  • Hard News: Kids these days,

    They are the "Look at Me" generation. Social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and MyYearbook allow individuals to post a personal profile complete with photos and descriptions of interests and hobbies. A majority of Gen Nexters have used one of these social networking sites

    Poor little bastards. Everytime I encounter a MySpace car crash I feel old and great, like a Creationist God.

    I'm hoping by the time my kids start wanting to write rubbish on t'Interweb that Usenet's obvious old skool kool will have seen it vanquish that beastly migraine inducing Murdoch travesty.

    NNTP is the new black...

    I still have a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Chris Cairns under my bed.

    How does he smell?

  • Stories: Best Party Ever,

    Surely someone should have mentioned the legendary Pope Party at the Lyall Bay home of Kerry Annett in 1986? I certainly remember it as it was my first time meeting Janice (loosely associated with Russell's Brixton yarn), Alex, Ross and a host of other deviants. It was the 2nd time that I met Kerry and the future babe of my dreams.

    Anyway, apart from some toilet demolition, we burnt a large upside down cross (as you do) in the uphill back garden, just in time for John Paul to do his drive-by. Just beforehand the police turned up and told us we had to put it out. I jumped up in my best leather jacket, ripped jeans and docs, and politely enquired "You can't make us do that!?"

    "Yes we can" the mild mannered bobby replied. "You're living in a police state, son".

    It's vaguely heartening to discover I'm not the only one in this hemisphere grieving into my coffee. Group hug?

    Heh, I'm shocked.

    Hugs are definitely called for, and a gentle pat, and a "there, there" wouldn't go amiss either.

    *sniffs*

    It probably also makes him a bloke who after this season's shenanigans by the Hammers, is crying into a warm pint of flat beer.

    Crisis, I wish! This morning it descended into total farce. You do know our club song includes "..fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere..."?

    Honestly, we've only ourselves to blame.

    Yes, and if some people in the comments box have their way Jane Clifton and Joanne Black need a good purging because of the ideologically unsound jobs of their respective spouses/long-term partner.

    Well, I live in the sticks and wouldn't have a clue who her belly warmer is. But God she's dull.

    Meanwhile, over at the Fundy Post, Paul has his wicked, godless fun with the nether regions of the same newspaper.

    Heh, I enjoyed that. As well as being a West Ham fan (which automatically makes him a good bloke), Steve Braunias was both funny and a degenerate. Joanne Black is neither, more's the pity.

    Between JB and Pamela Stirling, the Listener needs a bit of a sort out tbh. See what you can do will you Russ?
