Firstly, I'd like to say that I can't believe this thread has gone on so long - I'm sure the first post was a troll and whoever that was must be laughing now. Anyway, as a response to the last post - the best time I had at CH was my last couple of years. While many of my peers were having a miserabl...

Yeah, I remember the BBC Micros at CH, hilarious - and also working on the Xenix boxes, very creaky. PC's turned up when I was there, 286's, amazing as they were at the time. Macs being better for design (etc.) applications is a myth - it used to be the case five or ten years ago, but now PCs can do...

Use your Adwords subscription to subvert their rules, e.g. link to a website (that you set up) that is a spoof of the Oxford Gun Company, called Not The Oxford Gun Company that absolutely doesn't sell guns. No sir. No guns here. But that website conveniently recommends where you might go to find som...

** Boring techy post alert *** I presume the reason is because the design pretty much has to be standardised - to fit in standard-sized slots. Because of the space restriction there isn't really any room to put the button anywhere else - all the mechanism is in the bottom half of the drive and the t...

Been away from Britain for a while, came back recently and obviously had cause to ring lots of customer service lines - banks, phone companies, etc., etc. - and discovered that virtually every phone call I made was unsatisfactory, to a greater or lesser degree. Whether it was wrong information, on h...

Mid A 15: Agreed, anyone can write an article on Wikipedia - but articles on large topics such as this are typically written, edited and checked by a lot of people who know what they are talking about. One of the two articles quotes 51 separate references. The two pieces of the article I quote are d...

You doubt there is anyone stupid enough to OD on alcohol at the first attempt? And I would doubt that there is anyone stupid enough to OD on marijuana at the first attempt, but those are just our opinions, not facts, which is why I was asking you to back up your opinions with references! Similarly, ...

Worth a quick read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_in_Media Incidentally, just reread your comments Jude about how it isn't possible to kill yourself with alcohol the first time you try it unless you walk in front of a bus - on the contrary surely it's very easy to OD on alcohol the first time?

Jude, I agree with you about prison life being too soft on many offenders. It should offer rehabilitation and reeducation, but it shouldn't be a place where people have an easy life and can sit around watching telly or computer games! On to Marijuana, can you (Jude) provide any documented evidence t...

Rory - Agreed that in Ian Huntly's case it is difficult to argue against the people who are saying he should be allowed to kill himself, although I still would. I was commenting on the generalisations of how to treat prisoners in general, not just Huntly. A figure quoted by Jude in an earlier post w...
