Grist to the Mill: May 2004
http://fragmentsoffear.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html
Grist to the Mill. 13 May, 2004. Like the old jazz standard, I find myself 'in a sentimental mood'. In a mood such as this, it's random acts of kindness that break your heart - more so than cruelty or spitefulness. Here's an anecdote that evoked feelings of full-on pathos for the other woman involved: my mum was walking me in my pram along a canal bank, near the tannery that was quite close to our street in northern England. Is it hanging down? I haven't got time to go back and tack it up! The tremendous...

Grist to the Mill: August 2004
http://fragmentsoffear.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html
Grist to the Mill. 25 August, 2004. A pointless post because I don't feel like writing anything else. Late August not mid June. Bucket and spade not 'sand sculptures'. Valiant effort not not running for buses. Geoffrey Boycott not Ian Botham. Brown sauce not ketchup. Old Labour not New Labour. Tony Benn not Tony Blair. Breakfast radio not breakfast TV. John Coltrane not Miles Davis. Dressing down not dressing up. Leonard Rossiter not Ricky Gervais. Forward thinking not 'getting where I am today'. We are ...

More notes from underground. "I don't get what the society wants.". Wednesday, December 31, 2008. So we had to fight hard for the boring mainstream. And so it came to pass - the UK government and Barack Obama both committed to 80% reductions in carbon emissions by 2050, and I am going into 2009 with a spring in my step and feeling more at home in our strange civilisation. Not only this; the progress of history and ideas is at last resuming. (See September 18th, below) It's. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

What would Puskas do? Why take moral advice from a carpenter and Jewish revolutionary who died fighting roman control nearly 2000 years ago? Far better to read the advice of a street-wise, savvy, south London ginger cat. You know it makes sense. Thursday, September 30, 2004. And more reasons to be miserable. From yesterday's Guardian diary. Why do we worry about the state of the country - indeed, the world, again? Hmmm Anyway, here you go:. We want to hear from you.". Posted by Puskas at 6:59 AM.

She used to enjoy Strictly; she’d laugh out loud at Rory Bremner; and for several years was an avid fan of Eastenders, insisting that some of the dramatic situations were “as good as Shakespeare”.

Grist to the Mill: September 2004
http://fragmentsoffear.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html
Grist to the Mill. 28 September, 2004. Following on from the Narcisstic Personality post, the "flatmate" and I sat last night perusing similar websites on the Internet, laughingly deciding which personality disorder we each had. Which reminded me of the following. Taken from. Three Men in a Boat. Which I couldn't get along with on the grounds that it was waaay too twee and silly) you have to admit that the opening pages are kind of funny:. Why this invidious reservation? I had walked into that reading-ro...

More notes from underground. "I don't get what the society wants.". Sunday, May 02, 2010. HANG THEM ON THE GREEN by The Forgers. This is a pre-Election song for the worst Parliament in living memory. While it's not completely finished, but thought I'd post it while election fever is in the air. I'll re-release it for the next big wave of disillusionment. The video was a rushed job - the water near the end was supposed to be a symbol of stagnation. The video is on YouTube here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

More notes from underground. "I don't get what the society wants.". Wednesday, December 23, 2009. HOW THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCUPPERED YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. Let this moment be inscribed in history. By Mark Lynas, The Guardian, 23.12.09. Because I was in the room and saw it happen. Demanded a furious Angela Merkel. Australia's prime minister, Kevin Rudd, was annoyed enough to bang his microphone. Brazil's representative too pointed out the illogicality of China's position. Why should rich co...The Chine...
