  Do you trust the internet?

  by mtbatoon in

  .

  sparked off by an interview on the radio today about the growth of independent news websites, do you see them as untrustworthy or do you think that with the freedom and exchange of information that the internet provides a community can police itself and bring a truer picture than accredited sites?

  Fishy problem.

  by mtbatoon in

  so ive had this fish tank set up for a year and a bit and the stock has slowly dwindled through one thing or another, the main being a bad water change when the ph dropped and some rather nasty silver tipped tetras who seem to have bullied themselves down to two in number.

  current residences are a plecostomous, coolie loach and the two remaining tetras.

  on saturday i bought five lady guppies and two flying foxes.

  From my limited knowledge of goldfish I believe this is common problem with their swim bladder, a sack used for buoyancy. I believe the fish will live but with a slightly reduced lifespan.

  On an update for my own tank one of the Flying Foxes isn't looking too health at the momment Edited to add link http://www.aquariumfish.net/catalog_pages/goldfish_and_koi/goldfish_swim_bladder.htm

  For me if a post isn't going well I ask myself did I put the title in the form of a question?

  For example:

  Is this a shameless plea for attention?

  made light of the whole ordeal.. turned it into a 4-day mini-vacation; 4 days away from kitchen and house chores!

  we all got to stay in a very plush hotel in the theme parks area of orlando, fl.

  walked around the some main attractions during the evenings.. took a lot of notes, but just in order to stay awake, not that anything said is new stuff really.

  So do you think the org should branch out into package holidays/vacations and leave the old book and magazine publishing behind? Could be a nice little earner, it worked for Thomas Cook

  Giving blood is easy as long as your fit and calm, do it on a quiet day, no exertions before or after. I find I actually feel quite good after giving.

  I've given a few pints in my time but I've fallen out of the habit since they moved the location they use. I'll take this as a reminder to start up again.

  Dungeons and Dragons game & JW urban legends

  does anyone remember this game from (i think) the early '80s?

  it's a role playing game of some sort that included some violent imagery or something.. i remember jws (and the media, come to think of it) making a big, big deal of it.

  something like it was demonized or made kids murder people.
