Veteran Revellers Steal the Show

British pensioner Lorna Gobey celebrated her hundredth birthday this week and attributed her impressive longevity to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day accompanied by a glass of Guinness and whiskey chaser (as often as she liked).
“I’ve been smoking since I was 30 and have had no problems at all,” Mrs Gobey told the Daily Telegraph, “People try and tell you it’s bad for you but my family wouldn’t dare ask me to stop. If they did, I’d put them across my lap and give them a slapped bum,” she added.
Mrs Gobey’s refusal to grow old gracefully matched the example of fellow British granny Ruth Flowers, 69, who attracted yet more international publicity this week after becoming feted in France as a superstar DJ. Recently headlining the Cannes Film Festival, Mrs Flowers reportedly mixes classic pop hits with electro and dresses up in leopard skin and spangly outfits attracting delirious attention from adoring twenty something fans.
Speaking to the Guardian last month she denied being a superstar DJ though stressed she had ‘no intention of retiring from the decks ‘unless I drop dead’.
“The bouncers didn’t want to let me in at first, I was quite a lot older than the usual clientele, but once I got inside I hugely enjoyed it. I thought ‘I can do this’, she said, of her entry into DJing.
“My husband had died, I was retired, I had the time, so why not?”
Both ladies’ attitudes struck a chord with the views of 40 something French superstar DJ David Guetta who chatting to the Sunday Times last summer said he had absolutely no intention of ever slowing down.
“I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of the late nights at all. I’ll still be doing this when I’m 80,” the Fuck Me I’m Famous star said, “Inside I actually feel like a teenager still,” he explained.

Alex Silverfish Remembered
Friends of underground techno legend Alex Silverfish have set up a Facebook group to commemorate Alex’s contributions to London’s alternative culture, 18 months after Alex committed suicide in her East London flat.
The Italian born DJ established one of London’s first all night art-space locations at Charing Cross Road in the early 90s (called Silverfish) going on to host hundreds of unlicensed warehouse parties in the city over the next decade.
Acid House- the Movie (& Back In the Day Blackburn Busts) (interview)
‘No offence is as heinous as unorthodoxy of behaviour. Murder kills only the individual – and after all, what is an individual? We can make a new one with the greatest ease – as many as we like. Unorthodoxy threatens more than the life of a mere individual; it strikes at Society itself.’
Chatting about the absurdities of the war on drugs which sees petty dealers often punished more harshly than murderers the Guardian’s Jennifer Abel quoted from Aldous Huxley’s prophetically dystopian novel Brave New World last week, to ask ‘Is it simply that people who take drugs are seen as misfits?’ (Guardian)
Chatting to Skrufff this week, 90s raver turned documentary film maker Piers Sanderson is not so sure, at least where it concerns the impact of Britain’s acid house revolution of the late 80s (documented superbly in his new film High On Hope.)
“I don’t think acid house did threaten society actually, though it certainly seems unbelievable today that the guys who built the speakers for the parties ended up being imprisoned in Victorian jails for 6 months and that you could be sentenced to ten years for possessing five pills,” he says.
“But it was all brand new. Nobody had seen anything like it before. 10,000 people all on drugs, dancing away in disused warehouses, ignoring police road blocks, over-turning police cars and setting them alight; to the generation in power this level of civil disobedience must have been terrifying.”
“As Tommy says in the film ‘as much as we thought it was the light and the way, the authorities thought it was Judgement day’,” says Piers.

Financial Guru Urges Bankers To Head for The Hills
Notoriously accurate financial analyst Marc Faber warned investment bankers to flee cities and buy property in the countryside this week, in a chilling address he delivered to 700 elite fund managers gathered in Toyko.
Advising the super-rich financiers to convert their ill-gotten gains to gold and diamonds ‘because they can be carried’ Dr Faber suggested staying in cities could soon prove particularly perilous.
“The next war will be a dirty war,” he predicted, “What are you going to do when your mobile phone gets shut down or the internet stops working or the city water supplies get poisoned?” he added.
Outlining his vision to Russia’s Troika Dialog Forum in Moscow several weeks earlier the nowadays Thailand based Swiss expert was in similarly apocalyptic mood, singling out the UK, mainland Europe and the US in particular as notably vulnerable locations to avoid.
“I’m convinced the US government will go bankrupt,” Dr Faber told the assembled billionaires, “But not tomorrow. And before they do they will print money [and] you’ll get a depression with very high inflation rates,” he predicted.
