Was dragged along each year to watch it in the early 70s,then to watch Fulham afterwards
I confess that I watched it while sobering up between the afternoon pub session and the evening gin treat.
It was so crap I spent 15 min on AOS.
Surely that amounts to child abuse
Boat Race AND Fulham

How the fuck does any of this look like Bowie.
Perhaps if youâre from Aylesbury it does ?

Other towns clamouring for name changes will be Bromleybowie where he grew up and Brixtonbowie where he was born.
I just had a look at Bowieâs Wiki entry, couldnât see any reference to Aylesbury 
I guess thatâs what theyâre so worked up about.

An old one, I know.

Love it - I saw Penetration on that same tour, at Poole Arts Centre - great days, last days of childhood/before everything went to shit.

Interesting, but I think their timescale for the disappearance of evidence of us is much too short. Stuff lasts a very long time. We still have cave art which is many tens of thousands of years old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_painting and itâs actually in pretty good condition. Prehistoric stone tools have lasted for millions of years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_tool so why shouldnât monumental stone art or cut gemstones ? And without people it would be very difficult to explain the completely anomalous concentration of metallic gold which is the US bullion depository at Fort Knox
That said, these genuine (yes, really) prehistoric nuclear reactors were eventually explained.

Went to the penetration one as well,sadly it just kept kicking off
Interesting is that joy division didnât get mentioned as support on the flyer for the rezillos/undertones gig as they were still pretty much unknown

Love the Oklo article - always wondered why that didnât happen - turns out it did and I just didnât read around enough on the subject!
Industrial era humans have produced all sorts of artefacts that will last for billions of years - some will even withstand pretty high grade metamorphism. One hugely abundant if mundane item destined for a long future is the ceramic insulator on spark-plugs: designed to withstand an exceptionally harsh environment of heat, oxidation, corrosion, plasma, you name it, they are capable of being perfectly preserved in lava flows, never mind sedimentary rocks.
All that said, sedimentary rocks can and do preserve the most fragile of biogenic material for tens and even hundreds of millions of years, so things like paper, plastics, fabrics - even human soft tissue lagerstätte are already likely to be forming, most likely in shallow marine areas filled with rapidly-buried debris from natural disasters, e.g. the 2004 and 2011 tsunamis.

This kind of preservation isnât even especially rareâŚ

We are apparently hosting âThe Urban Weird 2018â
try as I might, when I look in the full programme
I cannot find the paper I submitted, entitled âThe Deluded Audiophile and the Fire of Fooâ
Popped into the village (walked the dogs) to use the cashpoint.
Stuck my card in, entered my PIN - screen goes completely black, card does not reappear.
After a while a white cursor appears.
After a LOT longer - I shit you not - the Windows98 startup screen appears!
After a LOT longer it finally reboots - âTHIS MACHINE IS OUT OF SERVICEâ
Eventually it did actually spit my card out.
Windows98 - no longer supported by Microsoft - no security updates in yearsâŚ
Yes folks, thatâs the system your bank is using to operate their cashpoint machinesâŚ
Fucking genius!

Iâm amazed youâve got cash machines tbh. Thought youâd still be on the barter system. That would explain how you ended up with those stupid woolly pony-giraffes.
