I saw an unverified blog post to the effect that Tel Aviv was struck overnight by cluster munitions. Can anyone else verify this? There is a 2008 international convention banning the use of cluster munitions, though it's my understanding that neither Israel nor the United State are signatories.

I nicked this album off Jonathan Griffiths in year 4 and think I still have it somewhere. #totp

Big deal in Spain, apparently.

Never leave the house without speed, chewing gum, and chalk.

Someone must be able to get you some speed.

Probably a stupid question, but do you know Aviador Dro? They were quite the spectacle when I stumbled across them in Madrid a few years back.

That bloke from New Radicals wrote the rollercoaster song that he did. And that's the extent of my knowledge.

I was living in Phnom Penh in 2006/7 and Ronan Keating came over to do a gig. As if the people hadn't suffered enough. #totp

We should have a lockdown every 18months or so.

I'll have to check it out.

Yeah, I knew him back when he was in Brain Hiroshima. We probably played gigs with them but I don't actually remember.

Also, the boob hypnosis stuff is misinformation put out by The Sun. A journalist asked him specifically to make her *think* her boobs had grown, he initially refused but agreed to try it. Cool to see Smart Thinkers(tm) run with that.

If America was a regular in a pub you wouldn't drink there.

Why has everyone started saying "1800s" and "1900s" instead of "19th century" and "20th century"?

Just remembered I once wrote a cover letter that said "I'm poor and will do whatever you tell me to do in exchange for money."
I didn't get an interview.

If we heard mortar shells
We'd cuss more in our songs
And cut down on guitar solos

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

I used to drink in a pub with one of 'em about 15 years ago. If I'm not wrong she got in trouble for going off sick and being on tour.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
