DUTY- FREE, México City´s Free Trade Agreement

11-02-2006 03:16

Hey man, enough with articles that criticize street vendors. We´re all in it together. What´s the big deal? Don´t have any money? Go out and sell something. Don´t have a steady job?

Critical Mass is a bikeride, where lots of cyclists get together to take over the street, just once a month. In Nottingham these bikerides have happened for a few years now. On Thursday 9th Feb there will be a meeting/discussion about how to move forward with the ride. How to make it more positive and how to get more people involved. Previous article about the discussion:

News and sexually explicit content

06-02-2006 17:55

If I'd used a headline which includes the word's Big Brother I expect most indymedia readers won't bother reading the article thanks to Channel 4 and the likes of gorgeous george. If you read this article and can't find the secually explicit content then trying reading it again. If you've read it twice already and still can't find it, come to the rampART at 8pm SHARP on thursday and you'll get it. Otherwise, turn up late and you'll never know and get a bad seat for the show as well.
