    Just saw a link to a news item about Mobo awards...

    ...and it wasn't about Motherboard of the year.

    How disappointing.

      Howabout a music awards where racial colour is not relevant at all ?
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              Blimey, is Country Music still going ?

              The last time I heard some was back home when I was a lad, and Dad used to get out the Kenny Rogers vinyl albums and play them on the gramaphone.

              That was my cue to retire to my bedroom, and dig out my Slayer "Reign in Hell" vinyl album and crank it up to 11.

                It's huge in America because they have lots of rednecks, 'Gangsta' Hip-Hop is huge in the UK because we have lots of gang violence, shootings, stabbing, rapes, drive byes etc.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    But surely aren't chavs just UK rednecks?
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
