Dept. of Vague Paranoia
Aah the Brits: “Public safety is the Government’s number one ten priority (the top three are reelection, kissing George Bush’s arse, and stopping Gordon Brown becoming PM). We must be prepared to deal with any emergency, whatever it is or … Continue reading

“Don’t miss your chance to spend a week cruising the caribbean featuring 3 of rock’s biggest artists, Journey, REO Speedwagon & Styx!” It’s masochism, Jim, but not as we know it.
