This England??? For all those who love England’s green-faced, unpleasant, bland…

April 30, 2007 – 6:01 pm

What’s that coming over the hill? Is it a drag queen? Is it a drag queen?

Funny, I don’t remember that episode.

the open source resistance meeting: edited footage

April 29, 2007 – 8:57 am

what really happened down there?

April 28, 2007 – 8:25 pm

 
It was the Sixties; nobody was straight enough to really keep track. Still, it was a horrible shock when I found out what had actually happened to the Beatles‘ famed Yellow Submarine.
