Free the Anti-Zionist Protesters!

Defend the Palestinian People!

Free the Anti-Zionist Protesters! Drop the Charges Now!

http://www.icl-fi.org/english/wv/959/britain.html

The following article appeared in Workers Hammer No. 210 (Spring 2010), newspaper of our comrades of the Spartacist League/Britain.

We print below a 13 March letter sent to the Home Office by the Partisan Defence Committee, a class-struggle, legal and social defence organisation associated with the Spartacist League. The letter protests the conviction and jailing of youth, mainly Muslims, who took part in London protests against Israel’s war on Gaza a little over a year ago. There will likely be more such sentences as more cases come before the courts.

Comrades of the Spartacist League/Britain and other International Communist League (ICL) sections internationally participated in protests while the Zionist mass murder machine pounded the Gaza ghetto in air assaults followed by a devastating ground invasion, terrorising and killing Palestinian men, women and children. The ICL called for the working class internationally to stand for military defence of Hamas without giving that reactionary Islamic fundamentalist outfit one iota of political support. We demanded: Defend the Palestinian people! All Zionist troops and settlers out of the West Bank and East Jerusalem!

Unlike the Zionists and indeed the anti-Semitic Islamic fundamentalists, we do not equate the Zionist state with the Hebrew-speaking people, who have the right to self-determination as well as the Palestinian people. The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is one of interpenetrated peoples: two peoples laying claim to the same piece of land. Under capitalism, the exercise of national self-determination by one will necessarily be at the expense of the other. As long as the national principle prevails, the oppression of the Palestinians, who are the weaker side, can only worsen. As Marxists we seek to bring the class question to the fore, insisting on the need for proletarian revolutionary parties to fight for workers revolutions to shatter the Zionist state from within and to sweep away the mullahs, colonels, sheikhs and all the other capitalist rulers. Defence of those subjugated by the imperialists around the globe demands the pursuit of class struggle in Britain, the U.S. and other imperialist centres, pointing towards a proletarian struggle for power.

For Arab/Hebrew workers revolution! For a socialist federation of the Near East!

* * *

We protest the outrageous convictions and sentences meted out to youth arrested during the December 2008-January 2009 London protests against Israel’s slaughter in Gaza. Reportedly of 119 arrested, some 26 have so far been sentenced and 22 sent to jail for terms ranging from eight months to two-and-a-half years, for such trivial acts as throwing placards. The arrests followed months of surveillance by the police, who descended on homes like stormtroopers in dawn raids during which family members were handcuffed in separate rooms.

These youth, almost all Muslims and many under 20 years old, were expressing justified rage at the bloodbath carried out by the Zionists in Gaza. Israel’s war left 1,400 Palestinians dead and thousands injured, and reduced most of Gaza—already essentially a concentration camp surrounded by an electrified fence, a sealed border with Egypt, and the Mediterranean Sea—to ash and rubble. The jailings for protesting this atrocity underline British imperialism’s solidarity with the Zionist butchers.

Judge John Denniss, in handing down the sentences at Isleworth Crown Court in Middlesex, has stated his intent to send a message of “deterrence.” The message, broadcast loud and clear in the convictions and sentences, is one of naked state racism otherwise known as the government’s “war on terror,” which is an anti-Muslim witch hunt. In fact the judge reportedly relied on the precedent of the draconian sentences handed out to young Asians jailed for defending their communities from rampaging fascists in Bradford in 2001. Then too such “lessons” were delivered in the form of six-year prison terms for throwing stones. The fruit of this poison relentlessly dished up by the Blair and Brown Labour governments is the growth of the fascist BNP and their spin-offs, the English Defence League, who parade their anti-Muslim filth.

We demand: Free the jailed protesters now! Drop all the charges!

Tourist recommendations, please! Greater London area ONLY, thanks.

2009-08-20T01:21:57Z

Here are some thoughts on things to do & see as a tourist in Greater London, centered on Leicester Sq. / Covent Garden.

Also looking for a recommendation on a Tattoo Artist near Leicester Sq. And yes, I've checked yell.co.uk, but that isn't a recommendation, it's just a statement that they are in business.

Here are some thoughts, for a starter. This is just a quick list, additional suggestions are appreciated and requested.

Looking at and visiting: Big Ben / Bond Street & Old Bond Street / Camden Flea Mkt / China Town / Covent Garden Market / Downing Street (at least up to the gate to see what can be seen) / Drury Lane / grave yards & graves (to do some rubbings) / Greenwich Observatory / Guild Hall to see Gogg & Magogg / Leicester Sq (the center of Tourist Land) / London Eye / Millenium Bridge / Neal's Yard / New Shakespeare Globe Theatre (for a tour & a show) / Parliament / PlayersTheatre.co.uk (to see an old style Music Hall show) / Portobello Flea Mkt / Queen's Life Guard / Soho / Southwich Church (the sign says Shakespeare is not buried here) / Speaker's Corner / St. Martin's Café in the Crypt / Tardis / Dr. Who, last standing Police Box & the Dr. Who Expo @ Earls Court / Trafalgar Sq. / Westminster Abbey for a tour.

Places that I'd skip: The Children's Museum = a dull static museum / Pollock's = worse than the Children's, it's dull static and dusty / Portrait Museum = rude attendants / Tate(s) = great place to grow orchards, a rotten place to keep art / The Wax Museum = they can't even keep trace of their heads, name tags without a head to go with it.

Tour companies I'd consider using: LondonDuckTours.co.uk = a land & water tour / Theatre Ghost Tour = fun with history / Tower of London = including the crows / LondonWalks.com Ripper Tour & Others

Foods that may taste different from what's available in California: bangers & mash / bubbles & squeek / Chinese (to see how it tastes in England) / country pie / cucumber sandwich / fish & chips / High Tea / Indian / Japanese (ditto) / mashie peas / Pub Grub / treacle / yorkshire pudding

Museums to visit: British Museum / Clink.co.uk museum / Dickens House / Herb Garret & Old Operating Theatre thegarret.org.uk / Museum of London / Science Museum / Sherlock Holmes Museum / Theatre Museum (if they've reopened it) / Transport Museum / the V&A, just to see which sections are open or are closed.

Specific shops to visit: BBC shop (to get some dvds, I hav a multi-region player) / Burlington Arcade Shops / Charing Cross Book Stores / Culpeper.co.uk Herbals / Doc Martin Shop / Fairy Goth Mother – Camden Town / Forbidden Planet Store (maybe) / Foyles.co.uk Bookstore / Hamlin Toys / Harrods.com / James Smith & Co. Umbrellas / Lockhatters.co.uk Hats / Old Curiosity Shop / OrcsNest.com Gaming / stanfords.co.uk maps / Tea House Store near Neals Yard / Treadwells Book Store / Twining Tea Shop / Waterstones.com Book Store / whsmith.co.uk books

I'm interested in British History (Queens Elizabeth I & Victoria Era), Dr. Who, Red Dwarf, Potter & the like, Live Theatre (especially Musicals), theatre production, Steam Punk, historic Architecture, historic Recreation & Costuming; to mention a subset.

Please remember, just Greater London and probably less than that for traveling range. There is more than too much to see within 5 miles of Covent Garden.

dispell any ignorance

2009-08-12T01:13:31Z

that I or anyone else in this thread may have.

In the heated debate tribe I and a tribe of mostly Americans have been discussing proposed changes to our health care system. Some of us would prefer a European or Canadian model of giving medical care, others of us fear a system like that as a total disaster.

My hope is that some of the people in this tribe are familiar with the system in Europe, and will join the discussion in this tribe and add real life experiences. I am willing to change my opinions more on the word of a European's or Canadian's experience with their system of health care than to listen to pundits on both sides of the issue here idealize the socialized medicine in these places or make them out to seem like monstrosities.

Please share your experiences, and thank you.

Bring your friends to a FREE DNA Activation Presentation in London

2009-07-17T07:19:02Z

In one hour you can have some fantastic food and learn all about a process that will awaken dormant talents and radically change your life. Tomorrow night, at inSpiral Lounge in Camden Town, is your chance to ask questions about this amazing activation you've been hearing so much about...

Wednesday, 15 July 2009 at 7:30pm
24-Strand DNA Activation and Presentation
http://www.eternallightenergy.com/bio/calendar/DNATalk_15july09.html
inSpiral Lounge, Camden Town

DNA contains two strands which hold the genetic codes for our physical environment. There are additional strands that correspond to our spiritual environment that are dormant. It is these dormant strands that contain links to our life-purpose, connection to Source, self-empowerment, and other traits that affect our physical body through our spiritual lineage.

The DNA Activation is done through etheric surgery. The etheric layer sits about one inch away from the skin and holds the power of the wills - The Will of God, The Will of the Universe, and Your Personal Will. During the process, the etheric layer from the base of the skull down to the middle of the back following the etheric spine is opened and 12 receptor sites, called codons, are illuminated with light with a crystal wand. This activates 22 of the 24 strands. The final two strands are activated by going back into one of the codons and illuminating the Spirit, Soul and Physical Body connections of our Past and Present which connect all that you have been, and all that you will be, to the elements of who you are now.

Invite all your friends to join you for this life-changing presentation!!!!
http://www.eternallightenergy.com/bio/calendar/DNATalk_15july09.html

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Blessings!

Best and worse place in London

2009-06-28T12:37:32Z

What are your best places and worse places in london?
Got to give valid reasons why!

Best place - Kensington - because the area is stunning! The place has some amazing buildings, and I secretly wish I could afford to live there.

Worse place, hmmmm maybe Hackney. I went to London college of fashion few years back, and they ahve a site on Mare St.. hated going there, police was always outside, and I always see a chinese resturant ,which I ate in now and then on Mare St, on Crimewatch!

plans for july? fancy going nowhere

2008-05-23T17:53:10Z

Ever been nowhere?

A place where you cease to exist as you do in the default world, where your relationships with those around are based not on "What can you do for me?" but "What can we do together?", a place where Radical Self-Expression and Radical Self-Reliance become Radical Realities.

Nowhere is a 5 day event in Northern Spain, based upon the principles of Burning Man in Nevada, it is an experiment in participatory creation where everyone holds a piece of the puzzle.

We truly are a Leave No Trace event. You must bring everything you need to survive in a harsh desert environment. There is no commerce at Nowhere. No money. No shopping. If You need something, You make it happen.. And everything you bring you are responsible for taking away.

Nowhere explodes into existence for 5 amazing days, it's participants bringing art, music, life, love, chaos and adventure into a world that has lost sense of the primal reasons for existence... then it fades back to the dust from which it blossomed.

Everything about this event is put together and run by volunters who pay for their tickets and celan up process sees those who attend removing all trace of themselves from this stunning landscape

A gift economy, radical self expression, radical self reliance, leave no trace and no spectators.... these guiding lights, and the natural filter of
the desert, mean that Nowhere is not for everyone. But if you are one of those who value human interaction over financial exchange, who love to create just for the sheer joy of creating, who are one of "... the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."

then maybe Nowhere is for you

No Chance Saloon Fundraiser

2008-05-23T13:06:56Z

Saddle up Partners!

On Saturday the 31st of May we will be throwing a kick ass fundraiser for the No Chance Saloon camp for Nowhere 2008 (what's Nowhere? www.goingnowhere.org) at The George, (send me a message if you need the address).

It will run from 9pm with some live music in keeping with the theme and descend into a dirty mess of hedonistic excess until the following afternoon in which we plan on showing a Wild West Movie Double Bill (starting around midday).

The theme is Wild West and dress up is encouraged, though not mandatory.

We will be running a bar and there is a suggested donation of £5 on the door.

We pledge to spend 80% of the money we make from this fundraiser on the purchasing of booze to be served at the No Chance Saloon. So it’s almost like a 2 for 1 deal, but you just have to get to Nowhere to get the free drink.

A little bit of info on our camp –

At Nowhere our saloon will incorporate an all day bar serving whiskey and tequila in the cool shade of the saloon structure, a Bucking Bronco to test your Rodeo skills on and a host of Wild West characters to drink with, play with, fight with and in all probability love with. We’ll also host a party on an undetermined night.

Hope to see you there,

No Chance Salooners.

PS. Arrive early, the past few parties at The George, we've had to turn people away once we've reached capacity.

PPS. Be kind to our neighbours and be sneaky quiet on your to and from The George.

PPPS. Are you an awesome Bluegrass band? Country singer? Cowboy/girl stripper? If anyone has an act that could be deemed relevant to a Wild West Saloon and is interested in performing at the fundraiser, please get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.

MN Burner Visiting London

2008-04-04T19:15:04Z

Hello from the middle of the cold (getting warmer) Minnesota lands!
I am visiting my brother in London for the next ten days and I was wondering if there are any local burner meet-ups while I'm here?
I'm based out of Walthamstow until the 14th.
I know I'll be hitting Whirlygig tomorrow, the Tiger Lilies show this week, and have a few other events planned to, so any suggestions of places to go is awesome.

Thanks!

V&A Late Friday (29/3/08) --- That's two days' time

2008-03-26T21:09:37Z

Dear All,

I'm heading to the V&A for it's monthly late-night event. The night is titled Subterreanea and includes readings, a DJ set by St Etienne (but more than likely just Bob Stanley) and a Film screening of Jacques Tati's 'Play Time' (1967), famous for its enormous, specially constructed set depicting a futuristic glass and steel Paris. Preceded by a discussion with photography expert David Campany examining architectural artifice and Tati's fictionalised view of modernist Paris.

I'll be there at the front at 6pm. Let me know if you're interested.

free and easy way to help homeless children

2007-08-28T18:06:45Z

Please use www.railwaychildren-friends.com/email.asp as a search engine for your internet searches and you'll raise a massive 10p per search! please set it as your homepage for ease of use and start raising money today ;)

You can have a snoop on the charities efforts at www.railwaychildren.org.uk

They are mainly a preventative charity which in terms of being a street child can mean the difference between a world of pain and heartache and a life worth living. Railway children endeavour to meet runaway children before pimps, pushers or abusers do. They are even getting to help the kids in Siberia who are living in the sewers.

80% of their money goes straight to the projects, 17% fundraising, 3% admin etc, so they are a 'fair-enough-trade' charity.

10p a search is phenomenal and it means that the average amount spent per child -£44- will take 440 searches...its fairly usual for me to search 20 items per evening, so that means in 22 evenings that ground level support for a child is reached. www.railwaychildren-friends.com/email.asp

There is a snag with the search page which is that on entering a search it automatically redirects to a normal search page for the results. So inorder that you keep raising money for the charity you have to go back to the root page with the picture of the child and the green bits for each new search subject to raise another all important 10p.

Thanks very much for your efforts and please do enjoy your days. Also if there are any forums that you can forward this message or indeed your own personal email contacts please do send this on, more the better. ;) *

THE NOTHING / MATRIX HAS YOU

2007-07-12T02:20:19Z

36 hours later .... NO DONATIONS SO FAR

Life is getting tricky again / worse than usual

With no donations, I have to decide whether to
cancel the website, or not be able to eat in a
week's time when my monthly payment is taken
for http://www.worldgathering.net

One reason I feel 'World Gathering' may be worth
pursuing is because two days after launching 'World
Gathering 25/26 August 2007' - on May 1st - the
power of the directed energy attack on me doubled.

This increase in harassment seemed to tell me
that there are things 'they' do not want me to do.
The truth is, though, whenever I do any large
postings on the Internet, the power of the laser,
microwave, pulse, sonic, or whatever it is, increases.

'They' just do not want me to communicate with
many other people.

Why are they worrying?

So far, hardly anyone seems interested in the
World Gathering.

A few weeks ago quite a large number of people
were copying World Gathering posters and banners
onto their websites and blogs. But I didn't really
receive feedback from anyone, saying it’s a great
idea, or promising organisation of a local supporting
event for 25/26 August.

I get a spooky feeling.

I was bankrupted in 2004 by four years of targeting,
24/7, by severe amounts of directed energy (my eyesight
went bad and I could hardly walk on many days). I was
therefore made homeless in 2004 and had my full time
attention on the Internet diverted.

The spooky feeling I get is that the world seems to
have disappeared in the three years I have been pushed
off the Net.

People won't participate.

People won't encourage other people.

People won't give donations.
(In the past three years, I have received three
donations via the Internet ... in that time many
millions of people have benefited from the information
I left on the Net and duplicated at perhaps 200+
other websites.... not a very good 'energy exchange',
is it?)

It feels like 'The Nothing' has rendered people useless.

It looks like people are lost in The Matrix.

I think the massive Chemtrail Spraying has perhaps
made most people even more apathetic than they were
three years ago.

Perhaps that is why the World Gathering 25/26 August
2007 would be important .... to help people waken up
again. And to warn the world about the 'Nothing'
spraying......

As the late Hopi elder Dan Evehema said:
We must unite for our SURVIVAL.

But .................... NO donations so far.

Attempted Bombing of Central London

WE WANT A TANK, WE NEED A TANK, HELP THIS GOOD CAUSE!

2007-06-29T06:51:46Z

WE WANT A TANK, WE NEED A TANK, HELP THIS GOOD CAUSE!

Who are the Space Hijackers?

The Space Hijackers are a bunch of misfit troublemakers who have been
kicking up a storm since 1999. We have held parties for 3000 people
on the
London Underground circle line, we have tricked Nike Town into a half
price sale by printing our own “EVERYTHING INSTORE HALF PRICE TODAY”
T-shirts and tidying up. We have bought a boat and invaded an island in
the Docklands in London to host a pirate party and we have smashed the
Capitalists for six in our midnight Anarchist Vs Capitalist cricket
tournaments.

What’s this all about?

There comes a time in every activist groups development when they
realise
that there is something missing in their set up. We have been
striving to
cause trouble, save the world and wind up the powers that be for 8 years
now. However we still don't own a tank, or indeed any kind of armoured
personnel carrier.
Please help us right this wrong.

Why do you need a tank?

Every two years the ExCeL exhibition centre in East London plays host to
DSEi, Europe’s largest arms fair. Representatives from all of the major
arms manufacturers pimp their wares to rogue states, impoverished
nations
and invading armies with the full support of the UK government. In fact
the police firearms squad tried to raid the fair in 2005 only to be
turned
back by the government.

On the last two occasions we have attempted to infiltrate the fair,
embarrass the dealers and cause a ruckus. In 2003, we caught the
trains to
the fair with the arms dealers. Suited up and looking business-like we
pulled prosthetic limbs (arms) from our cases and attempted to sell them
to the dealers. In 2005, worried about their obsession with phallic
objects such as rockets we attempted to sell sex toys to the dealers to
make up for their lack of “weapons capabilities”. Generally however
we are
escorted out by the police.

This year we have decided to take things up a notch or ten. We want
to buy
a tank, we want to drive it into the arms fair! We don’t want to be
shoved
around by burly policemen any more. Can’t really say much more at the
moment, but you get the gist.

What about after the Arms Fair?

Assuming they haven’t tested their anti tank missiles on us. We are an
enterprising group, with mischief simply brimming out of our beer
fuelled
brains. We have many many many plans for the tank in the future,
especially once we have kitted it out with a full sound system (which
has
already been donated!)

How can I help?

You can help by lending us one of your tanks if you have any spare.
You can help by offering us free secure parking for our tank.
You can help by lending us your mechanic skills to turn our gas guzzler
into a bio diesel green tank.

Of course the simplest way of helping is by giving us a small amount of
money towards the tank or by passing this email on to your rich mates
and
getting them to donate us a slightly larger amount of money.

Another London Lad (sort of)

2007-06-27T11:04:06Z

Well, I'm visiting from CA (starting a year-long adventure in Europe), but I'd be honored to call this great city my home. Just joined this tribe and wanted to say hi. I'm looking for musicians, open mics, music scenes, new friends, interesting art, zen-esque satsongs and meditation groups, and tips on busking on the London streets. I also stilt walk, so I may be looking for a miracle in the way of a wood shop to make some new stilts. Anyway, talk ta me! (and check me at elisalzman.com if ya like).

Londeners, I recently got a chance to visit your beautiful city... Even though I never got to meet anyone from this site, I was still amazed at it's beauty and century upon century of building monuments on this most beautiful place in Europe. I grew up reading Peter and Jane, and living with many Brits, and reading books on their homeland...Needless to say I was delightfully impressed and thank you for your genorosity to us Tourists. I've littered this site with a few pics I thought interesting from my trip. You may see more at this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/90091158@N00/

Cachaça Gabriela - Organic

2007-01-16T14:22:22Z

Cachaça Gabriela - Organic

Cachaça Gabriela is my name. Explaining: cachaça is the same of spirit, schnaps, eau de vie. That's a brazilian name for the spirit made from the sugar cane juice. Typical from Brazil.

But, I'm better than the cachaças I know you already know: I'm organic and artisan made.
That means that we follow the principles to being totally integrated with the environment. Plants are grown without any kind of chemical products giving the sugar cane full organic status. And the way I am produced is really similar to an art: we have to have patience and wait for my right time to drink: at least one year I rest at brazilian's wood barrels: jequitibá-rosa, amburana, bálsamo, amendoim.

Hey Guys and Gals, American here, going to UK for the first time in March.....IF you could go on a day trip out to the country where would you go?? I am travelling with 3 others and wish to enjoy the iconic English countryside for a day--but dislike overly touristy locations, already thought about Stonehedge--WHAT BRAVE MEN ARE YOUR THOUGHTS???

Well, I have so say that as touristy as it is, Stonehenge really is worth seeing. London Walks does a nice day trip which includes Stonehenge and Salisbury.

Re: Favorite Day Trip out of London
Yesterday, 2:00 PM
If you want to head out about an hour and half you have Oxford or Cambridge. Winchester and St Albans are also worth visiting as they're often both overlooked and very, very pretty. I've organised day trips for different groups, so if you're interested in info about places, just ask.

St Albans is one of my favourite places near to London and a Roman town to boot. I organised a day-trip to show a group of twenty or so people the city, which also incorporated a pub crawl. The one criteria for the pub crawl was that none of the pubs we went to could be built after the 17th Century. We visited seven or eight as we toured the city. Below was the invite:

---------
St Albans is one of the oldest and smallest cities in England and less than 20 minutes from London. It was formerly the Roman city of Verulamium (founded in AD43 and situated on the River Ver), and before that Verlamion, home of the Celtic, Catuvellauni tribe). It was destroyed by Boudicca, the Queen of the Icini (and Courtney Love’s inspiration) in AD61 but then rebuilt (otherwise, there’d be no point in us going).

Apart from the Roman settlement which includes a hypocaust and the (only?) excavated Roman theatre in Britain (AD 180), one can track St Albans development through its Saxon (in origin) market place, which will be open on the day; its Norman and gothic cathedral; medieval moot (meeting) hall and Tudor coaching inns like the White Hart with lots of other more recent historic buildings.

We will try to visit some these sites and also the Verulaneum museum, some local art galleries, the Fleur-de-Lys Inn (where King John of France was detained for a time in 1356 by the Black Prince), and Ye Old Fighting Cock pub (for lunch or dinner: good food and the building is listed by the Guinness Book of World records as the oldest continually licensed pub in Britain).

In terms of the literary, St Albans is where the magna carta was drafted; but also where the poet William Cowper spent eighteen months in St. Albans in 1764-65, partly in an institution for the mentally afflicted; and the inspiration for the original house Dickens had in mind when writing his novel, Bleak House. St Albans has also been home to Nicholas Breakspear (the only English pope), Francis Bacon, Stephen Hawkings, and let’s not forget David Essex.

Re: Favorite Day Trip out of London
Today, 3:12 AM
if your looing fr iconic english country then be in it! i often take a train with bike out of city and cycle to coast... godalming to arundel for example... classic english country... patchwork fields, rolling hills (nothing hard...all very gentle) beautiful villages, thatched cottages, chruches with ancient yew's, flooded woods, heathland, country homes and country lanes, castles even! and then the joy of arriving at the sea! a real prize! then pop on train back to london! fab!

ive also done this to brighton...alternative, creative "london-on-sea" shopping in the lanes, the pavilion...the piers... best vegi restaurant in the south east:) there is some great bike routes to oxford and along the thames estuary towards suffolk. this is a fantastic way to see the counrty and avoid the tourist hells.

canterbury is also a nice classic day out!? the new forest, the white cliffs... how do stately homes grab you? gardens?

at the end of tha day you need to know what you want.. then youll find it.

Re: Favorite Day Trip out of London
Today, 9:01 AM
Thanks Bobster, Hatfield and Drayek! Your insight was really good! Bobster would you be organizing any of these tours the week of March 14th? My friends and I love good beer and your tour sounds great. Y'all know how to make a tourist feel welcome--That's one thing even the Japanese said about England--The weather isn't that good but the people are so nice and friendly.

favorite gripe about london?

2006-11-16T21:32:53Z

so just had to drop this in. 5 of mine are:

car drivers who competely ignor cyclists and traffic laws and pollute the hell out of the city! white van man, cabbies, dispatch riders, 4x4 drivers, and...

bendy buses that are dangerous and badly diven. p.s was standing by a new hydrgen bus the other day breathing in... water vapour! wow! fab

people who bitch about how polluted the river is, or how bad the food is... where do they go?... angus steak house and greesy spoons?

litter, why do people drop litter? i caught some kids throwing it out of a car window last week. it was at red lights so i picked it up and knocked on the drivers window. i told him what had happened and he just shrugged his shoulders and said whatever. so i told him to tell his kids its a disgusting habit and that maybe they should litter their home/car in the same way. i then threw the rubbish on his legs. rude i know but really!

final gripe... surburbs...:) i did my time there... why do they exist?

favorite spot on the river? bridge? view?

2006-11-12T10:04:17Z

just joined and as a local who lives in vauxhall, home of the old pleasure gardens... now more famous for the hq of MI6... its also one of the few places with a beach of sorts, where duck tours come in and out of the river...

i love it here because of the view towards parliament/eye one way and battersea power station the other. you can watch the wildlife, look around and find wierd treaures... being the site of lambeth stairs... a long gone pier where pleasure garden revelers would disembark and drop things... silver keys, rings and so on... like you do!

its also the site of the remains of a 12,000 yr old bridge that is a little known london secret...

i just love this moody river with its swirling brown muds... its so evocative...

my favorite bridge is lambeth... just because its small and on my bicycle route into town, my favorite view is from waterloo bridge... the whole city is laid out for you!

My First Halloween party in London!!!

2006-11-02T13:48:25Z

Hi everyone.

I have been so inactive on this site so I thought I would reach out. Yes yes, who the heck am I anyway? Well, after being a Tribe.net member for a number of years now and going through some trials and tribulations I am back.
I am Canadian and have been living in London for the last year. I know few of you. That sucks. Its my fault. I just needed the time to get my life in order and being online was not easy.
So whats the deal?
Well, I am throwing a Halloween party and want you to come. Yes, my Tribe friends and those of you who don't know me yet. Why not, right? There are always these get togethers I hear about on here. I figured, I'll just have one at my house. I am leaving this invitation open to you all. I will leave the details here but I hope for the sake of meeting more people and having a good time, you will come. I have so far invited many work friends and friends I have made in the last year including those friends of theirs. Should be a good one.

The Date: October 28th (Saturday night)
Time: Sometime after 6pm
I live in Finsbury Park. Its on the Victoria and Piccadilly tube lines north zone 2.
Im at 15A Finsbury Park Road. To find it you can just go into www.streetmap.co.uk and type in my postal code. N4 2LA
It will be a 3 floor one backyard party. You MUST have a costume. It seems my friends have also arranged 2 dj's to come and perform. This detail I will confirm for any of you who really need to know but there will be much music there anyway.
It is a BYO-Whatever makes you dance and smile but not stupid and violent party.

So, please bring yourselves, your friends, and your good spirits. If you need to get hold of me then just give me a ring: 07799826628

Bye for now my friends.

Multi-Event Meet-Up Saturday 12th August

2006-08-11T11:45:07Z

If you're at a loose end tomorrow and would like to meet some of your fellow Londoners (in fact they come from all over the world) join us for one or all of the following:

1. Breakfast at Konstam Cafe at 10.00 am
(hosted by Marco)
109 Kings Cross Road
WC1X 9LR
Tel: 020 7833 2615

http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/FILELOAD?Filename=tfl_44DC168D16.pdf

2. Tate Britain (NOT the Tate Modern): Visit to the Constable exhibition at 11.45 am
(hosted by Bobster)
Millbank
London SW1P 4RG

http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/information/gettinghere.htm

Meet at the side entrance (Atterbury Street) and visit the exhibition (it is paid, so have your student cards, etc if you want to go through). Otherwise the Tate Britain collection is quite wonderful and not a bad way to kill an hour. We'll then meet up and head to Hyde Park

3. Picnic in Hyde Park from 1.30
(hosted by Tess)
Serpentine Road
Hyde Park

http://www.royalparks.gov.uk/docs/park_maps/hyde_park.pdf

Head for the Boathouse (NOT the Lido) on the north side of the Serpentine Lake. There are drinks/sandwiches and ice cream stalls there. With your back to the Boathouse look for a group of seven or eight trees beyond the three trees on the other side of the road. This is where I suggest we meet.

There's a space for games, you can hire a boat and go out on the Serpentine and there's some cover if there's a shower.

Message me for my mobile number.

Reliable Active Trading Systems

2006-06-15T22:54:13Z

People live their lives in fear of money.

We are experiencing a global market meltdown.

How can people make consistent profits without depending on the beached whale public institutions?

There is only one answer.

Active trading in the currency and commodities markets with a high probability of profit.

I discuss this subject at great length in the blog on my website.

http://www.dcgfinancial.com

This is not a sales pitch because I have nothing to sell.

Financial advice is exactly that. It is advice.

When you learn for yourself that my advice is superior to that of others. When you learn that you can make more money with your money than a registered Merril Lynch financial advisor like my wife.

Then we may discuss compensation .

No contract, no lawyer, no corporate fraud.

This is the independent currency market research of one person hereby offered to another.

I am not a licensed broker. I am a trader, a programmer and a statistician. I solve problems using the scientific method.

Maturity is the ability to make decisions based on your own thoughts information. Don't you think it is about time we take a more mature approach to money? Don't you think that as an adult subject to the tides of the markets you should have a clear understanding of all of the financial markets?

I do. I want to share this with you. Because you are a resident of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area and that is my community. When the community is at risk its members must come together in the defense of the community. The San Francisco Bay Area is filled with people with great minds and decent incomes. People with mediocre minds and towering financial powers want to remove us from our income.

Successful currency traders are the robin hoods of finance. We are literally making money by predicting the emotional behavior of the major banks. Let's do this.

http://www.dcgfinancial.com

Start the discussion that can afford you the rest of your life.

After social security is gone, after the market has crashed, after your IRA is stolen and after the dollar has lost all its value on this planet earth, good traders will still be making money make money.

What's it like to live in London?

2006-05-11T08:16:33Z

I've always wanted to spend a few years in Europe. I've traveled a lot but being a tourist you get a very shallow picture of what you're seeing. Beautiful scenery, architecture, postcard stands and a few beat-up legends about this or that don't really tell you much about the people and the culture.
When an opportunity at work came up to come to London for a few years I jumped on it right away :) Although it's a bit scary to move again, I think change is always good.

One thing I'm a bit afraid of is my addiction to complete and absolute comfort. You get spoiled living in the US you know? Everything is so easy you hardly have to think! The luxury of having a huge apartment, a personal car, a grocery shop accross the street, work right around the corner, less crime, glass doors everywhere that don't get locked, perfect wide highways, gas stations on every intersection, clean public restrooms everywhere you go, customer-oriented economy...

Not that I can't live without all that - I grew up in St.-Petersburg, Russia and saw the exact opposite of the American style of life.

So what's your typical day like? What do you hate the most and love the most about your life in London? How does "the system" work? What are the social boundaries? Who's rich? Who's acting rich? Who's down to earth? Who's desperate?
If you have a minute, please give me a high-level overview of what it's like to live in London using your own life as an example.
Hope i'm not asking too much :)

Hi everyone

A long shot...help me if u can...Jamie-lived at Huntingdon House

2006-03-29T22:33:35Z

I am looking for a beautiful lad named jaime whom I met in about 1994 at a club at The Arches called Megatripolis-at the time. He lived in a place called Huntingdon House (while his flat was being painted) at the time that was quite nice-like a hotel...He was in his early twenties then and had Gaultier cologne in his lavatory...He gave me and my friend "Budgie" some E and we spent the night at his house. In the morning, we americans felt odd and left for our hotel never to see jamie again. But we had one extremely enjoyable night together and I would LOVE to find him one of these years. He was average height, light browne/dark blonde hair (back then) If you know him....Hook me up with his #, I live in L.A> now--He will proabably barely recall the american blonde he took home with him named Erica....Ask anyone you know...If only I had a last name! I want him to come to L.A. for a visit!

Americana, rockabilly, roots, country, cowgirl/boys - Londoners doing or liking or loathing

2006-03-26T01:28:57Z

Anyone else in London doing or liking these?

Just how big is the Americana scene or new wave(??) of rockabilly/roots/alt.country/westernia in the UK? Anybody else feeling that there's growing or renewed interest here in spite of a fairly general anti- feeling surrounding US/Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan situation and misgivings about 'cultural imperialism' etc

Maybe a bit heavy kinda topic on a rainy Sunday morning, but I got to thinking about this while listening to an alt country web radio station while browsing through tribes postings from 'Lefties who like country', catching up on newsletter reading (the fuss about "Brokeback Mountain", especially) and hearing from some Goth friends in Dorset who are also into artists such as Shawn Harvey, Bonnie Prince Billy and The Handsome Family - and Nine Inch Nails (Some cultural crossovers there!) Gothabilly, anyone? Or does that sound too much like an advertising bod's next big idea for a genre that can be manufactured and marketed for our consumption?

Not entirely silly question: If there is Americana (e.g. stuff mentioned above), is there Canadiana?

OK - g'night now

Olga

P.S. Fairly new to tribe, so hope this cross-posting (?) - I've put this discussion posting at UK Network tribe too - doesn't count as spam-type posting. (Just me being a bit lazy & wanting to get views of other Brits and Anglophiles etc)

something extremely funny

2006-03-16T19:03:10Z

Below is a copy of a letter that won a competition in UK as complaint letter of the year...have a laugh and read on.
Complaint Letter of the Year. The British do have a way with words.... A real-life customer complaint
letter sent to NTL (to their complaints dept....)

Dear Cretins,
I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for
your 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone. During this
three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific details,so that you can either pursue your professional perogative, and seek to rectify these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you can
have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working
day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office:
My initial installation was cancelled without warning, resulting in my
spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your
technician to arrive. When he did not arrive, I spent a further 57
minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more
annoying Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful
website....HOW? I alleviated the boredom by playing with my testicles for a few minutes
- an activity at which you are no-doubt both familiar and highly adept.
The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later,
although the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools -
such as a drill-bit, and his cerebrum. Two weeks later, my cable modem
had still not arrived. After 15 telephone calls over 4 weeks my modem
arrived... six weeks after I had requested it, and begun to pay for it.

I estimate your internet server's downtime is roughly 35%... hours
between about 6pm -midnight, Mon-Fri, and most of the weekend. I am
still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made 9 calls on my
mobile to your no-help line, and have been unhelpfully transferred to a
variety of disinterested individuals, who are it seems also highly
skilled bollock jugglers.
I have been informed that a telephone line is available (and someone
will call me back); that no telephone line is available (and someone
will call me back); that I will be transferred to someone who knows
whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been cut off);
that I will be transferred to someone (and then been redirected to an
answer machine informing me that your office is closed); that I will be
transferred to someone and then been redirected to the irritating
Scottish robot woman...and several other variations on this theme.
Doubtless you are no longer reading this letter, as you have at least a
thousand other dissatisfied customers to ignore, and also another one of
those crucially important testicle-moments to attend to. Frankly I don't
care, it's far more satisfying as a customer to voice my frustration's
in print than to shout them at your unending hold music. Forgive me,
therefore, if I continue.
I thought BT were shit, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of godawful customer relations, that no-one, anywhere, ever, could be more
disinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service to
their customers. That's why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn't
anyone else is there? How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered
to my considerable dissatisfaction and disappointment what a useless
shower of bastards you truly are. You are sputum-filled pieces of
distended rectum incompetents of the highest order.
British Telecom - wankers though they are - shine like brilliant beacons
of success, in the filthy puss-filled mire of your seemingly limitless
inadequacy. Suffice to say that I have now given up on my futile and
foolhardy quest to receive any kind of service from you. I suggest that
you cease any potential future attempts to extort payment from me for
the services which you have so pointedly and catastrophically failed to
deliver - any such activity will be greeted initially with hilarity and
disbelief quickly be replaced by derision, and even perhaps bemused
rage. I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my
cats litter tray, as an _expression of my utter and complete contempt for
both you and your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not
become desiccated during transit - they were satisfyingly moist at the
time of posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did
not experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them
the very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and its worthless
employees.
Have a nice day - may it be the last in you miserable short life, you
irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of twats.

FROM LONDON TO BAGHDAD...

2006-03-13T23:53:28Z

MARCH 18

Assemble 12 noon Parliament Square

Saturday 18 March will be a unique day of protest against the US / UK occupation in Iraq. The protests already planned in over 40 towns and cities across the world will be joined by mass demonstrations in Baghdad and in Basra, all calling for "Troops Out of Iraq".

The Iraqis marching in Baghdad and Basra will be uniting with protestors in Amsterdam, Ankara, Athens, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Boston, Copenhagen, Denver, Dublin, Geneva, Helsinki, Istanbul, Jakarta, Karachi, Lisbon, Ljubljana, London, Madrid, Managua, Manila, Melbourne, Memphis, Minneapolis, Montreal, New York, Odense, Oklahoma, Ottawa, Seoul, Stockholm, Sydney, Tarragona, Toronto, Vancouver, Vienna, Warsaw, and many other towns and cities. (To keep up to date with the list of international demonstrations, go to: www.stopwar.org.uk/march20/

Across Britain, meetings, street stalls, film shows and other events are being organised to help build support for the London demonstration. To get involved, contact your local Stop the Group (email the national office for contact details: office@stopwar.org.uk).

Coaches to bring demonstrators to London are now being booked in most UK areas, with new details being posted daily on the Stop the War website at:
www.stopwar.org.uk/new/Tran...odemo.htm
If no coach is listed for your area, contact the Stop the War Office and we will put you in touch with your local group to find out transport arrangements.

Please spread the information about the demonstration as widely as you can among your family and friends, in your workplace and community. March 18 is the third anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq, which has been opposed consistently by the majority of British people, millions of whom over the past four years have been actively involved in what is the biggest protest movement in British history.

No one should be able to say after March 18 that they were not on the demonstration because they did not know about it. Leaflets, posters, stickers and badges publicising the demonstration are available from the national office now. To order:
Email office@stopwar.org.uk
Telephone 020 7278 6694

I heard The Jam are reuniting

2005-12-25T13:15:36Z

And playing 5 nights at The Royal Albert Hall. Anyone else hear about it? Mick Talbot is opening and playing all the songs he wrote himself while in The Style Council! So, that's like 4 or 5 songs and they all have "Mick" in the title. I love that Paul Weller would throw Mick a bone once in a while.
