Comment on Riot! by Sandeep

First, if there’s been an emergency on the level of the tasnumi, or Katrina, or a 9/11, it ain’t looting (at least to me) when you’re taking food, water, or other necessities from damaged shops if there’s no one guarding those shops (owners washed away to sea, maybe?). Now, sorry, but that 60 inch plasma TV is not a necessity no matter how much you may want one and say it is.Second, if you want to see REAL LOOTING, just take a look at what’s happening here in this country, as the wealthy loot the middle class and the poor.I guess that’s a lesser crime than what’s going to happen soon, which, after they finally kill all of us, will be grave robbing!’But, by then, they’ll change the laws and digging up corpses to pull the pennies off the eyes, or the gold from the teeth, in their never ending quest for more, more, more, grave robbing won’t be a crime, it’ll be called A Decomposition Donation. After all, our Galtian Overlords deserve every last shekel from every last one of us. They’ve earned it!Breaking into a store at night and taking a 60 inch plasma pales in comparison to what’s happening out in broad daylight in this country.Shit, the Somali pirates would be ashamed if we were ever to compare them to the rich assholes in this country. At least they loot and steal because they need to. Not because they enjoy it.

Comment on The end of my cyber love affair…….? by Will Kemp

Ah, sometimes i wish i could give up the internet – but i could never do it voluntarily. Being cut off for a month would probably be a real gift. But even then, i don’t think i could give it up forever.

Sifting through the crap to find the good stuff and somehow tuning out the ads etc is essential, and i guess i’ve had a lot of practice over the years, but sometimes the ads do really irritate me.

I’ve been using the internet since 1994 and it amazes me how it’s developed over that time. There was hardly anything on the web in 94, i can tell you!

Just looked at an earlier comment and it seems their interpretation of ‘headline’ is slightly different to mine. So I’ll just say Wishbone were the final act.

I haven’t had time to read all of this ( will do tommorrow) but Wishbone definitly headlined. I wasn’t a big fan but was blown away by the whole experience of their act. It was a warm evening for the end of Sept, the day had been superb and the breeze, the hair and two guitars playing so well was magnificent despite the cans of god knows what being thrown from behind!

I have just this month moved into Tolleshunt D’Arcy and so have been researching the village and it’s history. We have moved into a very charming house almost opposite D’Arcy House. I had better finish the unpacking very soon as your website has certainly whetted my appetite and I can see I shall be reading for weeks to come. What a character J H S seems to have been and I really hope I can track down a copy of his journal very soon. Now that I have discovered your website I will continue to ‘dip in’
Thank you

Hi Just been reading the Diary Of Dr. J H Salter. So decided to have a look see what was on the net regarding him. Came across your site. The book was part of a lot I bought at Reeman Dansie Auctions in Colchester. Yes it states in there JHS had glass eye. Also confirms he was a hunting shooting fishing man, went to Russia, met so many people and lived a very full life. Staunch Mason.

Comment on SMiLE……a teenage symphony to God. by Nick Fisher

Once again, your attention to detail is impressive, and I’ve always been inspired and instructed by your observations on sound, ambience and production. Your sense of humour remains sharp, heart-warming and uniquely Ruffle-esque.
Peace and love…

Comment on My pet Jackdaw by pete

pete — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:16:16 +0000

I too know a tame Jackdaw. His name is Blacky and he is something of a local celebrity. From what I can gather Blacky was found in a wrecked nest and hand reared by a neighbour. Blacky comes most days,loves to sit on peoples shoulders and likes to eat butter and sultanas and sounds like no other Jackdaw. He has 290 friends on Facebook
