Maybe we've left it too late boys ???   From this weeks "The Sunday Times Magazine" Burning Man: One Foot in the Rave The Burning Man festival is billed as seven days of ultimate countercultural madness in the Nevada desert — think Glastonbury meets Mad Max. How could that not be any fun? Josh Glancy, a first-timer this year, counts the ways.  A dusty piano sits in the middle of a baking-hot, dry lake in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. It is attached to a giant catapult. Hundreds of people stand in a circle, watching. The men wear silver leggings and fur gilets, the women leopard-print catsuits and stickers on their nipples. A man douses the piano in kerosene, lights a match, and a stone drops, launching the flaming piano into the desert, where it comes to earth with a dull crash. The crowd cheers and howls, before mounting their bikes and cycling off. Welcome to Burning Man, the ultimate festival blow-out deep in the American desert, where contrived ...

SNOW BY LOUIS MACNEICE The room was suddenly rich and the great bay-window was Spawning snow and pink roses against it Soundlessly collateral and incompatible: World is suddener than we fancy it. World is crazier and more of it than we think, Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion A tangerine and spit the pips and feel The drunkenness of things being various. And the fire flames with a bubbling sound for world Is more spiteful and gay than one supposes – On the tongue on the eyes on the ears in the palms of one’s hands – There is more than glass between the snow and the huge roses.

Read Vladimir Putin’s U.N. General Assembly speech   Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Monday and said the West was making an "enormous mistake" by not cooperating with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the fight against the Islamic State militant group. Here is the full text of his remarks. ******************************************************************************** PUTIN (THROUGH INTERPRETER): Your excellency Mr. President, your excellency Mr. Secretary General, distinguished heads of state and government, ladies and gentlemen, the 70th anniversary of the United Nations is a good occasion to both take stock of history and talk about our common future. In 1945, the countries that defeated Nazism joined their efforts to lay solid foundations for the postwar world order. But I remind you that the key decisions on the principles guiding the cooperation among states, as well as on the establishment of the United Nations...

Thanks for the mammaries though bird !! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Helen Mirren has officially drawn a line under her days of on-screen nudity. The 70-year-old actress, who has appeared nude in a host of films over her career, said that the time for seeing her ‘pleasure pillows’ is over. She added that while she never particularly chose to appear in the buff in her movies, it ended up being no big deal. Speaking to actor Alan Cumming in an interview on CBS, she said: “I was doing nude scenes [from] the first moment I started doing movies. It was the era. It seemed to be nothing to get your knickers in a twist over. “When I did ‘Caligula’ it was ‘shock horror,’ triple X, only in porn cine...
