"Hi Brian", Martin 'Keeper of the Flame' Phippard writes me to say: "Seeing the picture of the Plastic Atki from Pete reminded me that we have just completed our latest DVD programme, BULK HAUL 2. This looks at some bulk operations from Australia and New Zealand and features a plastic Atki with an sweet-singing 8V92 Detroit as well as the uique Godfrey bonneted twin-steer Kenworths, the first quad-quad Argosy-Feldbinder bulk tanker unit in NZ, a hard-working B-double from Yeoval and some AB-triple side-tipping Western Stars operated by Emerald Council! And by way of contrast there's a Finnish Sisu cassette combination working in the snowy forests of Northern Finland."

This DVD programme produced under the CPP banner in conjunction with Nynehead Books is available by contacting www.nynehead-books.co.uk. And don't worry AtkiPete Lynch, your copy went in the post yesterday! Thanks and keep up the good blogging work. Martin P." And I trust I can expect a 'review copy' too?

Marxism is therefore only a limited petit bourgeois critique, one more step in the banalization of life toward the 'good use' of the social! Bataille, to the contrary, sweeps away all this slave dialectic from an aristocratic point of view, that of the master struggling with his death. One can accuse this perspective of being pre- or post-Marxist. At any rate, Marxism is only the disenchanted horizon of capital -- all that precedes or follows it is more radical than it is."

The 3,150 meter long Lefortovo tunnel, in Russia is the longest in-city tunnel in all of Europe . It is nicknamed 'The Tunnel of Death'. See for yourself why. There is a river running over the tunnel and water leaks at some points. When the temperature reaches 0°C like it does in winter in Russia, the road freezes and becomes as slippery as... well... ice. The result is the attached video which was taken during a single day with the tunnel surveillance camera. Congratulations to the bus driver - and imagine the passengers in the back... what a ride!
