Brown corduroy dreams.

cassidy - very pre punk , early - mid 70s pop star / sartorial inspiration to LLeta ( possibly )
1978 - Sid dies

so : Sid dies, but LLetsa is still dressing like Cassidy 35 yrs later ( possibly ) , hence "sid didnt die so...blah blah "
So not sure what you mean....?

Have you never met Llettsa?

 

[cantsin]

Have you never met Llettsa?

no, pure conjecture

 

[U N Arrator]

the early-mid 70s were halcyon days fashion-wise I'm sure Lletsy, but it's time to let go. Sid Vicious did not die so the likes of you could still dress like David Cassidy as you approached your late 50's.

I'm not fifty yet-and a lot better looking than David Cassidy.

Think a young Brando crossed with Mark E. Smith circa 1989.

Waiting for a plane. Will be good to get back to London, where being left wing doesn't mean 'a capitalist who is in favour of gay marriage.'

It would be interesting to know exactly what it does mean nowadays.

Anything to the left of Pinochet.

I always pictured LLESTSA as looking like an weary Jon Hurt with a cane. Waving it at people as he denounces the futility of it all.

That's probably a description by somebody (ie. yourself) who loves you, what about a description provided by somebody a bit more hostile?

eg on a bad day I look like Heather off Eastenders crossed with Dawn French before the diet.

Every time someone tells a writer to 'get a thicker skin', I wonder how Keats would have managed in the age of the internet.

Interesting that Laura and chums protested at a Stonewall do a couple of years ago because of something Julie Bindel wrote.

Bindel was not, in the end, named 'Journalist of the Year' by Stonewall - the honour went to Dr Miriam Stoppard of the Mirror. But will someone please take Julie's pen away before she pokes her eye out with it? Today, in the Guardian, in a piece which contains not one scrap of research but a great deal of bile, she's having a little tantrum, telling the whole queer spectrum to go 'way and just leave normal people like her alone:

Spouting such paranoid filth in a national newspaper and then demanding not to be held accountable for 'hate-speech' would be funny if it didn't make me want to eviscerate the nearest Guardian editor.

It's all coming together.

It's amazing how many right-wingers suddenly become bastions of morality when there's a chance to bash a socialist institution.

The 'socialist institution' being the BBC

later clarified that because it's publicly owned it's socialist

 

[DotCommunist]

well stop being scottish then

 

[butchersapron]

I think an elected mmber of the bbc trust is a bit socialism.
