well...
These three blokes are in a boat, and the sea gets very rough and the boat
starts getting blown around all over the place, and it gets dark and starts
to rain, and the boat starts to sink. Just as they finally abandon the
effort to bail out the water, and they're about to sink and drown, the boat
gets washed up on an isolated rock, with a ta-a-all lighthouse on it. They
stagger up to the door and pound on it.
At the top of the lighthouse, just below the light bit, the lighthouse
keeper is sitting with his feet up watching the telly, when he hears this
faint knocking from below. So he gets up, and goes down the hundred and
ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps, and opens the door. The three
blokes come in and explain that their boat has sunk in the storm, so the
lighthouse keeper says they can stay on the spare room. They go back up the
hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps, and he shows them the
spare room. Then he thinks he'd better offer them a cup of tea, as they
look pretty cold and miserable. So they all accept the offer of tea. The
lighthouse keeper goes down the hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony
stepsº, makes the tea, and then takes it back up the hundred and ninety-nine
slippery slimy stony steps. When he gets there, two of the blokes from the
boat ask for sugar in their tea, which our hero has forgotten to bring, so
he goes down the hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps, gets
the sugar, goes back up the hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony
steps with it, and they're all suitably grateful. They then go to bed.
In the morning, the lighthouse keeper gets up and climbs up to the top of
the lighthouse, puts the light out, then he goes and pokes his head around
the door of the spare room, and tells the 3 blokes that he has cornflakes or
porage available for breakfast. One of the blokes says he'd like porage, if
it's not too much trouble, and the other 2 opt for the cornflakes. The
lighthouse keeper goes down the hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony
steps, and puts some porage on to cook. While he's there, he has a quick
bowl of cornflakes himself. He then makes some tea, unforgetting the sugar
this time, and goes back up the hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony
steps. He leaves the tea with the 3 blokes, goes back down the hundred and
ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps, fetches the cornflakes and milk,
goes back up the hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps, and
then goes back down the hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps
to get the porage, which by now is cooked, so he goes back up the hundred
and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps with the porage and they all sit
down for breakfast, the lighthouse keeper snarfing an extra bowl of
cornflakes the while, after all, he's been up and down the hundred and
ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps quite a lot recently, and this gives
you an appetite.
Later in the morning, he radios ashore and a boat comes to pick up the 3
blokes, so they all go down the hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony
steps, and the 3 blokes get on the boat, and off the go. Our hero, pausing
in the kitchen to make a well-earned cup of coffee, then goes back up the
hundred and ninety-nine slippery slimy stony steps, and puts his feet up,
and switches the telly on again.
All this tale goes to show that 3 out of 4 people prefer cereal to porage
for their breakfast.
º for no adequatly-explained reason, the kitchen is at the bottom of the
lighthouse.

In a nearby town where the railway goes over a bridge there are steps down
to the road on one side and up on the the other side of the cutting, put in
by the railway Co when the farmer who owned the land sed e' wouldn't be able

` Workers spy on listening post '
IR this just after the one up there about fear of Robot dogs, and thought of
K9 (but Idint watch the filum)
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND THINK ABOUT IT. It`s completely
legal and you can make money honestly and easily using the
internet. You may send it to your friends too. They, like you can
easily MAKE £5,000 AND MORE WITH JUST £3.50 AND 7 STAMPS!! IT
REALLY WORKS AND ITS TOTALLY LEGAL! READ ON... YOU WON'T BE
DISAPPOINTED !!! MAKE QUICK AND EASY MONEY - THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!
THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE IS BELOW - "Make £500 - £5,000 or more, with
just £3.50 and 7 stamps. Earn money honestly and fairly." HOW TO
TURN £3.50 INTO £5,000!!! OR MORE!!! IT REALLY WORKS. A little
while back, I was browsing message boards, just like you are now,
and came across an article, similar to this, that said you could
make thousands of pounds within weeks with only an initial
investment of £3.50!! I thought, "Oh yeah? This must be a scam",
but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it
said that you have to send 50p to each of the 7 names and
addresses listed in the article. You then place your own name and
address in the bottom of the list at No7, and post the article in
as many newsgroups and message boards as you can. (There are
thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and
talking to few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured
"what have I got to lose except 7 stamps and 3 and a half quid?"
Then I invested the £3.50 and, guess what? Within 7 days, I
started getting money in the post! I was shocked! I figured it
would end soon; but it kept on coming in. In my first week, I
made about £30. By the end of the second week I had made a total
of over £900. In the third week I had over £3,000 and was still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of
just over £15,000 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's
certainly worth £3.50 and 7 stamps! Let me tell you how this
works and most importantly, why it works. It's really simple and
easy. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly,
that you will start making more money than you thought possible
by doing something so easy! Read this entire message carefully.
(Print it out or copy and paste it into notepad or a blank email
or similar) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
in! IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is
not illegal; and it is no risk - AND it really works. If all of
the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow the
directions exactly, and £10,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60
days. This programme remains successful because of the honesty
and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by
carefully adhering to the instructions. *Here Are The 4 Easy
Steps To Success - TRY IT - GO ON, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE
EXCEPT £3.50?? STEP 1: Get 7 separate pieces of paper and write
the following on each piece of paper: "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR
MAILING LIST" and then write your name and address below that.
Now get 7 UK 50p coins and tape ONE to EACH of the 7 pieces of
paper and fold the piece of paper in half so the coin will not
break through the envelope. Next, place one of the pieces of
paper in each of the 7 envelopes and seal them. (Be sure to put a
stamp on each envelope - a 2nd class stamp will be fine if you
want to keep your costs even lower.) You should now have 7 sealed
envelopes, each with a piece of paper inside saying "PLEASE PUT
ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST", your name and address, and a 50p coin.
What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying
for it. (Very little!) (Like most of us I was a little sceptical
and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I
checked it out with the UK Post Office and they confirmed that it
is indeed legal. If you have any worries, refer to Title 18 Sec.
1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. It is fantastically -
completely legal!) Now send your 7 envelopes to the 7 addresses
below:
No.1 G Carroll, 5 Swallow Fold, Lower Grange, Bradford BD8 0NR
No.2 D.Taylor, 3 Regent Crescent, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23
1BG
No.3 M.Charles, Cherry Tree House, The Street, Gazeley,
Newmarket, Suffolk CB8 8RB
No.4 S.Giles, 15 St.Andrews Drive, Fornham St.Martin, Bury,
Suffolk IP28 6TR
No.5 D.Bowes, 3 Woodlaw Park, Upper Largo, Fife, KY8 6ET
N0.6 A. Meitin, 42 Lyttleton Road, Bewdley, WorcS, DY12 2BU
NO.7 K. Solloso, 23 Warbler place, Kidderminster, DY10 4dz,
*IMPORTANT: You MUST do this step or these people will not be
able to add your name to their mailing lists as spaces become
available on them and you will lose out on a lot of money - and
we dont want that! Also, when you do Step No3, when people start
sending money in, the above 7 will KNOW that you didn't adhere to
the rules as they never got their 50p from you and will take you
off the list! These are the RULES. *PLEASE REMEMBER that this
program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity
of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the
directions. Look at it this way - If you follow the rules
completely, the program will continue and therefore so will your
money! *STEP 2: Next, take the No1 name off the list that you see
above and move the others up 1. (7 becomes 6, 6 becomes 5, etc.)
And then add YOUR name and address at No7 on the list. *STEP 3:
Change anything you feel you need to, but do try to keep this
article as close to the original as possible. Now, post your
amended article to as many newsgroups and message boards as you
can (You should really try to aim for at least 200 which isn't as
difficult as it sounds with the 'copy and paste' feature. (More
on this below.) I think there are close to 34,000 groups. And
remember, the more you post, the more money you make! **Keep a
copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
you can use it again, and again. So, as each post is sent and the
directions followed carefully, seven members will be reimbursed
for their participation as a List Developer with 50p pence each.
Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your
name reaches the No1 position you will be receiving thousands of
Pounds in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only £3.50. *DIRECTIONS
FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS* STEP 1. You do not need to re-type
this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor
at the top of this document and highlight all of it. Select
'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into
the computer's memory. STEP 2. Open a blank 'notepad' file or a
blank email and place your cursor at the top of the blank page.
From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of
the letter into notepad or a blank email so that you can add your
name to the list. STEP 3. Save your new notepad file as a .txt.
file or save your email with the document now on it. STEP 4.
Search for various news groups (on-line forums, message boards,
discussions groups) using a search engine or however you like.
STEP 5. Visit these message boards etc and post this article as a
new message by highlighting the text of this letter you will have
saved, and selecting 'copy' and then 'paste' from the edit menu.
(Paste this document on the message board) Fill in the Subject
line, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll
through the list of postings in a particular group. Make it
something intriguing that will make people want to read your
message. Click the "post message" button. You're done with your
first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is
jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the
hang of it, it will take only take you a few seconds for each
newsgroup! You will begin receiving money within days! ** Now the
WHY part: If, out of 200 postings, you receive, say,only 10
replies (a very low, conservative, estimate of 5%), you will
receive £5 with your name at No7 on the letter. Now, each of the
10 persons who just sent you 50p will make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with your name at No6. If only 10 persons respond
to each of those 10, that is another £50 for you. Now those 100
respondents will each make a MINIMUM 200 postings with your name
at No5 and if you only receive a 5% response to those, you will
make an additional £500!! OK, now here's where it starts to be
real fun! Each of those 1000 persons now posts a MINIMUM 200
letters with your name at No4 and they each only receive 10
replies, you should receive £5,000!!!! Then those 10,000 persons
will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with your name at
No3 and if still only 10 people per 200 newsgroups react, you
will receive £50,000! You can see how it grows! With an original
investment of only £3.50 that's AMAZING!!! . Estimates are at
20,000 to 50,000 new users joining the Internet every day. So can
you afford £3.50 and see if it really works? The answer must be -
YES!!! **Remember** Play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really
work. IF YOU DONT PLAY HONESTLY THEN IT WONT. Good luck in your
new business!!! Turn £3.50 into THOUSANDS. Do it!! DO IT NOW!!!

I once saw a leaf which was part green, part brown with a stripe

yellow-orange-red.

The trick is to wear the colours yourself, so you don't have to see
yourself wearing them. I expect I'd find the sight of a hugely fat
middle aged woman dressed entirely in orange to be a bit painful, but
luckily for me I don't have many mirrors.

I saw a Mum (well, she looked a lot like the tiddler she was
leading...could have been sisters, I s'pose if they were twenty years
apart) wearing a knitted [1] Oneovr pink wooly tracksuit top and botton
today. Looked absolutely vile.
[1] Not knitted as in fine machine knit like a tee-shirt fabric, but
knitted in the wooly jumper with loose tension on kneedles the thickness
of a biro sort of sense.
That'll be the yellow submarine.

About a fortnight ago, there was a bit in the paper saying someone had
made black paint which absorbs 99.7% of the light which falls on it,
compared to 98% for the previous blackest paint.

It's so ... black. Light just ... falls into it. What is this, some
kind of Galactic hyper-hearse?

Very simple process, I'll look out the details IICBA.
500 sobs per sq in !! It would be cheaper to employ a tatooist.

No, this was Hotblack Desiato's stunt-ship, the one where "every
time I operate one of these controls that are labelled in black on a
black background, a black lamp lights up black to let me know I've done
it. What is this, some kind of inter-galactic hyperhearse?"
> I know where yer coming from, Gaz.
Manchester, IIRC ...
Well I liked "Hattersley night fever". And "Mad from the snegging crowd was
gwd TAAW"
"texturing" also jbexes, making pyramid shaped structures so that light that
does get reflecteded once tends to hit another part of the surface and get
absorbeded.
Not on the wireless it wasn't... it belonged to those super-evolutionary
types whose name temporarilly escapes me.
I guvax it was HD's everywhere else though: book, WWP, ect, ect

"No, I just stopped fiddling with them."

So what's wrong with that? The colour, the texture, or the shape of the
person wearing it?

Stoppit. I'm falling in lurve again wiv that raven-locked lass in
Southend - that fantastically pretty and divinely porportionerd gril wot
were wearing a catsuit of black crocheted aertex wiv 1 pz square holes,
and fbq-nyy underneath it.
She danced, and how she danced. Salomé would have stopped to watch, all
thoughts of Jochinaan banished from her mind. And she were dancing wiv
her othe half - <sob> - I were tolled when I asked someone who she were.
And she were on the other bus.
Fbqqvat good job the tide were out. That must have been thirty-five
years ago and she still dances for me.

Yebbut....I'm just wearing a pair of shorts 'cos they're comfortable.
She was wearing it 'cos she gooved it looked good. Trust me, I can tell!

There once was a lass from Southend
As a dancer, she once did pretend.
Not a murmer was heard,
not a sound, not a word
Save for fly buttons meeting their end.
