If you like the idea (re first link) but don't want the gig really - please donate to me!:D
I think this may be up Andi's street? Hey, someone could even find a Harper and ask a question! Kill two birds with one debate.

Mmmmm...looks mouthwateringly interesting! First two links working but not the third for some reason on a sunny Sunday morning in the green pastured gardens of England.
May be able to nab some pissed down South personage in Clon in September? Mike Peters would be a good target as heard him being interviewed all the way down the Rhonnda mountain without pausing for breath.
The Harper's politics stall is laid out for all to see through their maze of amazing lyrics and songs anyway. There's not much more about any subject that Roy [especially] could further elucidate without sounding repetitive methinks. I would like to press him a bit futher about Spiritualism and whether he really is an out and out cynic, like Richard Dawkins, because some of his answers over the years have sounded ambivalent vacillating between hazy blurs of agnosticism and stoical atheism. To maintain such rigor at the moment of your death is probably the real test of what you hope to believe and take with you. And anyone who is a non faith believer would have to prove to me that they really have investigated it and not just adopted a remote philosophical trendy braveness in their stance. Nought to do with politics please or choosing BNP over the other leviathan dinasours in the Palace of Westminster.
The lumbering pantechnicon of love & politics
My broken wings
World on a string
Love as a yo-yo
Moon a stick
Careful that's my****k!
Watch out here come the Feds!
Waves on water beds
Ho ho ho ho!
Pie in the sky
Keep a sharp eye
Hot air in my head
Unmade lonely bed
Keep on trucking
Don't forget ****ing
Fashions of passion
Times are passing
Power of touch
Life's too much
Sometimes in my minds
Hard to find
On the moment
Drifting peacefully away
The ghost of Rupert Murdoch
Haunts my sanity
Pubic profanity
Page three politiks
Thick as a brick
Tilting at windmills
Tittivations
Spinal nerve creep
Blue oceans deep
Within my soul
Somewhere whole
The man who ruled
The world absurd
Pray for me
In the heat of the desert
Of my compassion
And all the hungry children
On this planet ignored
Umbilical chord
Anonymous
Synonymous
Mice on treadmills
Going round and round
What have we found?
Tall trees laying on down
Buried in trenchs
By pretty young wenchs
Waiting for Jonny soldier
To return from the battlefield
Called life
Another lonely
Bereavement of a wife

If the Stock Market keeps going up I should be able to give up the diurnal mundanity of it all once and for all!

One of the last posts from there was that Barclays won't let them (Instigate Debate) open an account as they deem them 'inappropriate'!!!!!!

Wobbly, did you also see my 'Last gig went to' posts?
I love how Rev takes time to post to his own forum - and the free fan gigs he put out on there. Didn't know about that. Nice gesture.

Music is a healthy science for all involved.
Hard to sound original these days. Unless there's a new musical vibe around the corner we ain't detected yet?

Just before he went over to Europe last week for the tour, Jon was up the House of Commons. Guess what he did whilst there? Yep, smoked a spliff! :biggrin: I don't know sometimes whether to grin or frown at some of the things he does and says.

I had a 'friend of a friend' who used to work in the H of P. She never had to buy the hash she smoked, she would literally pick it up from a certain part of the H of P where it had been left by certain members.
Did you see the recent programme about MP's travel expenses? Those buggers get around the world more than I :D (nicer hotels too :wink:)... and for free. (w@nkers)
