Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Stand Up for the Emo Kids!

You may have heard that the Tory rag The Daily Mail has recently taken a break from its usual immigrant bashing and launched an bizarre attack on...emo! Yes, those pasty faced kids on your street corner are the latest threat to Britannia. But hear this - the emo kids aren't taking it lying down. So toss on that My Chemical Romance disc, go crazy with the black nail varnish and show your solidarity! For more, cut and paste this link to a Guardian piece:

At least they don't face with what their brethren in Mexico are up against.

Blimey, that is severe. I don't get it. What could these people have against the pasty ones? They're harmless. After Columbine it was never the goth and emo kids that I worried about. It was the ordinary looking kids sitting in the back of the room with blank expressions doodling pictures of fists and guns that I kept a close eye on.

Exactly. Laughable because of their oversensitivity but harmless.

And I do like that Black Parade song.
