Shit-kitters
God, was the new England jersey designed by a Scotsman?
Coming to a high street near you as worn by an 18 stone Grimsby Town fan, who will insist on tucking the shirt into his jeans. I just hope there's a washing powder out there that's powerful enough to get the pissy lager and gravy stains out.
PS - Scotland to get gubbed 4-1 by the Dutch.

New Old Age
Further to the recent viewing of A Month In The Country - a film I hadn't seen in about 17 years - a mention of an excellent website dedicated to trying to getting the film reissued on DVD. The website looks like a real labour of love, and you can't help but admire such dedication.
I wish there were more websites like this out there.
And as a throwaway, one of my favourite passages from the novel on which the film was based.

Quote for the week:
War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle; therefore they take boys from one village and another village, stick them into uniforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts against each other. Thomas Carlyle, as quoted by Emma Goldman in her essay Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty, 1911.
Continuing luck with your MySpace adventures!

John Pilger's 'Palestine is the issue'
The next in the fortnightly series of films and talks at the Socialist Party's Head Office, 52 Clapham High Street, London SW4 will take place this Saturday, 14 March, at 6pm.
It's "Palestine is the Issue", a film by John Pilger on the long-running Israel-Palestine conflict.
It will be followed by a discussion and a presentation of the socialist case against nationalism in all its forms and for a world without frontiers in which the resources of the Earth will belong to the people of the world.
Everybody is welcome and admission is free. The nearest tube is Clapham North on the Northern Line.
