu??? I meant to say Nostradamus. Doofus. I've never even met a 'Nosferatu-booster'.

without wanting to encourage the Nosferatu-boosters, I think I'm going to have to contribute to the growing stack of conspiracy theories about what happened in america. The one hijacked plane that didn't crash into a building was Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco, and it crashed near...

god that site is bizarre. And I usually don't mind clicking on pictures of children until they scream. I feel more suggestable already.

yeah, catch 22 is great, probably the best thing I've ever read, and they still didn't have a copy in the ucd library . Has anyone ever read Joseph Heller's 'Picture This'? I've never seen it over here, but it's brilliant. Almost as good as Catch 22. oh and: time's arrow - by martin amis...

great site. more please.

Those virus warnings are really just a different type of virus. They spread easily and, when each send and receive is added up, they clog up networks and slow things down. Basically anything that tells you that something was 'just announced by Microsoft yesterday' is bollocks, especially if the...

plus there's always something else to download MP3s with. Gnutella, Freeserve, etc... People'll just stop using Napster. After all, charging $5 a month to download tons of music is just robbery....

yeah I noticed that too. And there's a lot of whores and cockfaces in his songs. Is this something about Irish people or are all the peoples of earth equally silly and titmouse-vulnerable?
