Probably half the people renting would rather buy if they could, but they can't, so temporary renting near work it is.

ronya posted:in journalism, I found this essay interesting: I used to go through there a lot, I saw all of the flats pop up (well, get erected over many years), I saw rows of council houses go from occupied, to boarded up, to gentrified. My friend's band rehearsed in that mill and had one of their videos shot there too. I volunteered in a primary school there for a couple of years after graduating. I also balked at the 'New Islington' name, it's poncy as gently caress. I still drive through when I'm going to the Chinese supermarket. I've known lots of people who have lived there and in all cases it's been this: Private Speech posted:Probably half the people renting would rather buy if they could, but they can't, so temporary renting near work it is. They work in town, they aren't able to afford to buy, so they rent - and why not near town. These are people who might not be exactly the same as the locals but they're not the enemy. Except influencers. They are the enemy, they do think they're better than the locals. I think a lot of the resentment documented is misdirected and I have also experienced it from the locals when I was at university and living in halls. I was a kid who had arrived to live in something the size of a prison cell that was close enough for me to walk to classes, I didn't know why all the locals hated me as soon as I arrived. But I'm a oval office who lives in a Barratt development dropped in the middle of a council estate, with more popping up all the time.

Some loose connection to that incident. I remember some prize quotes from one who lived in the same block as my then boyfriend, who said - "We 'ate blacks and we 'ate people who 'ate blacks". So when I said 'What about Jimi Hendrix' who they all liked the response was "Jimi ain't black he's from Bristol". At which point I gave up listening. I have a memory that I was supposed to get everyone tickets to a Wishbone Ash gig because I was the only one with a credit card but I 'forgot' funnily enough.

Felt an inclination to google Wishbone Ash and saw this on their wiki: "Formed in Torquay, Devon, in 1969, out of the ashes of the trio The Empty Vessels (originally known as The Torinoes)" Wishbone Ash 1973 - long forgotten rock bands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg6zqejXvqI

I still remember Wishbone Ash, never saw them (think you may have the advantage of being a year or two older than me) but liked them well enough. Keep meaning to get my own copy of Argus. The more counter-cultural stuff like Deviants, Pink Fairies, 'awkwind (to name a few) were more my jam. E; Forgot to add, another of the surprisingly enlightened things about the Windsor HA was that they uniquely allowed some women to be full-patch members rather than only "mamas".

EmptyVessel posted:Ha, that's pretty funny and something I did not know. That's good I had a horrible thought I might be semi-doxxing you LOL Pink Fairies - I forgot about them. They had an album with a full frontal nude male on it (maybe inner sleeve or something). Can't find it on google now. I had Kings of Oblivion - seen how much that is going for these days! I sold all my albums when I moved abroad for the princely sum of £250 - very proud of my "remarkably small pile of shame" as the dealer who came to fetch said when he went through them. He put Tubular Bells on the shameful pile until I told him side 1 was pressed Tubular bells (V2001) BUT side 2 was pressed Gong Flying Teapot (V2002) so obviously the end run of the first pressing and the start of the second pressing. This was my favourite track off that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGAMCtBL67I

Other than aspirins / paracetemol /ibuprofen / omniprazole, my exposure to drugs consists of puffing on a pipe of something or other at 1 party while in 3rd year at uni and snogging a OMG FIRST year in the physics department, and a couple of puffs of puff which did absolutely zero for me and was far less reliable than alcohol which I am now sadly 'allergic' to (gives me tachycardia, extremely elevated blood pressure etc).

what a fkin wanker. He has no idea what state she was in and how long she'd been going without food before she took that desperate walk. And no doubt when he went without food he wasn't looking after a couple of little kids. Dunno why I'm yelling into the SA void here. Maybe I should hunt him down on twitter and have a go though I suspect he will have privatised his account temporarily.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:That's good I had a horrible thought I might be semi-doxxing you LOL Yeah Gilli Smyth rocks, saw her at Glasto' 81. If you are into Gong at all I can solidly endorse the current post-Daevid Allen incarnation (officially appointed by him as successors pre-death) as well worth seeing. I was sceptical but got dragged to see them a few years ago and they deliver in spades. Can't find that Tubular Gong miss-press on Discogs but that's probably worth loads now, your vinyl dealer got a bargain. Also can't think which Pink Fairies thing has the full frontal nude, but they weren't shy about playing in the buff. Here & Now (who played behind Daevid Allen as Planet Gong) have a full frontal on one of the centre discs of their first album, the spindle hole is exactly where you think it is. A visual joke later used by Gruppo Sportivo and no doubt others. Guavanaut posted:I think that's the stuff that they extract from the inner sleeve of nude males. Hawkwind explicitly state on their first album that their intention was to make people trip without any chemical help. (Also, alcohol is a drug so...) Methinks this arse is lying like a rug.

EmptyVessel posted:(Also, alcohol is a drug so...) Drug originally came from Dutch/Low German for 'dry', as in dried herbs, so presumably alcohol is a wiet. Then again so is anything you put under your tongue with a dropper and I don't think the courts buy that explanation. Although although they did fairly recently strike nitrous off of the big "everything is a drug" law on account of it being a common gas.

Think my friend is friends with Lee now. Seen them exchanging messages on FB. Sure I've mentioned this before, but Cathedral was my first ever gig, October 2002, the Cathouse in Glasgow, supported by Electric Wizard. Had left school that year, my friend was in uni & offered me a ticket so I travelled down despite not actually knowing either band. Remember spending a couple of hours in his room in the Strathclyde halls listening to stuff on his computer, & it was very good, obviously. He had a DVD that among other things had the amazing video for Hopkins (Witchfinder General) from The Carnival Bizarre. It was cool though, Lee was hanging out at the back of the crowd through the entire Electric Wizard set just enjoying it, this when they were still a trio & they could be either the best band in the world or the worst band in the world depending on how hosed up they were, it was amazing. God, Hopkins still rips, & the video is still hysterical with how corny & cheap it is. Now I've just remembered the banjo cover of Wizard's Funeralopolis on Youtube & that is so great. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Jan 15, 2023 |

Oh yay.... they are looking to give the police extra powers to stop disruptive protests 'before they happen', which in itself sounds very pre-crimey, but they are going to make it illegal for many people to strike soon. So any strike, or discussion of taking industrial action, or even a nod in support of people who do speak out could be enough for a 4am boot through your door. I was going to share a twitter share of the BBC article, but I don't have the energy to vet the people sharing it. Linky here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64282962
