Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?
No way! Get F*^%ed, F*^% Off!
or, as per an episode of "Upper Middle Class Bogan" on iView that lscp and i just finished watching (and once again, it isn't in raining. sigh. cheers doc ... and I hope I've given your song some justice on at least one of the countless occasions I've performed it, including while climbing speaker stacks, etc)
So sublime, and yet still so powerfull ...
Hmmm, I wonder if I've got a semi listenable recording somewhere of those aforementioned performances ...

I LOVED Upper Middle Bogan. Hope it's renewed for a second season.

Pretty sure it has been. Best new comedy last year (lets be honest it didn't have much competition).
Ok, speaking of things boganish, I *did* find an old live recording from around 12 years ago. I reckon it's a valid proof of why (a) the song in question shouldn't be the last song of the night or sung after too much illcohol, and (b) it prolly wasn't the best idea to record the occasion anyway and (c) Damn you microsoft for making "movie maker" so quick and easy to use to create something someone will probably regret in the morning !
lol.
The happy snaps include a Very Young numba1son as well as the ever youthful look lscp. I've included them coz that was the outdoors stage @ the Kellerberin pub where this recording was made. Obviously a dress-up theme night that night .... "Guys and Molls" or something like that.
Can't remember what the story was with the bar fridge on a table on the stage though !
oh well, for better or worse, here is yours truly after too many hours in front of a microphone.
Yes, the song just finishing @ the beginning was "it's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll"
Hmmm, now to go back and watch the "upper class bogan" version again, even if only to try and blat the memory of the above from my ears.

...oh... how sad!...he was a full on legend to me .... we've seen some great comedic moments from him ranging from 'The Young Ones' to 'Blackadder' and onwards... his role in the 'Young Ones' was always one of the funniest... when I think of him I always think of moments like this...
...RIP Rik Mayall... thanks for the great memories... cheers.

Niall Lucy, bro of Judith Lucy, husband of, ummm, daughter/step daughter (I can't remember) of lscp's step-dad, and a rampant lefty who wrote a bunch of books including "A Derrida Dictionary" and "The War on Democracy" (of which I have an online review somewhere though I can't remember where or under which nick I posted it, though I do recall exposing it's central fallacy and thus, collapsing if not exposing all that was built upon it).
Met him @ a family xmas dinner family back in 2006 and, prolly because we generally stayed away from things political or controversial, we didn't disagree on all that much ... ;-)
Hmmm, I seem to recall reposting/forwarding my online stuff about his books to other family members, so I wonder if it still lurks in my archives.
[pauses to submit an archives search]
Ah yes, here tis, from the 26/12/2006, a day after the xmas get together ...
-=-=-=-=-=-=- quote on -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I had a flick through "the war on democracy"and don't mind admitting that I was having trouble figuring out where Lucy & Mickler were coming from, what their boggle was, and what they might be hoping to achieve (presuming something more than simply filthy lucre, fame, and the provision of entertainment and amusement.)
Then my browsing stumbled (a fair way into the shock and awe campaign if memory serves me correctly. Heck, it was xmas day after all, so don't put too many demands on me ...) at last upon a clear definition and commitment by the authors to a term.
"Democracy".
I don't mind admitting that their definition actually left me confused because in fact all they seemed to have done is describe common democracy (that surely we all know and understand) in its action/practice/application yet while doing so, attempted to make it sound somehow at odds with the common usage and understanding of the term when it is used as a label.
A re-reading of the book's main title helped put it all back into perspective again, with an obvious shift in who might actually want to be in "Team Oz" (f*** yeah! <tm>).
I don't have a problem that Democracy with a capital D is a simple off-the-shelf fully-formed batteries-not-included product that has as a vital natural part of its internals and operating procedures and other minutia, aspects that are still ideas and ideals yet unfinished (etc). Plenty of scope in that machine to deal with all that and more without having to worry about Lefts, Rights, or inbetweens.
Anyway, after another flick back to the introduction and then a few minutes of pondering and digestion whilst nibbling chocolate and listening to flowing water, I decided that "tilting at windmills" would be the most apt label to file "the war ..." under for now.
I did enjoy much of the imagery mind you, and it is all fun until someone loses an eye ...

The writing style of Lucy and Mickler now make so much more sense now that I realise they are (probably) largely attempting to use the lense and paradigm of Derrida and Deconstruction. In light of the following quote from wikipedia on the topic of deconstruction, it's also easy to infer reasonable motivations for them to write the book, for if indeed Lucy & Mickler are (or would like to be considered as) notable and/or serious deconstructionists, then their book is an example of "kicking against the goads", and the goads in this case are the "conservatives" who allegedly level at "deconstructionism" and "post-modernism".
Wikipedia asserts that: "In popular media, deconstruction has been seized upon by conservative writers as a central example of what is wrong with modern academia. Editorials and columns come out with some frequency pointing to deconstruction as a sign of how self-evidently absurd English departments have become, and of how traditional values are no longer being taught to students. Conservatives frequently treat deconstruction as being equivalent to Marxism."
Personally (and I'll let the reader deconstruct their own path as to what lense and paradigm I'm about to use), I'm not too interested in expressions of democracy that are about giving undue voice, rights, and resources to "minority groups" that have a history of demonstrably being a destructive and negative influence on the long term well-being of "majority groups" as well as civilisation and progress as a whole (regardless of whether democracy is the form of government being used) and besides, there are plenty of examples in our more recent history that show what disaster ensues when the "human
nature" element fails to be factored in when the more socialistic, and/or anti-authoritarian and/or, dare I say, permissive minded dream up their "brotherhood of man" socialistic utopias.
Thus I view democracy to be at its best and most efficient and sensible when it is about ensuring that the majority to get what the majority are in general agreement about, and available resources are allocated accordingly. Well, most of the time.

Anyhoo, enough of my own form of deconstruction ... it being just as valid as Naill's or anybody else's, yes ?
My sympathy to those who actually knew him and those who will miss him, especially his wife, kids, and, presumably, sister.
