60 Years Of The PMC - The PMC Unilaterally Declares Independence

2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the launch of the PMC. Yes, it's impossible to believe, but that's because it is impossible.

To mark this auspicious occasion the PMC will be taking a retrospective of some of the outstanding posts of the past six decades. From Cold War to Coldplay and from Ban the Bomb to Ban the Burka, every decade will be represented, and includes highlights from some of the most talked about of contributors...Bertrand Russell, Hunter S. Thompson, Roman Polanski, Roald Dahl and Limahl from Kajagoogoo,  to name but a few - none of them contributed to the PMC's pages (oh, hold on a second, Limahl had a regular section in the early 80s)

"The Puumaja Crew would like to announce that it has unilaterally declared independence from the blogspot organisation, as they do things that we don't like. We are reverting to our original name, Wooden Houseshire,  and, since we feel beset by enemy blogs on all sides, expect blogspot to come in and save us when the going gets tough anyway.

We simply can't bear the idea of our civilized and productive blog being brought down by the primitive peoples in our midst until such time as they have learnt to blog properly. We are particularly disappointed that, despite all the aid to our kith and kin at blogspot, they don't seem to understand this and whilst we have some kind of rose-tinted view of what their organisation stands for and, in the final analysis are always likely ultimately to fall in line, this is not going to happen before we've enjoyed our fair share of mischief-making".
