I'm asking the question Mr. Tea because I want to clarify what waffle means there.

I wasn't going to say anything because I don't usually intend to comment on something just to say I think it's rubbish but I was typing anyway in response to T's question and that just came out. ;) Can't knock the comparison because that's just your pov but I was just expecting something else...

Waffle, presumably you acknowledge that a great many people do deliberately binge-drink to the point of chronically impaired senselessness? Do you mean to say then that they don't expect to get that wasted, or do you mean that they don't think it's a bright idea but choose to do it anyway?

It's Kirsty Hawkshaw / Opus 3's It's A Fine day as sampled by Orbital in Halcyon And On And On as Padraig said I think. That song in the video is a bit boring though innit. Kind of flat, was expecting more from the '92 'Ardkore comparison.

Thanks but I think you just can't see what I'm saying. And thanks for the further pedantic lesson on drugs. I say kilos because you know in a lot of places an ounce isn't going to *cause* you trouble, but it's no big deal. You miss the point, the examples were presented in a slightly humorous...

Nitrous Oxide balloons would definitely be a winner.

Precisely the sort of thing R. Buckminster Fuller was interested in, actually it's not even necessarily more complicated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Game

Statistically speaking it would be disproportionate unless the officer was stopping about 50 times as many white men.

Can recommend Asakusa in Mornington Crescent for sure. Some online opinions seem a bit ambivalent but I had a great meal when I went there. Lots of Japanese people up in the place so seems quite 'authentic'. http://www.sushiordeath.com/raw/asakusa-mornington-crescent-london/2007/

Intelligent / sophisto / coffee-table wonky = wanky Ironically detached wonky = winky Mnml wonky = dinky Scouse techno wonky = donky! :)

Wonky happy-hardcore could be really good actually. In small doses.

I think the idea of *cause* was only mentioned on this thread in the context of totally negating the notion, or otherwise merely in the sense of meaning 'a factor in contributing to the statistical likelihood'. Clearly no one actually means a person's behaviour can *cause* them to be attacked...

It's a choice isn't it, surely? But like I say, I'm asking about this idea of 'altering one's life'. What does it mean? You make choices, when you drive a car you probably choose to do it conscientiously. Is what it really means a refusal to be ruled by fears? Fears which may not even be well...

You can do whatever you please, there is no should about it. No not at all, I'm asking what it means to say, as you say, to 'alter one's life'. Presumably you make choices all the time, you alter your behaviour based on your response to circumstances as you perceive them. You don't have to do...

I agree with the sentiment but does anyone have to alter their life for any reason? You may as well say no-one 'should' have to do anything. What does it mean to 'alter your life', to alter it away from what - what you would rather do or not do? How far do you take it? Is it altering your life...

Somewhere in a room there is a Chinese speaking person using an elaborate system of punch cards in an attempt to determine if the previous post was composed by a human Mr. Tea, a Ms. Tea or a computer manipulating symbols in a suitably convincing Tea-esque mode, and whether any of these...

You don't need a functioning banking system to use cash, especially if it's in a currency that is good for trading with other nationalities. You do need a functioning banking system for electronic transfers and so on. I would imagine they prefer dollars or euros. Pieces of eight?

From soundslike's musicophilia thread but I thought it would be more appropriate to carry on here. Not from the same era at all but I like the album Elpmas he recorded in 1991 with Andi Toma, later of Mouse On Mars. More canons, lots of marimba (sampled it seems!). It's a blinder actually...

The generative permutations thing it does when idle is nice. Lots of music and sound apps around for iPhone / iPod Touch (although there are some issues with iPod Touch compatibility* for some things I think). Ocarina is kind of silly. God, imagine someone doing that on the train/bus in the...
