Happy Face

I thought they were going to resign before the season started.

Have a nose around here. http://www.badscience.net/2008/09/the-medi...-everyday-life/ Yes....that book. Always happy to have a new blog to read. Ta

Read the first chapter of his book yesterday. Very good. Looking forward to getting round to the rest of it.

But if James Blackshaw got nominated, then they'd have been "correct".

I think it walks the line well. No-one could call those first 5 nominations SloopJohn-like in ther pretension. Which five? Florence and the Machine Kasabian Bat for Lashes La Roux Glasvegas If they haven't all had a number one, they've had a top ten....and will be getting Brit award nominations.

Anthony and Alistair from Sweet Billy Pilgrim currently play in The Boy Least Likely To's touring band, and Anthony's playing is featured on both The Boy Least Likely To albums. So at least one of my picks is tenuously associated to a nominee.

I think it walks the line well. No-one could call those first 5 nominations SloopJohn-like in ther pretension.

Apparently the Invisible are "the British TV on the radio" which sounds promising.

Nominations and odds... Florence and the Machine 5/1 Kasabian 5/1 Bat for Lashes 6/1 La Roux 6/1 Glasvegas 6/1 Speech Debelle 8/1 Friendly Fires 8/11 The Horrors 8/1 Lisa Hannigan 8/1 The Invisible 10/1 Led Bib 10/1 Sweet Billy Pilgrim 10/1 http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/jul/2...tions-announced Not one of them has odds as long as the one in 12 chance they have. Bloody bookies.

oooh. Forgot about Micachu. Love her. Should win. Listen to Golden Phone

Who would you like to see on the list? The Boy Least Likely To Late of the Pier I didn't really love either of them, but that's about it for me and British music this year. Five live just called lily Allen a waxed Chas n Dave.

The Economist practices advocacy journalism in taking an editorial stance based on free trade and globalisation. It targets highly educated readers and claims an audience containing many influential executives and policy-makers. The publication belongs to The Economist Group, half of which is owned by the Financial Times, a subsidiary of Pearson PLC. A group of independent shareholders, including many members of the staff and the Rothschild banking family of England, owns the rest. It's no surprise they come out with the opinions in bold when they cater to the very richest people that would fall victim to the fully justified tax increases proposed to cover the plan. The conclusion of the article is that if one social program is to be financed others should be cut to finance it....while Bush's tax cuts continue to reward the wealthy twice as much as middle income families who also do well out of them, while the poorest families are supposed to keep eating up their welfare cuts. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/08/washington/08tax.html I also wonder if they actually polled economists to see what "most" thought before making the claim. I know Krugman was all in favour of an increased tax solution last week...

I didn't think Stiglitz was starting up a bandwagon for state provided healthcare only. As always, the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

Reduce the UK population to its optimum 30 million people Fop's thought it through.

We cook the books on that score though... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8156391.stm

Yeah but the Secretary of State for Health and Joseph Stiglitz are on mine. February 25, 2009: AMY GOODMAN: And healthcare? [Obama has] called for universal healthcare, but he does not call for single-payer healthcare. JOSEPH STIGLITZ: I think that there are some fundamental problems in the efficiency of our healthcare system. And what we’ve seen is that the private healthcare insurers do not know how to deliver an efficient way. AMY GOODMAN: Do you support single-payer healthcare? JOSEPH STIGLITZ: I think I’ve reluctantly come to the view that it’s the only alternative. You know, we’ve tried a lot of other things. And we’ve been—you know, I was in the Clinton administration, and we debated a lot of alternatives, and I’ve watched things as they’ve emerged and, you know, evolved over the last twelve, sixteen years, and I think there’s a growing consensus that the private market exclusion is not going to work.

We were right on the halfway line. Some loon asked me to sit down. When Sholadonna was in that form? Right!

Can you get that on the download HF? It's the second one....not the new one. Followed it up with Prisoner of Azkaban (which was the best so far) and Goblet of Fire which was the worst with too much time dedicated to the prom and an ill defined contest that sees Voldermort (supposedly the scariest mo fo ever) and his monumental return relegated to a B story played out in the last few scenes. Night at the Museum - didn't even raise a chuckle. I smiled at the memory of Mandlebaum from Seinfeld when the Micky Rooney character stole his aged hard man act. But that was it.

Very simple....the hardest part is just getting the case off.

1) The Welcome- as people come into the crem/ church/ etc 2) The Reflection- played while people have private reflections/ prayer/ whatever 3) The Commital- into the fire so to speak 4) Goodbye- as people leave

I was well impressed that my auntie had this for her funeral last week...

This fucker in the orange...

Want to elaborate on that? Made himself centre of attention. Crowd sang "If Shola scores, we're on the pitch"...and he did...so we were...and he hoyed out one lad. Then Shola did it again....and he hoyed out another lad. There were loads of fans on the pitch both times, and most of the stewards let it go...but this fucker had to play the hard man. Funny as fuck the stick he took.

Surprised no-one's mentioned the steward yet. What a CUNT!
