Home - Watch It

Post by JohnB »

I've just been watching this when I should be in bed! Everyone should see it, and think about it.

Bump. :shock:

I watched this again last night - I'd watched it not long after JohnB posted the link, way back four whole years ago. This is truly a wonderful piece of work. For those who haven't watched it, download the HD version. The camera work is awesome.

Not seen John about for while now..? Perhaps he was one of those undercover stooges keeping a watchful eye on hippies and malcontents.

I can assure you that JohnB is still around. Not only that, he's also looking for people to help him set-up his EcoVillage in Wales: http://www.eco-hamlets.co.uk/

There are several past posters are missed: Ludwig, woodburner, fifth column, keela amongst others.

A certain future past poster will not be missed at all; maybe its going will bring some sensible posters back.

Great fun, though I was kinda hoping it would sound like Starshit's song.

Nah, The Biscuit don't do covers of naff songs - they do make satirical songs that may take the specimen out them though!
When I saw them last year they did a cover of this though :)
