Toryspotting
Do I need to explain myself? Probably.
Why is Theresa May playing pool?
"Gash . . . gadge"? What's with this strange language employed by people on a distant East coast with subpar football teams and collective inferiority complexes? Click on the link for the explanatory clip.

T-Shirt Spotting
Oh, I'm a sucker for a good political T shirt - and this one has definitely caught my eye - but wearing one in Brooklyn?
I should just get it over and done with and have 'wannabe hipster wanker' tattooed on my forehead.
Saying that, I do need some new T shirts. All my politcal T shirts are simultaneously disintegrating before my eyes. And that's even on a bastard cold wash. If this was a novel, I would read some significance into this current course of clothing events.
Back to the non-365Watch post in hand. The T shirt was found via Citizen Bone and comes courtesy of Sabcat, a newly established anarcho workers co-op based out of West Midlands, who specialise in printing T shirts of a political nature. (What else are you going to do in the West Midlands on a wet Wednesday afternoon? Makes sense to me.)
What would make even better sense is if they knuckle down and work on a Kingmaker 'Armchair Anarchist' T shirt in time for this year's London Anarchist Bookfair. That revival in interest in Kingmaker has been threatening to ignite for years, and it would be chucklesome to see some market forces in operation at an Anarchist Bookfair to force down AK Press's extortionate prices.

Eder in the playground
Official World Cup films. Bit shit, aren't they? I've not felt that bad since Linekar scored those penalties against Cameroon in 1990.
John Adshead seemed a bit of a character though.

"I haven't felt that good . .
. . . since Nakamura scored that free kick against Man Utd."
Absolutely superb. Why football is the best sport in the world. Injury time throws up the little matter of the ref bottling the penalty decision before the Kop End, only for Brian Howard to pop up seconds later with that sweet shot in the left hand corner.
Submit the drama of the game as a spec script and 'Escape To Victory' would be considered social realism by comparison. Could not make it up . . . could not make it up.
The Gasheads for the cup.
