I used to think that JEB was the normal looking person on the board, I now take that all back....

Petemaskreplica = a younger fatter gary busey (a la point break) or Finigan Sinister....  (with red nose ala Simon Davis)

Id say "SEPERATED AT BIRTH"

Sweaty Machete, looks like Damon from Badly Drawn Boy...  

And Dudley looks like his icon

Ive been called Christian Slater and Keanu Reaves.  I look like neither, I suppose Im a shorter, fatter, scottish version of Vernon Kaye (well same hair) or at least thats what my wife says.  And she always correct...

I'm interested to learn that Nelson Mandela was 'the agent of gradualist change'. I thought 15 years ago it was a Conservative article of faith that Mandela and the ANC were a bunch of terrorists. How times have changed.

They do and so did Mandela*.  He was a terrorist to some and a freedom fighter to others, this is a part of the problem with terrorism and something I think Pat Mills is trying to explore in Savage.  Whilst Im certainly not saying that he was a terrorist, I seem to remember that Burning Neckties was a technique used by the ANC (or Freedom Fighters in South Africa).

The claim of double standards is a fruitless one, most people and organisation have double standards.  Its part of what makes us human.  Id say this thread is close to turning into a personal attack on Will.  Not that I share his politics, but lets be careful that we dont
a) bore the pants off of everyone
b) write long winded posts that dont change anyones mind **.

* - I collected for the ANC in my youth and hlped organise a number of events at school and uni to do with the Free Mandela Campaign.  So he is something of an idol of mine, but lets not make him a saint
** - Like Ive just done :)  

This was the main reason for my wife and I getting married.  Inheritance, control over sick partner, etc.  Now unless theyve changed the law over the last 5 or 6 years, the problem was not what my wife was entitled to.  As we were cohabiting and she was the mother of my child (at the time) she was fully entitled to a part of my income (rightly so), however the converse isnt true.  I wasnt at that point entitled to hers, unless we got married.  At that time she was earning more than double I was and we thought it was best to equalise this.  So we had a civil wedding.  Im probably rabbling....

Now if I was gay Id want the same rights, with my partner and I tihink that should be given.

On tatchell, Ive never liked him.  However, I dont like many people in the public eye.  Theyre all mostly self serving attention seekers.....

411 is directory enquiries in USA.....

SO like dribble said knowledge info, etc...

Yes, I felt like that when I left my last house.  Without waxing lyricalits about all I can say

I think its systematic of this country,we look for heroes to build up then spend time bringing them down.  Of course if they die when we are bringing them down, well they become untouchable.  The tabloid press has so much to answer for they just make me really angry.....

More Aimee, More Frank, More Flint art, More Williams gritty weirdness........
