out.
Only 5 mins.
Safe for work and fluffy music.
Fück you Tories, you drove us into the sea and we discovered a whole new continent. Posting this from a flat in the 4e Paris living with a mate from the first French free sound system.
Thanks, Maggie.

Still, at least when you got driven into the sea you probably got a much-needed wash, eh? ;-)Quote:

But I put that down to not drinking Jaegermeister. All the Jaeger drinkers got slepp.
But living on site in winter means you smell of diesel and wood-smoke. No need to wash. If Channel could bottle it they'd flog it for millions.
I was always like that. We all were. It's just when we went out for a party, we didn't do an E, come down and go home. We went out for 3-4 months during which we boshed everything under the sun and changed venue c. every ten days and country c. once a month.Quote:

Yet they treated us as if we were.
That has been the point I've been trying to make.
Coleridge and Jane Austen were junkies until they died. If you make culture that makes people happy without threatening local home owners, businesses, and/or the global economic system, why smash up our homes and families?
We weren't a threat. We were the classic English underdog and the classic English cultural leader that the rest of Europe imitates.
Did we deserve that battering, C?
Home come you crusty folk can't actually dance? You just seem two jig up and down and point at things.
Some of the kids look rather fed up gan.
Where / how do generate any monies, g?Quote:

I think you're asking me why the polic were heavy-handed in their dealings with you, which question, not having been a senior police officer at the time, I can't answer.Quote:

If you set yourselves up as being outside of society, if you look like an unwashed mess, don't go to work and generally scare the horses, you're going to attract attention. That's a fact of life. If the odd copper swung his truncheon with a little excess glee, that's clearly wrong but entirely predictable.
Anyway, the point is that Thatcher didn't tell policemen to hit you with sticks. Tony Benn, on the other hand, worked tirelessly to deliver you into the hands of a soviet dictatorship, and he's considered a good man.
I'm not being harsh, g. Just pleading for a little realism.

As for looking fed up, I'd generally only get the camera out after a week or so, normally before we packed down and left. Why do you think we have massive walls of speakers with only one or two dancing? It wasn't like that on the first Saturday nights, which is why I wasn't wasting my night lugging a camera and tripod around.
Special Brew :-(Quote:

Do you know the history of Spesh?Quote:

Yet in '50, Lab won again and the King of Denmark said he'd invite WC over anyway.
He said to his royal brewers, Carlsberg, WC is a pisshead but we don't make wine here, so make him a beer that is a special brew.
So they got Elephant Beer, whacked it up to 9% and added so much valerian it was the equivalent of 20 mils of valium per pint.
So with every can, I drink to the liberation of Europe.
Enjoy your Stella or whatever and feel superior to us Brew Crew crusties.
That was very interesting, thank-you.Quote:

It's still phucking disgusting though. And is basically the drink of choice of people who don't wash.
It is now Cameron made no can allowed more than 4 units so it's 8%.Quote:
