Things can only get better. They can only get better. Can only get, can only get, can only get. THINGS. CAN ONLY GET BETTER. Sorry, CD's been jammed since 1997, think I'm going insane. Yeah, put a link to me on dead man left (is it an anagram of 'mead and LT elf', a comment about your imaginary elf-friend who lives under the bridge in East Ham? Hence LT, London Transport.)
Erm, no, but possibly that's a better explanation than the TRUTH which I now present in (some) of its glory:
"We Communists are all dead men on leave. Of this I am fully aware. I do not know if you will extend my leave or whether I shall have to join Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. In any case I await your verdict with composure and inner serenity. For I know that, whatever your verdict, events cannot be stopped. The Prosecuting Counsel believes that the leaders incited the masses. Bur just as leaders could not prevent the mistakes of the masses under the pseudo-Soviet Republic, so the disappearance of one or other of the leaders will under no circumstances hold up the movement.
And yet I know, sooner or later, other judges will sit in this Hall and then those will be punished for high treason who have transgressed against the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Pronounce your verdict if you deem it proper. I have only striven to foil your attempt to stain my political activity, the name of the Soviet Republic with which I feel myself so closely bound up, and the good name of the workers of Munich. They - and I together with them - we have all of us tried to the best of our knowledge and conscience to do our duty towards the International, the Communist World Revolution."

Is this really Iain/Pikey/Stallion?
That first comment.
Oh god. I despair.
@Iain: dear God.
@Meadway: I take it you'll be recommending this on dead men left?
