OnPoint: Sock-Puppeting Big Tobacco to…, in reply to BenWilson,
As above, so below...
I think you’re asking this in good faith, but I just don’t really feel like answering it, because it’s not especially relevant to the argument at hand.

Proof that time is mutable
Sacha, in reply to Joe Wylie,
About 12 hours agowhich was actually 13.02 Sept 7 - ie about ten minutes ago !! So I'm just wondering why the auto-assessment of when things were posted is half a day out of whack?

Discos with diss...
I remember there used to be the odd altercation between punks and discoers outside places like The Liberty Stage (bands upstairs and disco downstairs)... -
