Btw, the textbook was BASIC Language Programming for the Beginner by Crabtree, Stack & Smith (first printing in '84). Had lots of fun with that one, including acronyms such as CRAP ("CRAsh Proof"), TURD ("Totally Un-Readable Documentation") and RUM (a distilled beverage made from fermented cane products).

Hail Oh mighty one.
:worship: :worship: :worship: I remember reading that!!! I may even have it in my attic somewhere as I never chuck anything away..
I had an Apple 2e with 48K RAM, only upper case, and only monochrome, and learnt to program in Basic. In fact I've still got the Apple, along with a Commodore Pet up there somewhere. AND they still work.
Now teach Visual Basic Programming, and I'm not bad. ALL thanks to good old Reese.
It's a small world.

As everybody else seems to agree, IQ tests can be learned, so not a lot of use to judge somebody's intelligence.
On the other hand, when children leave primary school they have a VRQ (Verbal Reasoning Quotient) which is similar, and this is a very good indication of how intelligent they are.
Coupled with another test called CATS (Cognitive Assessment Tests), it is possible to predict, and quite accurately, how well a student will do in their GCSEs. Infact it is used to judge whether a school has 'added value' to a student's learning. The two tests can also be used together to target students that need special help.

OK..How many vote for the first w/e sept.....and i agree..lets keep it public!
I'll check this thread when i get back!
Of course keep the general planning public but follow the advice on here and don't give any details about the final place and times on open forums. We don't want lots of uninvited 'guests' turning up.

Some More!!
When ship builders made the old wooden warships the very last plank to be laid on the deck was called the devil. This was the small curved plank next to the edge of the ship.
It was very difficult to get this in and men used to hang off the edge of the ship to be able to place it in the correct position.
Hence they got into a dangerous position.... Between the Devil and the deep blue sea.
**************************************************************************************
To make storage easier on the ships, the plates used to be be square pieces of wood.
Hence the saying.... To get a square meal
***************************************************************************************
In the dark ages, when houses were made of mud, or other poor construction, people broke into houses very easily.
Gangs of men used to creep into houses in the middle of the night and steal young women.
So all the young women in the house used to sleep on a high shelf at night that could only be accessed by a ladder. As the women met men and married they left their father's house, and the ones that didn't get married were..left on the shelf.

When we started getting involved with other people we drew up a list of criteria that we thought were the minimum requirements.
We have always rigidly stuck to that and have not yet had a bad experience.
One example was a young guy who wanted to join us, and he had fairy tale looks. Sent a couple of photos, and Mrs Fac thought he was stunning. I thought he was too good to be true as the photos looked TOO professional and looked as if they were from a catalogue. When he was asked to go on cam, he always had an excuse and said that if we couldn't accept his excuse then not to bother. So we didn't.
It was just too good to be true. But my gut instinct said wrong, right from the beginning, although Mrs Fac was swayed by his good looks, she eventualy saw that it wasn't right
You are on your own and don't have anybody elses help in deciding, and I would think being a single male, you must be very tempted, as we all know that single males have difficulty making contact on here.
You have GOT to go with your first instinct. You KNOW it isn't right!!

I bow to all you high flyers with your Brownie badges and cycling proficiency.
I failed my cycling proficiency test as my bike was falling to bits. Something about brakes not working. I could always stop by putting my feet down so I can't see what the problem was.
Rich
PS it hasn't held me back.

I had a really bad time with stress earlier this year and couldn't sleep, and was reccomended a natural herb product called Valerian.
Absolutely did the trick for me but does leave you with a bit of a drowsiness hangover at the beginning of the day.
Once my sleep pattern was back to normal I didn't need it anymore
Can be bought in most health food shops

I gues that sometimes you just have to accept the inevitable. I think the great black dalek first penned the idea, and as it's his site, I suppose I am he who obeys.

Steve,
As much as i like my profession, I'd say to you to steer well clear of an IT career, unless thats what you 'really' want to do.
Paul and Susie (Paul)
Steve, there is another option with computers.
If you fancy only working half a day, having 14 weeks holiday a year, having one of the best pensions around, sitting around drinking coffee all day, telling people what to do all day, and generally having an easy life.
Then become a teacher. Schools are short of IT teachers at the moment so you would be welcomed with open arms.

You're absolutely right. Boobs have never hurt anyone. They're largely gentle and docile creatures. And, no, I don't think you have a problem at all. In fact, I'd get a pair myself...but I'd prob'ly have to lose the beard. :P
~Reese!
Reese mate I think you're right. Boobs topped by a full beard would probably put me off a little. Hairy boobs (if you've got a hairy chest) don't really light my candle either.

Ummmmm my favourite type

If theres a boobaholics anonymous out there can i have the contact details please, i totally agree with what Reese has said and think that its time i addressed the situation and sort professional help.hwoar:
Morbius, is it possible then to have too many boobs? Well when I say too many boobs, I don't mean the carrier, I mean the looker. :phwoar:
Personally I think not. In fact I'm certain of it. They've never done me any harm. Unless wanting to come back in the next life as a woman so I can have a big pair of boobs is a problem :happy:
Rich
I think Corrie is correct. You can treat them when you've got them but you won't get rid of them unless you treat the underlying cause.
Lots of fruit, or even multi-vitamin tablets will help.
And, God dare I say it, alcohol doesn't help because it can cause the body to wash out all the goodness in your blood.
And of course there's the old standby, lots and lots of water.

Mrs Fac has recently lost 3 stone and hasn't gone hungry once.
She tried the sort of (squeezes bum tightly and waits for the flack) Atkins Diet. I say the sort of, because she didn't follow it rigidly by eating all of the fat, but concentrated on cutting out all of the crap food that we ate.
So we don't now eat things such as pasta, potatoes, bicuits, and puddings.(Well we do have the puds occasionally)
She hasn't gone hungry once because she eats a proper breakfast and this lasts for most of the day.
Atkins works by using foods that take a long time to break down in the stomach. The energy is then released slowly throughout that period, and the brain does not register hunger because there is a steady supply of sugar to the blood which is used as it is produced.
Carbohydrates on the other hand, especially sugars, are broken down quickly and there is a huge rush of energy into the blood which the body can't deal with. Insulin is then released to mop this up and store as fat.
The idea is to keep the blood sugar level constant instead of having peaks and troughs making the brain register hunger. For snacks we have things such as chicken legs, or small salads, and after a while the craving for sweet things has disappeared.
We both feel much healthier, have lower cholesterol levels, and no stomach problems such as heartburn.
Only downside is the food bill has gone through the roof.
