Re: crazy golf
Assuming you're not a Masai tribesperson. And assuming that the Romans weren't lying about the Celts (Though why would they want to do that?) It would seem to me to be counter-productive. If you want to conquer a country you don't spread rumours that they drink their victims blood.

If you want to conquer a country you don't spread rumours that they drink their victims blood. Well why not? It allows you to claim a moral reason for conquering them in the first place (which is as necessary for keeping morale and a sense of purpose among your own people as anything else), and quite possibly has longer-term military benefits, as in The Celts were a bunch of mad, blood-drinking nutters, But we conquered them anyway, so why don't you open your doors and play nicely, and we won't have to unleash our fearsome military power upon you. For some reason, the mental image of a horde of wild Celts quaffing blood keeps mixing in my head with that of a bunch of perl programmers in a cellar bar, quaffing TVRs...

That way everyone thinks they are barbarians, and they don't mind you invading them and civilising them. As it happens the Celts were barbarians*, and the Romans did bring civilisation to them (insert relevant Life of Brian sketch). You also spread rumours of there being lots of gold and so many pearls they lie uncollected on the beaches.

Unfortunately I haven't been there for a while, but hopefully it's still as good as I remember. Sorry to speak up against the George. It does have a lot of history, and is well worth a visit of a Saturday afternoon. Last coaching inn left from a street once full of them, Dickens drank there etc. It is also the only pub run by the National Trust. Downside is that it is not all that large, and gets horribly crowded on a summers evening. Lots of students and workers from nearby Guys. The tiny bar serving areas get chock-a-block. Also, IMHO, to beer is not kept that well, and I've never had a good pint there. On the accessibility front, it is not that good. The ladies loo is on the same level, but there are steps and uneven floors everywhere. The gents loo is in a modern block out in the courtyard.
Hang the Java programmers
While unwillingly attempting to educate myself in the dark arts of Java, I came across this in a bit of (official Sun) documentation: Passivation is the opposite of activation. Only a Java programmer could be that f**cking bloody minded, pig ignorant, or both. Amusingly, ejbPassivate is a method of entity beans, which look suspiciously like on of the most stupid things I've ever come across. But then I'm not a real programmer. -- Jonathan Peterson Technical Manager, Unified Ltd, 020 7383 6092 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, Java programmers are not hanged, they are burned at the stake. Tony

Never really liked that pub and I *REALLY* don't like drinking with Medics. And I live with and hang around with Guy's [0] medics. In that area though there's Davey's Pot house under the bridge which serves ale in pewter mugs, port in pitchers, has sawdust on the floors, no stairs, is quiet and has nice food and also a there's pub in the market which I can't remember the name of but is quiet nice when it iusn't heaving.

That seemed the going rate for the dirt-cheap boxhosters I looked at. OTOH It makes Nildram's gbp2000 p.a. including 15mins of technician/day to do whatever you need seem very good value.
