Re: FW: @Process -How "Terry Tate" got on the Web - Last Exit


Hi Rachel,

My suggestion would be to slice it all up, make the language contrary and
spew it back out as art...put back from whence it came - from hell....;-)

Re: Re: RHIZOME_RARE: soliciting thoughts on guidelines for rhizomeraw


Hi Sal,

I appreciate your intentions and agree with almost all of what you said. But
excuse my reluctance to totally agree for there are users on the raw list
who frequent it quite regularly using it as a platform, like myself for
displaying work - but when you get attacked personally by people
constantly, you get a bit bored with it. So I am feeling less anxious about
the loss of certain abusers...

London Riot Re-enactment Society


London Riot Re-enactment Society

Join the London Riot Re-enactment Society now!
just send an email to join

The London Riot Re-enactment Society will stage re-enactments of noted
riots from London's history, with some attempt at historical accuracy. You
are no doubt aware of the widespread popularity of historical re-enactment
societies, you may also be aware of moves to re-enact more recent events in
history. The London Riot Re-enactment Society was inspired by the idea that
we can re-enact not the distant past, but events that we remember and may
actually have taken part in. We have chosen define our re-enactment society
not by choosing a period of time, but by choosing a theme. We will tap
London's rich history of rioting, and make these riots live again, in our
re-enactments.
If you read a bit about the Gordon Riots or Wat Tyler's peasant revolt
you will see that the re-enactment of these riots will take vast numbers,
and a lot of planning or luck, so we may start with a smaller, more recent
riot, such as the Poll Tax riot. But don't worry, the numbers will grow, so
far 100% of Londoners who have heard about the LRRS have expressed an
interest in joining.

UGLY MIDIS


Worth a nibble...a truly tense site.

UGLY MIDIS

Welcome to the museum of the worst, botchiest, sickest and most dreadful mi=
di files haunting the Web! Everyone knows them, the jangling infestations s=
uddenly blasting on homepages or insidiously lurking in midi archives. This=
website is dedicated to them. You won't find any colorful giant pictures h=
ere, no hectically dithering animated gifs, no cool Flash intro. Only the m=
usic. And that's bad enough...

snooping despite mounting opposition.
A report from MPs on the All Party Internet Group, (APIG), recommended on
