Ten Things The Far Side Doesn't So Much Like Today


I. Arty-uni types who use words like 'subjective' and 'theoretically' or say 'let me digress' and wear Che Guevara shirts.
II. Anybody who doubts that if we all listened to the 'Kings Of Convenience' we'd be happier.

III. Kids who try to make you spell that massive word from that movie ('Supercalafragafuckinlicious...' Bah!) or sing that 'I know you are you said you are' song.
IV. PeOpLe wH0 HaVe MsN NaMeS LiKe ThIs.
V. Bands who think they're retro or old-school though can't even name any 60's band. No, sorry; Jet does not stand up to AC/DC; The Darkness are a mere caricature of Queen.
VI.New hippies who whinge about 'freedom of speech' and spell women as 'womyn'. Not like old hippies; they were alright, these are like neo-hippies. See: I.
VII. People who say 'Led Zeppelin; yea, I know that guy - he's alright'
VIII. Anybody doing a doctorate at University that isn't associated with medicine: Doctors of Nokia mobile phones, Doctors of 1960's waterpolo history, Doctors of the culture of bus-stop conversations.
IX. Absolutely anyone who purchased anything to do with 'Crazy Frog'. Why trust anything that lives both IN and OUT of water and is convinced they are riding an invisible motorbike. Why trust any musician who releases a Christmas album?
X. Cyclists. If you took up a whole lane (and there wasn't enough space on the side for a bike), travelled 80kms, and had four wheels at least; then you would the same rights as a motorist.
