    I've been struggling with this place for a while and unfortunately it's shit like this and/or the reaction to some of our players like MIggy and the subsequent pile on by the mindless few that have given the place a stench that just won't air out.

     

    @spongebob toonpants do you have personal knowledge of this? I don't know if it is true or not. I never met Albini but I know people who have, does that make them fans of kiddy porn? The people I say have nothing but kind words to say about him as do people like Kim Deal or PJ Harvey who I doubt would put up with anyone like the man you are calling out.

     

    A couple of things I do know.

    Albini was regarded as a cunt by many people because in the 80s hardcore scene; people said a lot of offensive shit to wind people up. He did it as a profession, writing for a few of the Zines of the time. Allegedly every second person he knew on the street would call him an asshole because he had no filter.

    That article attributed to him is:

     

    It's unsavoury and as Albini reaslised when he got older:

     

    I have to ask myself would a fan of kiddy porn go to this much trouble - https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2009/dec/09/steve-albini-chicago-secret-santa

     

    You all might be right, he might deserve to rot in hell, especially with the way the weird cunt looked, aye @Ayatollah Hermione?

    But you probably you should know Albini because of his "socialist" ideals has been the target of right winged critics and trolls for a number of years.
    Also you need to know a little more about the author of the piece Joshua Goldberg. Have a good read, you might find some irony.

     

    What's American rightwing like to call those they like to target, oh yeah pedophiles? If Albini was one, then it's good that he is dead.

    But if he wasn't, as seems more likely, well as someone in the comments for spongebob's link put it best:

     

    Just remember what George Washington once said, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

     

    That's probably enough for me.

     

    I'm sorry, sammy, but this sounds like exactly the kind of apologism that protected the likes of Savile for so long, "look at what he did for the kids" and all. In the absolute best case scenario here, you're asking us to defend someone who talked about his appreciation of gross paedophilia because he was doing so "for the lols". It's not much of an argument, is it? I mean, would it really be that tricky, even if you felt like pretending you got off on child rape was a fun thing to do, to maybe, like, not pretend like you got off on child rape? 🤷‍♀️

    Aaaaaand the Dutch currywurst guy has just been disqualified from tonight's show for threatening a crew member. :cuppa:

     

    I wonder if Eurovision HQ are regretting adopting "United By Music" as the permanent slogan for the event now. :lol:

  3. Early indications that Israel walked away with the public vote in tonight's semi-final, which could make Saturday night a rather tasty bit of television... 😬 :lol:

    Elswick has obviously changed since I last lived there :lol:

     

    They elected a Liberal in 1973, they were overdue another outlier :D

     

  5. There is a little bit of local context in Gosforth, insofar as the Tory candidate has been standing for the last few years, actually being properly active between elections too and building up a personal vote, so this was probably only a matter of time.

     

    But also the Lib Dems stood someone with an even more recognisably Asian name than the Tories, and Gosforth is Gosforth. 😬

  6. :lol: I know a lot of councils start counting the next day now because they think it's too much of an imposition to expect volunteers to stay up into the wee small hours, but that's... extreme

    aye.

    mind you, you can't help but feel sorry for the football supporting folk of suffolk too.

    despite being on the cusp of automatic promotion they have to live with the fact that they're actually not as good as sunderland.

    they must be gutted.

     

    There, that's fixed it
