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.

    • Which has, unfortunately, closed. Au Ciel is much better than Gail's. Big bakery in the parade of shops near Rocca in Dulwich Village with all the seats outside - you can't miss it. Normally a big queue outside at weekends with walkers and cyclists topping up on carbs and coffee!
    • Hi, just to say there was an attempted car theft at the FH end of Underhill over Friday night. Without wanting to go into all the detail, they were pretty adamant and took a great deal of time to (try) take the car. The police came within minutes, and drove around etc.. The police said the car was in demand at the moment. I don’t know if that was brand or model. notwithstanding what the police said, all car owners should be vigilant and neighbours. These thieves were interrupted twice by neighbours, but the thieves came back etc and the neighbours didn’t put 2+2 together as to what was happening to the car. The thieves were two guys, on the cctv it looked like they were wearing grey, but it may have been black (cctv can look odd at night). My neighbours said they were black. They had a bag with them, no doubt carrying tools and they may have been dropped off by a car, that is being investigated.  Take care!!
    • Chain of cafe.. upmarket. One in village.. Been there for at least 3 years. On same side of street as detached houses, one which usually opens her garden for charity. No not burgers, sarnies and cakes, coffee, bread.. eat in or take away..  Further down from pub, same side and between pub and Dulwich Picture Gallery…
    • Hi I think Southwark owns the land I have just seen signs going up regarding 10mins waiting time but not easy to see and I would say very hard to see in the dark but no signs with a camera regs Andy
