[ql-users] Jochen and QL Toady
Morning all, Just read Jochen's write up in the latest QL Toady. Just a quick work to Jochen : Jochen, I'm afraid I have to say this bluntly, but if you think that getting a magazine out on time is more important that your own health, then you need serious help. For goodness sake, if the magazine is late then so be it. There are priorities in life and a bi-monthly good read is far down the list of priorities. Now, having said that, I hope everything is going well now. Next up, the magazine - whatever happened to Volume 8 Issue 1 :o) Cheers, Norman. - Norman Dunbar Database/Unix administrator Lynx Financial Systems Ltd. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0113 289 6265 Fax: 0113 289 3146 URL: http://www.Lynx-FS.com - This email is intended only for the use of the addressees named above and may be confidential or legally privileged.

RE: [ql-users] Fatuous emails
Roy, Maybe you could write a program to delete female junk from bathrooms - along the lines of that Linux game where you have to destroy the PCs while Bill Gates is sneaking in and installing them - Dilwyn should be good at that. In the Linux game, you at least have a chance of winning. In the 'womanly junk' game, you have no chance whatsoever !

RE: [ql-users] Bunsen Banging (WAS is minus one = -1?)
I've just noticed, but isn't 'breathed out' air still high in oxygen and only about 4% CO2 ? As in my old BSAC diving exam questions : Going in Nitrogen 79% ish Oxygen 20% ish Rare Gasses 1% ish Coming out ... Nitrogen 79% ish Oxygen 16% ish Rare Gasses 4% ish Cheers, Norman. - Norman Dunbar Database/Unix administrator Lynx Financial Systems Ltd. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0113 289 6265 Fax: 0113 289 3146 URL: http://www.Lynx-FS.com - -Original Message- From: John Hitchcock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 11:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ql-users] Bunsen Banging (WAS is minus one = -1?)

CO2 mainly - so no explosion. All it did was make the teachers demo burner go out. Some classes connected to water --- The water was **my** style. Problem was an accomplice - already secreted in the cupboard under trhe bench - was needed for the trick. Spend two marbles/ lend Hank Jansen/ promise a date with your sister- or the like. METHOD (To be neatly written up in chemistry 'best' book) 1. Connect a bench-water to an adjacent bench gas-tap. 2. Turn off all bunsens. 3. Sit, with attentive forward look, on the bench in front of step-1 connection. 4. Wait until Dicky-Stink (!) was ready with his demo - on the front bench. 5. 3 smart 'just swingin' your leg' heel-kicks to the under-bench door. 6. [The skilful bit - took practice] With hands behind your back, turn on the Step-1 above, water and gas taps. 7. Enjoy the enormous roof-reaching fountain that followed a spluttering front-tbench burner. 8. Do detention (again!) Note: The method never appeared on exam paper - as far as I know. Pity!

[ql-users] Archive/Pipedream
A year or two ago I updated the Archive/Pipedream QL/Z88 transfer programs of mine. Sadly, the master disks are corrupt here and someone else needs a copy. Does anyone have a copy they could send me which I could forward? (Seems strange to be asking for a copy of my own programs!) Also, Darren if you are listening, I need a copy of the source files for the little SORTER database. I have the main program files but the source disks are unreadable. -- Dilwyn Jones

Hey...that's a great one! My son and I often play the 'Pie Gates' game where you have to lob custard pies at Bill Gates. Will think about this...a game where you have to destroy PCs while they are being installed sounds like a great idea! -- Dilwyn Jones
Re: [ql-users] Attention of Tony Firshman
- Original Message - From: Roy wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] I normally hold the Hove show late Feb or Early March. This year's was later because of the AGM but, if you want to go for a London show in January I will move the Hove one to the end of April. Is that OK for everyone ? -- In your absence both on the list and privately, there has been a little bit of traffic on this and January seems a good idea for a London show. If you go for late April one problem could be the QUANTA AGM. I suspect Manchester may want this so that it is north and south in alternate years. May be worthwhile to check that out first. Geoff PS for all those chemistry lesson vandals, that sort of thing did not go on at my school, because every boy was expected to behave as a gentleman. However it could have been more to do with the fact that the chemistry master kept a piece of rubber tube concealed in his gown. No marks on the body so nothing in the punishment book!
