"This sounds like a job for Vishnunu! You just put your feet up and have a rest." <'> Cinders guides brook to the nearest Comfy Chair, heads to the kitchen and returns with a bottle of Pinot and a fresh pack of hobnobs. Trailing behind him is the multi-armed marvel that is Vish. "Is there anything else you'd like him to do while he's at it?" asked Cinders as he starts programming in the mission details. Half an hour later the programming is done and Vish is off. "That shouldn't take him more than half a day, what with his infinite number of arms, so you just put your feet up and the girls will keep you entertained with a few of baddad's more embarrassing moments. [while sneakily, subconsciously, slowly destroying your will to leave ]" Just before you go, Cinders, I must ask: have you always had those tufty squirrel ears? "What!?! " and Cinders races off to the bathroom, hands to head. "Oh dear," says Suze. "I'm afraid he's a bit sensitive about that. All the hibernating he's been doing. Every time he gets up it's the same. He's been having a bad hair year. Amazing, considering how little hair he has. We tried offering him some hair gel, but he just looked like he'd been shampooing in chip fat! And after sleeping with it on he looked like that guy from The Prodigy for a week (at last - a use for that avatar!). So best not to mention it again, he's a bit sensitive."

It could mean that Phasmid is going to have an identical thread in the next couple of weeks and that reading the string theory has knotted your sense of time

Hi SV Podcast is just a pretentious word for an mp3 file. The only difference is that they are usually done as a series (one a week/month) sort of like a radio show. TMBG and Scratch are both monthly, and using a program like iTunes, you can get your computer to automatically download the latest one when it comes out. The most poular pocast in the world is In Our Time, the radio 4 'explain something monumentally complicated in 43 minutes' show which, imho, means there's hope for the world yet. I saw Elvis in 77 too, and remember him doing ' I just don't know...' (he also did it on The Old Grey Whistle Test, I seem to remember). It was the high point of the gig, as most of his own material sounded better on the record (maybe it was just a bad night for him). Unfortunately this gig is a recording of his first gig in the States, so it's almost all Armed Forces tracks. It's a very slick performance, though, and has had me dredging up memories from when I was nicknamed 'Elvis' just cos I had the same glasses and haircut nemo

It was brilliant - explained it all in a simple, easy to understand way, as it had done 10 years earlier explaining Chaos theory. They were so good that people kept borrowing the tapes I'd made until the inevitable happened - someone didn't return them and I couldn't remember who . I wonder if they're available online...

That's what comes of making you a moderator and letting you out of the batcave! I'm lost for words. Which explains why I'm still in the 600s Keep up the good work

And there's a few more here; http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/index.html enjoy

This month's favourites: Green day - American Idiot (excellent for doing housework to) Lee "Scratch" Perry podcast They Might Be Giants podcast Elvis Costello live '77 Orbital - Dublin & Amsterdam 1999 Vivian Stanshall - Rat Juggler and all this talk of Rush has got me listening to them again for the first time since Permanent Waves, specifically The Appliance of Science (Live 1980) - the 3 drumkit drum solo was much better seen than heard, though. Can anyone recommend any comedy thrash/punk/metal (other than Me First and the Gimme Gimmes )?

Thanks for that, Daisy. Torrentspy has it, so there will be something worth watching here on saturday night There aren't enough movies made by mathematicians these days nemo

Hope it goes well. And if there is anyone who can't get in, you can tell them that Ian is doing another talk at the 3D centre in Halifax on Friday. Thet sent out 3000 flyers to all schools, LEAs, etc. etc. and there will be 5 people there And at Halifax they get a pub lunch Have a great evening nemo

Just been to the BBC news site - FRONT PAGE NEWS! The Ban has been lifted

That's how i do it, but Zemanski visualises the section she's done and looks at the prevoius one on the list. We're both slow at it, though. Can other people just recite the alphabet backwards witout trouble - do they learn it as a separate sequence? I can read upside-down and backwards just as well as normal though, which was useful when i was a typesetter, but can be dangerous with some signs written on roads (No Entry upside down on one-way roads has been known to make me do an emergency stop!) I'll stop now cos Z won't stop correcting my typing nemo

Only 2 different teas? You lucky thing. Here it's usually 3 - one for Com, one for Dot and one for Zem (1 AS, 2 bowel problems and 3 fussy eaters). I do all the cooking and usually I'll share the one I like most, but when things are bad I won't eat at all. Luckily Com has recently discovered a love of morroccan tagines, which both he and Z like, so tonight is going to be a 2mealer with Dot having tuna and rice. I'll probably have a mix of all the leftovers (tuna and tagine/curry just don't mix, but I can't stand wasting food). Daisy - Happy anniversary and if you haven't tried the channa puri, do. If it's not too oily it's usually a wonderful starter!

That would be the possum jalfrezi with koala naan and eucalyptus raita Or have I misunderstood 'eat-out possum'?

"So... can we have your liver then?"

From what i remember (probably from the same programme) the Big Bang was caused by the collision of two superstrings, according to the theory. Apparently it happens all the time, creating a new universe each time. And I vaguely remember it saying that strings are like ripples in water, but made from energy, so they were probably created by the shockwave of the initial collision . Probably... Either that or God 's throwing little energy pebbles into the cosmic energy pool (in a very Zen sort of way ) The strangest email I ever got was from a professor of String theory asking permission to use my work in one of his papers . my work was on celtic knotwork , but he never sent me a copy of his paper, so i never learned what happens when a cosmic string gets knotted (cue baddad )

138 - Visionary philosopher and Dot got 127 When I was in a US school, we used to do one of these tests every friday afternoon in 3rd Grade, so that at the end of the year, when we took the official test, we were so used to them that we got at least 20 points higher than we had at the start of the year Later i looked into the work of Hans Eysenck and his famous fraudulent IQ tests, and his critics. Eysenck used his results to 'prove' blacks weren't as intelligent as whites, so others produced tests that used things urban kids would relate to and 'proved' that black kids were more intelligent than Yale students . Imho most IQ tests aren't worth the paper they're written on (or html they're written in ), but they're usually great fun.

She has lost a lot of weight lately, but not that much!

I think you'll find the ASD fairy is busy making multicoloured mayhem in the batcave

Helped by Cinders' latest culinary experiment - Rainbow croissants Brush croissants lightly with melted butter, sprinkle with hundreds and thousands and put under the grill for a minute to melt them - psychedelic breakfast With the added bonus that, because of his multicoloured Irlen lenses, Judgey can't see them so there's all the more for us! p.s. I think I chose the wrong week to give up drinking

Well, something I said last night to the DH must have had an impact. At 8:15 I spoke to the DH on the phone to find out what to do about today - the advisor was due to see Com and the school didn't want to put it off - and she told me they are not excluding him until tomorrow and that she is making further enquiries to see if the exclusion is appropriate so Com has gone to school (oblivious to everything) and the letter was handed into the office and I managed to get out without speaking to anyone but Com's main LSA who didn't even know an incident had occurred!!!!! Zemanski

It's being deconstructed in Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe tonight at 10.30 on BBC4. Fans will probably not want to watch

On the other side of the spiked steel fence that keeps the kids from egging the place at night Tomorrow will be fun - letter to head massively hinting at legal threats, Com in meltdown and it's Z's birthday

In fact they only have eucalyptus trees in Australia, and every year they lose their leaves to pharmaceutical companies for making cold cures for us lot
