Just a short post to bump jolly old Father Marxmas off the top slot now that the festive season is behind us.
In passing - does the name "Jim Needle" mean anything to people? This bloke was an Oxford cartoonist (who did work for New Internationalist) and lived in Jericho. I can't seem to paste links into here, but googling his name & "Jericho Echo" takes you to a little info about him. Anyway - his chosen subject for a private commission would sometimes be a Ruskin character. He did a brilliant cartoon of the late, great Jack "Mr P.C." Eames. I had a copy which I'd hoped to post on here, but can't locate it right now. Hope it wasn't a casualty of last year's house-moving exercise....
Keeping it short, as I said. All the best for 2012 to comrades both in these islands and around the world.
Newsflash: a reliable source of intelligence leads me to believe that Bob Flux will, after all, be attending the reunion. Our NUS chum has responded to communications, unlike a certain Northern character. The latter is, therefore, anathema to us & I place upon him the Fatwah of John Crowley.
Calling all Ruskineers who attended the glorious institution during 1989-1991. An organising committee has been convened and we are aiming to use Levellers' Day in May 2012 as the focus for our reunion. All organisational details for the reunion can be found here as well as contact details for the organisers.
