    Percy and Louis 50th Anniversary of Decriminalisation

    A few days ago it was the 50th anniversary of partial decriminalisation in the UK – the result of the famous Wolfenden Report, which was fallout over the Peter Wildeblood case. This is a great little video showing how being illegal to be gay affected 78 year old Percy, and the difference in how 13…

  • Meine Philosophie in Kurzgesagt

    Meine Philosophie in Kurzgesagt

    Pretty much my philosophy. I am an optimistic nihilist and a evidence-borne hopeful misanthrope (i.e. I don’t think the human race is automatically stupid, but they are currently on all evidence so far but I wish they weren’t).

    Pachelbel pwns the world

    When comes to Pachelbel’s Canon in D Minor it’s easier to say which songs WEREN’T influenced by it…Streets of London, Let It Be, Go West, I Should Be So Lucky (which I think rips another classical piece too), Don’t Look Back In Anger, Puff The Magic Dragon, No Woman No Cry, Men At Work –…
