Well I never…

Leopards, spots etc – NEVER forget the true nature of this beast:

Shadow home secretary Dominic Grieve has defended his decision not to give up shares in major firms still operating in Zimbabwe.

Mr Grieve was among seven MPs named by the Independent on Sunday as having investments in the country.

He said the Conservative Party expected firms in Zimbabwe to uphold “the highest ethical standards”.

Tory leader David Cameron previously called on Zimbabwe investors to “examine their own responsibilities”.

Mr Grieve owns at least £240,000 worth of shares in companies operating in the southern African country such as Shell, mining firms Rio Tinto and Anglo American and the Standard Chartered bank.

“The Albert” = Prince Albert in Trafalgar St Brighton, where I pretty much lived during this period – and where my ex and dog literally lived.  Now home to the famous Banksy kissing policeman graffiti.

Lemmy The Movie

Presumably this will be a little different from the (welcome) glut of Joy Division films recently:

“Don’t sit at home…

…and do nothing”

John Lydon, Mojo Magazine June 2008

Simple perhaps, obvious even.

Here’s the full quote; Rotten is referring to how he couldn’t have done the Pistols without the other three:

“How many people with great thoughts are still stuck out there without an outlet all because they never bumped into each other. Don’t sit at home and do nothing.”

So what are you up to?
