Goths, clubs and inclusiveness.
Most of you probably know I used to spend quite a bit of time on the goth/industrial scene. Indeed, my ex and I even set up a club night called Intrusion, that somehow survived my drunken idiocy. That club night has been passed on to the eminently deserving Mark Wickson and Doktor Joy, who are (as far as I can tell) doing a far better job of ( Read more... ) -
This is how it happened.
I've written here everything that has happened with Vodafone so far, mostly so I don't lose track when I finally get to speak to someone. Feel free to take a look if you can offer any advice, or just want a laugh at Vodafone. And me, obviously.

Idiocy on Facebook (surprise!)
Some of you might have seen the proliferation of witless groups all over Facebook complaining about a ban on England shirts in England pubs. The one saying "It's funny how our flag offends you, but our benefits don't" is a personal favourite. And by favourite I mean shining example of lead paint licking stupidity ( Read more... ) -

I miss Berlin already.
We are home. London was vile, even more so than usual. There will be a proper write up, but not now. I cannot be doing with going through a week's worth of entries. Did I miss anything interesting? -
Swiss rolled.
The whole Polanski issue has me a little foxed. As far as I can gather, a man had sex with a thirteen year old girl, and got caught. He was then charged with about six counts. He pleaded guilty to one count as part of a plea bargain, and then skipped the country, staying "fugitive" in France for thirty years. What happens after that, with the ( Read more... ) -
Out of interest......
Does anyone else think that the video for the new Rammstein song, "Pussy", is just crass? The song itself isn't doing anyone any favours either. I really like Rammstein, and I don't have any real objection to porn, but I just think it lacks any class whatsoever. I'm not screaming "take it down" or anything, I'm just disappointed.
Or am I just past
