<r>In Czechoslovakia, they had a velvet revolution. In Ukraine, they had an orange revolution. In Britain, we need something similar, with a new party to vote for, that will bring back some common sense and freedom for the law abiding citizens of this country. There...

<t>I like some of the Monty Python sketches. I would take out all the blasphemous bits (the films are the worst for that) and then it would be good viewing for me. I don't like the playing music on hamsters (or whatever they were) sketch. My favourites include: The parrot sketch; the sket...

<t>I only like the idea of wind farms in the sea, probably built on the top of old oil rigs or something similar. They don't produce enough power to have them scattered all over the countryside apparently just to please the green lobby (although I'm not against the green lobby pressing their case in...

When the virtual tea room opens up again, I'll have to see what speciality teas there are on offer. I fancy a Darjeeling with lemon. Those seats sound good. I heard all about it on the internet grapevine.

That's a good joke. The punch line is great: "show me that map again."

<t>I remember going to the barbers for a Beatles haircut and I had a Beatles poster on my bedroom wall. We used to have some of their singles on the Parlophone label such as "Help" and "A hard day's night". I wish that my father hadn't sold them, or whatever he did with them, in the 1980s or 90s.<br...

<t>There are also other types of music that I used to listen to regularly, and that I was addicted to, that I don't listen to much, if at all, for some reason: Tangerine Dream; Kluster; Cluster; Iannis Xenakis; Can; The Muffins; Megadeth; Richard Strauss; Richard Wagner; Morton Subotnick;...

<t>Even if there was only one grizzly bear left in the whole world, there would be a hunter somewhere who would have no hesitation in shooting it dead and using it as a trophy.

<t>It looks to me as though the breakdown of society in the United States is as bad as it is here in Britain. This sort of violence would never have happened when I was growing up in the 1960s and early 70s. Six months imprisonment is too light for this offence for a start. Five years wo...

<t>In the 1980s, I was a fan of the music of Pere Ubu; MX-80 Sound and Chrome. I used to have some of their music on vinyl in those days, but not now. I recently heard some of Pere Ubu and I couldn't really get on with it. I didn't hate it, but it just seemed so strange. The other two ban...

<t>My uncle used to smoke St Julian tobacco. This was the best quality tobacco which my uncle would roll onto a cigarette paper and then smoke it, of course. About seven years ago, it disappeared from the market and there has been nothing heard of it ever since. Does anybody know why they...

I always choose bitter beer pulled by a hand pump. This is what we in Britain call real ale. Two of my favourites are London Pride and Bombadier.

<t>I say keep the cross where it is. It is like a senotaph to the veterans of the Korean War who would have been mostly nominal Christians anyway even if they weren't true believers. If the atheist wants a memorial to represent his beliefs, it would have to be just thin air, or a big vacuum flask, b...

<t>Not only that, but what about all those other foreign criminals who should have been deported after they had served their short and easy prison sentences. This included murderers; rapists; paedophiles and drug pushers. Now they are free to wander around Britain doing as they wish. It wouldn't be ...

This is a very difficult question to answer because there are many that come close to being the best. I will choose King Crimson's "Starless and Bible Black".

I am currently listening to SOFT MACHINE volume one.

I am listening to an old cassette recording of it taken from vinyl. The trouble with the CD is that it has been re-mastered with far too much bass.
