Where were you in 1968? Not born yet? Babe in arms?? Or just a kid? Like I was. But old enough to dig that groovy music scene. The Beatles, The Who, The Stones. And the Kinks. Ahhhh, the Kinks. How we loved ’em. They were ‘earthy’. Real people (ie common as muck and spoke badly, – Read More-
Whilst over here Ed Miliband is wondering whether he’s got the bus fare to take him to Rochester to make a speech (which no-one is fucking interested in fucking hearing!!!!!), or whether Ed Balls will lend him a tenner til Tuesday, over in America they’re also getting ready for an election next year.

Rules and stereotypes, the twin evils of our lives. The enemies of a true and free-thinking existence. Yet they are so entrenched. So were you to hear that the Queen is really into reggae, but the early, hardcore, Jamaican stuff, you’d be shocked.

Not in full. Nor will I bother with the new one. There’s no point. Not like ‘you’ll miss something’ if you – Read More-

Ask any good Brit what ‘Easter’ means and he/she’ll say: ‘a four-day weekend’. Its biblical, innit? You get Good Friday off work, and Easter Monday, plus the Saturday and Sunday in between.
