Fishing for crayfish is rather like buying a book, but not like reading it.

Submitted by Robbie on 14 February, 2010 - 23:59

For the past two months I have been slowly gathering the materials with which to hunt the vicious Signal crayfish, grey squirrel of our waterways, a scourge of riverbanks, fish stocks and native species of crayfish. To do this I have followed the instructions of George Monbiot, and last week I put the finishing touches to my free ticket to a meal. ... there is more to this article, click to read the more »

The Glasgow Festival of DIY

Submitted by Thomas on 23 July, 2009 - 10:56

TYPE Review is proud to be associated with the Glasgow Festival of DIY, and will be involved in various events during the last week of September.

This is a community-led initiative to demonstrate the possibilities of 'reducing, reusing and recycling' in our everyday lives, and the benefits of being as self-sufficient as possible.

As the website states, it is to be:

A festival highlighting the activities of various individuals and organisations in Glasgow that could be seen as DIY, not-for-profit or non-commercial, highlighting communal and sustainable alternatives to dominant forms of culture.

The festival will explore the nature of these activities and their interaction with the urban space that is Glasgow. It should prove to be a celebration of the rich and diverse movement of groups and individuals inventing, shaping and engaging with their environment.

TYPE will be, amongst other things:

  1. demonstrating small-scale and hand printing techniques
  2. organising spoken word events
  3. opening up our allotment for demonstrations

We also hope to attend and contribute to most of the other events that are being organised.

We finally recieved TYPE V.1 I.2 from the printers (It has been a long, arduous journey this time around), and are now printing the covers as fast as possible in order to attend the launch of Triangle, our featured section this time around.

One casualty has already been had; Tom skewered his thumb when making a lino cut, but is still carrying bravely on, plaster secured in place, as there are only twenty-four hours remaining before the copies go on sale. ... there is more to this article, click to read the more »

unfashionable British Radicalism

Submitted by Thomas on 13 April, 2009 - 18:10

The rhetoric which currently surrounds us concerning the financial crisis, of politicians claiming inordinate amounts of money through 'expenses' and other such nefarious means, is not a new thing.

It is strange that overt radicalism has never been the way of the British. That successes in gaining freedoms have always been partial and incomplete. Here in a selection from a hugely popular pamphlet by William Cobbett we can see how little the worries, the targets and the arguments have progressed in 193 years. ... there is more to this article, click to read the more »
