Caranthir

One of the seven sons of Feanor, a minor character in Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Often listed along with Celegorm and Curufin, but absent from the account of the kidnapping of Luthien, he died along with this pair while assailing Elwing's forces.

If there's seven, and they're all in pairs, there has to be an odd one out, right? And it's this guy.

American Idiot

2004 Album release from "Green Day," the influential punk/alternative rock band. The concept is a rock opera following the lives of youth in a world they portray as media dominated and where they have no voice.

American Idiot is the only album this year where every single song is great.

Socialist Organiser

Now-defunct socialist newspaper (NOT an organisation) run during the 1980s by the Socialist Campaign for a Labour Victory (SCLV). Neither the paper nor SCLV exists at present, both having been dissolved in the late 80s.

This does not stop the rightwing in NUS treating Socialist Organiser (aka "S.O.") as the secret conspiracy behind every setback and every instance of opposition they face. The supposed organisation is supposed to have covert arrangements to produce such outcomes, and every left-leaning campaign, however broad-based, is accused of being a "front" for "S.O.". Basically, the NUS rightwing's pet version of Illuminati, cabal or ZOG.

Also known as 'the trots'.

Socialist Organiser was never what the NUS rightwing now claim it is, and in any case it's been defunct for 20 years. Get over it, you wankers!
