Re: School Rules (pocket edition) (Horsham)
in the spring before we started we got sent a little yellow booklet of school rules, some of them absolutely hilarious. i got it sent in 1996, and it was the 1993 (or possibly 1992) edition. when i got there i found that most of the rules no longer applied. grrrrreat.

May I propose a small amendment to this, namely that we should start with effective sex education and condoms for the country with the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in Europe and an ever -increasing rate of STDs - the United Kingdom! Let us solve our own problems before we start preaching to ...

Wow, a surprisingly egalitarian sentiment coming from this forum! That's made my day. :D I agree, largely (even though there is Parkinson's Disease in my family, and it's an area of medicine where they have just started making huge advances but are no where near finished). I think the money we spend...

Looks like the Radiohead experiment worked. Conventionally they would have received aroun 20-50 cents per album, this way they averaged $2.28 per album. Quite a mark up...

Das Experiment - for those of you who speak German. Probably available with subtitles for those of you who don't. A take on the Stanford Prison Experiment. The Power of One - a fantastic film about South Africa in WWII. The dormitory scenes were shot in Lamb B. Twelve Monkeys - a headf--k, but very...

Fiona Bruce was being used as an analogy, what with the long running joke of her random appearances in polls on this forum. Glad none of that was wasted on you two. Yes the concept of owning a woman is absurd. The concept of owning ANYONE is absurd. Whether it be owning mine workers in the Third Wor...

Incidentally, 'The Man Who Sued God' is a very worthy film starring Billy Connelly, about the insurance companies' 'Act of God' escape clause. As for downloading out of convenience, same for me. I've just downloaded two Offspring albums which I already own on CD, but I can't be bothered to leave the...

I've numbered your points to make answering them easier 1) Re. music, and radio-play - yes, you can record off the radio, but if EVERYONE did that, what would be the logical consequence?? 2) If we resign ourselves to that, then why do the recording artists bother releasing the album for download on ...

Just because it's freely capable of being duplicated, doesn't mean the creator isn't due some financial return on their effort to create it... The only grey area in my opinion is where something has ALREADY been aired on TV, and you just forgot to record it to watch later - then I have no qualms ab...

I'd be interested to hear the opinions of the forum about the ethics of this. "It's illegal, therefore it's wrong to do it." - You are, of course, entitled to this viewpoint. If this is more or less your viewpoint, or part of it, please don't be long winded about it! It amounts to stating ...
