THE PRICE OF REWARDING TERRORISM
You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.
HIT THE TIP JAR!

hmmmm...not much of a tune.
Reasons to be Cheerful by the Blockheads, in the present climate, would be better. Ian Dury. Wonderful London stalwart.
Bernard --- or a variation, watch.
Madness is my fav band, never heard this one though.
David I saw them at the Brighton Centre 1980
They pointed my teenage rebellion into something positive.
You're not that older than me you know ;)
Percy - and now they have gone and been replaced by more genius. I saw them many years ago also and they were great!
Ian Dury, more genius indeed! A poet and wordsmith of the highest order:
Good evening I'm from Essex
In case you couldn't tell
My given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay
And I'm doing very well
Had a love affair with Nina
In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener
She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between her
Rum and her Ribena
Hooray David!
He was a lovely man. Had a good band too...
Thanks.
I kinda liked Dury's comments while he was dying of colon cancer aged 57: "I'm not going to complain, as I've had a lot more fun and games than many others, and complaining is for w*****s, innit?" A true gent, he accepted his imminent demise with a shrug, and refused to be self-pitying about it.
He too leaves a (small, but worthwhile) legacy to us all. Lucky bleeder!
Yeah a magic trick of disappearance.
I went to Canterbury University to read Maths in the 80's and Ian Dury was well known in the town.
Dury was vocalist and lyricist, co-writing with pianist Russell Hardy and later enrolling into the group a number of the students he was teaching at Canterbury College of Art,
My first job was in a Bank, and the guy I was house-sharing with used to put on Blockheads on replay ,in the morning as a tease to wake me up.
Good memories...
Saw Ian many years ago - great guy and best of all, a wordsmith,
Nice one, Tommo.
ah but the scene that its sitting on while at rest is an all time classic watch at least till the middle of the clip...lol
glad you like that troll,
I love the bit about trying to get the codes off him.
Its a wonderful film
Troll
Dr Strangelove - "Perversion and Coca Cola"

I confess I thought you were like the paranoid general.

I love that film, just don't report me to the coca cola company!
Ian Dury, more genius indeed! A poet and wordsmith of the highest order</i?
Spasticus Autisticus. End of. IMO one of the best songs ever composed.
