The Ranting Room

^ That's four posts in 48 hours. Yep, mankind sucks, make the best of it. The thread is designed to allow everyone to let off steam, but you are starting to resemble a kettle 

^ cloistered virtue is no virtue at all. You can still assert your own individuality in the face of the tsunami of modernity that clearly causes you so much anguish. Living in a secluded  cave is NOT an option, the people who share your values will gravitate towards you and those of your ilk. Rejoice in minority sports pilgrim, that's all that's left.

Some idiot Tory MP decided it was a good use of their time to discuss changing August Bank Holiday into THatcher Day!!! f**king Thatcher Day !!! He shoulf know what a waste of time that is! 

Fortunately The  Rt Hon Some idiot Tory MP ran out of parliamentary time just as he made his case, and stands virtually no chance of becoming law. I guess that's a bill he flustered.

I've had awful insomnia throughout my adult life and whle there may be some physilogical factors at play here, most insomnia is simply caused by having a lot on your mind and not being able to switch off when you need to. A while ago it got so bad I actually considered getting rid of my bed because it wasn't serving any function anymore. I considered turning my bedroom into another living room or even a studio, and just getting a sofa bed for the lounge so I could crash every now and then when I could no longer stand up! Seriously.. Best to address the things that keep playing over in your mind and are keeping you awake, if thats applicable for you. Speak to your doctor and arrange some talking therapy. Have you tried listening to Pink Floyd Andy?Seriously DSOTM normally has me gone somewhere on side 1.

I've tried. If I do start drifting off 'Time' wakes me up with a jolt, and makes me jump out of my skin!

Some, if not most, vitamins work by magic. The human body needs vitamins to function, like all other animals that eat, these vitamins we get through our natural diet. Vitamin supplements are only needed if they are not being obtained through natural diet - taking more than the body needs does not make the body work better.  However, millions of vitamin supplements are consumed every day and the huge profits are made as a result of that even though most of them flush through the digestive system unused (or in extreme cases can cause negative effects if in very high dosage). If taking unnecessary vitamins make you feel better then it's a placebo effect - and that's magic.

Years ago..I recorded a narrative story on to cdr. A few mates on P.A. expressed interest in hearing it. I mailed copies to them and one particular individual posted the story and created a vid for it on Y.T. A few months later a "metal monster" contacted the P.A. members and informed them that they were walking through the forbidden jungles and if they didn't remove the vid...they would have a lawsuit to face. The vid was removed. Mrs. Metal Monster took her chances and scared off the interested party by applying macho power tactics. A confrontation between me and her revealed her frantic notion to produce a vid herself and we agreed that she should. She acted as if she had a position of power with a full blown ego minded attitude and she had convinced herself that she had scared off the young members of P.A.   She had created independent vids for my film oriented compositions. It was evident that she had been following me around to every website I visited, kepping tabs on my private business or my personal friendships with P.A. members. She had information that only a hacker could know. She attempted to crush and break ties with myself and friends I conversed with on P.A. Eventually...all skeptics who disregarded the story as farce, freaks who supported the story etc...began to contact her and express their views.

my beef?.....people at gigs who insist useing their mobile phones to film/take rubbish photos of gigs continuously through out a gig......idiots of the highest order.......end up missing the experience of the whole package of a live concert as been looking at it through their t**t mobiles....then after insist days later showing off the grainy shakey footage with awful sound to those who weren't there....... 

It would be one thing if cell phone recordings could actually be good and worthwhile. But they all are terrible. Every one. It's a waste of time.
