This won't be a total fucking sinkhole for public cash, paid to a private firm, owned by some business idiots who will fuck it up, run over on costs and accidentally leak everybody's iris scan to the dark web.

Americans I am begging you to sort this out. Your mad racist uncle has shat himself in public again.

We're entering dangerous territory here. The legacy media seems afraid to call the fuckers out on it, and the "new" media platforms are visibly amplifying them. I don't advocate violence, these days, but these wankers need properly slapping down. By whatever means necessary.

ArcTanGent was bloody great this year. Seeing the Melvins for the first time was one of the many highlights.

"We Lost The Sea" at ATG. Amazing. Made me a bit emotional, in a good way.

Was it called Fast Eddie's when it turned into a pool hall? That rings a bell for some reason.

No offence to you, mate, but already most of your 50 states are allowing masked thugs to snatch people off the streets... Fascism in action.

It's not just Florida though, is it? EVERYONE in that shit tip of a country supports this.. Unless they do something about it... A vile nation of fascist bastards. Rise up!!!

(image of chips frying in a deep fat fryer) Back in the 70s, chip pan fires were all the rage. These days everyone is so lazy that they dont even put their chips in boiling fat anymore, and these fires are a thing of the past. Come on people, help the fire service and enjoy a trip down memory lane by having a proper, good old-fashioned chip pan fire. Iwan carr, Upper Llandwrog
