My least favorite has to be the ¬ character. It's just so blatantly useless. I'm not sure I've ever has cause to use it before actually, and I'm also slightly worried that it is such a pointless character that IE won't even bother rendering it.

I'm going to Manchester tonite for a leaving do. More interesting to me, than anyone else. Recently ate chinese food. Yesterday ate a burger king whopper, and a McDonald's twisty meal McTripple jury rigged with a hamburger to produce a custom made McQuadruple burger. Just got a pay rise. Saw Mission to Mars, dont bother, its shite (bad lighting, no atmosphere). Velcroe curiosity increases. Awareness of pending Jon Ellis birthday, (May 10). Stopped drinking guiness. Changed my password. Still engaged to Clare. Have bought another CD Burner. Still like Palm Pilots. Want to watch Monkey Magic. Software product has been renamed a second time, Firenze->RiActiv->MPower (MPeople??), lets here it for hard-coded string literals. Gave up chocolate for lent, back on it. Received twelve creme eggs, and a cadbury's mini-heros egg, a chocolate lovers egg, and a toblerone egg. Fear excessive cusions. Am unable to relate to my caps-lock key, is this normal?

Three men had a very late night drinking Guinness. They
left in the early morning hours and went home their separate ways.

The next day, they all met for an early pint, and compared
notes about who was drunker the night before.

The first guy claims that he was the drunkest, saying, "I
drove straight home and walked into the house. As soon
as I got through the door, I blew chunks."

The second guy said, "You think that was drunk? Hell,
I got into my car and wrapped my car around the first
tree I saw. I don't even have insurance!"

The third guy proclaimed, "Damn, I was the drunkest by
far. When I got home, I got into a big fight with the wife,
knocked a candle over, and burned the whole house down!"

The room was silent for a moment. Then, the first guy
spoke out again, "Listen, guys, I don't think you understand... Chunks is

Oooh, SETI? What's the point of searching for extraterrestrial intelligence when we are so simple. We'd never understand it if we found it. It would be like a frog trying to understand nuclear physics. And if the ETI was simple enough to transmit a load of shit into the galaxy, then we probably don't want to know them as they are as crap as us. Yeah, that's right! And what if we do get a transmission, the civilisation would have died out long before our response gets to them. And it would probably start a war anyway. What if the ETI were just a bunch a bastards? What if the they sent a message like 'Give us a cup of sugar or we'll blow your tiny blue planet into tiny pieces'. And we misread it and sent out the usual reply about being humans and pieceful, they'd blow us away. I don't want to be a part of the downfall of the human race, thankyouverymuch. If they try any of that Mars Attacks stuff on us, I'll say 'OI, ET. SOD OFF!', that's what I'll do.

Sorry, I seem to have roamed from the point. Oh.

Radstock Road SETI Group, is a group of people, For example Me so far. When you do your seti calculations, on the P.C. the data is sent back to the server. Info is stored on the server about who you are. If you join a group then the group can do more work than just one person, due to more than one person being in the group. I have created a group. It is called Radstock Road. This means that we, the users of the fabulous message board can become part of a seti group which will earn us more points. And we all know what points make. (Sharp Objects) Sorry that this is extremely long and very boring and makes no sense, but John asked for it so here it is. Oh and I don't give a shit.

If you are nerdy then there is a SETI Group now called Radstock Road. Go on you know you want to put the SETI app on every desktop at work. You know you are dying to do it.

Seti is based at: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

Who is that me there then? And why don't you like Thames Trains Tom? I got a Thames Train from Paddington to Reading right in the middle of the rush hour the other day, and it wasn't that packed or delayed and I could use my travelcard thing on it and EVERYTHING. So I currently quite like Thames Trains.

Hi, I'm the Reverend John Ogden, but you can call me God MkII. I have noticed that a Mr DSP has basically asked me to eat my shorts. Now even though I am Better Than God, I will not do this, as it is Tantamount to devil worship. I am your Messiah, in fact you should Praise me, Praise me, Praise me like you doooooooooooo.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o. o o o o o oo

In retaliation Mr DSP I will now ask my son to parade nude throughout Reading and it's many villages which share the ammenities this fine town has to offer.

P.S. To avoid any unpleasant plagiarism enquiries I would...

1. Like to acknowledge JAE for devising/implementing a enumeration technique.
2. Pay him for this (cheque in the post).
3. Blatantly take the piss (John you're shit).
4. Like to acknowledge JH1 for the blatantly taking of the piss.
5. Mrs Hampson (my junior school teach), who allowed me and a friend to draw pointy teeth onto our less-than/greater-than crocodiles just for shits and giggles.
6. Like to acknowledge Austin Powers for shits and giggles.
7. Like to acknowledge the Lizard like qualities of John, about which we all seem to have forgotten.

We are finding that username: DSP is behaving vary odly and it appears has not been among southerners for a while. We recommend that he takes a trip on down.

Re: Earlier Gay crocodile statement

1. Crocodiles are an educational device used to teach junior school children the orientation of less than/greater than.
2. The crocodiles are hungry
3. They have their open-mouth at the bigger number.
4. Gay crocodiles like it up the apple-fritter.
5. To allow this, must face the other way.
5a. If taking it.

There, hope that cleared that up.

A few points using Ellis's patented enumeration system...

1. Jon: I had my hair cut like over a year ago!
2. Also, if you were looking at my cam thing, that picture is a bit out of date, although coincidentally I am wearing the same jumper today.
3. Regarding my earlier post, I thought Rob would see it as I didn't want him to think I wasn't coming in so he'd end up going for lunch without me, what with lunch being just about the only thing that's been getting me out of bed recently.
4. I have a cold. It sucks.
5. It is still raining here.
6. I am, however, on campus now.
7. False. (pfffffff)
8. I want to be a woman.
9. One of the above statements may not be true.
10. What's all this about gay crocodiles...?
11. Did anyone else watch Driller Killer last night?
12. Has Tom told everyone else about bumping into Courtney? I was kind of expecting a post on the message board...
13. Me and Rob are on IRC. Yep, it's all going round in weird circular shaped things.

U Rssss.

4) Tim is great.
5) Everyone (There are clearly too many to mention) are all great.
6) We need a DSP intrusion very soon to make this message board sound a bit more Douglas Adams ish.
7) Did I tell everyone, I've got a company car, don't you know. What.
8) I also bragg at the slightest provocation.
9) I am gay.
10) One of the above statements is false. All others are true.
11) The above statement might be false.
12) I can count no further than twelve.
