Lots of stalkers on mse.

So everyone keeps saying.

They are, however, remarkably short on detail.

Which I regard as shockingly unfair

Who is stalking you? Tell me everything, spare me no sordid detail, I am tough enough to take it:)

Don't worry about being over- read. No one ever visits this board. It is the MSE version of a leper colony.

I am positive that when we venture onto other boards klaxons sound in MSE Towers.

Ah but this is the happy thread I'm not allowed to slag off some randomer with PMT in here remember?

What was so signifigant about 1984? apart from it being the year I was born?

My other half fell asleep on the sofa earlier so I've been trying to stay up untill he gets sleepy again. Dropping now though but I think he's ready to crash, so night night to all who aren't yet snoozing.

Evening all - it's not the stalkers you want to watch out for, it's the lurkers

.

The book is a satire on the post war rush to "socialism", especially as "Uncle Joe" Stalin expanded his empire from the USSR into the countries of Eastern Europe. It is probably a deliberate typo of 1948 but by setting it in the future the problem of alienating our former allies, socialist friends and colleagues and all the fellow travellers in the UK was avoided, until after the penny dropped.

Now shall we talk about room 101 ?

You can over intellectualise here:

You can see something of the author here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Orwell

Though these two links do not investigate the possibility/probability that Orwell started out as a middle class socialist lad, like Che Guevara. but by the time he had arrived at the BBC, he had gone through the conversion from "if you are not a socialist as a young man, you have got no heart to if you are a socialist as an old man, you have got no head". So as "one of us" rather than "one of them" he was in a position to report back on the activities of his "pinko" colleagues.
