    in case you think justice for Hillsborough's on track now...

    Actually from what I undestand quite a lot of commercial brewers don't use isinglass all the time but say they do to cover themselves for when they do need to. And guniess iirc was one that didn't at the time and may actually have been vegan. I certainly recall having an argument at a veggie...

    in case you think justice for Hillsborough's on track now...

    Used to be resolutely vegan. Would go into supermarkets to protest at the lack of vegan food on offer. Drank Guiness which company at the time sponsored fox hunts and when I mentioned that to him his reply was 'all alcohol is vegan' which is how he justified his drinking the black shite. His...

    Anyone renewed their Road Tax this month?

    No, this is new. This applies to ALL sales. Previously if you bought privately and the seller had not reclaimed the ved then it was transfered wqith the vehicle. Now it is not. As soon as the V5 is returned the VEd is cancelled and the buyer needs to pay again for a period that has already...

    Anyone renewed their Road Tax this month?

    Can I suggest everyone be aware that VED is no longer transferable. If you sell a vehicle, or buy one, and it is taxed then the tax does NOT get transferred with the vehicle. If you are the seller you need to reclaim any outstanding and if you are the buyer you need to purchase new VED from...

    Platini and his £16,000 watch.

    There's an interesting piece in the Telegraph today. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/11109065/Fifa-is-a-swamp-of-greed-Sepp-Blatter-claims-to-be-taking-lead-on-ethics-but-deserves-nothing-but-strongest-ridicule.html It seems that FIFA's main contribution to the 'watch...

    Platini and his £16,000 watch.

    So FIFA are accusing others of corruption. That would be FIFA run by Blatter, possibly the single most corrupt sporting administrator in the world, accusing someone else of corruption. Satire is something I don't think Blatter really understands. And I notice that FIFA has requested the...

    And speaking of which (and looking at Hagar's wiki page) their first gig was in fact supporting the estimable Josef Porta and his wonderful group The Mob, before he went on to form Blythe Power with Sarah and the others. As i said, the scene was really quite small in those days.

    Well, consdering that quite a few people I knew went to prison, some of them for quite lengthy periods, whilst he got fat representing the police he used to despise for £700 + vat per hour it shouldn't be hard to guess. TBH a lot of people in the movement at the time had serious doubts about...

    That's him. He seriously used to say it was acceptable to kill a human to protect an animal. He was also allegedly involved in that incident where broken glass was sprinkled on the highbury pitch before a game against (I think it was) Newcastle. I say allegedly, I was in the pub with him one...

    Only 4 Seconds but Brilliant

    4 seconds I could have spent doing something far better which sadly I will never get back.

    in case you think justice for Hillsborough's on track now...

    I was at university with Beggs, I knew him VERY well. I drank with him many times and went on a lot of hunt sabs with him. I know a lot about him and his activities with the animal rights 'extremists'. To put in context I have been veggie for over 30 years now and used to know Mike Huskisson...

    Post the time you stop watching England, here.

    Didn't start, couldn't care less. Overpaid show ponies milking the idiocy of fans imo.

    Trouble / violence at gigs.

    As a fairly scrawny punk in London at the time and spending a lot of time going to Flux, Conflict, Omega Tribe, Newtown Neurotics etc gigs. I never had any trouble from the skins. An Upstarts gig at the Robey one time was slightly different but then we all know it was going to be and were...
