Ageism in US political system - 35+ to be President
Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:09:48 -0700 (PDT)
Hi all,
As I understand it, you need to be at least 35 to stand for the US
presidency. Can somebody please correct me if I am out-of-date. You

(granddaughter of the left-wing ex-MP ...

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 03:42:50 -0700 (PDT)
My Manchester band Galaxia re-formed on Wednesday evening. Despite the
fact that two other people said they would come on Facebook, the new
line-up of the band just consisted of Jonny Faders and myself. Jonny
played an acoustic guitar on "Things Can Only Get Bitter" and piano on
"Donovan's Doorway", while I sang o ...

I moved back from Glasgow to Manchester recently and have decided to
resurrect my band Galaxia, that first recorded songs in the run-up to

I've uploaded some new musical poems to my musical poetry page (at
http://www.socialiststeve.me.uk/poetry.htm), including "Things Can
Only Get Bitter". I nicked the title of that poem from the slogan of
the Convention of the Left, which I attended recently (and I have a T-
