War Games in Meeting House Lane
While meandering around Brighton this afternoon I came across Games Workshop in Meeting House Lane. There was a bit of a stur inside so I went in to take a look. It seems that they have been running a war games campaign for the last month or so and one of the final games was taking place. A large table stood in the center of the shop laden with various science fiction themed war game paraphernalia. It seemed to me that there were around three people on each side. They discussed tactics, referred to thick manuals and measured blast radii. I hadn’t realised there was so much to it.
Practice?
Occupy Brighton
An Occupy protest has sprung up in Victoria Gardens Brighton oposite the King & Queen pub. A bunch of tents and some friendly people open for a chat. They had some good slogans. “Chose love over fear” and “All money is a matter of belief”.
I guess the latter has been true since governments came off the gold standard. Since then it is possible that, if the politicians and bankers screw up enough, people will lose all faith in money. They will see it for what it is: mere paper and numbers in computers. The problems is that millions of us, necessarily, have stakes in money in the form of investments, savings and pensions. However, these being hit by the current crisis the danger is that people do lose belief in the system. Like God, money requires faith. Without faith, it is nothing.

Vinyl records fetch a good price
I read an article in the Economist recently which said that investment is difficiult at the moment as everything is risky. Bonds, Stock, property. They could all fail to appreciate over the next decade.
I was in Snoopers Paradide in Brighton this afternoon and I saw that they had a section of vinyl records. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin seem to be holding their value quite nicely.
