Big welcome to Rowan, who's just signed up as our first new member! (applause). Rowan (reading off a card), you're an East Ender, keen on grime and drum and bass, church architecture, and Antonio Negri! That's fantastic (more applause)

(You'll see I bigged you up as an authority on new (Nu?) Goth trends, hence Rob's post. Don't feel that's all we've invited you on for, though...)

In the meantime, check out this campaign advert for Republican candidate Vernon Robinson for the upcoming Congressional elections - forget decent haircuts, this is what we want over here to spice up politics: "Brad Miller even spent your tax dollars to pay teenage girls to watch pornographic movies with probes connected to their genitalia. Brad Miller pays for sex, but not for body armor for our troops..." Tell it like it is, Vern! (Here's a link pointing out exactly where the lies are. All of this from plastic - top news-sourcing website.)
