    Atheism

    Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it, we certainly did. I came across the British Humanist Society at my Grandfather's funeral. There is a celebrant, who takes the role of the priest, says many, well-researched words about the deceased, some simple, honest musings on the nature of mortality -...

    Humble Indy Bundle

    I just don't get why the music and film industry don't look at things like this, and Steam, and think about adopting the model for themselves. I use Steam because it's a great content delivery system, they have demos, and I can use my games library on any machine. It would be wonderful if I...

    Nah, saw them at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. Isaac Brock was losing his voice, which was a great shame, but they were on fire instrumentally. 2 drummers is always entertaining. I don't know what bab means.

    The Mary Whitehouse Experience

    Great days! D.O.V.E. What a load of balls that was, educationally speaking. As a dos, it was great. Check out his podcasts with Andrew Collings. It can be very hit and miss, and you sort of need to have been listening from day 1 to understand half of what they are going on about. Like how...

    doing bird

    I used to work for the auction house that broke up 'Mr. Potters Museum of Curiosities" when it closed a few years ago. The best thing we sold was a monkey in a waistcoat, wearing a fez, riding a goat - bought by Harry Hill.

    The Mary Whitehouse Experience

    I fondly remember going to see Newman and Baddiel at the Wolves Civic, when they were still doing all their Mary Whitehouse stuff. "You know men who put fruit up each others bottom?" "Yes" "Oh, you do?" "PPth. You see that bit of flob there. That's you that is." "No, that's your swimming...

    doing bird

    God, and I would have thought I was the only person round these parts that reads the ATG. The guy is lucky really - he was facing time if he hadn't pleaded guilty. I've seen cabinets of birds eggs, including eagle eggs, go through the major auction houses before and no-one has batted an...

    Why does everyone hate thatcher?

    Don't see why not. One of the Foundation novels? Been years since I read them, I remember there were the two Foundations built on different and opposing structures - but they were more to do with religion. Sounds more like Ursula le Guin or someone like that.

    Why does everyone hate thatcher?

    Labour or Tory, the acquisition of money is lauded above all. I agree with Tek, but how would we ensure that replacements are any better? Power corrupts blah blah blah.

    Why does everyone hate thatcher?

    Skills to all in this thread for a fine array of arguments (except shoes, of course. I know plenty of affluent people who also hate Thatcher, you utter tit.)

    Save Money ! Guarenteed !!! - Utility Warehouse

    If Bob is my aunty's brother, it's either my dad, or no relation if she is an aunty by marriage. For Bob to be my Uncle he is either one of my parent's brother, or my aunty's husband. Unless you account for civil partnerships, in which case, Bob could be my Uncle's husband, and also my Uncle...

    Demise of Radio 6

    It's a sop to the incoming nasty party to ditch 2 stations now and pretend that real cuts are being made. BBC4 will be next. Mark my words, the Tories will have effectively dismantled the entire organisation and sell it in chunks to Murdoch et al, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a cushy...

    What are you listening to right now?

    The Antlers Went to see them last night in the Union Chapel, Islington. Easily the most beautiful venue I've ever been to, and apt for a band whose album is about caring for someone with terminal cancer. (Don't let that put you off)
