Point one: I am going to be speaking at the Oxford Radical Forum this Sunday, along with Nina Power, Owen Hatherley, Richard Seymour and other Much Cleverer People. Programme here.
Point two: last night I went to a Chumbawamba gig. It was great, apart from the part where I got slapped in the face by a racist in a massive yellow flak jacket. Lots of screaming from wankered whitepeople to 'play whitewash!!' Band not impressed.
Point three: I am watching Geert Wilders on the news. He looks and talks like a badly-ageing, drunk Draco Malfoy.
You should have stopped being tolerant of the intolerant and slapped the bloke back.
ReplyDeletelove ya
ReplyDeletei'm but a thick uneducated plumber but even i can see the first part reads as if to imply you consider Nina, Owen and Richard not up to par educationally
ReplyDeleteThe headline now has me singing 'What difference does it make" by the Smiths.
ReplyDeleteYou saw Chumbawamba live? *envy*
ReplyDeleteHi- this isn't a comment as such. I just wanted you to know taht I read your blog, and like it. A lot.
ReplyDeleteHere is a very sad story of global gendercide against females. I hope this lays to rest any objections that progress does not need to be made to avoid disaster.
ReplyDeleteWell... look at it this way... at least the venue for the forum you've been booked to speak at isn't St.Hilda's. S-M-I-L-E!
ReplyDeleteI went to the ORF in (I think) 2008. It was good.
ReplyDeleteThough I think it finally cemented Wadham's status as the "radical and leftwing" college over Balliol.
The Wadham-based ORF was pulling in literally hundreds. The Balliol Left Caucus did well if 7 people and a dog turned up.
True story. Chumbawumba used to record in the studios, above the club where I had my wedding 'reception'. Caught my ex sister in law- having sex underneath chumbawumbas drum kit. That is a claim to fame. Unfortunately as she was a Tory councillor at the time, am not sure she found it as funny as I did.
ReplyDelete"I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down!" If that isn't your mobile ring tone, Laurie, then it should be!
