A predicament that's gothic but not necessarily novel

Read Bill Jamieson's interesting article about his neighborhood Gothic experience and his predictions.

The Scotsman - Scotsman Magazine - A predicament that's gothic but not necessarily novel

"What characterises goths? They are generally aged between 13 and 25. They wear black and purple clothing, and are given to body piercing, tattoos, black eye make-up and blood red lipstick. The girls are odd-looking, too. When I asked a Scotsman colleague what characterised goth behaviour, she told me, 'they are morbid, unhealthy-looking freaks who don't mix with others and sit round looking suicidally depressed.' A shiver ran down my spine. It's The Scotsman features department.

What intrigues me is the persistence of the goth culture. It first emerged in Britain in the late 1970s and early 1980s, rising Phoenix-like from the charred logs of the punk movement, with bands such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus and Killing Joke. The distinctive dark goth sound arose through bands such as The Sisters of Mercy, Alien Sex Fiend and Fields of the Nephilim. Wow! A few more band names rolled off like this and I'll be drafted on to the Cultural Commission.

There are goth variants such as New Romantic (velvet, lace and brocade) and Cybergoth (marked by electronic techno dance music and clothes combining electronic circuitry and bright neon colours). There is Goth-punk, with its tell-tale punk safety pins and fetish attire. And there are of course the Visigoths. But not having a band, they died out."

Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Slayer's Stake Prop Replica

OOooooh No! Don't use this stake against Rhiannapire the Groovy Vampire!

The Slayers’ Stake – a striking prop replica that pays tribute to the Slayers who’ve kept the world safe from evil all through the millennia. Made of actual, hand-carved wood, The Slayer’s Stake comes in a handsome satin-lined, black wooden box. The outside of the box is adorned with an attractive brass plaque, and the inside of the lid features the now-famous words, “Into every generation a Slayer is born, one girl in all the world, a chosen one...” While the artisans at Factory X had numerous stakes to choose from, they opted to replicate of one of the earliest stakes used on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Featured prominently in the show’s first season, this stake was also used extensively in promotional shots for the show.

84 injured but no gorings in 7th day of Spain's Pamplona bull-running festiva | CP

Nothing could make Rhianna run in front of charging bulls but some people do it for thrills? If there's a bull charging down the street, get the hell away from that scene!

84 injured but no gorings in 7th day of Spain's Pamplona bull-running festiva | CP: "PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) - The seventh bull run at the annual Pamplona festival ended with 84 people battered and bruised, two taken to hospital, but no one gored Wednesday.

The run was quick - just over 2 1/2 minutes - and relatively incident free, although one thrill-seeking runner tripped just in front of a pack of bulls and was trampled.

The nine-day festival in this northern city, made famous in Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises, is known for its all-night street parties. It dates to the late 16th century, though its roots reach back to the era when Spain was first Christianized."


PAMPLONA is gorgeous. Take a look at this photo tour of Pamplona

Beware: Amusement Park Rides are NOT regulated by the government


One girl's heart stopped and had to be resuscitated after the Tower of Terror ride in Walt Disney World in Florida. The Tower of Terror ride
"is set in a haunted hotel and visitors shoot up 13 stories in a "phantom elevator" before plummeting back to the ground at least once."

[This is not the only tragic incidence:]

"Last month, four-year-old Daudi Bamuwamye from Pennsylvania passed out on Walt Disney World's Space Mission ride and later died."


Be careful and be cautious. It's great to go on a thrilling ride but not if the ride is a threat to your safety and/or health.

Darkness Sprite
Cruel, beautiful, ominous and evil
You are a sprite of Darkness: Most shiver at the
sound of your name, you are ominous and
something to be feared. Humans are playthings
to you, toys for your own horrid uses.
Heartless and cruel you love the pain and
hardships of others, sometimes you are the
cause. You are very beautiful on the outside
which will entrance any mortal into believing
what you lead them to, but sooner or later they
will understand the deadly ways of your true
nature. Despite your dark side you are very
talented, you have many gifts that you leave
locked up in favor of whatever else your doing
at the moment. The feeling of love is alien and
unwanted, it frightens you. Perhaps the only
thing that does, you are quite brave and things
rarely surprise or startle you.
