  1. It as always expected that there would be trouble yesterday, so when trouble did start the police rightly went in with force to stop it escalating to uncontrollable levels.
  2. I went to Edinburgh on Saturday and it definitely wasn't a load of "generic swampy types". It was amazing to get over 200,000 people there and it was good that it went by without any trouble. The trouble yesterday was unfortunately expected, but it seemed to be dealt with quite effectively so scenes that we have seen at other anti capatilist protest were not seen this time.
  3. I thought that all the anti G8 protests were on the wednesday?
  4. One of the worst three films i've ever paid to see, a complete waste of time.
  5. Yeah I'm going to the make poverty history rally on saturday.
  6. yeah i'd like to know what he said as well, often these things turn out to be nothing but he is a drunken bum
  7. http://www.nme.com/news/112852.htm I hadn't heard about this before. Looks like his tendency to take to the satge completely pissed may have hurt him a bit this time.
  8. Has he ever done anything good though? (I've only heard spiderland and the zwan singles)
  9. ok, as you said if it ahd been reported, I would have expected a bigger deal to have been made of it.
  10. Is there any evidence that the bands are made in sweat shops? I agree on the bands being more about fashion than promoting any cause, although i think hte MPH ones are slightly better, at least most people know what cause they are meant to be for, unlike all hte other various coloured ones.
  11. Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV
  12. Swap around bloc party and the killers and you might be right, actually put the killers in the razorlight too shit to discuss category.
  13. Globe and under the hammer are both very cool, only bad point is that the globe can become very uncomfortable and hot when it is very busy for gigs. Although it doesn't often reach that level.
  14. 8o I hope he still plays reading
  15. I would say mediocre is the perfect word to describe hte foo fighters.
  16. Who was the first British solo female artist to have a UK number one album?
  17. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,15739502-13762,00.html Boffins create zombie dogs Eerie ... boffins have brought dead dogs back to life, in the name of science. SCIENTISTS have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans. US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years. Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution. The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity. But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock. Plans to test the technique on humans should be realised within a year, according to the Safar Centre. However rather than sending people to sleep for years, then bringing them back to life to benefit from medical advances, the boffins would be happy to keep people in this state for just a few hours, But even this should be enough to save lives such as battlefield casualties and victims of stabbings or gunshot wounds, who have suffered huge blood loss. Advertisement: During the procedure blood is replaced with saline solution at a few degrees above zero. The dogs' body temperature drops to only 7C, compared with the usual 37C, inducing a state of hypothermia before death. Although the animals are clinically dead, their tissues and organs are perfectly preserved. Damaged blood vessels and tissues can then be repaired via surgery. The dogs are brought back to life by returning the blood to their bodies,giving them 100 per cent oxygen and applying electric shocks to restart their hearts. Tests show they are perfectly normal, with no brain damage. "The results are stunning. I think in 10 years we will be able to prevent death in a certain segment of those using this technology," said one US battlefield doctor.
