At least now he's making an impact.

Also: Club UK and early 90s Ministry - 30 years ago God I feel old.

Those hot women you were partying with? A reasonable number of them are now grannies.

I doubt they'd be enamoured at how I turned out either

FFS! That was uncalled for!

SeOne for me, early 2000's, countless epic nights

Maybe Starmer can revive those nights. He's so cool.

For those of us lucky enough to be going out on the pingers to the afore mentioned list of salubrious night spots, and to our Northern Bretherin of the Sankeys, Hacienda, Shelley’s Lazerdrome, Nation, Republic Bugged Out, Bonds, up ye Ronsen, Back 2 Basics, Progress, Moneypennys, Cream, Gatecrasher, Renaissance fraternity... I truly believe up till Covid we experienced the peak of western civilisation and hedonism. Pre social media, post MDMA... truly the sweet spot.

Spot on.

The “influencers and instagrammed” have ruined it, and a whole lot of other things too.

Not being a twitterer or a bookfacer (etc) ITISWYM.

Influencers

Do the platforms mention sheep and rate them just as highly?

The problem with trying to avoid social media is that even if you never touch it, you will still feel the effects indirectly as the public use it a lot and it their usage of it influences / shapes organisations, businesses, institutions, policy, attitudes and behavior.

Anyhow, back to ths gentleman in question. Interesting article on the Guardian saying questions need to be answered (he said he gave his details to a PCSO, yet the Met have no record of this). We know he was driving. Had he been drinking? It would explain why he ran...

• No fking way was he drink driving, I would bet my car on it*

• I am not betting my car on it but I don't believe he was

Absolutely.

The parties before that. Meeting up at a car park, waiting for the phone call, then the mad dash to the warehouse or barn where everyone rushed to get in before the police blocked it off.
Partying till the next day where the only thing in common you had with the person next to you, who you had only met that night, being the music and the love of what was going on.
Absolutely no barriers, be it colour, gender, football team even, it was all just everyone there for the buzz. No aggression or any nasty vibe in the air, just a genuinely laid back time that was felt by all. Truly magical times.

Haha, it was the Milton/Cambridge raves I used to meet up for and you might be right, you're Cambridge way?

However...the couple of raves I went to up Machester/Liverpool way had some grannies back then. They were only 28-30 mind, but grannies none the less.

Here is a mix I did back in the early 90's.

I bet you will recognise some of these tracks......

As agw supporters will know, a detailed study of data involving 11 precipitation indices from 15 locations in the Peruvian Altiplano has revealed no evidence rising atmospheric CO2 has had any impact on precipitation in the region, replicating similar studies elsewhere. Somebody should tell climate model acolytes to adjust doomageddon hydrology assumptions before using gigo to advise politicians, using voodoo could be slightly better

Come again?

That's an impressive "off-yer-tits" level for 7am in the morning. Get some coffee turbo.
