UK : East : Former raver claims "drugs ruined his life" its harsh what happened to this chap - but I've been partying just as long (if not longer) -so have a lot of other people I know and they haven't had such bad experiences
its all about knowing when to calm down and take a break...
A FORMER raver has issued a stark warning to youngsters in Ipswich about the dangers of party drugs after speaking publicly of the depression and paranoia that led to him attempting to take his life on SIX separate occasions.

record shop Man walks into a record shop and asks the young boy behind the counter if he has Jingle Bells on a 7"
The young boy replies "No, but I've got Dangling Balls on a 12"
Is that a record the man replies?
It must be, the boy replied..... I'm only 15

Old but great game Hello,
Bud redhead game ( http://www.fungamesplaza.com/pd-star_defender_ii.html ) is a great game; anyone knows other games in the same style? I am specially interested in high quality remakes after old hits such as Galaga, Space Invaders, etc.... These games are great, and I would like to have as many of them as possible.
:crazy:
Computer Help One of my laptops (Averatec 35000)can no longer see the cd drive (slimtype combo SOSC-2483k) Device manager says "windows successfully loaded the drivers for this hardware but cannot find the device"
The drive seems to be connected as it trys to read a cd so obviously has power,as far as im aware a cd drive doesnt need any drivers other than those supplied with windows (using xp by the way),any one have any ideas for a fix? or is the drive fooked.
have tried removing the device and rebooting but get the "windows successfully guff again":yakk:
UK : Things…. could nearly have been better…. OK that probably doesn't scan very well and it was a shit pop dance tune anyway, but I was thinking about how things were 10 years ago and around the time Blair first got in...
Even then I was sceptical about a lot of the spin and the bullshit like the millennium dome, but he seemed more like an overbearing but well meaning Christian youth club leader (whom you could run rings round) rather the troubled-looking, old, warmonger control freak he has now become....
the country was still a bit fucked (especially after Major) but there was the start of the dot-com euphoria and all this wonderful new multimedia technology (even if half of it didn't quite work properly and you had to use sketchy dial up connections..)
plus - best of all, you genuinely were being given a "bit of a chance" to do something "alternative". I'm not sure whether it was by accident or design, but the nanny state surveillance methods (although extant, having been put into place in the mid 90s post CJA by the Tories) weren't at all being used to their full extent - you could get away with anything it seemed - squatting, parties, drugs.. jobs were easy to get and had loads of slack time and resources as well.....
anyone else was around on the scene at that time notice this?
my friends at the time were cracking a new squat every other weekend ; often they'd have one set of buildings to live in and another to party! the cops never gave us any real grief either, nor even the property companies....
There were also times when it did seem that a deliberate "laissez-faire" strategy was in operation to see how "cool britannia" (remember that?) coped with less regulation (stuff like cannabis "decriminalisation", the Lambeth experiment, superclubs (which clearly were linked with dance music/drugs culture rather than booze) actually getting licensed etc....
The govt even tolerated the Exodus lot and let them buy the farm at the last minute instead of evicting them (a minister does not make a u-turn like that without being authorised to do so)
In hindsight, were we all given a chance and fucked it up?
