    Public toilets

    the ones i've seen cost 20p, which i guess is semantically equivilent to a quarter... to be honest, i'd rather pay the 20p for the nice toilet than go in the nasty scummy free one next door...

    Music collectors?

    i only knew the grateful dead when i looked after seeing the post on slashdot (think it was slashdot) as well... how do the file sizes compare to mp3 or ogg anyway? does it perform much better than wav+zip? there's probably a nice chart someone i haven't looked for yet...

    Public toilets

    most places are free here... you get the odd place that charges - mainly at the big railway stations it seems. the ones that charge have always been dead nice inside too. i always got the impression it was a token charge that meant they could put gates on the things and stop tramps sleeping...

    Does this mean no rules?

    sounds like a UK jelly to me... and vodka jellies are common. it's a real skill to get one of those out of a shot glass without getting ming all over yourself :)

    Tax Refund

    is it normal to get a tax refund? don't think i've ever heard of someone getting refunded tax before... seems like a strange way of saving to me and isn't there something broken about a system that can't get it right the first time??

    What Do YOU Do with Yer Pennies?

    why are we going to war?

    it seems fairly inevitable that there's going to be some fisticuffs... but i'm interested in your opionion on *why* you think it's going to happen... is it all about oil? perhaps because bush needs a re-election platform? because bush wants to finish what his father started? it distracts...

    any other news?

    so is there anything going on in the world aside from the whole iraq deal? someone postulated the other day that one good reason for all the drum-beating over war was to keep a nice steady flow of headlines so that everyone forgot about how crap other things, like the economy, are going...
