Interesting and worrying. Enforced by the previous comment that Ferage's lot are fascists. I refuse to believe that a large portion of the British population are "fascist", and let's face it, a large portion now supports Reform. Fascism, as far as I am aware, demands radical change and is outside of the democratic process.

Anyhow, there is clearly a watershed in British politics ahead, and more so now than ever before, name-calling will have more power than ever before: racist, traitor, Islamist, fascist, communist, globalist, etc., because of internet access.

I will say two things: maybe it is a good thing that the UK's two-horse race between Labour and Conservative is over, and more importantly, I have broken my own personal rule of not getting involved with political discussion on this hallowed forum!

cthulhu, I love that comment. Maybe future archaeologists will not need trowels, lines and markers, as well as permission from the current landowner, to determine how people lived in the 21st century; they will just need access tut net, and a lot of caffeine.

Also, I remember that 1991 Finsbury Park gig when NMA supported The Mission... they were second on the bill, the other acts were Killing Joke, Rollins Band and Bleach... damn good gig!

Yes, Steve Van Zandt was on that VHS compilation of NMA videos that came out in the late 80's or early 90's....

I believe his exact words in the clip were something like 'Hey yoo! Listen up!  Noo Model Army - my favourite vagabonds... doing... Vagabonds... here it is!' and then a cheesy smile...  ;D

I've looked up Villain and found a release, again a spanish import and put it on my wishlist. Thanks for the great suggestions! While searching for a release there was a movie called Sitting Target mentioned...have you seen this one?

Never seen Sitting Targets but I just looked it up and it sounds like one I'd really like to see!  Always up for a bit of Ollie Reed!

OK, I've had a pissed off morning simply due to trying to send money to a friend to a gig ticket he bought me...

So, I needed to send some cash.  Logged into my online account, chose 'new payer' and I was told I had to log on with a Pinsentry device (which I don't have) before I could send any money.  OK, I'll ring the bank to try and sort this out... nope, you've got more chance of speaking to God himself than an actual human being... but you can do this via the Barclays app on your phone...

Now I don't do financial matters via my phone simply because my phone got hacked a couple of years ago after using hotel Wi-Fi leading to unpleasantness about which I will not bother you with.  But why, in the name of unholy fook, can you not do these things via your laptop?  It's all online stuff, innit?   :-\

Long story short, I had to waste half of my day off from work going over to Macclesfield because that's the only chance I have of sitting down with a human being who could help.... and, get this, I was interrogated about why I wanted to send money that I couldn't do with that app that was supposedly so amazing!  I was tempted to say 'well, 'Hookers R Us are doing a two for one deal and I hear Big Dave has some cracking Columbian coming in' but I behaved myself...   ;D

But jeez, why should I go through this stuff just to spend my own money?  I see Nationwide are offering cash for anyone who transfers their account over to them and they've got a branch two minutes away from my flat...  :)
