Which story and chapter?

Jason, sorry to hear about your eye problems. We take our eyes so much for granted, and having thought about it - albeit briefly - I'd be absolutely devastated if I couldn't see. Frightening stuff.Anyway, glad you're on the mend. Wibby's right. Try an LCD if you can.Cheers,Camy

There goes another slice of my childhood.

The story was great, but what made it even better for me was listening to TR reading it. This is not a slick studio piece with a musak intro, this is a straight read through; and I defy anyone, even a professional voice over artist, to read for nearly twenty minutes in such an entertaining fashion. Bravo TR

That's easy. He's given up on the 2.4 children, so that actually means, with school; he's got 1.1 jobs. Unless you count worm wrangling.I'm more interested in what is Critical Thinking/Logic, and how it relates to mis-matched socks.

It won't go away, and you can't finish 'mending' until you've got it out of your system. That doesn't mean you have to publish what you've written ... but you should finish writing it. Camy

Thanks, chaps!

It's the shoes. Obviously. If you're a psychotic foot fetishist, then clowns (with or without red noses) will set you off. or Perhaps the clowns were engaged in smuggling exotic foot powder. Matt Damon has signed for the movie 'Good Clown Hunting'

Chapter two came out earlier. I've got a sore throat, and am feeling bleh, so it was a bit like finding a forgotten Christmas present under an apple tree (must work on analogies), it made me happy Great story, Cole!

Spontaneous 13 by Camy Spontaneous erections have caught me out before, but now I'm definitely in control, it won't happen any more. ‘He’ popped up at the doctors; who blushed, coughed, and wrote a note. He sprang to attention when I saw the guy, who stars in my favourite soap. ‘He’ didn’t pay attention, when I begged him to behave: I had to pretend it was all a joke, when I bussed a guy called Dave. The next month ‘he’ was harder; more than ‘he’ was soft. I remember the discomfort very well; ‘He’ was a bitch, though well aloft. Then a subtly creeping anguish, forced me to sit and think … it wasn’t girls that got ‘him’ excited, it was guys - some dressed in pink! It was guys ‘he’ liked, and no mistake: It was guys who floated ‘his’ boat. Girls did nothing; zilch, nada, zip - but guys let ‘him’ freely emote…. --- I was thinking about the thread 'Spontaneous erections' and I remembered a summer a long time ago, in a land far, far away - when I was 13. I'm almost entirely unconvinced about the punctuation - and it hasn't been near Kitty's wondrous red pen.

Thank you very much. I had no idea, and of course, now I have another question. Why? A DLP projector seems to have an awful lot that can go wrong with it. I gather that DLP produces more light, so can be used in a brighter environment, but as we'll be moving our projector around a lot, would it still be the best choice? I didn't realize that the screen made such a big difference either ... now, having turned on my brain, it seems obvious! Thanks again, Camy

A couple of questions, if I may (Please excuse my naivety, but I still have an ordinary DVD player and a TV). Is the actual difference between DVD and Hi Def really that marked? I know everyone says it's phenomenal ... but is it actually worth the extra money. I'm in a band, and we are thinking of getting a projector for stage (which I can use at home too). Is it worth going HD for it? Thanks, Camy

I'll say no more, except thanks for the link, Kitty

Thank you! My father used to recite part of the Felicia Dorothea Heman's version, and I'd entirely forgotten. Chapter 13 is wonderful! Camy

Cupidic Machinations by Camy "Ouch! where did that come from?" he said plucking the arrow from his breast As he glanced across the dining hall at the one he hated - but now loved best "Oh no he's seen me looking!" he muttered and forlornly sunk his head on chest Then on his next sneak peak their eyes locked and they both felt a deep unrest "No, no, no, this can't be real!" he cursed as both of them got to their feet And in front of all their friends they blushed, then kissed and finally were complete Laughing in the rafters Cupid danced with glee "Another couple of pining fools are happy now, thanks to me!" --- Valentine's day is nearly here!!!

So how did you get on, TR?

There's nowt wrong with country music. UK is best. Try the Rolling Stones.

This looks really interesting, though I'm a tad dubious because it come from Russia. I'm not anti Russian, it's a fantastic country. But Russian software has a reputation for coming complete with its own embedded spyware. Will it really run MS programs? Please keep us updated as you use it, Camy

This 'looks' amazing. Best of all it's good for win2000 upwards, and free. -- I've downloaded, installed, and it seems fantastic. 'scuse the superlatives, but I'm excited :)

I like this TR. Youth and sex is a powerful commodity, and one we all had. Unfortunately, most of us realise it after the event; when it's too late. --- edited to say: perhaps 'commodity' is a bad choice of word.

Ha! I did that on my birthday three years ago. Gave a lot of people, a hell of a shock. The neat thing, is that it helps your hair growth. You'll find it comes back thicker, and faster, than before.

It's so nice to find something as good as Hidden Frontiers. I've just watched 'Countermeasures' - season six episode 1. When I was small, we used to get together at the weekends to make short films, but nothing like this. Apart from some hammy acting - then I thought Captain (hands on hips) Janeway was rather over the top at first - it's truly amazing, and I recommend it to any Star Trek fans. Seven seasons as well!

I didn't find the gay spoof, but what I did find made me ... well, jolly excited would cover it. http://hiddenfrontier.com/

That's pretty much killed MS for me too. Thanks for the link, though I wouldn't suggest reading it if you're paranoid about the future and Big Brother.

Vista, the greatest new operating system since sliced silicon, has finally arrived. What do you all think? Is it worth upgrading? If you're gonna upgrade, which version of Vista will you be forking out for? As for me, well I'm going to wait and see. I'm still happy with 2000, and still use a PIII at 600mhz, and, sorry Bill, but Linux looks just as neat - and much less intrusive.
