Wow, how did Ireland get a day and an hour ahead of GMT?
Eamonn, I was with you 100% until I got to:
Just as it is not the fault of Europeans that
the vast majority of Americans would rather watch basketball than
soccer,
We Yanks consider this is a feature, not a bug ;-)
#include <std_"Team_sports_are_rubbish_but_soccer's_boring"_rant.h>
Now that techno is finally enjoying some
of the home support it has always deserved,
*Sputter* Whoa, who brought over the Crack pipe to Eamonn's
just as he was finishing his rant?
If Techno is "finally enjoying some of the home support",
I must never be visiting (much less living in) the places
where it's happening - from where I sit, Techno in the
States is basically on Life Support at this point. That's
partly why I want to kiss the ground when I go to Detroit
for DEMF/Movement - it absolutely dumbfounds me that such
an amazing event can take place on American soil, because
the culture is so dead (or dying) most everywhere else over
here. (I can only speak authoritatively for Los Angeles,
of course, but I do read event calendars for other cities
from time to time, and have noticed that the quantity of
events have uniformly decreased across the board with,
perhaps, only certain exceptions.)
But, otherwise, fair dinkum - cheers for that, Eamonn.
