snow, and the refusal of work
Feb 2 2009 21:18
london mayor boris johnson tells people the snow is "not an excuse for a mass skive... in principle it ought to be possible to do some work, even if you do it at home."
i spent the day making snow angels, doing jack bauer leap/rolls over (low) fences and drinking whisky to keep warm. better than work by an impossibly large factor. did anyone have to work today?

Don't feel bad, most of you will be in the salt mines under my communism:
JoeK for being a raver
Weeler for being a gypsy
Revol, for being Revol

As long as you keep shovelling salt, the guards will be happy for you to sing, for a bit, before shooting you all.

I drank my weight in White Russians. Not sure what it had to do with snow. Tacks called me all excited at 1.30pm cos he wanted to go throw snowballs at bankers. Dunno how he woulda managed it, seeing as how there were no buses or trains but he reckoned there was a way to get into central. I told him to get drunk like everyone else.

- Revol 2007 when he was on death-threat
- JDMF 2005 when Revol posted his bodybuilding pictures
- Alanisfuckingdead 2004 being anti-porn
- Jack 2005 being still a disgusting dirty punk

Actual quote from Tacks' interview re:Alan
'He is the best, probably the best ever. We went to shops in the famous 'east end' and bought our flatcaps. I think 'Mad' Frankie Fraser owned the shop, or the Krays, someone like that... anyway...it was the best. We walked about and everyone knew we were working class because of our caps. We argued about whos cap was flatter, I thought mine was and so i was more working class. He though his was but in the end we agreed that we were both really good at working class and split a tin of ginger beer on the bus home. It was great, and the best.'

If I ever needed to explain why I thought Platformists were such complete spastics in one sentence, it'd probably be this.
Yes, cos its not snowing here
