Smoking no, never. I was a heavy drinker in my teens and 20s, gave that up because I was getting fat (I’m vain, deal with it!). At that time, I started taking MDMA and speed. It was the late 90s, so it was a pretty standard for the rave and alternative scenes at the time. Gave that up when I got Menieres disease in my early 40s. Now I have one drink once or twice a month, but mostly drink plain old water.

Im still trying to figure out what that means. How does @ resolve to an IP address?

Me too… my first code was for Commodore PET. Then I got an Amiga. Sad day when Commodore folded.

I’ve worn progressive lenses for nearly 10 years now. I did get one pair on the cheap, and they were truly awful, unusable. That’s when I figured out that going cheap with progressive lenses isn’t worth it. That may be what has happened to you. Even with good lenses, it takes me a few days, maybe a week to get used to them when I get a new pair. Stairs are… difficult though, especially going down. I live in a busy European city, so I use public transport a lot, and that means lots of stairs. I can no longer run up and down them like I used to.

We had a black cat called WYSIWYG. She wasn’t one of those feeble metal cats, she was punk rock, through and through. She destroyed so much… including her own tooth. She settled down eventually, but fuck me, it took a while.

Write, email, telephone- whatever works best for you.

It’s not been ratified yet. Time to put pressure on our MPs.

Indeed, and the kicker is that 4% is on turnover, not profit. That can really hurt.

It’s at least a hefty fine in the EU - enough to kill a business.

Is it true about the U.S. constitution? I want to learn more…
