Great to hear UK Subs on the soundtrack of This Is England. They just happen to be playing a gig in Notts in a few weeks time if you want 'Warhead' live, it's for a good cause profits go to Cancer Research UK  The gig is part of the Grey Topper strory I've been working on for a year now (it's with Orion books at the moment so fingers crossed) www.angelfire.com/indie/united11/otherworldGT.htmlNow there's a real life East Midlands story that Shane Meadow's could make yet another great film about. Contact Tony Hill for info gordonhill76@hotmail.com More of my work can be seen at www.manutdbooks.com |

It’s psychedelic and mind altering man, to give you a vibe of the place, you dig? Nothing’s easy my man. ‘The hardest thing in the world to read’  ? You ever tried getting to the end of ‘Seven Pillars Of Wisdom’ by T.E. Lawrence, now that literally is like crossing a desert. |

bloody hell, very hard to explain. It sort of centers around the incandenza family and the tennis center one of the kids is at, also some people are getting addicted to these viewing cartridges, so much so they stop eating. Also the rise and fall of video phones that create such shame it leads to the rise of visual upgrades to alter the way you look on the video. And lots lots more. He mixes up languages, inventing some words im sure, its set in some wierd future, like the 70s but in the future if that makes sense.
