'Berkshire is Undervalued' seems to be referring to stock in Berkshire Hathaway, disappointingly.

I'm in Surrey, and Google search says 'Surrey is boring' - and I can't really argue.

you're antisocial if you find yourself on a warm March afternoon hooning full beer cans from the sixth storey at passers-by, including a 7 year-old boy, and also including ILX poster 'imago'. never called the police before, hope they get sorted propah

If you want to steer clear of trouble, remember there are rules that say what you can do and where you can go.

These rules are called 'laws' and are there to keep you safe.

By understanding what you can and can't do, you'll know whether you or your friends are being antisocial.

Antisocial means what you are doing is upsetting somebody else.

Hanging around - Some people don't like children playing, standing in groups or sitting outside their houses. Often if they don't know who you are they will think you're up to no good and may report you to the police. Choose a better place to be with your friends such as at a park, at an organsied activity or at one of your own houses.

I definitely remember the 'no hanging around' law coming into force. Ah, glory days.

fucksake

it's not a million miles away from being clear & useful advice, but strays the wrong side of condescending pedantry with no moral case beyond 'we are the law, you're vermin'

Print off your very own colouring in picture to remind you of the antisocial rules. Be creative and have fun!

i don't know where the verb 'to hoon' comes from, but i like to think it's in tribute to the man who said this:

Shortly after the US/UK led invasion of Iraq began in 2003, following an admission by the Ministry of Defence that Britain had dropped 50 airborne cluster bombs in the south of Iraq and left behind up to 800 unexploded bomblets, it was put to Hoon in a Radio 4 interview that an Iraqi mother of a child killed by these cluster bombs would not thank the British army. He replied "One day they might."

Longnewton is located in the north-east of England, and is situated almost directly in between the town of Darlington and city of Middlesbrough. The climate in this location is above average in comparison to other places in the regions. The reason for this is due to the position of the pennies to the west of the village. There is a more of a southern climate than other towns and cities due to the pennies being situated where they are.

Thorpe is of Danish extraction and means farm, Thorp, and Thewles was likely the name of a family that possessed land here in the Middle Ages: the earliest occurrence of the full name is 'Thorpp Thewles' in 1265. The surname Thewles probably comes from the Old English theawleas 'immoral', though the meaning of the placename is the Farm of the Thewles Family rather than, as sometimes reported, the Immoral Farm.

just read about Kingsnorth for the first time in the NY Times Mag. He seems authentically pessimistic and searching for the right way to remain true.
