To be honest I don't think it's the funniest thing I've said. I think that was a lie.

I have an unanswered question

i'm getting to you.

In 1981 the first Thatcher-led Tory government was deeply unpopular. The monetarist policy they were pursuing was having catastrophic economic effects, unemployment was rising to unprecedented levels and riots were breaking out all over the country. Meanwhile as the Labour party lurched to the left some split from it and formed the SDP. Polls during that time were notoriously volatile, but Labour was generally ahead of the Conservatives and for a brief period the SDP were the most popular party in the country. In 1982 the Falklands effect saw Thatcher's popularity soar and the Tories gained a landslide victory in 1983. After this they embarked on a massive programme of privitisation, hugely curbed union powers and defeated the NUM in a lengthy and bitter battle, and introduced market-led economic reforms that radically changed the face of Britain. Were the changes that took place in Britain in the 80s and 90s a historical inevitability or would the country be a very different place now if the Falklands War had never happened and either Michael Foot's Labour or David Owen's SDP had won the 1983 election? If the latter, how? (no detailed answers, please, just glib ones)

We would all be dyeing our clothes grey and shouting at books.

Will you now accept that your past writings on the Welfare State were, at best, misguided?

Have you ever considered trying to have a novelty hit by covering The Specials' Do The Dog with all of the lyrics translated into Latin?

I've attemped to give you a headstart in this project by translating part of the chorus, but the results (Operor canis ( non donkey )) lead me to suspect the internet translator is defective. Surely there were donkeys in roman times and surely the Latin word for donkey wasn't "donkey"?

ah man I know this

Donkey - Wikipedia, the free en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey
The donkey or ass, Equus africanus asinus

Yep, donkey = asinus

tu stultior quam asinus est

Could you quickly rattle off the rest of the song too, just in case he wants to go ahead with this idea?

I am terrible at grammar, but my attempt at the chorus:

Facere in canus, facere in canus
Facere in canus, nolite asinus facere

It's a hit!

Wooo! Statim sera sentio ambulavero in periculo. Si ego me intueris puellam quandam a omnino alienus.

Which was your favourite caramel shop?

it was so long ago and i have visited so many in my time that i don't remember.

downloaded any good albums recently, dog latin?

Nah.

You?

by a band

i heard a band

yeah, the barenboim/boulez recording of the liszt piano concertos, lee gamble's new album, and the new richard pinhas / tatsuya album

i suspect you might like the lee gamble album

i tried a lee gamble compilation once and it kind of sailed over my head. but i read a good interview with him in the Wire later that made me think I ought to give him another go. I have very similar feelings about Kassem Mosse - just waiting for the right time and place.

I Didn't download albums, but I did get this through the post today (as mentioned on the outernational thread). http://www.soulbrother.com/shop/spiritual-jazz-vol-5-2/

Haven't listened to it yet but it look interesting.

I love Soulbrother records, I think I started a thread on that label.

That comp is quite good. Only given it a cursory listen. Might have been expecting a bigger 'world' influence as it's largely impossible to tell which country each track originates from without reading the sleevenotes.

the title / opening post in this thread is excellent, much better than it would have been if you got your code right

Wayne Rooney

(re op) What do people think of a scene from a comedy script I've got in the works? was probably the best ilx ever, how you feeling about it as its 10 year anniversary nears?

Failing to type out Wayne Rooney in all different fonts vs Worst attempt at 'teh funneh' ever...? I'm just proud to have given ILX these gifts.

Kind of want to hear a Wiz Khalifa / Migos style track called Wayne Rooney now.

There were some amazing scripts in there, one day someone needs to make the portmanteau movie. Adam Sandler?

Did you ever manage to afford to travel abroad?

i've been abroad, never went 'travelling'. prob won't get to do any of that till retirement now.

What made you think of love and tears
