My Times




Wandering the net for the Holy Grail, I stumbled across a trinket of mindless vanity. Babe Test
Try to score.

Here is a site that will soon be offering Online TV.

The CD Now internet record store has detailed artist recording information(and the easiest interface I've used on the web) at Jukebox
Here's a little help



Is it me or does there seem to be a rather large void in the music world at the moment? None of the new bands have very much depth. Maybe I'm wrong, but at least with artists from the past there's a "Greatest Hits" album!
Most peoples first albums tend to be a bit like that too!
Years of writing to sift through. Sometimes there's even enough for 2 albums.
Then they fade away....


Politics

I have but one question this week:
How can we end poverty without giving something up?


Motor Racing

It amazes me why Derek Bell didn't have someone watching the race at Imola for him. Sorry Derek, but it did sound like a "this is your life" program about Michael Schumacher. I wasn't at all surprised to see Damon Hill in the lead!
And wasn't that the golden boy Alesi, running into the back of Jacques' Williams, cutting his tyres and damaging the back end?
Will the motor sports press ever stop telling us how great the mad French/Italian really is?
If I were Flavio... he'd be on his bike!
Great drive Damon!

"The economic nationalism which has grown into as great an evil as our political nationalism has been engendered by a corresponding perversion of Industrialism working within the same constricting bonds of the parochial state."
