I also have loads to say about goth and Type O Negative, but it's late and I have a cold, and I'm tired. I just needed to vent the above before I explode in a mixture of green snot and frustration/excitement. Please don't try to picture that in your head.
Just to add something to this thread, I've been going through all of my old stuff recently, from A to Z, and so far I've only got down to the lower A's. This stood out because it's just so amazingly brilliant.
Noid would approve. And I'm not even down to Autechre yet.
[Edit again]
Love. Yeah. It was a very unexpected thing. I live in a very faraway country, over 1000 miles from home, and to my surprise, for 16 years someone from my home country -and- region have lived just literally around the corner, less than 3 minutes away. We bumped into each other by accident. It feels very weird to speak my home language again, and talk about places we both know, and hear how her weird northern accent matches mine. My age, my country, my home, my region, my accent, my... everything. Literally there, I can even see her house from across the yard. Life is weird. Hours and hours and hours of talking in a language I've not used for 12 years, and in an accent I've not used for 30. And that's not even the weirdest thing, but the rest isn't suitable for a family audience, so just insert a Disney animation of happy bouncing bunnies instead. Let's just say there were a lot of coincidences on a completely implausible scale. I would never believe it if someone told me.

I never got Autechre. I tried but it was too much like rubbing your hand on a taut balloon.
Anyway here is one of my favs from years back I haven't posted-
And here is a more recent one of theirs-
That voice.
Oh and I'm pretty sure I did tell you, Gray.
these guys are great like ELO and Abba had an illegitimate child with Black Sabbath.
also how in the hell did we miss out these guys?
Some takes a little bit more patience. And about a bottle of vodka to numb your senses. And probably earplugs.
Yeah, I've mentioned it before, and every time I post, I can't stop myself from mentioning it again. I've got a ticket for 242!
Yes, yes, I know, they're old farts by now, remnants of the 1980s, but so am I. I'm nearly 50, and most of them are just over 60, so they're sort of pushing that Rolling Stones cliché I so did not want them to become 20 years ago, but now that I'm old, I don't care anymore. Young people can mock me, as they should, and I will promptly tell them how all their music is just whiny bland shit. Battle of the generations. That is not just a sarcastic comment, I hear very little anger in modern music, where there is so much need for it now. Young people of today, rise up and make noise, not just bland R&B X-Factor Pop Idol The Voice tedious pointless nonsense! Shout! Be angry! Be angrier! Your generation is fucked because mine fucked up your world! Shout about it! Go all Greta Thunberg on us with noise! Do it now!
My point was this. I've got a ticket. I'm old. They're old. But, even so, as I play this live show with poor sound recorded in my home country only a few months ago, it only took me two minutes to make me jump out of my bloody seat, old fat bastard that I am. Halfway through it now and I'm still headbanging. Even if we're just old farts, there's still some bloody energy in it. Now that's quite unusual.

Yeah. Still don't get Autechre. Foxy Shazam is both kitschy and fun though.
Here is another Skunk Anansie I like. It's a great big monster fuck you song and will never see radio play. Enjoy fuckers.
Skunk Anansie's vocalist up there has the thinnest wail. It's almost endearing when it's not annoying.
There's at least a little right with the world when a heavy metal band decides to do punk, and nails it so hard it's like the 70s swung right back around.
Sorry, Tocky, I completely ignored you as usual and just went rambling on about whatever nonsense I needed to vent. I do like Skunk Anansie to the point that I very nearly went to see them when they played here last year, but too much other stuff was happening at the time. I love the voice of Skin, she can believably project both anger and vulnerability.
And, as a side note, when I discovered them back in the day, I found it mildly amusing how similar we looked, with our shaved heads and cargo pants jumping around like idiots. I still look the same, only wrinklier and fatter, because I despise fashion and I refuse to change.
However, this was the correct observation-
Also I heard a very heavy Pink Floyd influence in some 242. Check out around 42:00 on and tell me "Run Like Hell" isn't in that. Then again, Floyd planted the seeds of industrial.
Hehe, I'm actually quite slim, only about the same 6-7 kilos overweight I've been for the last 20 years (that's a "stone" to UK people). It just sounds so much better when I'm trying to point out to younger people that I'm old, fat and slow. Even though I'm just, technically, old and slow. But I need three words to hammer home how pointless I am.
And bald. I usually say "old fat bald bastard", just to point out that I'm out of touch and should not be listened to. But old TTLG:ers might remember I've been shaving my head since 1993, so I don't even know if I've developed male pattern baldness yet. What I do know is that I can still grow out a fringe if I wanted to, but that would look ridiculous on its own.
Also, my parents were married, so I'm not technically a bastard either. So, um, yeah, I exaggerate a lot to make myself look worse. Much of which is sarcasm to make you take me less seriously. Says the big old fat bald bastard. Well, at least I'm actually quite tall. If you'd call 6ft tall.
Yes, of course there's a Pink Floyd reference in 242, it's what they were trying to escape from, but also grew up with. Some chords are even the same, except it's much shorter, angrier, louder and shoutier. The whole point of EBM was to -not- refer to old American blues/rock roots, but come up with something new and European, but old influences would bleed in and some artists would either be better than others at hiding it, or completely disassociating them from it. But even Kraftwerk was influenced by James Brown and the Ramones. And Wagner. And Bach.
Again with the fatness. I met up with Daxim in Berlin in, oh, 2002? He was very slim and athletic at the time, quite buff, even. Last year, we met up again. I wore the same clothes. He, um, I'm trying to find a way to phrase this in a way that won't piss him off more than necessary. Let's just say there was twice the Daxim to love. I guess that my point is, that by contrast, as a man pushing 50, I've remained the same miserable grumpy old bastard for the last 30 years, same poor fashion sense, same grumpy attitude, same weight, and same stupid hairstyle (give or take a few exceptions when I grew a ponytail from zero and then shaved it clean off again). I think what I'm getting at it that I'm tediously boring. I make jokes about me being fat, but I'm not really. Much. I'm just a sarcastic arsehole, and that probably won't ever change either.

I've always loved this song, but it's taken on a whole new meaning to me recently. I won't elaborate, apart from saying it was very memorable and surprising. I now associate it with something quite different than I used to. You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Fleshquartet, Nåid, Stakka Bo and Titiyo
Fleshquartet, aka Fläskkvartetten was a punk string quartet, undeniably the rockiest cellos you'd ever see. Is that a dist guitar solo I hear? No, it's a cello. The name "Fläskkvartetten" was a joke, referring to the classical string quartet Freskkvartetten. But with more fläsk.
Nåid was Martin Landquist, who made two really awesome techno/house/pop albums and also produced some brilliant artists like Mine and The Cardigans.
Stakka Bo was the stage name of Johan Renck, now more famous as a director of Chernobyl.
Titiyo Jah was a soul/pop singer, half sister of Neneh Cherry.
I don't like many soft songs. This one I love.
To reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus, people are urged to wash their hands more often and for longer. Fair enough, that's always a good idea, it'd reduce the spread of your average cold virus and others as well. However, to make sure you wash your hands for 20 seconds, they suggest you hum "Happy Birthday" twice while you do it, that'll be roughly 20 seconds. But imagine the scene, you're standing in a public restroom, alone, washing your hands and singing "Happy Birthday" to yourself, it seems pathetically sad (as pointed out on The Last Leg last week). Boris suggested you sing the national anthem, but he's a complete moron and anything he says should be ignored. So is there a better song? I can think of at least one.
They Might Be Giants: Fingertips (segment 19/21, "I'm having a heart attack"):
Fair enough, it might not work for you, but I seriously intend to use it. What are you washing? Fingertips! What could be an unpleasant outcome of catching the virus? Death! (Well, not exactly a heart attack, but close enough.) And I've listened to this song for over 25 years, I know it impossibly well.
If you'd rather go with a different 20 second song, fine, feel free to suggest one, but this one works for a TMBG-nerd like me.
I'm not saying that they are even vaguely aware of that I posted the above, but 90 minutes later they did the same thing on this week's The Last Leg - asking for suggestions on twitter of other songs to hum while washing your hands. I did not send them this one though, because A) I don't think they'd find it even half as funny as I did, and B) I'm not on twitter. But yeah, I'm not saying I had a unique thought and they clearly copied me, quite the opposite, it's such an obvious idea to have if you don't want to sing Happy Birthday to yourself.

Go Go Machine Orchestra is a new favourite from KEXP.
Purple Hash:
Union Works:
Morse Code:
Bits Steve Reich, bits Mike Oldfield, bits Bugge Wesseltoft, bits something else. Sort of "experimental easy listening" (if I may call it that) with probably a couple of odd time signatures and shifting patterns paired with some electronic and rock influences etc...
I was also going to write something about Fläskkvartetten, because Gray mentioned them... uhm... oh, yeah, it happened that Swedish choreographer Mats Ek employed them for his performances. My favourite piece is from Apartment (and the dance performance itself icke att förglömma):

With all the metal cats above, I feel the need to give the metal dogs some love.
For their last album, Alestorm decided (in typical Alestorm fashion) to do an entire second version of the album but with the vocals replaced by a cheap dog barking keyboard sound, also adding "for dogs" to the end of every song title. The result is a masterpiece.

What a weekend, eh? The Royal Wedding dominated our social media timelines, and newspaper column inches. It goes without saying that Meghan Markle looked stunning, enchanting the world with a classic, timeless style aptly demonstrated via her Givenchy gown, understated makeup and low chignon bun. But you know who else set our timelines ablaze with her inimitable style? Our girl Serena Williams. The sporting icon's wedding guest outfit IG post has been liked over 1 million times. Dressed in a blush pink curve-hugging dress with matching fascinator, complemented by nude makeup and bum-skimming Lemonade braids, we were delighted to learn that our favourite glam squad makeup artist Pauline Briscoe, and hairstylist Lorraine Dublin were behind the look. We caught up with Lorraine to learn how she created Serena's internet- breaking braids!
Lorraine Dublin, celebrity hairstylist
We started working on Serena's hair from Friday. We removed her previous braids and gave her natural hair a cleanse and a treatment. I used Affirm's Scalp Therapy Shampoo, which is great for cooling and treating the scalp, followed by AffirmCare Scalp Therapy Treatment Conditioner. After cleansing, I applied Keracare Essential Oils and Oil Moisturizer to soften the hair, and lightly blowdried hair, using KeraCare Silken Seal as a heat protectant, and massaged the scalp with AffirmCare Scalp Therapy Scalp Relief Oil. Once the hair was prepped it was time to start braiding. Canerows were applied to the crown, and using Xpressions hair extensions for braiding (I didn't cut the hair at all, and added extra hair to each section for length), my assistant Brenda and I started applying lengthy individual double stranded twists. This whole process took around 5 hours, but would probably take around 7 if there's only one hairstylist installing. Once completed, we spritzed hair with KeraCare Thermal Wonder 6 in 1 Thermal Protector for shine.

December 7, 2014
Welcome back to another episode of Speaker's Corner, in which patrons of our coffee shop, You Are Here Cafe, step into the cafe's video booth and talk for a couple of minutes about what's on their mind.
This week we posted a question up by the camera and had different responses to it: what does Fall mean to you. Winter came upon Korea so quickly! It was a beautiful autumn in Korea, probably the best I've seen in all our seven years in Korea. Even though we had a couple of days of cold, it was pretty much a perfect temperature everyday for a month. The leaves had a chance to go through all the colour changes of the autumn rainbow and we actually had days where the wind would blow and Ginko leaves would ripple in the sky off of trees like a scene out of a movie. Seriously we tried to record it a million times but the wind is very uncooperative when it comes to being caught on camera. Even though autumn in my favourite time of year, I was surprised to discover that the fall time is considered to be a depressing time period in Korea. Isn't that crazy??!!! It's so beautiful and colourful but from the Korean perspective all the plants are dying, the leaves are falling to death, the year is ending and getting colder…it isn't a positive time of year.
It's such a depressing time of year for Korean people, that sad ballads rocket to the top of the charts because of people's sad feels. I was talking to my friends Nic and Hugh, and Hugh (who is Korean) said that his Instagram feed was filled with pictures of his friend's shoes standing on fallen leaves with captions about "how sad they were to be single and alone with the death of nature all around them"…but my friends were like "look at the pretty leaves! WAHHH!!!!!" Such a different perspective! I think it's amazing that different cultures can have such different perspectives on one simple season. Another crazy holiday time period is Christmas time in Korea. It's considered to be a couple holiday very similar to Valentine's day while in Canada/USA Christmas is a very big family holiday. In fact, Christmas time is almost like the Korean holiday of Chuseok, where everyone is hanging out with their families and preparing and eating so much food they can't move afterwards. Hmm..sounds a lot like Christmas! In fact, Chuseok is a religious holiday for some families which is the same thing for Christmas, so I think those two holidays are quite similar.
Sooooo long story short, that's why we put that question in the video booth. You might have wondered why we asked such a simple question, so that's why! So how is the autumn in your country perceived? Do you have a change of colour in nature? I know a lot of parts of the world barely have a temperature change, so maybe the autumn time isn't such a big deal for you? Let us know in the comment section below!

Once inside the house of Adibou, the player also has several activities. He can make cakes with Kicook, watch TV containing two songs and other short clips, play the construction game, listen to Radio Adibou, play the game of masks, and play Bricks. If the player is celebrating his birthday or it is Christmas, 2 CDs to listen to appear at the foot of the television. It can also play additional discs, and can also check its progress (menu discs, and progress tree).

Named after They Might Be Giant's two Johns…this award goes to the band with the combination of most original sound and the most effective approach to gettting its name out there and building a relationship with indie fans–otherwise known as Public Relations. TMBG revolutionized going against the grain, bucking the notion that you have to be signed by a major label to build a fan base. From "Dial-a-Song" to following fans lifestyle change and breaking into the kiddie music market.
Ok–enough of the explanation. The first Brooklyn Ambassadors award goes to…
Band of Horses
Ok…so there's nothing extravagant about this…it's pretty simple. Not only has Band of Horses gotten its sound out there with commercial gigs and other of the usual indie outlets, the band has offered its BEST songs for free download. Funeral. No One's Going to Love you. The Great Salt Lake. They offered their very best. Most bands offer a paltry slice of what their tunes…Band of Horses let's you have the best. I expect great things from this band.

*this post contains products that were gifted to me in PR for modelling purposes. All opinions are my own as always.
In this post, I'm going to be sharing the top products and top tips to create the perfect summer glowing make up look.
I always think that great make up starts with good skin care and my favourite products for creating glowing skin are definitely:
- Pixi Glow Tonic
- Mario Badescu Rose Spray
- The Ordinary Peeling Solution
Liquid Highlighter
This works as a great base to apply before your foundation to create a glowing and healthy looking complexion. Sometimes I use it like a primer and sometimes I use it by mixing it in with my foundation. I used the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Skin Frost for this look underneath my foundation to create a glowing base. I then put on some revolution full coverage foundation on the areas that needed concealing and then I used the stick foundation everywhere else.
Gold Hues
Gold is the epitome of summer so it seemed only fitting to add some into this look. On my eyes, I patted on some gold eyeshadow from the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Thirsty Palette in shade filthy rich.
For summer looks, I always go mad on the bronzer! I love to look tanned in summer so for this look I actually used two different bronzers. Firstly, I used the Benefit Hoola Bronzer to contour out my cheeks and forehead and jaw line. Then, I went over the top with a large fan brush with the Rimmel London Bronzer for a more natural appeal.
Anyone that knows me, will know that I LOVE Highlighter. I can't go a day without it and I really think that less is more is a lie when it comes to Highlighter. More more more! I used the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Skin Frost in Summer Snowcone and also the Revolution Highlighter in Golden Lights.
Faux Freckles
I have always been envious of those with freckles! I just think they're so so beautiful! I added some faux ones to my face for this look using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. I pressed the pencil into my skin and spinned the end a little to create a more natural look and not perfect circles – to ensure they appear more natural.
A Killer Lip
The lipstick I have worn for this is from Antipodes in the shade ' South Pacific Coral.' This shade is perfect for summer due to its coral hues and glossy finish. Antipodes is an organic, unique brand that uses sustainable ingredients to create their products.

RETAIL: Retail Trends Report for Q3 2010
Recent Gauteng Business News
SAPOA (South African Property Owners Association) and IPD (Investment Property Databank) Retail Trends Report Q3 2010
The biggest retail winners out of the trading stemming from the FIFA World Cup in Q2 and Q3 of 2010 were super regional shopping centres and community centres, according to the latest figures from the IPD Retail Performance Benchmarking Service.
Large, high profile shopping centres were able to attract customers through their central location in tourist hubs and their marketing campaigns, while smaller centres also posted solid increases particularly in department store sales, specialty shops and jewellery. Of course, not all of the uplift can be attributed to soccer-related tourism effects. The sales growth trends reported by StatsSA show the months of Trading densities in the June quarter of 2010 were up on the same quarter of the previous year for all shopping centre types, although for regional shopping centres and small regional shopping centres the increases were only 1.3% and 1.4% respectively, both well below the rate of inflation over the same period.
Small regional shopping centres picked up a bit in Q3 with a 6.8% increase over the previous year, although regional growth remained muted in Q3 with only a 1.0% increase. Quarterly trading for super regional centres increased 6.6% in June and 8.7% in September, compared to the respective quarters of 2009. This is a welcome return to trend after the noticeable dip in sales in 2009. Community centres posted a staggering 28.4% Q2 increase over 2009 and a more typical 7.0% increase for Q3. These smaller centres have experienced stellar trading figures for the first three quarters of 2010, in each case at levels directly June and July with standout growth over the previous year, however this is solidly supported by steady growth in the remaining months of the year.
In all cases, the combined average trading density of Q2 and Q3 for 2010 was the highest on record. For super regional and small regional shopping centres this peak reversed a dip in the trend from 2009, while for regional and community centres it merely continued the upwards trend.

Batman: Arkham Origins UK Collector's Edition Revealed 0
The New Batman: Arkham Origins collector's edition has been announced for the UK, and it looks like the kind of stuff that will make North American and Japanese gamers wish they lived in a different country. For starters, there's a 12″ Batman and Joker statue. Then you also have a metal game case, an 80 page art book, and what's that? The game itself? Sweet. The collector's edition set also comes with the Deathstroke Challenge Pack, and a "1st appearance" Batman skin. You can check out all the sweet loot below:
That's the Xbox 360 version, by the way. The PS3 version will also add the Knightfall pack. This time, PC players are left out, as there's no collector's edition for the PC port. Wii U owners are worse, since their port won't even have multiplayer.
The Batman: Arkham Origins collector's edition will be sold exclusively through Amazon UK for £80, due out on the same launch as the regular versions on October 25.

Samsung Electronics America has sent out "Save the date" notes to the press that they will be announcing a new Galaxy device on August 15. They kept the note all mysterious and offered no info on the device, but the words "major announcement and unveiling of the newest GALAXY device" are enough to draw plenty of interest on their own.
So, what it might be? The Samsung Galaxy Note II has been going around the rumor mill for a while now, but the latest rumors put its announcement two weeks later – August 30, just before the IFA start.
The other Note – the Galaxy Note 10.1 – is a likelier candidate. It has gone through a redesign (its CPU got updated to four cores and a slot was added for the S Pen stylus) and even briefly popped up (by mistake) for pre-order on J&R. The pre-order deal was $499 for the 16GB version and $549 for the 32GB version, but that page has since been pulled.
It has been pointed out that the note comes from Samsung Electronics America, not Samsung Telecommunications America (who usually handle phones), which lends some credence to the Note 10.1 theory.
Then there's the possibility of something new (or new to America at least). Anyway, the full details will be revealed during the August 15 press conference.
So whatever it might be we'll keep you updated, so keep your eyes on our home page for more fulfil infos.

Home Improvement Questions? Ask a Handyman for Answers ASAP
Hi, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I have been in the home improvement and repair field for 20 years. I will be glad to help you today. It certainly does sound like a faulty ballast. Is this a pretty new light or is it older?
its a new light mike
Hi Paudy. Were you replacing the light fixture because of a similar issue?
no mike it was a normal ceiling light changed because it was old fashioned not because it wasnt working properly
Well that is good news. It is not uncommon for a new light fixture to have a faulty ballast. Do you still have the receipt? Is returning the fixture an option?
it might be an option cheers mike but can you tell me why you think it was the ballast???
The lights having such a short life and now not working at all. Do you still have the bulb that is burnt out? If you inspect the end of the bulb do you see any burn marks or anything like that?
just checked the bulbs there are no burn marks it just seemed to fade or dim down to nothing then stopped working completly
The easiest way to test a ballast is to check the power going to the light fixture with a mult-meter and try a new bulb. No doubt it is the ballast as you have described. Even if you do not have the box anymore the store is just going to send it back to the manufacturer anyway. The store would likely take the light and put it in the new box and give you the new one out of the box.
I worked in a package store here in the U.S. for a few years. This problem came up often.
If you are unsure if the store will take it back then you could call them first. It wouldn't be a bad idea to call them anyway to make sure they have a replacement. If they will not let you return for a replacement then remove the ballast and take it to a hardware store so you can match the correct ballast for replacement. All the information is printed on the ballast.
If you are unsure what the ballast is, it looks something like this

Tom Stewart, the acquisitions director of Arrow Films, has made a surprise exit from the company.
Arrow is understood to be re-thinking its strategy and moving away from high-end TV drama and theatrical releasing.
Stewart had spearheaded the company's push into theatrical distribution after joining the company eight years ago when it was primarily a specialist video outfit relying on catalogue titles.
He oversaw the release of independent arthouse pick-ups including David Mackenzie's Perfect Sense, Thomas Vinterberg's The Hunt, Susanne Bier's Love Is All You Need, Clio Barnard's Dark River and Zhang-Ke Jia's Touch Of Sin.
The company also launched Gillies Mackinnon's remake of Whisky Galore in both the UK and US.
Arrow is presently enjoying one of its biggest recent sleeper successes at the UK box office with drama Edie, in which Sheila Hancock plays an elderly woman attempting to climb a daunting Scottish mountain. The film has already made close to £400,000 at the UK box office.
However, the company has also had misfires with bigger films including Good Kill (2014) and Marjane Satrapi's The Voices (2015), starring Ryan Reynolds, which were expensive to launch into the UK theatrical marketplace.
Stewart is an industry veteran who has also worked at FreemantleMedia and Metrodome Distribution. On the TV side, he acquired the original Swedish Wallander series for Arrow, thereby galvanising the company's "Nordic Noir and beyond label," which also handled The Killing, Borgen and The Bridge.
The company's marketing director Jon Sadler has also now departed.

Is It Worth It?
The premise is simple; three brand new, experimental small batch beers delivered to your door every fortnight, all for £11 including delivery (UK prices). Pretty straightforward right? But is it worth it?
That's the real question here. I've been pretty hot and cold when it comes to new BrewDog beers this year, so with six new beers every month...could we start to face some BrewDog fatigue? I certainly hope not, because I do love BrewDog - Elvis Juice & Hazy Jane remain two of my favourite beers to date.
I sceptically decided to sign up. I think FOMO (fear of missing out) took over me - BrewDog really have nailed it here with the marketing strategy. I imagine there will be loads of people out there like me, purely signing up because they don't want to miss out. Time to find out of these beers were worth signing up for.
The Beers
The beers themselves arrive neatly packaged in a typically BrewDog branded cardboard box. Inside the box, the beers come with a tasting card that details all the tasting notes. As far as branding & packaging goes, it's definitely all pretty cool & eye catching & certainly does the job of making a good impression.
Jet Trash
First up is Jet Trash (v1), a 6.9% ABV West Coast IPA. Here's what BrewDog have to say about it:
"A quintessential and super-fresh India Pale Ale flying the flag with a huge payload of US hops on both aroma and flavour backed by a toffee-forward malt base"
Jet Trash pours from the can a deep amber colour, leaving a foamy white head. Aromas are citrus; orange, lemon & grapefruit with a backbone of hops & malts. Taste wise there is loads of grapefruits, prominent malts & a good splash of bitterness rounding it all off.
I enjoyed this beer, it's a like a baby brother of Jackhammer & I certainly enjoyed it more than Native Son, their West Coast DIPA released earlier this year.
4 out of 5
Next up is Zephyr (v1), a 4.6 ABV Citrus-Infused Session Sour. Here's what BrewDog have to say about it:
"Brewed with pale malt, wheat, Perle hops and a healthy addition of citrus, Zephyr is a tangy session pale with a pronounced aroma of grapefruit and lime and a juicy acidity on the palate"
Zephyr pours a clear amber colour leaving a foamy white head. Aromas are mainly grapefruit & sherbet lemon. Taste is prett much all tangy lemon up front before an overpowering soapy flavour takes over - for me, it really wasn't that nice.
I really didn't get on with this beer. Initial flavours were OK, but I found the aftertaste quite unplesant - like washing up liquid or something.
1.5 out of 5
Finally we have Nebula, a 10% ABV Russian imperial stout and here's what BrewDog have to say about it:
"A brand new imperial stout brewed to be a decadent beast – packed with flavours of chocolate, coffee, cinder toffee and roasted malt."
Nebula pours a deep oil black, leaving a foamy beige head. Aromas are coffee, brown sugar & some forest fruits. Flavours are quite similar to the aromas - big coffee & chocolate flavours combine with sweet brown sugar & toffee before a jolt of bitterness rounds it all off. For being such a heavy hitting beer, I found it rather smooth & easy to drink.
Overall, I found Nebula to be another decent beer. Full of interesting flavours that work well together.
4 out of 5
Overall, I still remain slightly skeptical if Fanzine will prove to be a worthwhile long term investment; whilst Jet Trash & Nebula were decent beers, I really didn't like Zephyr. But I guess I can't be too quick to judge, the premise is they are experimental beers - they aren't going to be perfect. It's certainly a solid start and I look forward to seeing how this subscription evolves.
I've actually paused my subscription after the first week, a combination of Hop Shop Aberdeen having an insane beer haul last week and going on holiday this weekend meant there wasn't enough room in my bank account for all those beers. I do plan to reactivate it after my holiday and seeing what comes next.
I'll be sure to keep you updated of future Fanzine releases when they arrive.
Have you signed up to Fanzine? What did you think?

Beer Review - IPA Kolata
Evil Twin Brewing
"...If you like Piña Coladas..."
Someone at Evil Twin Brewing clearly does, because they have gone and made a Piña Colada inspired beer; IPA Kolata is a 8% ABV IPA brewed with lactose, pineapple and coconut. I spotted this beer on Instagram a while back & and been wanting to try it ever since, so kudos again to Hop Shop Aberdeen for getting it on the shelf.
Here's what Evil Twin have to say about it:
"Inspired by an iconic tropical cocktail with a twist of what a modern beer should taste like. An IPA shaken up with lactose and with coconut and pineapple added. It's creamy, fruity, comforting, annoyingly good and basically the epitome of poolside drinking."
I love a Piña Colada & I love a good beer, so this should be interesting.
First up, the can looks so cool - I'm a huge fan of what Evil Twin do with their can designs, they are usually so simplistic, bold & eye catching. IPA Kolata pours a cloudy golden orange with a foamy white head that disperses quite quickly. Aromas are mostly pineapple & citrus hops along with a touch of coconut & sweetened milk - very interesting aromas.
Taste wise, this beer is pretty much as advertised - loads of pineapple, coconut & lactose alongside more tropical fruits & a touch of bitterness. This beer tastes great, and it is extremely drinkable! It is so smooth & creamy, with very little carbonation - it goes down so well.
Overall, this has been one awesome beer. The flavours work so well together, and the creaminess from the lactose makes it so drinkable. I'm hoping to feature more and more beers from Evil Twin Brewing on here as they are such an exciting brewery - the Danish born company are set to open their first every brewery/tap room later this year in Queens, NYC.
IPA Kolata gets 4.5 out of 5 from me 🍻
Tiny Rebel
Next up we have Peaches and Cream IPA by the kings of Wales, Tiny Rebel Brewing Co. I've previously reviewed two of their beers on this blog - Captain Insano & Clwb Tropicana, with both gaining very favourable reviews. So when Hop Shop Aberdeen dropped an issue of their newsletter a couple of weeks ago & I seen the words "Peaches", "Cream" & "IPA" together, I knew this was a beer I had to try.
Peaches & Cream IPA is exactly what it says on the label - a 5.5% ABV Peaches & Cream IPA and here's what Tiny Rebel have to say about it:
"Does exactly what it says on the tin! Peach flavours from, you guessed it, peaches! The cream comes from sweet, smooth lactose and the IPA from the bucket loads of Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe that compliment the sweet fruit flavours."
Tiny Rebel certainly have a reputation when it comes to jamming their beers full of awesome flavours, so I was looking forward to this one.
Before we go any further, lets talk about the bottle. Seriously, how cool is the label?! It features "Princess Peach" doing some spray painting and the signature Tiny Rebel Logo.
Peaches & Cream IPA pours a hazy orange colour leaving a creamy white head. The aromas are predominantly loads of sweet, juicy peaches with a touch of citrus. This is without doubt a beer that does exactly what it says on the bottle - on your first sip you are met an awesome juicy peach flavour & load of milky creaminess before coming to a every so slight bitter finish. Wonderful stuff! This beer is extremely easy (and enjoyable!) drinking & could easily see myself enjoying a couple of these in one sitting.
Overall, this has been another extremely enjoyable beer from Tiny Rebel. These guys are without doubt one of the most exciting breweries in the UK right now & I can't wait to see what comes next. Peaches and Cream IPA gets 4.5 out of 5 from me 🍻

Beer Review - Very Big Moose
Fierce Beer x Brew York / BrewDog x Fierce Beer
Over the last couple of weeks I've had two versions of Very Big Moose. Initially brewed as a collaboration with BrewDog as part #COLLABFEST2017, it has since been re-released as a collaboration with Brew York using Tonka beans & again with BrewDog in celebration of #PUNKAGM2018.
Since I had both these versions just days apart, I decided to review them together. Hop Shop Aberdeen again delivered the goods in getting these two awesome collaborations on the shelves in no time at all.
Very Big Moose: tonka - fierce Beer x Brew York
First up we have Very Big Moose: Tonka edition, a beer that was my beer of the show at #northhopabz recently. VBM: Tonka is a 12% ABV imperial chocolate stout that has been brewed using Tonka beans in collaboration with york based brewery, Brew York. If like me, you didn't know what Tonka beans were...here's a quick explanation from Google:
"Tonka beans are a somewhat exotic ingredient that is becoming more and more common in home cupboards. The beans are about an inch long and look similar to raisins in texture and are actually seeds from a type of flowering tree found in South America. They are often used as a substitute for vanilla in recipes and have their own vanilla-like flavour – but with fruity, spicy notes. Tonka beans pair well with chocolate as well as sweet fruits such as strawberries and is often used in puddings and in ice creams."
So, now that we're all educated, here's what Fierce beer had to say about this beer:
"When deciding on what beer to make with the amazing guys from Brew York,it really was an easy decision. Taking our multi-award winning Very Big Moose, and using their expertise in the use of Tonka beans has produced something superspecial. A robust stout with a velvety mouthfeel, cacao notes and – wham! – Tonka awesomeness."
I'd heard very good things about this beer, so naturally when I seen it on the Fierce Beer tap list at North Hop, I had to try it - and wow, it blew me away. The flavours were incredible! So much so, that the very next morning, I got myself round to Westhill Service Station to pick up a can.
VBM: Tonka pours a deep, oil black colour, leaving a thin brown head that disperses pretty rapidly. The aromas from this beer are incredible; sticky, sweet toffee, combined with loads of chocolate & vanilla are rounded off with a touch of coffee - almost like a sticky toffee pudding in a glass! Unsurprisingly, the flavours do not disappoint either - huge vanilla flavours are combined with bitter chocolate, sweet treacle, roasted coffee & a warming alcohol finish. Wow. This beer is so good. For being 12% ABV, it is extremely drinkable too, very slick mouthfeel with little fizz.
Overall Very Big Moose: Tonka gets 4.75 out of 5 from me 🍻
Very Big Moose - BrewDog x Fierce Beer
Unfortunately for me, I missed out on last years collaboration between Fierce Beer & BrewDog. So when I heard from Hop Shop Aberdeen that it was being released again to celebrate this years #PUNKAGM then I made sure I wasn't missing out again. Very Big Moose is again, a 12% ABV imperial chocolate stout and here's the official lowdown from BrewDog:
"Not only did crew from BrewDog Aberdeen assist in the brewing of this beer for #Collabfest2017 - but it came out on top as the winner, beating 33 other beers for that top spot!
Together they brewed up a super-imperial version of Fierce Beer's session chocolate - Moose Mousse. They used the best Colombian Cacao and Madagascan Vanilla. It drinks really well at room temp, chilled, or with an ice cream float.
We brought this one back by popular demand for #PunkAGM2018!"
Yeah, this is going to be something special...
Very Big Moose pours from the awesomely designed bottle a dark black with a thin tan head that doesn't hang around very long. The aromas here are again awesome - roasted coffee, sweet brown sugar & marshmallow are combined with loads of vanilla. Flavours are out of this world - rich milky chocolate combine with vanilla, brown sugar & roasted coffee to create almost the perfect imperial dessert stout. For a 12% ABV beer there also isn't too much sign of the alcohol either, which is pretty dangerous! The mouthfeel is excellent too - luxurious, silky smooth, slightly creamy & very little carbonation make this extremely enjoyable to drink.
It's understandable why this beer has a 100 overall rating on RateBeer. Wow. For me, it just pips the Tonka version. Overall, Very Big Moose gets 5 out of 5 hops from me 🍻
So overall, these are two incredible versions of the same beer & one that I'm glad I finally got round to drinking. Hopefully we can expect to see more awesome collabs between BrewDog & Fierce, especially with them being practically neighbours now!
For my next beer review BrewDog are back with their first wildcard release of 2018 - Kamikaze Knitting Club, a 7.5% ABV maple stout. BrewDog have history with releasing some pretty awesome wildcard beers throughout the course of the year with 2017 giving us Nine to Five Wizard & Pump-Action Poet. Those were some damn good beers, and combined with my ever growing love for stouts - I was pretty hyped for this beer. Here's the official word on it from BrewDog:
"A 7.5% maple stout, Kamikaze combines dark malts with a classic Canadian export - maple syrup, adding to the warming malty and smoky character. The maple sweetness is balanced out by a healthy dose of Sorachi Ace, resulting in a herbal and coconutty hop character against a backdrop of chocolate and roasted maltiness."
Sounds good right?
Since writing this post I notice that you can no longer find this beer on the BrewDog website - you are met with an error message. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the news article regarding the apparent backlash to this beer label in Asia.
Let's get straight in to the incredible can art - it is so freaking cool! It's certainly one of the most eye catching beer cans that I've seen, right up there with the best of Beavertown.
Kamikaze Knitting Club pours a dark, oil black, leaving a foamy beige head. Initial aromas are those roasted malts, coffee & a hint of bitter chocolate. These are then rounded off with the slightest sweetness of the maple syrup. On taste you get the rich roasted coffee first with a hint of sweetness - I guess from the maple syrup. There is a really sharp hoppy bitterness at the end, which certainly caught me off guard. It is a tasty enough beer, but for being labelled as a maple stout, I really didn't get much of the maple syrup in the flavour - only the slightest hint of sweetness.
Overall, Kamikaze Knitting Club was a decent, yet unspectacular beer. From the name & the packaging you expect a beer that is packed full of exciting flavours, however what is left is a pretty ordinary stout. That's a few beers in a row now from BrewDog that have left me slightly underwhelmed, however I'm not going to write them off just yet as I know they have incredible beer in them...I'm looking at you Hazy Jane.
Kamikaze Knitting Club gets 3 out of 5 hops from me 🍻

Denmark has firmly established its reputation as the happiest country in the world, ranked consistently on top of indices from the World Map of Happiness, to the most recent World Happiness Report 2013.
Those passionate about urban bicycling know Denmark as the modern day "Bicycle Kingdom", as can be evidenced by these photos I took in Copenhagen streets in the fall of 2011.
Those who care about politics with a worldly view would also know Denmark for its strong social welfare benefits to its citizens, similar to its Scandinavian neighbors such as Sweden and Norway.
While the bicycle maybe a manifestation of the Danes' happiness, as ABC journalists Bill Weir and Sylvia Johnson wisely observed:
"And perhaps the bicycle is the best symbol of Danish happiness. Danes can all afford cars, but they choose bikes — simple, economical, nonpolluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit."
… the strong social welfare explains the socio-political construct as a foundation of the happy citizenry, according to Benjamin Radcliff, a political science professor, and author of a new book 'The Political Economy of Human Happiness: How Voters Choices Determine the Quality of Life."
The radio program "Here and Now" recently interviewed him about his findings on societal happiness. Read More

| 11.1°C Dublin
"Metaphysicals" was the name given by Samuel Johnson to a grouping of 17th-Century poets, including John Donne, Andrew Marvell and Henry Vaughan, whose work Johnson did not particularly like. All were Christian; nearly all of them Christian clergymen. I have discussed the relationship of poetry to belief, with particular reference to Yeats's somewhat curious credo and Eliot's more orthodox one, in a book called A Question of Modernity, published a good number of years ago. But I do not think it would be possible to summarise the conclusions here, nor might the reader thank me if I tried to do so.
George Herbert was undoubtedly the finest poet among the Metaphysicals and this is one of his finest poems. It depends of course to an extent on the reader's acceptance of Herbert's Christianity but the profound truth about human nature that it expresses remains 'true' even if the reader is not a believer.
When God at first made man,
Having a glass of blessings standing by,
'Let us' said he, 'pour on him all we can;
Let the world's riches, which dispersed lie,
Contract into a span.'
So strength first made a way,
Then beauty flowed, then wisdom, honour, pleasure;
When almost all was out, God made a stay,
Perceiving that, alone of all his treasure,
Rest in the bottom lay.
'For if I should' said he,
'Bestow this jewel also on my creature,
He would adore my gifts instead of me,
And rest in Nature, not the God of Nature;
So both should losers be.
'Yet let him keep the rest,
But keep them with repining, restlessness;
Let him be rich and weary, that at least,
If goodness lead him not, yet weariness
May toss him to my breast.'

On Monday the Supreme Court decided to uphold a May 2017 ruling by a three-judge panel of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court and declined to review the challenge to Sunoco Inc.'s ability to use eminent domain. This decision, which reinforces a ruling in favor of the company, is merely one more in a long line finding in favor of Sunoco Pipeline, and more specifically, the Mariner East project.
While opponents of the infrastructure project have sought to derail its progress at every turn, the courts have repeatedly found in favor of Sunoco Pipeline, to the benefit of the state of Pennsylvania. Ultimately, this pipeline project will have a huge impact on the Commonwealth, including thousands of jobs for local Pennsylvanians and a $9.1 billion economic impact. Each decisive legal victory pushes back on infrastructure opponents who are trying to use the courts to halt a legally permitted project and increases the possibility that Pennsylvania will be able to gain the full benefit of energy development while keeping communities safe. They further underscore that this project is not only an economically beneficial one to the state, but also a project that stands on sound legal footing.
The Supreme Court's decision was a good one and will hopefully end the legal and regulatory rigmarole that the opposition is using in fruitless attempts to stall the project.

A celebration of success across campus
A red carpet, photography team and human-sized oscars weren't the only things worth waiting for at a special event in 3sixty this week.
On Monday and Tuesday hundreds of students and their societies put on their best dress before flocking to Union for two evenings of celebrations.
And to say the venue had undergone a makeover is quite an understatement. Thanks to the team at RUSU, what students would typically recognise as Main Room was transformed into a glitzy backdrop fit for the Grammys.
The Societies and Media Awards Ceremony was the first to take place on Monday. To host the event were RUTV presenters Emma Scott and Luke Stockwell.
Impressed by the event's dynamic atmosphere, Emma said: "It was a pleasure to present the awards. The audience was fantastic and I enjoyed watching the winners collect their awards."
Among the first to collect awards were members of the university's media streams who were commended for their commitment to informing and entertaining the student body all year round.
Individual winners included Ben Stone from RUTV (Best Media Newcomer) and Olga Shevchenko (Member of the Year) from The Spark Newspaper. Also from The Spark, Print Editor Taz Usher won Article of the Year for her piece on female empowerment in the entertainment industry.
Prizes for Committee Members of the Year were given to Ben Stone (RUTV), Taz Usher (The Spark), George Bunn (Junction 11), and Suzanna Bouhassane (The Spark Online). A special thanks was also given to Georgina Shaw (Station Manager of Junction11 Radio), Ben Stone and Jess Sellwood (Producers of The Campus News Show), and Taz Usher (The Spark) for their dedication to leading the campus media streams over the past year.
The final awards for Most Improved Media Stream and Best Broadcast went to RUTV, whilst The Spark Newspaper were named as Media Stream of The Year.
To announce the winners on both evenings were RUSU's outgoing and incoming Activities Officers; Ali Perry and Daisy O'Connor. Daisy said: "Presenting the awards was a really enjoyable experience. There are so many clubs and societies at Reading that it's easy to miss a lot of the amazing achievements going on around campus. The awards nights were a fantastic way to hear about all of this hard work, and reward just some of the clubs and individuals who have gone above and beyond."
The second half of Monday's ceremony celebrated the achievements of societies. Nominees included a huge variety of student-led groups from a range of backgrounds, brought together by their dedication to members, events and progression this past year.
Winners included Ben Carter (Drama Society), and Will Cross (ENACTUS) who were announced as Members of the Year, Amelia Elliot (Speech and Language Therapy Society) who won Committee Member of the Year, and Andrews Kostarevasm (RU Hacking) who took the prize for President of the Year. Alice Underwood (Drama Society), also took the spotlight as Society Class Clown.
Victories were also celebrated by the Christian Union society (Event of the Year), Archaeology society (Trip of the Year), and Islamic society (Fundraiser of the Year) whose impressive team efforts were praised.
Adding to the electric feel of the evening, performances by the Drama Society and Kpop kept guests entertained from start to finish. Both societies also celebrated successes including Performance of the Year (Our House, Drama society) and Society of the Year (Kpop).
Best Small Society went to the small but mighty Comedy society, whilst the Architecture society climbed the ladder to Best New Society. Meanwhile, The Hindu Society were praised as Most Dedicated Society and RU Hacking cracked the code to Most Improved Society. Additionally, a special Inclusion and Diversity Award was given to the Circus Arts Society.
And before the evening was up, gold and silver prizes under The Society Laurels Scheme were given to a number of societies in recognition of their ongoing efforts and pivotal role in the student community. Silver awards went to the Islamic, ACS, Architecture, Photography, Speech & Language Therapy, Finance, and Games & Role Play societies. Gold winners were the Christian Union, ENACTS, Ruined Archaeology, Hindu, RU Hacking, and Drama Society.
And the abundance of successes were not limited to Monday night. Tuesday saw Team Knights exchange their muddy kits for suits and ties to celebrate an overdue success after a tough loss at Varsity last term. Harry Dobson, President of the Lacrosse Club, hosted the awards.
A-game athletes were named as Dan Patterson from Softball (Coach of the Year), Ryan Coones from Ultimate Frisbee (Most Valuable Player of the Year), Emma Brand from Archery (President of the Year), Ross Haines from Men's Rugby Union (Committee Member of the Year), and Emma Smith from Women's Hockey (Captain of the Year). Prizes were also claimed by Harry Dobson from Lacrosse (Male Personality of the Year), Jessice Jeffery from Ultimate Frisbee (Female Personality of the Year), and Jessie Taylor from Pole Fitness (Clown of the Year).
And celebrating team triumphs were Tap & Modern (Dance Performance of the Year), Korfball (Most improved Club), Women's Cricket 1st Team (Most Improved Team), Badminton (Club of the Year) and Swimming (Inclusivity and Diversity Award). Scoring high, Reading Agrics claimed the Campus League Netball Award, American Football won Fundraising Event of the Year, and both Netball Women's 3rd Team (Team of the Year), and Tap & Modern (Dance Club of the Year) took a step in the right direction. Champions and winners of the Knights Accreditation Scheme were also announced. A full list of the successful societies can be found below.
In acknowledgement of those who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make all societies, events and student fundraising possible, a huge thanks was also given to Daniel Jones (Societies Coordinator for RUSU), Ali Perry (2018-19 Activities Officer), Chrissy Nazif (Sports Co-ordinator), and Vicky Purcell (Societies & Media) across the two ceremonies.
And although many will be sad to see Vicky leave this year, after 6 years of working at RUSU, her hard work and commitment to the university's societies will continue to be cherished.
Reflecting on the success of Monday night, she said: "The Society and Media Awards went really well. Activities Officer, Ali Perry, worked hard to ensure that we had great décor and food for the evening. The Awards are really important to RUSU because we have over 7k students involved in Societies, Sports and Media at Reading University and the achievements that they collectively gain over the year through events, competitions and fundraising is unreal. It's great to see the societies and committee members who work hard get rewarded for the work that they have done."
Congratulations must go to not only the award winners, but to all of those nominated and involved in any society across campus. Keep up the good work!

In between Chess, touring with Mike and the Mechanics and a third child, Tim Howar has found time to squeeze in one of the West End's most iconic roles – the Phantom. He tells Nick Clark why, for him, it's 'all or nothing'
When the West End musical Peggy Sue Got Married closed in 2001 after two months, it left Tim Howar needing another job. The performer, who had relocated from his native Canada to London, found one selling tickets for other shows including The Phantom of the Opera. Now, 17 years on, he's about to don the half mask himself and step on to the stage of Her Majesty's Theatre as its star.
"One thing I know about the business is that it's up and down. One day you're doing incredibly well and the next day that adulation has gone. You're changing and the business is changing," he says.
Howar was already an experienced performer – he had appeared in productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Miss Saigon and Les Miserables around North America – but was not afraid to roll up his sleeves to make a living. "You can't be penniless in London. A friend worked at Really Useful Group and hired me to sell tickets for the shows."
Hard graft was never an issue for Howar. When he was trying to get a band off the ground after Peggy Sue closed, he worked as a dish washer, a waiter and a bartender. "You can't be too proud," he says. "I had tonnes of jobs just to keep going. Eventually I got what I wanted."
'There's a lot of great history in the show, and great people attached to it'
That now includes one of the West End's iconic roles. He opened as the Phantom on Monday and when we speak he is midway through rehearsals. "I'm still kind of dumbfounded I got the role," he says. "It has caught me a little unawares. This is the biggest role I've had in London, I mean how much bigger can you get than the Phantom?"
He speculates that someone from either Andrew Lloyd Webber or Cameron Mackintosh's office must have seen him earlier in the year as Freddie Trumper in the revival of Chess at London's Coliseum. "You wouldn't necessarily look at me and say: 'He'd be a great Phantom'," Howar says. "But Trumper was such a passionate role, and really maniacal – he's such a bad person – maybe they saw something in that." He was invited to audition for the Phantom, and after several rounds was offered the role.
Mackintosh said it was Howar's "fresh take" on the Phantom in the audition room that got him the part. "It's a heck of a role," according to Howar. "You've got to get the notes right and you have to nail the character. You have to pull away the layers and see the human underneath. You want to get to the reasons behind the complexities, whether it's mental health or social programming."
Howar believes he can put his own mark on the role. "It comes from being able to access that vulnerable place. I don't want to put too much of myself out there, but as an actor you have to build those layers on top of the reality that the child was abused because of his looks. And the more he was abused, the more he wanted to create this guise."
His admiration for the creatives behind the show is clear. "Andrew has been at the top of musicals for a long time. He has looked after theatre so much, not just with his music but with his company. He's done a lot of good and he's a hell of a writer. What's great is he's never afraid of collaboration. Cameron too."
'You can't be too proud. I had tonnes of jobs just to keep going. Eventually I got what I wanted'
Part of the reason he wanted to audition for the Phantom, and rarely turns down new opportunities, is that he has three children – two with his ex-wife and performer Ruthie Henshall – "so I've got to go up for stuff".
In fact, the most recent arrival made headlines earlier this year. On the first preview of Chess – "I took the part as it satisfied my need to sing the big show tunes, I love great theatre music writing" – Howar had to leave at the interval and rush to the hospital where his wife Jodie Oliver-Howar had gone into labour.
"To have that happen on that first night was," he pauses, "a lot. The understudy Cellen [Chugg Jones] is a great guy and he smashed it through the roof." But after that, Howar didn't miss another show. He would be performing, then getting around two hours' sleep as the newborn Hamish made his presence felt. "It takes a lot to take me out of a show. It's all or nothing."
Actor and Chess understudy Cellen Chugg Jones – 'It was single-handedly the best moment of my life'
Incidentally, imitating his father's impressive work ethic, Hamish has already made his West End debut playing the baby in Consent at the Harold Pinter Theatre.
Howar grew up in Canada watching theatre, though he didn't see musicals other than on film. "There were a few touring productions, but I saw theatre much more. When I was a kid I saw Maggie Smith do Chekhov… They all came to Edmonton."
He is a "chameleon" when it comes to music, growing up with classical music and now singing rock for a living. "The basis of it is great storytelling." He also trained in dance.
He says: "I started off doing musicals and had a good run of success in the US and Canada, and here when I first came over, but then I went in a different direction with a band."
Over the past eight years, Howar had focused more on his music career. He is the lead singer of the reformed Mike and the Mechanics – "We've got to remind people we're not a tribute band and we're still here" – writing new music and touring. "I had been going in the opposite direction from theatre," he says.
His timing in landing the role of the Phantom could not have been better. He has a tour with the band next year "and I needed something to fill eight months". He's excited about the prospect. "There's a lot of great history in the show, and great people attached to it. I just don't want to mess it up."

He's won plaudits from the toughest comedians.
And this weekend Brighouse pupil Jack Carroll will star in the final of one of the biggest TV shows – Britain's Got Talent.
On Saturday, from 7.30pm, the eyes of TV audiences will fall on Jack, a Brighouse High School pupil.
The 14-year-old comedian has been likened to Peter Kay, while David Walliams said Jack was funnier than him.
And he even won over comedian Frankie Boyle, known for making outlandish comments, who tweeted "the comedian kid is better than loads of pros."
Jack said: "It was massive that Frankie Boyle said he liked me on Twitter. I'm a massive fan.
"I don't usually like to say who influences me – there are so many comedians that I admire."
Young comedian Jack went straight through to the final after a set of self-penned jokes – including topics such as his cerebral palsy condition, Simon Cowell and North Korea – won him the public vote.
"I'd have been gutted if I hadn't got through to the final because I have new material I wanted to use," Jack said.
"I wouldn't say I've necessarily saved the best for last but you have to top the last performance.
"I'm not planning on any outlandish costumes for the final – I'm going to keep it normal.
"I've had such positive reactions from people – people wanting their photo taken with me and things like that."
Last year Jack won a prestigious Pride of Britain award for the Teenager of Courage.
He has used his comical abilities to challenge attitudes to disability, winning fans such as Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr and Jason Manford , as well as the four Britain's Got Talent judges – Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
"I'm not sure when I realised I was funny, I think it's just since I've got older," he said.
Jack lives in Hipperholme with his sister Megan, and parents Sue and Michael.
"I did my first gig at my parents' silver wedding anniversary party when I was 11-years-old and someone put it on You Tube.
"I entered BGT because I was bored and wanted to showcase my material on a grander stage."
When Jack's not performing he says he is writing new gags but he doesn't like to test them on too many people before he performs.
"I don't really like to try out my material but if I do I try it out on my parents. They're a good audience. Sometimes they laugh.
"They are incredibly pleased for me. They've been so supportive."
Jack's school have wished "Jack all the best with the Britain's Got Talent final this Saturday" and urged people to vote for him.

How do you start a place branding project in new real estate development projects from ground zero? Where do you find the identity that will guide such a process? How do you develop a place branding strategy with authenticity and not as a form of marketing, limited to "selling" a place?
In this article I'll share an experience from a new real estate development project that involves place branding, placemaking and community engagement in São Paulo, Brazil, called Bairro da Gente/ Aeroclube (Our Neighborhood / Flying Club). The project takes place in Limeira, a municipality of a 300,000 inhabitants in the São Paulo state. This greenfield placemaking project has a unique feature: it is a project for a low-income population, otherwise usually limited to monotonous and faceless housing projects, that ignore differences between people and groups. This specific approach uses the cities-for-people thought, propagated by Jan Gehl, Kent, White, Jacobs and others. Bairro da Gente is based on three principles: mixed income, multiple purposes and cultural as well as housing diversity. The goal of this triptych is to create places of new centralities. The existence of income-generating elements inside the neighbourhood, (job and entrepreneurial opportunities, technical education, creative and solidary economy) resulting from an approach that encourages mixed uses, decreases the commuting of residents from the outskirts to central areas. This also contributes directly to people's quality of life and indirectly to the region traffic.
Our team at "PLACES FOR US" had the opportunity to build the brand Bairro da Gente since day one, using an innovative methodology for the Brazilian context:
The first idea was to work with the population living around the new project. Here, the task was relatively easy, since the area we worked upon was an empty urban space surrounded by a reasonably dense housing area, and most importantly, with residents of similar cultural and income groups, very close to the future residents. We used a method that we call identity mirroring that works with the surrounding area residents to start the search for different identities and cultural profiles that we use as starting point for a project of place branding. For a place branding approach it was essential to understand how people related to public spaces, to their neighbourhood and the city.
We started with theoretical models and tested them using collaborative methods in a large number of workshops. In these workshops, we started by defining themes in order to understand the community's wishes. The thematic axes were: work, outdoor activities, commuting, and retail. At this stage, we were armed with hundreds of post-its, harvested information from groups divided by life cycle and gender. The process was simple: large posters on the wall with the themes designed into a huge heart, where the participants put the ideas into post-its freely, without mediation, trial or discussion.
Almost at the same time, we launched a digital campaign with a single question: "I want a neighbourhood that …", where people were invited to enter the digital platform and collaborate with the research.
After understanding what was desired by the surrounding communities we updated the theoretical model and created a series of stickers icons representing activities. In a new series of workshops, people were asked to place the activities icons on the map, which at that time was an empty space surrounded by existing blocks.
This time our goal was not so simple, as we wanted to understand how the community dealt with difference, how they grouped the activities in publicly used spaces – both private and public. This would be an important information for the development of a master plan. All these workshops have allowed us to better understand the cultures and identities of the people in the region.
This set of information gave rise to the first masterplan, which described distinctive cultural districts, reflecting what architect Christopher Alexander called "mosaic of subcultures."
Thus it was possible to develop different scales of identity related to the neighbourhood: The closer the unit, the larger the level of identification , narrower and recognised with less noise; the farther the housing unit, the lower this level of recognition.
This approach has led not to a monolithic brand but a mosaic of small place brands, which we called Beta Places. These place brands were born from the theoretical model updated by community inputs achieved in the workshops series, and are named precisely beta because they need to evolve and change.
All these small sites bring the characteristics of Beta Places and together promote a common place identity.
My conclusion in this project is that even in situations where the place marketing approach seems to be more easy or efficient, like a new real state enterprise, we could always look deeper, work harder, involving the community and understanding the dreams and desires that drives them, and more important, understand the group of cultural, ethnic, social or behavioural characteristics that makes that group of people unique.
Here lies in my view the major difference between place branding and place marketing: the question of identity and how you work with it. I use the word "work", because, like consumer branding, place branding is also a process that locates identities. In this case, place identity is based on inhabitant identity. This understanding is essential in the quest for a happy experience in public spaces, and, by extension, for a happier life.

Climategate all over again.
From the "A miracle has occurred" department. It appears that the same people who are dumb enough to glue themselves to pavement to protest climate, apparently have no clue about online security of their own organization.
From what has been discovered so far, it seems they ran their entire worldwide organization online, but apparently left all the document security settings "public", so anyone can read them. The XR group seems completely oblivious to the fact that hundreds of their most secret internal documents are readable by anyone, anywhere in the world.
Almost ten years ago, we had Climategate, in which scientists were found to be playing fast and loose with data and techniques to achieve desired results in climate science. Now, it's the activists turn with 'XRGate'.
XR is mostly UK based, and UK journos have been looking at the publicly accessible documents. James Delingpole and Paul Homewood of the UK both have done investigative work. Excerpts of both articles they have written today are below.
Major donors are said to include Vivienne Westwood's son Joe Corre (the saucy underwear and dildo tycoon, worth $48 million); the European Climate Foundation (which funnels money from far-left American philanthropic foundations to European climate projects); Greenpeace; the far-left Tides Foundation; and a little known Swiss asset management company, called Furka Holdings, founded by a banker with Russian links, which gave £50,000.
Here are some of things that the eco-fascist protest group has achieved for its sponsors so far:
Prevented a man from saying goodbye to his dying father because their roadblock prevented him getting to hospital in time.
Exposed the police to ridicule after one officer was filmed skateboarding to show how down with the green kidz he was during a protest at which Extinction Rebellion had blocked an entire London bridge by turning it into a mini-Glastonbury.
Cost the taxpayer at least£16 million for extra policing, plus untold millions more for the cost of dealing with the 1200 Extinction Rebellion activists arrested in 11 days of protests.
Threatened to ruin the summer holidays of thousands of travellers with a plan (happily nixed) to use drones to shut down Heathrow Airport.
Cost London businesses upwards of £12 million in lost revenues.
Short of actually killing someone – they claim to be non-violent, though let's see how long that one lasts – it's hard to imagine what Extinction Rebellion could do that they haven't done already to show what very nasty pieces of work they are.
So why would anyone wish to give such a wickedly unpleasant organisation money?
One reason, perhaps, is the gulf between how Extinction Rebellion presents its aims publicly and what it actually believes privately.
As was noted in a recent report by Richard Walton – former head of the Metropolitan Police's Counter-Terrorism Command – Extinction Rebellion is a hard-left extremist organisation with anti-Semitic associations.

text: stevefogs #1 Posted 6 October , 2007 First of all thank you all out there for replying to my last two messages! I am still very new to all this, but what a website! I am researching information on a soldier for a very good friend of mine, and to be honest i am struggling at the moment. So if anyone out there can help it would be fantastic. I am searching for information on Private 6724 Henry Livingstone Phillipson of the 6th Battalion Northumberland fusiliers, who died from his wounds in the UK on February 14th 1917. I know that Henry won the military medal, but alas my friend, who's great grandfather he was has no information on where,when,and why he won it. Information on the battalions positions and actions around that time would also be very useful. Thanks once again to everyone for supporting this fantastic website, and for the help that everyone gives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protests, which began on 11 September, were provoked by a crude film which insulted the Prophet Muhammad and portrayed Muslims as violent and immoral
Violent clashes broke between Central Security Forces (CSF) protecting the United States embassy in Garden City and protesters enraged the anti-Islamic film.
State-owned MENA news agency reported 23 protesters were arrested between Wednesday and Thursday afternoon and that 24 CSF officers were injured. Most of the arrested protesters were taken from Omar Makram mosque during Fajr prayers on Thursday and taken to Abdeen court, according to human rights lawyer Ahmed Helmy's Twitter account

"First of all apologies for the late response. During the last X (too many to mentions) amount of years I have bought, rented my property (thanks Joe) and now finally sold property via Mill Hill Ellis and Co. I would like to thank the whole team for their professional services and friendship. With regards to the recent sale of my parent�s family house I would like to thank Adam. Adam your professional approach and the manner you handled all aspects of the sale was outstanding. I was always kept informed and I appreciate the advice and how you went the extra mile to help see this sale through to completion. I cannot thank you enough as you know it was a sad time for my family and your professionalism and help is greatly appreciated. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Mill Hill Ellis and Co."
"Dealing with Adam at Ellis & Co made the process of selling our home so much easier. He is wonderful to deal with and we couldn�t recommend him more."
"Ellis and Co, especially Adam, have been wonderful and helpful in the sale of my parents bungalow. I can�t praise them high enough, such professionalism and patience. Always cheerful. Helpful and positive. I can�t thank you enough. I would recommend you to everyone."
"Great service, experienced professionals and where helpful at ironing out difficulties in a long property chain"
"I had Ellis & Co for several years as estate agent to let my flat and their work was excellent. Recently, I sold this flat through them. They found the buyer in 10 days at the price they recommended. In both experiences, as landlord and vendor, I had to face difficulties, but all agents were extremely helpful to sort out problems at different stages. It is in these situations when things come out from routine that you understand the importance of dealing with professional estate agents of high quality. If you have to buy/sell or let/rent a flat or a house in London, I recommend to contact Ellis & Co., in my experience the best in the market."
"We have known Ellis & Co in Mill Hill for more than 20 years; we first bought a house through them back in 1995 and have just completed on our third property - in Mill - which we have bought through them. They continue to provide an exceptional service - definitely an estate agent that stands out from the crowd."
"Ellis and Co were excellent with the rental & management of my flat, all maintenance issues were dealt with promptly. I also bought my flat through them and they were very professional and courteous, I would highly recommend their services for both sales & lettings."
