About Me

My photo
AS 1967
Winner of the inaugural Unwin Prize and voted "Best Blog Called Angry Since 1967" for 2007, AS1967 has not been described by "The Guardian" as "sour, miserable whinging (that) would make a baby panda cry. Try beating yourself with a stick. It would be better crack than reading this shit". Angry Since 1967 remains as inessential as ever.
