Maunsell Towres

The Thames Estuary Army Forts were constructed in 1942 to a design by Guy Maunsell, following the successful construction and deployment of the Naval Sea Forts. Their purpose was to provide anti-aircraft fire within the Thames Estuary area. Each fort consisted of a group of seven towers with a walkway connecting them all to the central control tower. The fort, when viewed as a whole, comprised one Bofors tower, a control tower, four gun towers and a searchlight tower. They were arranged in a very specific way, with the control tower at the centre, the Bofors and gun towers arranged in a semi-circular fashion around it and the searchlight tower positioned further away, but still linked directly to the control tower via a walkway. All the forts followed this plan and, in order of grounding, were called the Nore Army Fort, the Red Sands Army Fort and finally the Shivering Sands Army Fort. All three forts were in place by late 1943, but Nore is no longer standing. Construction of the towers was relatively quick, and they were easily floated out to sea and grounded in water no more than 30m (100ft) deep.

ONE MAN JOB: UBAH

Since I've had started discovering YouTube few months ago I found out that there is almost every single videoclip from my fav_bands or artists. I started looking for some videos I've never seen before and found some real masterpieces.

My opinion is that the bands like Velvet Acid Christ or Wumpscut which are in a fact performed only by one person are unique, because the quality of the music they're producing is one of the best on the EBM field.

Back to the topic. What I wanted to show you is a video from Velvet Acid Christ called "Pretty Toy". If you like movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre or whatever you'll like it because it's design, if you like VAC, you're gonna call it masterpiece. As I do.

"...we see what you really are - you have become a pretty toy."

"SPLIT YOURSELF" VIDEO FINALLY RELEASED!

And this time on YouTube!

After almost 9 months long waiting someone managed to copy a raw .avi file from a videocamera into a PC, used some crappy Movie Marker or what the hell and sent me a link with "Hey, check this - guess what's that". I was really surprised.

The "director" is a friend of mine and the man standing behind the local project Streetlive, what is supposed to be a place with the biggest amount of retards in one guestbook. You know, young and fidgety sprayers. He's been working on this vid with another friend of mine, Romus, running his own and not well-known personal webpage.

As I mentioned before I felt very happy while watching this shot 'cause the history of "Split yourself video" is as sad as the plot in Venezuela's serial and since me 'n' my friend have been in charge of arranging things around this contest, we really got in touch with the pure and exact meaning of the word "imbecility". Hope you'll like it.

CYANIDE AND HAPPINESS

I knew about Cyanide and Happiness for about a year but I managed to dig into the original source on the web just today. I've never seen such a funny comic based on the humor darker than the thoughts about having a relationship with Paris Hilton's pink dog since the "Gone with the Blastwave" (which is something entirely different but worth reading too).

Some people may disagree with the sence of humor used into this excellent piece of art but that's because those people hadn't focused enough on getting across.

If you like black humor, nonsence book, straight dialogues, weird funny situations pointed out by simple and more than sufficient graphics, you've got the funniest comic evah. Screw the Garfield!

INTERMEZZO

Some time ago I've been thinking about some interesting fact, and that's why the most of the girls I know start acting like a bitch after some period of time. It wasn't me who hit on it, it was my friend and his worth-remembering sentence

"They're pissed off on us because they know they'll never really own us."

But at least, they could try to. It was ment to be a joke but it surprisingly helps. And now something special for all sexually frustrated, sex-starved individuals whose best friend is their right (or left) hand and a CD with big, fat, black "P" sign:

Lineage fisting:


Have a great time!
