Slap Nick Griffin 1
Go on, you know you want to.
Around the world by chip fat
A trip around Europe in a biodiesel powered van was one of those plans I had that never came to fruition. Wired has an article about one man who is better organised than I and is on the road at the moment.
Global Cooling is a con
This won’t be news to anyone who’s been paying attention, but it needs to be shouted out and repeated often, because the American public and even the BBC are falling for the lie.
There are many quote worthy lines in this report. Almost at random, let’s go with-
Saying there’s a downward trend since 1998 is not scientifically legitimate, said David Peterson, a retired Duke University statistics professor and one of those analyzing the numbers.
Identifying a downward trend is a case of “people coming at the data with preconceived notions,” said Peterson, author of the book “Why Did They Do That? An Introduction to Forensic Decision Analysis.”
It doesn’t always rain in Manchester
But it is raining more. Ten percent more than 110 years ago, it would seem, with the greatest increase in the last thirty years.
And there I was on Friday night trying to persuade visitors from Warwick Rag that Manchester wasn’t really that damp. Foiled again.
Dan and his llama
It’s called Bear Grylls and it goes any way it can.
Noddy spotted in Withington
It’s an Austin A35 (I think, correct me if I’m wrong). It had the look of a vehicle that’s loved but used regularly, which is how it should be. There was a Ferrari to my right at the same time, but they’re dull and just scream desperate compensation for something.
Evolution toys
Toys inspired by evolution and Charles Darwin. Forget about buying it for a kid, I think I want the Giant Timeline floor mat.
How safe is your street?
Crime maps of the UK. Based upon Police statistics. Fascinating.
The Rapture is due by Wednesday
No, really, it is. That’s going to mess with my plan for the week.
I’d read the page, but I don’t hav the time for a migraine.
There’s a lot more people better off than you
I saw you sitting on the pavement
Watching the goose-step of the crowd
You were a picture of rebellion
A kleptomaniac and proud
Well I should’ve seen it coming
from miles away
kiss the pavement goodbye
and say hello to the ice age
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to fight for
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to lose
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to live for
And there’s a lot more people worse off than you
Well let’s just pretend we’re human beings
for a while
Chronic Shyness
Can drive us to a smile
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to cry for
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to win
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to die for
And there’s a lot more people better off than you
The say your vacant face
Helps the tourist trade
If they could see you in your leisure time… well
A funny thing happened on the way to here
The headlines read like the end was near
For Queen Jane
The say your vacant face
Helps the tourist trade
If they could see you in your leisure time…
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to fight for
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to lose
Queen Jane
You’ve got everything to die for
And there’s a lot more people worse off than you
Queen Jane
It wouldn’t happen in another world
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer planet
It would’ve happened in another world
So don’t pretend to care when you don’t care
Ten years asleep
In the queue for the late night bus
With all of us
Breakfast television
Is the biggest decision I’ve made
In the last decade
It wouldn’t happen in another world
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer planet
It would’ve happened in another world
So don’t pretend to care when you don’t care
Ten years asleep
It’ll be far too late
To call 0898
Ten years asleep
Every mind is UXB
So don’t pretend that…
It wouldn’t happen in another world
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer planet
It would’ve happened in another world
So don’t pretend to care when you don’t care
All the punks are pushing thrity years
And are hardly feared
All the young dudes
Work for all the old brutes
In expensive suits
Ten years asleep
’cause your grave is empty
But already dug
Ten years of sleeping knees
Instead of news
So don’t complain that…
It wouldn’t happen in another world
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer planet
It would’ve happened in another world
So don’t pretend to care when you don’t care
There, there, there
Where’s Nemo?
You could watch it over and over, following different fish each time.
Kaiser Saucey
Kaiser Saucey was the name of the mysterious big breasted, lingerie clad criminal genius everyone was hunting in the porn remake of The Usual Suspects.
A fraction of a half life, some housework and some home truths
I’d never actually seen this clip before. When it happened I was listening to the show on the radio. This is not a great example of Carter USM, they were made to lipsync to a backing track, were lost on the audience and were faded down early. But it does have Fruitbat’s flying tackle of Philip Schofield at the end, which almost makes up for it.
After The Watershed (Early Learning The Hard Way)
Exhibit F, the reporters said
loved you to death after the watershed
Between the Open University and closedown
you were dead
He’s warmed your cockles with his magic tricks
glasses, bottles, bottles, filter tips
John Player Special
Number 666
Exhibit G from the family firm
his bride to be taking twisted turns
To give you French kisses
and Chinese burns
You see, she’d had a skinful and she couldn’t stop
like a pitbull in a china shop
And all the King’s social workers, the ghurkas and the cops
somehow
couldn’t love you back to life again now
A black eye for a black eye
a chipped tooth for a chipped tooth
a fraction of a half life
some housework and some home truths
And nothing but the home truth
Nothing but the home truth
Nothing but the home truth
And it’s goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Come home you silly cow
We’ve baked a cake and your friends are waiting
and David Icke says he’d like to show us how
to love you back to life again now
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Come home you silly cow
We’ve baked a cake and your friends are waiting… waiting… waiting…
AND DAVID ICKE SAYS!
goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Come home you silly cow
We’ve baked a cake and your friends are waiting
and David Icke says
Goodbye, you silly cow
Come home
come home
come home
come home
A black eye for a black eye
a chipped tooth for a chipped tooth
a fraction of a half life
some housework and some home truths
And nothing but the home truth
Nothing but the home truth
Nothing but the home truth
Room archaeology 2
I know it’s not THAT long since I cleaned my room. But where did this ancient technology come from?
