Machine Love
I just posted a friend about the movie Karmen Gei, from Senegal.
I read about it years ago maybe in the Observer, or casually passing by National Film Theatre. It was the time in my life when I saw and did everything. The Fuck Years, my buddy D'ian eloquently described. He was just wrapping us up and mine were just beginning, freshly arrived in London.
Flash forward and my time is spent around machines, not flesh. Music doesn't came from a harp, zither or voicebox but from a phone. Images and thoughts not from the circle line going round and round, but catch-up telly. And porn takes the place of intimacy. I work with machines. I a little bit love machines. Machine Love.

PlaySport not playing fair
I was happy to see that PlaySport London has come into being to 'deliver free sporting activities to Londoners of all ages and abilities'This is great and chimes with the BarclayCycleHire scheme, free swims, Swim 4Life etcHowever having looked at the PlaySport London website and browsed through the activities available throughout London, the vast majority of these are aimed at 16-21 year olds.In fact many of these are existing Summer Youth Camp activities and they have cynically tapped into the extra 'pot of money' available without widening their remit accordingly to encourage all Londoners (not just youth) to participate. There is no reason why capoeira, dance, boxing and other activities should be available ONLY to young people.I wonder if you would care to look at this and to reply, as it seems highly inappropriate for so many activities to be age-restricted for no reason, and in direct contravention of the stated aim to deliver two months' worth of free sporting activities to Londoners of all ages and abilities
