This show is filed under "once you've seen it once...." Genuinely enjoyed one season of this, but have no desire to see more grasping celebs eating kangaroo knackers in desperate attempts to rescue their ailing careers.

Dear sotonjoe. In the event that you ever need to know the definition of "f**king pwned", please refer to trousers' post.

Well done Luke. Sh!t play, haters. Think that covers it.

Nice follow up piece in the New Statesman which covers some of the specific pledges the Tories might have been trying to remove. http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2013/11/pre-election-pledges-tories-are-trying-wipe-internet

"No final ball", my mate would say. He's improved, but not that much.

I've spent a week or so listening to the new album. Musically, the direction can't really be a complete surprise to anyone who heard the Sprawl II. If Arcade Fire wants to do a dance album, Arcade Fire gets to do a dance album. Fair play to them - their eclectic stylings have got to be applauded. Genuinely get the impression that these guys have a lot of respect for all kinds of music. They could do a metal album and people would still recognise it as Arcade Fire. It's a big leap from Funeral's French-Canadian stylings but it's still got all the Arcade Fire hallmarks. Male/female duets, dense sounds, lots of instruments (they're still rather fond of the guitar) and big climaxes. Need to listen to the last half a lot more, but impressions so far are very favourable.

Rory McIllroy looked like a home invader in that first Santander ad he did, and that was presumably their best take. Gotta wonder what they threw out. Perhaps Rory making toilet on the floor and wiping his arse on the curtains?

Back and to the left. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Fl9ZVJ7B8

Well done VW. The UK and US governments searched fruitlessly for proof that Assad was responsible. They didn't find it, so I'm glad you have. Have you telephoned William Hague yet? He'll be thrilled to hear your news.

Not remotely the same thing. Labour aren't trying to get content permanently removed from every nook and cranny on the Internet. Labour would probably love to have some of its more embarrassing statements purged from public Internet record, but it hasn't done so, mostly because it isn't the party in government. Can you imagine the furore if Ed had been caught trying to get things deleted from the Internet Archive? On what grounds could he even attempt that? On the basis that he's the leader of a political party? Hardly. The only reason the Tories thought they could get away with this is because they're the people in charge. I'm not saying Labour have been forever blameless on this issue, but the two cases you make in your mocking comparison aren't the same thing. There is a difference between removing stuff from your own website and trying to get it removed from the entire Internet. Historically, I'd have had you pegged as the sort of character able to make the distinction.

Well, that's the thing. Whitewash would have been my first call, but it'd appear that the report's contents are too spicy for global public consumption. You have to wonder who would come out worse, Blair or Bush.

Considerably more than zero. I'm still intent on taking a backseat on this thread. Has been genuinely interesting to see views without a b!tch-fight in the middle.

He was also Foreign Secretary at the time of Diana's death. Could have potentially known a lot about those events.

The Chilcot report has a million words, is years overdue and has cost millions to produce. Yet the report into why and how Britain got into Iraq may never see the light of day in a useful form. Teeny excerpt from this Indy article:- Source:- http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/exclusive-us-blocks-publication-of-chilcots-report-on-how-britain-went-to-war-with-iraq-8937772.html Who's running this country, exactly?

Colour me amazed. Verbal spews forth with a cultural reference from the last decade. Good skills.

It was that mighty champion of human rights, Computer Weekly, that broke the story. The New Statesman put it into context succinctly though. You should watch Keith Allen's film on the Diana Inquiry. That gives a very good indication as to how the press works.

What are your feelings on Robin Cook? Legit?

Have you ever read 1984? Changing the public record is the main character's day job. This isn't in the same league; it's deletion, not alteration and not quite as chilling. Another case of say one thing, do another, made all the worse because they're almost certainly using state power to address party political issues.

I think the real problem for Dave and pals is that they tried very hard to be portrayed as nice, whereas the actual practice of governing has shown them up to be bandit c**ts intent on selling everything they failed to sell last time around, including the NHS. The only reason to remove all of this is so they don't have to be held accountable for it.

It's free to a good home. I'd wash it first, like.

The Tories are attempting to purge all pre-2010 election pledges and statements from the Internet, according to this piece by the New Statesman. http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2013/11/tories-attempt-delete-all-pre-2010-speeches-internet Computer Weekly originally tumbled onto the scam, but the NS article does a damn good job of putting the action in a political context, enumerating Cameron's ongoing hypocrisy on the issue. They're even trying to get content removed from the Internet Archive. I guess if you can't stand by your "convictions", pretending you never had them might be just as good.

The Guinness is yet more bric-a-brac, Tokes.

Well, as I said - it belongs to a previous occupant of this house. F**k knows what used to go on in this gaff. The male chastity device is not the only questionable item we uncovered. Had the letting agent around last week and whipped it out. She went ashen-white, and we got a quick email from the landlord telling us we could bung anything out from the garage that we fancied getting rid of. Don't know why we still have it, tbh.
