Three more from them after the news.

Anyone got a video feed of Dear Leader shaking a wicked wellie to any of those catchy toe-tappers?

I'm just imagining the same thing happening here. A load of civil servants all singing "Dear Gordon How The World Is Better When You Bestow Your Greatness Upon Us May Your Light Shine For Ever". Who'd get the giggles first? Them or our Dear Leader?

The performance successfully represented the iron faith and will of the people's security persons to always share the idea, will and destiny with Kim Jong Il and breathe the same breath with him and creditably perform their honorable mission as the first line unit in the class struggle and interior forces of the supreme commander despite any storm and stress and thus defend the most advantageous socialist system centering on the popular masses as firm as an iron wall.

When the performance was over, Kim Jong Il warmly acknowledged the enthusiastic cheers of the performers and audience and congratulated the performers on their successful performance. e expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the members of the art squad gave a performance rich in the ideological contents and high in artistry as it is clear-cut in the political stand and strong in the spirit of the times. He highly praised the members of the art squad for having created pieces of great cognitive and educational value which give perfect answers to social problems in the era of Songun and staged the best, unique and refreshing performance. He extended special thanks of the KPA supreme commander to them.

Our socialist country of Juche is impregnable as its defence line is firmly protected by the heroic KPA which has grown to be ranks of a- match-for-a hundred fighters and the security of the country and its people are reliably safeguarded by the interior forces intensely loyal to the party, the leader, the country and the people, he added.

This even better than running-dog-era Maoism. Thanks, Fraser, you imperialist lackey.

that the skirmish between naval boast off North Korea in the news this morning was the South Koreans trying to land Westwood and Fabio & Grooverider behind the lines to knock out some tunes... go hard or go home as the Marine corp probably don't say.

That's Buster Gonads

our Prime Minister is under the illusion that The Stranglers wrote a song just for him. "Texture like sun? Why thank you" (do your own bad Scottish accent while I get my coat, hat and scarf)

no one shouts 'Judas' or talks during these gigs. Sometimes despotic Stalinism (if that ain't a tautology) has much to offer...

Re Mr Brown - 'taxes on stun' for 'texture like sun', shurely?

I thought Fraser had got a hold of the next Muse CD
