exactly - hence an unprecedented level of interest across the globe! check out this mini-site a mate of mine (also from ldn) made: http://flagofyourchoice.com

if we (sorry, you ;) ) can't beat him, it will be because people who should know better stay home on election day because 'they're all the same'. or they stole an election....which isn't unheard of... yeah you're right, this is obviously a pretty major concern, to put it mildly. i think someone men...

whao! i forget how much people get fired up by stuff like this! so does anyone think it has damaged the chances of a democratic win then? (all this drawing out of the primaries i mean, not the sex / race cards involved) i don't think it has damaged democratic chances. hillary has been argumentative...

If democrat or republican is in office fu*ked up things are going to happen anyway. around 7,500 troops died in combat while Clinton was in office and only a thousand more have died under Bush. So you are telling me that democrats will do a better job ? that's a pretty trite way of comparing the tw...

first addressing what sio2 said, which you hear all the time among cynical people in this country that both parties are basically the same thing and that your vote doesn't matter: haven't the last 8 years of republican rule demonstrated beyond any doubt that it does matter and there is a difference...

lol nah mate, i was always more of a paul simonon man myself

im interested to know what you think Dan having been so close to it, do you think Obama actually has any substance? whether he could deliver change given the compromise inherent in political process as President is one thing, but do you think he has any real backbone, any real beliefs he strives fo...

50 % of the American people don't vote because it aint the people that decide who is voted in office. Its the Super-deligates like the mayors, governers and senators that actually decide who gets voted in as president. the turn-out in 2004 was technically 55%, so it's 45% who didn't vote - which is...

was that 'live music from Plug' plug = luke vibert?? hah no it was the recently formed two-girl drums-and-guitar-and-amazing-vocals group Plug. they rocked, as did everyone else i might add, all the bands and djs. tonight we went and got interviewed at bbc radio five live about our book, and before...

triky wrote:@ mos dan. i also like paperclip man. i like the action option

innit, i really dread to think how long i've spent procrastinating when i shd be working, by doing 'right-click' 'Activate!' just so i can watch a cartoon dog post a letter or something

i would add microsoft word, just for being completely bewildering and counter-intuitive at times. esp if it's anything to do with layout, it goes completely bonkers.

i do rather like the paperclip/dog/einstein function that everyone else in the world seems to despise tho.

i really hope this primary bullshit is over after tonight. did anyone catch Recount on HBO? good movie, but made about 4 years too late. we didn't get it over here in blighty, but my housemate, political geek that he is, torrented it - said he'd rarely watched anything so depressing. like you say, ...

not workin here geez yeah that's a weird one, we couldn't work out why it was being erratic, cos it's not like we were using much bandwidth at all.. anyway it seems to be okay now, maybe it was just hibernating cos we didn't use it so much for a month or so. so here's the important thing: on the da...

Wow, I had to sift through a lot to bump this, but still here's what happened: my artist friend Tom and I spent 9,000 miles and seven weeks following the US Presidential Election on the ground, road-tripping through 24 states of the union, hanging out with scores of real Americans, as well as POWs, ...

anyone know set times? can't really decide when to turn up or how packed it'll be..

anyone go to this? match report?

happy birthday! and big up whistla for all your hard work

Public Enemy were simply amazing. Played the entire It Takes A Nation Of Millions and a few others numbers and blew pretty much everyone away. Chuck D and Flavor Flav had the most fun of everyone in the building by the looks of it. they were so into it weren't they - haven't seen a crowd that up fo...

my vote's with the old skool too hatcha, if yr still deciding

classic vibes for a historic occasion, then move on like docdoom says.
