Since it was privatised, Royal Mail has shut more than 50 delivery offices and more closures are threatened as the company seeks to reduce costs.

WorldbyStorm - 10:04 Sun Dec 16, 2018 I missed the sale of tickets for New Order at TCD this coming Summer, which is a pity. Caught them in the mid 2000s and would love to see them again, particularly with Gillian Gilbert who was AWOL during the last decade (though Peter Hook left them earlier this decade and no sign of him […]A

WorldbyStorm - 14:51 Sat Dec 15, 2018 I was reading about the Apollo 11 crew the other day, did you know Neil Armstrong staged two musicals in college – using others music but new lyrics? I sometimes wonder about Aldrin. How does one assimilate the knowledge one walked on the Moon. Is it always there, do you think about it every day? […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:41 Sat Dec 15, 2018 Updated for the 21st century…The Case of Charles Dexter Ward… as the blurb notes: From H.P. Lovecraft: An investigation into the disappearance of a young man from a locked room. Listened to the first few and it’s kind of fun.A
WorldbyStorm - 09:41 Sat Dec 15, 2018 Anyone seen this? It?s on Starz cable channel in the US and I?m not sure if it?s been shown on this side on anything other than some of the Sky bundles. But it?s a pretty great spy thriller crossed with parallel universe thriller and with a fantastic central performance by JK Simmons and a range […]A
WorldbyStorm - 07:41 Sat Dec 15, 2018 Been listening a lot to Belly?s third (count ?em – third) album, Dove, related this very year, the first in two decades. It comes complete with the near enough original line-up, Tanya Donelly, Thomas Gorman, Chris Gorman and Gail Greenwood (who replaced Fred Abong after the first album). In the meantime Tanya Donelly has released […]A

MacSimoin joined as a young man the Official Republican Movement (Sinn Fein). Alan was central in the Murray Defence Committee in 1976-77 to stop the state execution of Anarchists Noel and Marie Murray for the killing of a member […]A
WorldbyStorm - 11:29 Fri Dec 14, 2018 Gewerkschaftler suggested this recently: I suggest this blog should have a regular (weekly) slot where people can post happenings at the personal or political level that gives them hope that we?re perhaps not going to hell in a handbasket as quickly as we thought. Or as the phlegmatic Germans put it ?hope dies last?. Any […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:36 Fri Dec 14, 2018 It was somewhat heartening that the protests organised by Tommy Robinson (or should one say Yaxley-Lennon and by the by he’s a man with a remarkable number of names he’s used) were dwarfed by counter-protests. According to the UK Independent 2,000 people turned up at the former. Interesting that the pro-Brexit right was unable to […]A |
