A Canadian company is claiming to have developed a real invisibility cloak. If only this was cheap and available- think of the clothing possibilities. Maybe clothes that tweak your image, so you always look thin in them!!

This would appeal to urban hipsters over here in Portland, Oregon. Our least productive members of society always seem to take to the fashions of those who at least hint at working for a living. Dickies and Carhart are strangely popular brands for folks who would be better served by a nice bathrobe and some slippers.

You mean one can actually go too far in one’s devotion to Stalin? Blasphemy I say, in the name of all that is just and social. Or is that ‘social and just’?…

As far as I can tell, the German Red Army Faction took revolutionary chic to the point where the actual revolution was beside the point (and wasn’t actually desired anyway). All that remained was the chic and the killing people.

After that, anything in this vague direction is tired, I tend to think.

When I was a kid and coal miners still did coal mining stuff I always wanted a donkey jacket!

As Claire Berlinski reminds us in her excellent There Is No Alternative, at the height of his power Mr Scargill was being chauffeured to buy suits at Saville Row. All while denouncing the “obscenity” of private property.

Scargill must be using Doctor Who’s dimensional stabilizer to hold that part in place.

Dear Smite Control- i object to the increasing use of the word ‘bl**dy’. It is a swear word, and you should smite any and all items which use this word.
Thanking you in advance-

Careful there Alisa, your comment could be taken entirely the wrong way i.e passion!

No he is not a widower, he’s divorced. Lately (2001) from his spouse, well there’s only so much you can take isn’t there? And rather earlier from reality.

He is now in litigation against his own union over a grace and favour house plus pension in an industry that is practically non existent anymore in the UK.

No wonder he thought this was a documentary…

Could you imagine the reaction to a roll-out of a Margaret Thatcher clothing line? Would any company even think of the idea of having such a line?
