    Will BBC1 'cave' and show My Beautiful Laundrette in the middle of the afternoon? ...right at the birth of the British new wave that was... You sure? More the tail end, Shirley. A Taste of Honey, This Sporting Life, Hard Days Night, Kes etc. led the way. Trying to think what's followed My Beautiful Laundrette. Queer as folk and East is East? ...the new new wave. When half our producers and dir moved to Hollywood. Films by Loach, Leigh, Jarman and Terence Davies were doing the rounds with good receptions in Europe etc... Well if that's your definition. I always thought the likes of Lindsay Anderson and Richard Lester (who also went to the US) were the pioneers of the British New Wave. EDIT: I missed the additional 'new' I wonder when the new new new wave is due. Sick of these Romanians hogging all the limelight. What a cracking smilie that is. There is a bit of a wave developing in Germany, Poland, Czech at the moment....Not sure about England. Was at an art exhibition the other night where my mate was showing and had the misfortune to be talking to some people from London (Chelsea college of art and other 'types'). Within minutes they were trying to 'high brow' me about culture and such...and how Viggo Mortensen was eating in a 'Russian cafe' near their house durign filming of EP's and thier (learnt off by heart from the Guardian) analysis of Cronenberg (immediately grating the delicate palate of my artistic bullshit speak detecting inner ear). One painted dwarf (a small woman) was rather shrill (as she repeatedly fingered the gold buttons on my old YSL jacket I wear to 'throw people' at such gigs) saying repeatedly "You know even these buttons are political". There was other 'chatter' about Warhol and low budget films and the BFC and more contracted interactions about poetry and suchlike... You see whenever I meet creatives from the old country I always walk away wishing rolling failure, death and destruction on the fucking lot of them.

  5. Disarming means I wasn't carrying the knife. Chair was just a reflex thing. I'm normally very non-violent. where? Brixton (reggae party) 10 years ago. http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=413301 ...you see why you're slipping 2Jeep? Least I'm not in free fall tbh. Might do you good. I still nominated you in the funniest poster section for N.O. awards if that is any consolation. Whoopee fucking doo! ...that's a whole other section Alex.
  6. Aye, spot on. Had the misfortune of a family like that in front of me in the queue at the check-in desk on Monday morning. Archetypal middle class families (like these) seem to be really bad for not keeping their kids in check I find. I had to behave if I was at a restaurant or whatever when I was a bairn or we wouldn't go back. It's hard to contain my glee when they trip up or something and start screaming which is canny bad really as it's the parents fault.

  12. I watched this happen, what Parky didn't include was after the disarmament, the black man proceeded to pin Parky down and crashed the custard truck so to speak. ...actually he was taken to hospital cause unlike the movies the chair I hit him with didn't break...
