Which is the drowsiest anti-histamine? I'm after something that can knock me out after a messy night out when there ain't valium around...
Get a prescription for a big pot of Piriton - couple of those will see you right. There are a couple of stronger ones (whose names escape me), but your Doc wont give you those unless you've got pretty severe eczema.

The dial code is 0117 not 01179! Grrr However Whitchurch is 01275 despite being in Bristol.
And Kingswood is 0117 despite being S. Glos.

I know a medical student who books himself a bed in hospital before he goes out for a heavy night so the next morning he can wander in a stick himself on a drip for a few hours, thereby avoiding a hangover.

I was trying to work out why you'd hit their email system after lifting a shadowed password file and rainbow tabling it, unless you;re draining bandwidth whilst trying to get root  Methinks you're being jingo-tastic mind ...  I think he's wanting to use rainbow tables to try and brute force a mailbox on that machine. I doubt any of the mailbox accounts would have shell access anyway so I don't really see the point.

Oh god if you want to start a campaign against the intrusion of unsolicited artwork in the public space, just vandalise some fucking billboards. Once you've single handedly slain the advertising industry, then you can see about destroying lovely pieces of artwork that cheer people up on a daily basis YOU UTTER UTTER FUCKING TWATS.
And ripping off Charlie Brooker? I mean really

Peacocks C&A BHS Clinton Cards Arena (maybe they went a while ago?)

C&A haven't existed in the UK for yeeeeeeears

those little white strips you see in roads right before speed cameras for example are speed sensors, and they calculate the average time it takes you to cross each one from the first to the last before deciding what speed you were going. i don't think 2 is enough to get an accurate idea.
That's so wrong it's almost funny! Gatsos use Doppler Radar to work out your speed. The white lines are just there as an extra visual layer of proof. The only sensors actually in the road are the ones laid into the cut marks in front of traffic lights. They're coils in the ground that work on the principle of inductance - the large metal object passing over the top alters the induction in the coil, signalling the presence of a car. Traffic enforcement cameras use two sets, one either side of the white stop line. Only speed system that averages your speed are the SPECS systems on motorways - a series of ANPR cameras average out your speed as you move between them. Nasty.

Everyone thinks that their own curry house is the best...

General / The Forum / Good clubs in Berlin?
|
on: February 12, 2008, 20:25:41

Right, me and my chums are off to the fair city of Berlin on the 21st and we'll be there for a week. I'd like to know where we should be looking for a decent night out raving.
Pretty much after some decent techno - in a cool club, friendly people etc. Also, a decent after club (i've heard the name "Panorama" mentioned...)
Google is notoriously for this kind of search; plus personal recommendations rule in these situations.

My friend asked him if he wanted to come for a drink with us and he replied ' I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't take drugs, I just make music and FUCK'
Oh wow he's like my exact opposite or something.

You're best off going to Jessops and getting them to take one for you.
The rules on passport photos are really strict now, and you take a big risk of them being rejected if you do it yourself. Jessops have special cameras for taking passport photos, with all the lines on the viewfinder to make sure it's all lined up correctly and shizznit.
Plus, they reckon if they fuck it up they'll do them again for free.

Not being used to leaping to the defence of BCC, I find what i'm about to type sticks slightly in my throat:
How, exactly, do you propose they avoid this in future? It was cancelled due to bad weather - not something that could be helped, and all things considered, £25k is not exactly going to break the bank. I would have expected a much higher figure.
And so a flower show isn't your cup of tea? Well, so fucking what. It's not mine either - but I have no doubt the increase in trade & commerce that it brings into Bristol as a result of being held here makes the cost worthwhile.
Total non issue, imo.

General / The Forum / Re: Bristol? - what do you guys think are its strongest musical genres?
|
on: November 09, 2007, 14:25:34

I couldn't disagree more Morris....liking house, techno, electro and dubstep is not a diverse taste imo! (NB I know that YOUR tastes are diverse mate but there are many people who's tastes i view are not).
Just because someone doesn't have 500gigs worth of recordings of a South African slapping his bellend against sea shells you assume they only like the musical genres generally discussed on this forum?

I had a dream tother night that I somehow (wish i could remember that bit!) managed to gain access to all the major record labels' bank details...I syphoned (sp?) off all the funds into grass roots music organisations, charities and youth centres around the world and left all the majors bankrupt.
I went to prison but I still felt a smug sense of self-satisfaction!
Is this an attempt at self-paraody?

..think that ketamine, valium, ghb and those similar are really, really cool to do
What the fuck? You've just mentioned three completely different substances, you berk. That's like saying "... think that cheese, mushrooms, lobsters and all that other similar food is really really good to eat" Lets cut to the chase; you just mean drugs that you personally find objectionable.

music peeps should know better than to pander to Mr Billy "I steal others work" Gates  I was wanderin round Tesco with a mate the otherday and he was asking about a PC package on deal there in relation to a time based media course he wants to do and my last words was yeah it's OK but you probably don't want that Vista gashness and dunno if Final cut Pro will work on anything non Mac without reducing you to tears and a random walks past saying "Yeah blahd Windows is jokes innit!" Seems my Easton mans know the score at least  Hahaha - what a load of utter bollocks. (FYI I use a macbook pro at home, and a windows pc at work).

Anyone know of any local artists that would be up for doing a private commission? Would be a fairly small piece - straight onto a wall. If you reckon you could do it or know someone that could - hook me up! Cheers
