I think SJ means it's just another conduit for the human voice. Plenty crap from people in papers, on radio talk shows, on the telly too. But the problem with the web is that it has become a kind of dumping ground of information that's now hard to erase and which can be googled for years to come (good or bad) and secondly it's a medium that can hit millions across the globe instantly making it hard to control (again good or bad). It's potential to damage an individuals or businesses reputation overnight scares me. Freedom of speech is one thing but it surely needs at least *some* controls.

Have to say that does sound pretty freaky.

I don't normally side with Tory multi-millionaire businessmen, but I hope Lord McAlpine successfully sues the arses off all those Twits, starting off with Alan Davies...

I got caught in the Cotswolds as a tropical style thunderstorm descended on the area. That was pretty ball-sac reducing I can tell ya.


In my late twenties, burning the candle at both ends and with a stressful job, I used to suffer occasionally from sleep paralysis. Stuck helpless at the mercy of your own psyche, now that's scary!!

I'm increasingly lucid when I dream - particularly in the mornings.


So I know I'm dreaming, and that the situations I'm in are being generated by my own diseased imagination.


Like a spectator in a Hieronymous Bosch landscape, I'm quite frankly scared of the thoughts that cross my mind when asleep compared with the rose tinted spectacles I wear when awake.

This is what happens when you give up the 'mellow' woodbines - that stuff takes ages to leave the system.

Bosch and double-Bosch! His painting are equisite, but I daren't call you lucky. (is daren't even a word?)

Dont know about scared, but am mightily pissed off that the Tories are back in government. 10 years to deal with Stephen Lawrence, and it wasn't easy. All we got was Macpherson and then the 2010 Equality Act which placed a duty on public bodies to have due regard on the impact of policies on disadvantaged groups in reaching a decision. Affirmative Action it is not. Dave gets on tv yesterday and calls equal opportunity 'red tape', which is holding up government. I have to hold my breath again and wait for these bastards to get voted out. The Lib Dems are going to loose a whole generation of voters for this charade.


Scared? Yeas, we walk on the same planet and share the same planet but these dinosaurs cant wait to dismantle the things which are supposed to represent the values of our community in favour of filthy lucre.

Crazy or not it's part of at least one Great American Novel - thar she blows...


"I should like to see him try it; I'd give him such a pair of black eyes that he wouldn't dare to show his face in the admiral's cabin again for a long while, let alone down in the orlop there, where he lives, and hereabouts on the upper decks where he sneaks so much. Damn the devil, Flask; so you suppose I'm afraid of the devil? Who's afraid of him, except the old governor who daresn't catch him and put him in double-darbies, as he deserves, but lets him go about kidnapping people; aye, and signed a bond with him, that all the people the devil kidnapped, he'd roast for him? There's a governor!"

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
