I Intend To Escape ......................And Come Back

Why The Adverts?

You can't have failed to notice that this blog is now taking Google Ads.

Whilst not exactly a sell out on the scale of Dylan going electric or Bill Hicks giving up smoking, please feel free to abuse my grovelling to corporate capitalism!

New Pictures

I have stacks of good photographs I have yet to add to the site.

Recent aditions that have gone on include some from rural Cheshire, and graffiti pictures from the old railway line between Finsbury Park and Highgate.

Tinkering With The Pictures

I have been meaning to add some new pictures to the various albums on this site for some time, and have finally got round to doing so.

You can check them out lower down the page.

I should stress that no one in Class War is responsible for the graffiti naming George Galloway as Hitler by the way. Yes they are both vain, egotistical reactionaries with moustaches, constantly looking eastwards, but there the similarity ends!

What No Posts?

Apologies for the weeks absence.

I have been laughing so hard at the Archbishop of Canterbury's views on Sharia Law, I have been unable to post. Well done Beardie - I always knew you must be good for something!

Rowan Williams: At Least The Nun's Are Still Speaking To Him!

Some New Photographs

I have rather neglected my photography this year.

Perhaps in recognition of this, I have added a few photos to the site this week. As usual the Hackney pictures concentrate on what we are losing, not gaining, from all the change that is occurring locally. My London pictures are perhaps a tad more optimistic - the magnificent development of St Pancras train station.

One step forwards, two steps back?

Normal Service Will Now Be Resumed

If you have been wondering why posts have been so occasional over the past two weeks, I have had a few IT problems.

The gremlins have now been slayed, and it is back to business as usual.

The Term "Football Club"

In every interview I have heard Sammy Lee give since he became Bolton manager, he has used the term "Bolton Wanderers Football Club".

Why do some football managers do this?

Does Sammy Lee fear we might catch a snippett of his interview and mistakenly assume he was talking about Bolton Wanderers Dry Cleaners, or Bolton Wanderers Chinese Take Away?

Why the long-winded pomposity?

It's A Bit Quiet Here?

No posts for the past week - a few technical problems meant I could not get on-line.

Normal service will now be resumed!

The Decline Of The Great English Pub

Well, we can blame Wetherspoons, the rise of drug culture, demographics - but I blame the brewers for giving their pubs such stupid names.

Who wants to drink in a pub called the Belinda Castle? Or the Fawcett & Firkin?

Below I list some sensible pub names, which I suggest could be adopted nationwide. If you can think of anymore, do send them in!

The Legless Arms
The Randy Panda
The Sir Salman Rushdie (Curry night cancelled until further notice)
The Cheeky Monkey
The Man After Midnight
The Bent Coppers Arms
The Shy Australian (I know its pushing it, but it would be nice)
The Ex-Temperants Arms
The Curse of the Working Classes
The Robbers Dog

and best of all

The Prosthetic Arms

Not Much Action Here Is There?

Apologies for the lack of posts on this site over the past few weeks.

I have been on my summer hols, and as I don't really believe in sitting about in Internet cafes whilst actually on holiday, things have been rather neglected.

Normal service will now resume!
