Friday Round-Up

Let's have a round-up, shall we? So much culture to share, of both the high and low varieties (OK, just low then and therefore NOT SAFE FOR WORK!). How about this affectionate tribute to the action comics of my youth to start off? Be warned: some of the language contained renders this NOT SAFE FOR WORK as I mentioned earlier. It is funny though. In a childish way.

A blog entry about the evils of Maggie Thatcher from the nice people at The Gallows? Here you go. They write funny things.

There is so much to see at the home of themanwhofellasleep you really won't know where to start. Tres amusant. I was immediately charmed by the title bar which says: "Three men walk into a pub. They are instantly killed," which says something about me. The links at the bottom of the page are from the top drawer (if you want my opinion which is, as I've said before, what you get here) and you shouldn't be surprised if a lot of them end up on this page somewhere.

Like here, for example. This link is probably a bit obscure for most of my beloved readers. It's devoted to retro gaming and things like the ZX Spectrum (a very early home computer that I owned and loved dearly) but I'll put it here all the same. There's an emulator so you can relive the days of rubbish games. Rose-tinted specs not included.

You want more? Go here for a nice bit of satire.

Allow me to finish with a moan. Today: NME.com. Considering its high standing in music circles why is their website so lame? Almost nothing works (for me anyway) and I can never find anything I'm after. I assume they're worried about the online presence eating into their circulation. Whatever, no time for a rant today - and besides it seems a bit trivial - but vote with your feet and don't visit them until they respond to my numerous anonymous complaints. Never liked NME anyway.
