I love it. The 'tagging' side of it I'm not so fond of, but some of the stuff people produce is bloody brilliant, especially the comissioned stuff. There are plenty of 'taggers' in Oxford who just go around doing their tags everywhere, but a few really talented artists who, although where they paint is technically illegal, it doesn't half brighten up the place. There was a very prolific guy in Oxford up until a couple of years back going by the pseudonym of Leash who painted lots of great stuff, a few examples of which I have included below along with some from other artists around Oxford. Oxford does seem a very under-rated scene for graffiti
tl;dr summarise it in one sentence plox
something that sends shivers down my spine for totally different reasons to the Aphex stuff I posted

A world-renowned mathematics expert proves conclusively that there is no “climate crisis” as published Summer 2008 in a major, peer-reviewed paper, ‘Physics and Society’, the highly-respected journal of the 4,600-strong American Physical Society. http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/press/...
Lord Monckton, former British government chief adviser revealed 11 disturbing errors in the claims made by environmentalists at the IPCC. Monckton’s paper reveals that:
1. The IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change)’s 2007 climate summary overstated CO2’s impact on temperature by 500-2000%
2. CO2 enrichment will add little more than 1 °F (0.6 °C) to global mean surface temperature by 2100;
3. Not one of the three key variables whose product is climate sensitivity can be measured directly;
4. The IPCC’s values for these key variables are taken from only four published papers, not 2,500;
5. The IPCC’s values for each of the three variables, and hence for climate sensitivity, are overstated;
6. “Global warming” halted ten years ago, and surface temperature has been falling for seven years;
7. Not one of the computer models relied upon by the IPCC predicted so long and rapid a cooling;
8. The IPCC inserted a table into the scientists’ draft, overstating the effect of ice-melt by 1000%;
9. It was proved 50 years ago that predicting climate more than two weeks ahead is impossible;
10. Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto warmed at the same time as Earth warmed;
11. Also, in the past 70 years the Sun was more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years.
The detailed arguments in this paper, and, indeed, in a large number of other recent scientific papers, point up huge errors as well as misleading statements by the IPCC. Consequently, there are no rational grounds for believing either the IPCC or any other claims of dangerous anthropogenic ‘global warming’. The great con perpetrated by a consortium of tax-hungry world leaders now seems totally exposed.

whats stopping you inviting us round for a rave anyway?
Alberto Balsalm is indeed another great Aphex track, along with I'm Self Employed from the Analord series
another couple of 'shivers going down spine' tracks

if it works, and is as good as the trailer makes out, it could be an awesome game....don't know if it'll swing me into buying a PS3 though
some good shots
I went out and bought a ps1 a while back, I seem to remember getting 2 from a carboot sale with all the leads, controllers etc for £10, so I dug out my copy of Driver 1 and GTA II and played them
Nothing beats an N64 though, still got my old one up in my parent's bedroom - Goldeneye, Super Mario 64 and Pokemon Stadium...those were the days
