Roller Race- The final heats will be amazing short races after competitors
have set their qualifying times. "It’s a drama – the gritting of teeth and
twisting of faces, as riders give everything in those 20-something seconds
of each race. Only opera could portray the intensity and drama."
(Therese Bjorn, www.londonmessengers.org)

1900-2100 Qualifiers for Roller Race
2200-2245 Round 1
2345-0015 Quaters & Semi Finals

I can't afford fashion, but if I hang around some people who can for long enough then maybe I'll be part of the scene?

thanks for the fuck, I'll add it to the collection

From my understanding emos are people who I would call goths, but they don't like to be called goths and get very emotional if you call them goths.
