Is there a doctor in the house?

Big congratulations to Leon on passing his viva - he deserves it. Its always a time of mixed emotions when a fellow conrade goes through his rite of passage. Happinness at their success, panic for our impending deadline! Or in the case of someone who shall remain nameless (Colm), you don't know what they're going through but you know they require a psychiatrist!

SSMH are trying to kill my PC

hmm, was on maz's site yesterday and was terribly excited to see there were videos of the recent SSMH gig. I downloaded one of them, stuck my earphones in the computer and then it went all funny. In effect, my computer is now colour-blind and seems to only recognise some colours. Have no idea how to correct it. In any case, my PC is not quick enough for the video so I saw snippets of it but did manage to see O do a lot of headbanging! Didn't spot SSMH Fan Club reps for Areas 105 and 105, I hear they're hot...ouch

save the animals

Some disturbing information about the 'inner lives' of some families have come to my attention. People contradict themselves all the time but I have deep concern for poeple who, on the hand, love and take care of animals, and on the other take sadistic joy in killing them. Not just killing them, but killing them... slowly... so they can hear them scream. According to Envirolink's own Bill of Rights for Animals, "All animals are born with an equal claim on life and the same rights to existence". Worth noting is a Psychiatry and Mental Health Services - FAQ: How do I know if my child needs help? Apparently signs that a child has emotional problems include hurting or killing animals. If you suspect that someone you know kills animals, they are lilely to have severe emotional problems so contact http://www.mentalhealthireland.ie/default.asp and www.ispca.ie of course

would you?
