Ah yeah, love the song maaan.. stickin' it to the man - woo! How does it go again?


Feck you I won't tidy me bedroom

Feck you I won't get up before noon

Feck you I won't, like ummm stop mumbling and speak properly


Actually, given the choice, I think I's prefer the X-Fecktor winner, even if they were doing The Frog Chorus.

EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY OF ZACK DE LA ROCHA, LEAD SINGER OF R.A.T.M.


Sunday 13th December


Up early today - for a Sunday! Busy day ahead, mostly raging (against the machine) but gotta get a few chores done too!!


Had Brunch (Eggs Benedict), then raged against the machine for an hour or two. Headed out Christmas Shopping.


6pm - Home. Too tired to rage against the machine tonight, so watching Strictly on Sky+.

What is the point then?



And to be honest, other than 12 year old girls, who really gives a hoot about the charts anyway?

The point is, 'Titch' that if you buy this record, you will in fact be stickin' it to the man, yeah?


The point is that instead of buying some cringeworthy toecurler of a record because X-Factor says you should, you'll be buying some cringeworthy toecurler of a record because Facebook says you should. Ooh, I mean ummm, like, you'll be buying like a totally important record, with uuuummmmmm important stuff to say mmmmmmmmm.


Up yours, Cowell! Woo! D'ja hear where those bleeps are? Those are where the naughty words were. BAD words. Reap the whirlwind, bitch!


Zack? ZACK! Come back here and tidy your bedroom IMMEDIATELY? I beg your pardon? What did you just say?! Don't turn your back on me, young man..

Cowell will doubtless be shivering in his Christmas stockings once wind of this devious campaign to deprive dear Joe of his rightful spot at the top gets out.. as his PR machine revs-up predetermined X-Factor sales way above the expected.


Maybe he started the Facebook campaign?


Interestingly, Sony also owns Cowell's company Syco. Merry Christmas Sony!

I'm hip to this shit man. Even if it only slightly annoys Cowell it's 79p well spent. It was also an Inside 72 classic... usually played on a Wednesday at 7pm back to back with Tom Petty. Pay no attention Brendan - this forum is full of subdued rebels - with Che T shirts yet neutered by comfy jobs in the city, quality butcher meat and sour dough bread.
Anyway I could be wrong but I suppose most teenagers these days don?t even know who RATM were (are? I heard they reformed a few years ago) or have ever heard Killing in the Name. I?m sure they have their own equivalents of adolescent angst. McFly or the Sheilas or something I suppose.

He surely will now. it's a gift.


I suppose it is quite funny when you think about it.


Nearly a million people sign-up to a Facebook group in order to be told to go out and buy a record - the punchline of which is 'not doing what you're told' with the aim of bringing about a return to the glory days of previous Christmas number one chart-toppers.. like Benny Hill, Mr Blobby, Bob The Builder and St Winifred's School Choir.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
