What was so interesting to Fire Walk With Me, that caused them to kick a 42 year old thread

Hence, something was set to zero.

There was jury duty on a post of Dec 1969. I wonder if there is a connection?

And here's to our Harold Wilson - you may have your faults, but Britain won't have a Prime Minister anything like as good as you in the next 40 years or so.

*What* was the name of that awful Tory MP for Finchley again? I hope she never gets anywhere! Come to think of it, doesn't California have a rather rotten governor? Used to be a rather rotten actor. Hope he never gets anywhere, either!

Anyway there's some great music around! I hope the Beatles never break up! The Rolling Stones are pretty good, too.
