"They" do love to do this shit at xmas. Weird Inc like to do that sort of thing aroudn this time as well, and then you get the jolly xmas card from the big man at the top thanking you for all your hard work.....
That was very nice. There was something of Dylan Thomas in the line: "I listened and watched spellbound as snow fell in sheets on the fields all around us."
The government's answer to any problem is not sorting things out but criminalising people and punishing them. And if there is a fine to be had woo hoo.
I love the outside, the great outdoors; the sense of freedom and peace it gives me. I love the cold, and rain and snow, as long as I'm warm. I love breathing in cold breaths. I hope I don't ever stop loving it, that would make me so sad.
I watched John Cooper Clarke at what I think was the OPENING of the VirginMachesterMegasore (check out desks and all) - which is something, but doesn't even get close. Support??? Feck! Respect! more…
Man, that was good.
(Sorry, sent here by a friend, I don't get out much these days).
Keep that inky river in your head - as long as you have those memories to draw on, you won't disappaer into the machine.
(Watched Coast the other day; don't end up like Parkgate, cut off from the river, silted up, with only your memories) more…

Two thousand and nine,

I would have shouted "cunt" in his ear,
not "happy new year". more…
