Re: Class struggle in Spain

I never could understand why fighting for your job involves trying to kill or maim Police Officers who are also working class people trying to do a job. Sadly, the Police often get caught up in the firing line between a Govt & it's people. However, I imagine a few striking miners in this country in...

Re: What are you playing tonight?

I've done something that I keep telling myself not to do - order an album without having heard a single thing on it (Gaslight Anthem's latest bag-o'-shite, anyone?). But anyway, I've read too many good reports and too much talk of 'a stomping return to form' for them all to be wrong - so now on ord...

Yeah, why not? In fact, replace all the prancing in a leotard/prancing horsey events with anything that can be played in a pub. Dominoes, darts, bar billiards, chess . :shock: Where do you drink Puskas? I wouldn't fancy your chances walking into the Ancient Shephard asking "Anyone for a game of che...

Re: Rangers are liquidated

It'll be only a very short-term inconvenience tho Fats. Into administration, clear their debts & then get the income from crowds of 50,000 or so each week . They'll get inordinate media attention too. They will walk through the leagues. The only question is how long it takes to settle down. It's fe...

Re: Summer Holidays

I had in mind a few Aussies I've known over the years. When they were planning holidays or discussing them it was like a big competition to have been to the most places. I'm all for trying new places each year as you do, it is more the going somewhere just to tick it off. Half the time when they we...

Re: What are you reading tonight?

Off to Stratford on Avon tomorrow for a new production of Troilus and Cressida . Neither I nor my wife have ever seen or read the play, so spent much of this afternoon reading it aloud. Got up to the end of Act IV - one more to go tomorrow morn. It's got an excellent comic character, the uncle of C...

Re: Summer Holidays

A fair number of people these days seem to be ticking places off a list. Seems to be more important to have a long list of places visited than much else. This seems to be an affliction of Aussies, though certainly not confined to them. I've never been to the same place twice for my big holiday. Bee...
