    You know what's going to happen now don't you?

    The DUP are going to be calling for a ban on Plastic Bullets.

    Very astute prediction. It is strange watching this play out.

    Yes, it's almost an inversion of Nationalism's campaign for equality from the state - only about 350% more ******ed, since the state is still a lot more British than it is Irish.

    Is use of cannons and plastic bullets a legislated thing or a procedural thing?

    There is a Minister for Justice, in the likes of England the equivalent minister certainly has the power to influence what weapons the forces have at their disposal - I don't know the definite answer in regards to the north, but I'd assume David Force could ban the use of plastic rounds as a crowd control method if he wanted.

    David Force sounds way cooler than Forde. What you say does make sense. Even if it is in the legislation which I can't be arsed to read there may now be cross party support to amend it. In England and Wales the codes of practice under PACE 1984 are updated every year. I have no idea if there is the same thing under the PACE (NI) 89 or even if that **** is included in it.

    It has to go. Water Cannons too.

    Marching is gay as ****. Prancing about in little costumes. At least the Brazilians have the right idea, get the women to parade about in bikini's shaking there titties.

    Nah that was recorded after Godley and Creme left. Their best stuff is all Pre 75-76.

    How Dare You is one of my favourite albums.

    They were very eclectic, a bit of Barber shop (which is no bad thing because all 4 of them had very good voices), a bit of Eastern influence, some rock, lots of Pop and a smidgeon of classical.

    Here's a good example, the title and opening track on How Dare You. (Instumental)
