Robert R. (early 1954 - May 16, 1969) was an
African-American Missouri teenager who was the victim
of the first confirmed case of HIV/AIDS in North America.
His death baffled doctors, due to the fact that AIDS was
not discovered and officially recognized until June 5, 1981,
when five San Francisco doctors discovered the disease,
long after Robert's death. After AIDS research was gained
interest in the scientific community in 1984, one of the
doctors who had examined Robert sent in his tissues for
an HIV test, both of which were positive.]]> Charles Wed, 16 May 2012 04:09:35 -0700 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=198495#p198495 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=198495#p198495 Re: If I Should Fall From Grace With God game Thousands are Sailing 90

No one in the country knows that this song even exists (unless they are on Medusa or Friends of Shane site or know the band that he recorded with).

No promo, no sales. Unfortunately it looks like it'll be the Betamax to Damo's VHS :(

I know i'm biased but it is better than the "official" one. A lot rockier (excuse the pun) and Shane's vocal's pretty good.

I sympathise. One of the few things that makes the bloated monster that they call the Premier League bearable is the hilarity of knowing that there are certain teams that are a bit crap, prone to implode at any moment and incapable of actually winning anything. It adds to the joy of the nation, something which is sorely needed in these times of baxtard coalition austerity.

Once the media have stopped fawning over the amazing fact that your neighbours have finally won something after only spending 44 billion on it (or whatever), they will realise the sad loss we have all suffered.

And Newcastle are officially Quite Good now too. Where will it all end? (Well done to Pardew, by the way.
