Facebook post
Facebook is cool, isn't it? It's because of Facebook that I haven't really written anything here for a while. But the addiction is slowly wearing off now, I have definitely reached the peak and I am coming down the other end, soon it will level out for sure.

Howard Zinn post
'They gave their lives for their country.'
They didn't give their lives, their lives where taken from them.
They didn't die for their country, they died for their government.
They will die for Blair, Bush and Cheney, Halliburton. Who ever profits from war.
The poor go to war for the benefit of the rich.
Howard Zinn
Howard was involved with the first use of Napalm in war;
Near the end of WW2 he was part of a squad who bombed a small town in France with Napalm, killing German soldiers who were waiting for the war to end and French civilians too.
This changed his ideas on war forever.

American holiday! 4th July
To the residents of the United States of America,
In view of your abject failure to elect a President and thus to govern yourselves,
We give hereby Notice of the Revocation of your Independence, effective today at Five O'clock British Summer Time.
Her Britannic Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume sovereign duties forthwith over all states, commonwealths, and other territories. Except Florida, which Shall be returned to His Illustrious Catholic Majesty, King Juan Carlos of Spain.
Your new Prime Minister (The Rt Hon Gordon Brown, for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will suggest to Her Majesty a Governor-General for America without the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.
A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminum". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary." Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed."
2. There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.
3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that difficult.
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast British actors as the good guys.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen," but only after fully carrying out Task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.
6. You should stop playing American "football." There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football," but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour). We are hoping to get together at least an American rugby sevens side by 2009.
7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any "merde." The 97.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys.
8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in the British Empire. It will be called "Indecisive Day."
9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.

La luna post
Silly article here, at the end it reads; Meanwhile in 1994, Jack Nicholson starred in a film called Wolf, in which a publisher becomes infected by a creature and turns into a wolf at full moon.

Naked bike post
Next week, Saturday 9th June, is the second annual Brighton (second for Brighton, there have been four world ones) Naked Bike ride. Main website here.
There is a link to the Brighton one at the top.
Got my kids that day but still want to get involved, maybe they could go in the trailer of my bike! The slogan is 'bare as you dare', I'm not sure about going completely naked, need to get some skin coloured underwear!
What's the point? Well....
1. Protest against the global dependency on Oil
2. Curb Car Culture
3. Obtain real rights for cyclists
4. Demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets
5. Celebrate body Freedom
That's a picture from last year. In 2006 the police didn't want the participants to go completely naked and threatened to arrest anybody who did, this year after a initial no attitude, the police have reversed their policy and allowed full nudity. I think mainly because every other police force in the country allows it for their rides(London, Manchester, Southampton and York).
Everyone should sign this petition also.
The main jist of it is that they want to change the wording of the Highway Code to say that cyclist should use cycle facilities 'wherever possible'. This change of wording from 'wherever practical', means that cyclist will lose claims if in an accident when they are on the road but there is a cycle lane nearby. Say I am approaching a roundabout and I want to turn right, if I stay in the cycle lane then I am in the wrong place to turn right. Sometimes the cycle lanes are ridiculous and dangerous to use.

Great bit of art round the corner from me. Been meaning to photograph it for some time now. Reminds me of Newbury that does. Looking out over the waste land from the top of a tree. Those were strange times, changed me forever. I remember so much crazy stuff that happened in the year or so that I was involved with Direct Action, I really fucking loved it. If it wasn't for my kids, I would do it all again, maybe I will when they are older.Shame I did what I did after Newbury though, wont do that bit again!

Poland sounds scary for gay people post
I didn't know it was like this in Poland for gay people, you really don't want to be gay in Poland right now. I do know that the majority of the world is intolerant to gay people, but; BBC news article on the teletubbies investigation seems a bit over the edge kind of stuff when it comes to a rational way of dealing with this issue. It's really like there is a climate of fear in Poland for gay people....
