Reduced To A Couple
Oct 3rd
Once you fall in love, or get a girlfriend pregnant, you’ve got no chance, you’ve got responsibilities. There’s no way you can ever do anything. Once you’re reduced to a couple, alone together between your four walls with your TV set, you’re cut off. – Richey Edwards More ...
It Should Be On TV
Jul 20th
“I like the idea in “Archives of Pain” I took from Michael Foucault, when he advocates a return to nineteen-century values of execution and capital punishment. You know.

‘Cos You Are Scum
Jul 19th
But say if I was in a pub and someone attacked me, and I knew I’d done nothing wrong, I would quite happily take a beating without doing anything, and feel really superior. I would never hit somebody back if they hit me. If I’d done something wrong then it’s different. But if I was More ...

The One About the Garden
Jun 21st
