    I love this book.

    After that I'm moving on All Men Are Mortal, by my very favorite author Simone de Beauvior. Its the only one of her books I havent read.

    ;)

    william gibson rocks, burning chrome etc etc, i'm reading some forensic mystery, got a book swap thing going on with some guys at the office so go mysteries and thrillers coming out of my ears....best one of which recently has been los alamos (can't remember author - d'oh).....also the 'amazing adventures of kavalier and clay'

    think it depends where you go...there are some events where it is highly likely that everyone there will be in as bad a state as you (or worse), then you don't have to worry.....you have to worry at a more neutral venue where you might run into the 'normal people' from work

  3. once in the heady days before i had a real job and was temping i was doing letter writing in a large bank back home in sunny england...

    ...the unchallengingness of my job meant that i was partying pretty hard....

    anyway one tuesday after a weekend of madness at a free outdoor party and a missed monday, i was shuffling in line in the staff canteen in recovery mode, when i saw this guy...he had distinctive big hair and i recognised him from dancing by the bonfire, never spoke or exchanged names, he worked in differnt department to me in the bank.....

    looking across our trays of mush, we recognised each other and gave the fight club nod....our secret life of partying acknowledged...

    this type of thing just happen to me??

    :hat:

  4. the tracking is so bad on my car here that it wanders all over the road at will, theres no way that i can steer with my knees whilst making a spliff, the thing just pulls to the right..

    as i'm overtaking massive trucks, whilst drifting to the right, i have the tendency to close my eyes and breathe in as if this will make my car thinner.....anyone in the passenger seat has a tendency to flinch and make that noise like a little in take of breath (similar to the intake of breath made by mechanics whilst looking at your car, before they say..well its going to cost ya)

  5. are you in a cube or your own office...

    if so put a pen or pencil on the floor, lay your left arm on the desk, lay your head on your left arm, dangle your right arm down to the floor...

    if someone comes in pick up the pen and sit up as if you were just reaching down to pick it up...

    note: in my experience this doesn't work so good if you have sweater ribs or qwerty imprinted on your face....;)

  6. the arguments i have against you are

    1. You say the government is doing this to protect us

    I say read my above posts, better education is the answer, or even free or subsidised testing services......

    2. You say that the Bill will not be used to prosecute unwitting club owners

    allow to be used space for an event where drugs will be "manufactured, stored, distributed, or used."

    some one sneaks drugs in, the owners have an event where he has apparently "allowed" drugs to be used....the club is shut down....

    in point...how can a club be reasonably expected to prevent people sneaking drugs in if they want to....

    ...strips searches on the door?

    ...security attendance in bathroom stalls?

    what are your proposed practical methods that would make this bill fair....

  7. PARTY HARDY ROCK AND ROLL DRINK BACARDI SMOKE A BOWL

    ....smoke a bowl, cos i don't know any wasters who work in macdonalds that smoke weed....

    ...have you heard of cannabis induced psychosis, i personally find weed affects my memory...

    know the facts..makes a decision,

    in england the police, yes the POLICE, have been lobbying to reduce the legal ratings of both weed and ecstasy, and steps have been taken to do so for weed (for possession not distribution)...

    the police can see from their own experience on the streets, that at dance clubs where there is more ecstasy than alcohol there is less aggravation and aggression, less people choking on their own vomit .....medical statistics show that there are a vastly greater number of fatalities and hospital admissions (as a percentage of users) for people drinking than doing e....

    when governments and schools say take e and you'll die (and don't give any other information), kids go out, see thousands of people do ecstasy, know its just not true ...

    the adverts should go something like this.....if you're thinking of trying e know that like any drug you could be allergic to it, it could be cut with any substance, it could induce psychosis, paranoia and affect you're memory, you don't need e to have a good time...

    ...going back to england, why didn't the government react to the police demands do pay less attention to these less harmful drugs(compared to heroin and crack)...because of image, to the middle aged voting heartlands of england, the government doesn't want to be seen to be 'soft'...the reality can not interrupt the image.....and thats even more true in the land of the free

  8. yeah cos everyone i know that ever took e works in macdonalds...

    no wait actually i know a lot of people with good jobs that recreationally use ectasy (as appose to abuse...where i take abuse to mean having a significant detrimental affect on your life)....

    these people have not been uaware of the associated risk of depression (due to serotonin depletion) and the affect on short term memory.....they have made an informed choice...

    for every drug legal and illegal there are people who abuse it

    rather than scare tactics and propaganda, proper education is the answer....so i won't hold it against you...

    the point hoke is making is that this bill puts the burden of enforcing a drug free environment on the club owners, in practical terms this is virtually impossible to enforce.....what are you going to do strip search everyone??

    this means that any drug occurence could result in the closure of a club, however reasonable a security policy they may have....

    every clubber is at risk of losing their clubs because of the sins of a few...

    let me ask you this how fare would it be if your friend had weed in his pocket in your car and didn't tell you, and you get pulled by the cops....you still think its fair that your car gets impounded

  9. for some reason back home in rainy england, i've come to think of underground as non-commercial, i don't mean unsuccessful or necessarily unpopular, just not out for profit...

    the outdoor, and warehouse parties i have been to have been run by system owners, with djs playing who also play in clubs.....

    the donations are voluntary and collected by guys with buckets to cover cost of any system, generator hire, van hire...

    there tends to be a social aspect of the scene that is to do with creating a sense of community, social collectives, squatting....

    i am not so morally righteous, there is a purely hedonistic side to these events that appeals to me, and they often involve electronic music that i love, having said that now i am here in your big city i miss that community feel alot....

    one such squat/part in leed was aspire...

    A wide array of events were organised over the three days, including a vegan café open throughout, local bands performing on the Friday, a DIY art space, acoustic and open mic sessions, a film festival and kids activities. People came and went throughout the day, to watch one of the films being shown, drop into the café or simply to sit and chat to people.

    Saturday night was the eagerly awaited party night. The focus was on the techno in the main room, organised, as befitted the night, by a loose collective of locals working under the name "Leeds Unified Techno Underground". The venue was packed on all four floors all night, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric - hundreds and hundreds of positive and open minded partygoers both from the local area, and beyond, came to socialise and dance together. In the main room downstairs, a live set by Johnny Sideways, and DJs including Rob DT, Evil Ed and Tony Montana, Selkirk, Janet Jinx, Antacid and Seismics from the Northern Techno Alliance, Danaki, Glowbones and Dinsdale came together to provide an awesome night of Yorkshire flavoured tekno. The air was thick with the sound of pounding beats, and the graphics and lighting display by Ungulation gave the crowd a visual treat to boot. Down in the bassment, the Terra sound system gave the night a well appreciated jungle alternative, and as if all that wasn’t enough, on the top floor the art space was transformed into a giant chillout area, complete with sound system, loads of seating, and DJs including Quip, Biggins, Glen,Tom, Si Splatt, Ben and Humphrey from LSD. Unstoppable!

    The party proved to be the peak of the weekend for many, but there was still another day to go. The music wound down by about nine in the morning to the sound of SpunkyJunk's funky house, and work started on rearranging the building for the daytime schedule. By 1 o’clock, the same room was filled to capacity again, this time for Leeds’ first showing of the banned film Injustice. The film, which focuses on the fate of three of the scores of people who have died in police custody over the last four decades, has faced an extremely hostile reaction from the Police Federation, who have threatened to sue any venue showing it. No problems with that here, though, and the showing went ahead as planned, followed by a talk by the film’s director, Ken Fero. Later, the weekend wound down with comedy and open mic sessions.
