The Absolutely Nothing has gone from ebay. Presumably it went the way of the man who sold his soul there, or the one who offered his virginity - removed by management for not being serious enough.

Text from Simon M - "Help!". Which here means "I've forgotten my password! Help!". While waiting for NTL to answer his phone, I finally had the chance to skim through Johnathan Porritt's article on "Why Capitalism Can Save The World".
Most of it just proves again that there is environmental distruction and greed is responsible, but his argument looks like this:
(1) If all the corporations in the world could be persuaded to simultainiously adopt clean and renewable energy sources
(2) and manufacturing were shifted from profitable production of rapid-obselence necessities and fashoion-driven fripperies to durable necessities
(3) and the culture of the consuming world changed to suit
(4) and all companies refrained from profitable cheating
...then industry driven by "sustainable capitalism" won't destroy the planet. Nor will it be driven by competition. In effect he wants competing corporations to behave as though they were part of a socialist collective.
It looks like Mr Porrit ("Britain's Leading Environmentalist") doesn't grasp what capitalism is.

Channel 4 are reshowing Nathan Barley over this week. I hated episode 1 and didn't watch the rest, but I'm recording it this time round. If nothing else to go with The Day Today, Brass Eye and Jam. I like completeness.

What's it called when you write music to go with a song, only to find it doesn't fit at all, but it's good music, and now you have to find a song to go with it?

ReplyDeleteIt's called luck (of a sort) Though how you can write music to lyrics and not have them fit is quite beyond my weak mind's comprehensional abilitys. Though I can spell certainly! Grrr ;)
PS your word verification is getting longer. Is this a hint?
