I can't wholly subscribe to that view, I mean to say, punk wasn't there at 1759, it never really kicked off till about 1976, which is a good hour and three quarters later, plus which, you wouldn't be able to have 1976 anyway, any self respecting clock would show that as "14 minutes past 8", or thereabouts. No wonder the credit crunch is taking such a heavy toll on this formerly robust thread, when its supposedly leading lights and that, seem to have no better a grasp of basic mathermatics than a junior whatnot, or whatever they're called.

I blame europe, for instance, around the afore mentioned era of 1976, if you asked for help or what ever, the standard answer would be " give us a sec " and at least one knew where one stood. it seems the yoof of today require far longer, ie give us two mins, or to compound the confusion further " i'll be there in a bit" in a bit! what in the name of all things punk, or more to the point, how long is a bit? Its no ruddy wonder this country is going to the dogs with that sort of shinanigans. And what with the messing of our time peices twice a year, its no wonder we are in trouble.

I believe a bit is a tad more than a little, but a shred less than loads. Either way, it's a smidge away from a touch.
I'd believe the 40odd thousand deaths if the report was not referring to the US Highway System, but rather The Highway in Basildon.
I can't think of any pub rougher than that establishment around '77-80. a Somme-like 40,000 dead would have been a good night.

I do apologise. History and Maths were my 3 worst subjects at school. I was referring to an article I read in Punk magazine in 1975. It was a long time ago so some of the facts may have got a bit more interesting over the years.

I couldn't agree more. As this thread appears to have died on its anus, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all an anarchic christmas and a vacant new year.
God save the Queen!

It has gone a bit quiet. I blame the Olympics, and general summer holidays and vacations. Which reminds me - you guys have a bank holiday today, while I go to work. How can that be fair then...

Terrific!!...I spend about an hour pointing out that Joni Mitchell, at the arse end of the sixties, said something along the lines of "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you got till it's gone", and drawing the likes of "Firestorm", "Alfvanvicdabyaz", and Sue out the Vandals, into my scheme, and the poxy computer deleted it all, fair play to Rickxprey, though at least that young hound of hell bungs a post on now and then, and does his bit, as one might put it,

What I mean is, in years to come, you'll all be talking to your grandkids and what have you, and saying "Yes, events like 9-11, and lady Di copping it, all happened within the golden age of "huh", when Anabdab was it hisw funniest, and Micvicdab was just about as comical as its possible to be" "Of course, in those days, they had the likes of "Rickxprey", and blighters like that, to back them up, should their shenanigans fall short of the what'd'ya call it.
These days, of course, since the demise of Anabdab, and to a lesser extent, Micvicdab, one relys on Billyb and Purplenasty77, on the alcohol thread, who do their best, but its not the same,,,, Bring back "huh" I say!

Funny posts eh? Well, I can tie a lot of the recent posts together in a not-funny way.. That Joni Mitchell song was written about Vancouver, where we've just got On The Buses repeated on TV, and there was a big old bus at the end of the Olympics. Presumably to bring the athletes home. Was Cliff Richard driving?
All right, it's not at all funny.
But I tell you what, I heard Adam Ant's Dirk Wears White Sox album today. Blimey, he was rubbish. Dicsuss.

He was good at running, that Lasse Viren, the geezer what won the 5000 and the 10 000 a while back. But if you would have asked him to play bass in an early incarnation of "Subway sect", it would probarbly have exposed him as something of a chump. Mind you, being good at running, is a thing anyone should be proud of, and with the best will in the world, probarbly better than being in "Subway sect", I would imagine.

I don't care what Adam Ants Dirk wears, entirely his own business. But while we're gossiping, I hear the poor old chump's as mad as a flea these days. Calls himself Gordon and goes around threatening people in pubs.
Daktari on the other hand is a kindly old soul who hangs around with a cross eyed lion called Clarence. Perfectly normal behaviour. I was just saying to my mate Harvey, the giant invisible rabbit........oh, there it goes again.......the plot, I mean....completely vanished.
