Re: CD - it's not dead yet!

Only last night a friend was extolling the virtues of vinyl over CDs, He then proceeded to show me a "fantastic" re-release of an old jazz album. It was on an obscure eastern european label with poor quality printing of the sleeve notes. I hadn't got the heart to tell him it was probably ...

Re: Taking the piss out of politics

Why he did not go for a free vote eludes me, it's not as if it was ever going to change anything. Last night was very much in the realms of gesture politics and regrettably he fluffed his lines and shot himself in the tush.

Re: Taking the piss out of politics

It's a desperate move.

You might call it a poke in a pig...
And yet somehow the country elected him, and then Boris. Democracy really needs to have a long hard think about what it's been doing recently...
