Saturday mornings at the local communist club with my mum

yeah...I recall fucking Gerry Anderson going on about how
realistic his new set of puppets for this show was...

Needless to say, they were about as realistic as a Lego
Dinosaur...

But that Zelda woman was pretty cool tho...that was her name
wasn't it?...

Yeah my mum comes from eastern europe so saturday mornings
meant having to go to a special club to learn the lingo and
culture. I hated every minute of it. All my mates were in
bed or having a laugh whilst I was stuck in a classroom that
resembled a communsist soup kitchen.

The baddies scared the shit out of me and still do. There's
something really creepy and unsettling about those puppets.
Especially Captain Scarlet. If i ever watched one of those
shows when stoned I'd have a nervous breakdown.

I feel your pain . I had to go to church every Sunday until
about the age of 14. Catholicism is a curse as a child. I
always wanted to be a Protestant because all the Protestants
I knew never went to church.

My mums culture is catholic but thankfully she was never too
hot on religion. The wierd thing is the older I get I find I
have more time for it. I know it goes against everything I
have been taught but having lived in Italy last year I saw
religion in a differenbt light. Us Anlgo-saxons got it
wrong. Church in Italy is a place you can go to and just
chill out and contemplate things when all outside is so
hectic and hot. I used to love going there. My life back in
England is completely unspiritual, and I definately lack
something for it.

I think we kick against what we grow up with. I rejected
religion and embraced communism. My mum thought I was going
to get in trouble at first and never get a job. She still
gets anxious when there's a demo in London and thinks I'm
there getting pummelled by coppers ha, ha.

my parents were very religious, took the bible literally.
But their version had a misprint...they beleive in 'faith
hop and charity, and the greatest of these is hop'.
So every sunday they spent the day hopping. Hop out of bed,
hop to church, hop while serving hot gravy in the sunday
lunch (we all had to bring umbrellas to the table), they hop
here hop ther, hip while listening to hip hop, till they hop
back into bed. it made me hopping mad.

Terrahawks was one of my favourite programmes years ago - it
was one of the only 'puppet' shows I liked. I used to watch
others like Captain Scarlett, but only usually because
nothing else was on!

Zelda was real ugly wasn't she?

No, I forgot to book the day off work. Doh! I went last year
but it was useless because there were too many piggies. It
should be good this year.

I have just scoured around for info and by the looks of
things alot is still under wraps. This could prove
interesting. I don't particlualry want there to be violence
but a bit of rabble rousing would be good.

I think the non-violent protestors will have the sway this
year. There'll be way more with anti-war, pro-Palestinian
supporters and those who have been taking industrial action
this year. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the police do
some skull-cracking.

i think there're more things than those we can see w/ our
eyes and shit, but imo christianity is just one big bag of
commercial shit. You sinned??, go 2 church and pray so you
wont go to hell, but dont forget 2 pay big dough to the
catholic community (catholics are the worst) Last day i went
to the sacre couer in paris (dont know how to spell it) and
inside the church there were soooo focking many sculptures
and gold plated artworks and stuff, but below it (its on a
hill) lies the most poor part of the whole city....
somethings wrong here...
