    Will youth be fooled again?

    the sense of event may be lost from broadcasts (but I don't see that this is necessarily true; the Olympic opening/closing ceremony, counting the points on Eurovision, waiting for the Crazy Frog to kick Coldplay's ass on the radio), but it is ever present in live performances, especially when...

    Will youth be fooled again?

    The charge of fogeyism wasn't meant without humour! But I'd still argue it: youth rebellion is a fairly pointless pursuit. leading a "sensible" life When you get to the point where you have thoughts like this you're lost to childhood and therefore lost to youth rebellion, the ideal, and a...

    Individualism?

    as humans are pack animals, altruism is always self interest, in my book. That's what makes it so rewarding. (on holiday in turkey recently, every time the mosques broadcast the call to prayer, i wished good for each of the people I'd encountered recently, one by one. it made me happy)

    The Eastenders Thread

    have you not seen it lately? it's graced by some outstanding writers including jonathan 'gimme gimme gimme' harvey and daran little. perhaps less good on tragedy but it is pretty much as reliably hilarious as 'my parents are aliens'
