Inishfallen, Fare Thee Well...
"A raid! ... Which were they - the Tommies [i.e. soldiers] or the Tans? Tans, thought Sean, for the Tommies would not shout so soullessly, nor smash the glass panels so suddenly; they would hammer on the door with a rifle-butt, and wait for it to be opened. No, these were the Tans ( Read more... ) -
REASONS TO BE MORE CHEERFUL
After going out of print with a single short-run in 2001 (and subsequently rocketing to at least £200 a book) it looks like Jowell and Berger's two-part Rays of the Rising Sun: Japan's Asian Allies 1931-45 is getting a £30e.p hardbound reprint. And not merely that...
This is a limited edition reprint of just 500 copies, each copy numbered and ( Read more... ) -

RODE A TANK TODAY. IT WAS LOVELY AND WARM.
Starting at 1:30, this clip from BBC3 puppet-comedy Mongrols contains the charming love between a chicken and a fox, a cautionary moment from the life of Anne Frank, and a heart-rending song about chickens... and how we should send them all back to Hong Kong.

YOU KNOW HOW 123?
It might have got more radio-play than Marconi and Tesla combined, but Plan B's new (?) album really isn't that bad. Watching him again in Harry Brown and listening to him - rather impressively against type in the film's aptly titled end theme (End Theme) - it just goes to show how talented he is ( Read more... ) -
UNCLE BEN'S RICE MADE SPIDERMAN WHO HE IS TODAY
I for one am proud South Korea has taken up the mantle of the glorious Dai Nippon and are enacting varied and meaningless seppuku for greater glory as part of heroic/magnificent Nippon Tōchi-jidai no Chōsen.

She panted loudly as she felt his seed in her warm fuck hole, then her orgasm smashed into her brain
"Each time I entered treatment, I continued to molest children. I liked molesting children and did what I had to do to avoid jail so I could continue molesting. ... I must be executed before I have an opportunity to escape or kill someone else. If I do escape, I promise you I will kill and rape again, and I ( Read more... )
