'Cream Crackered' is cockney rhyming slang for knackered (for those not familiar, cokney rhyming slang is a slang used by london gangs some time ago that involved replacing nouns and verbs with rhyming counterparts). That was a really amazing language, and it worked for so long until a dictionary was sold to the authorities. That's something police won't do anymore, buy information. Well, at least not in england. If it can be used as evidence in court, it will simply be seized. Which, to be fair, I have no problem with it it puts away one more murderer or rapist away for good. But our prisons are overcrowded, so these people are released under parole way too early. There's even talks of using prison ships. Personally, I think they should chain em' all up in bright orange boiler suits and have them splitting rocks by the side of the motorway. Forget human rights, anybody who willingly takes people's lives away doesn't deserve any. If you could see the look on my face as I write this, you'd understand I'm deadly serious. And that's the problem with the internet, you can't read text in the same way you can read a person. You can't hear the tone of someone's voice, and emotions cannot be emulated, no matter how many of these ![]()

you put into your writing. Now 'writing'; that's a generic term used often on the internet (hell, I've used it just now) when, infact, we don't write a thing. Writing suggest using a pen and paper. I'm using a lot of highly sophisticated circuitry, from the input devices in the keyboard and resulting in the output of text on the screen. I've always wanted to know how a CRT monitor works. In fact, I've always wanted to know how everything electromechanical works. Lamps, heaters and motors are all quite simple. But Laser printers systems? Television sets? I've been looking for something to do, and it's right in front of me.

well, I've been a scout since I was six, so that must count for something.
Oh, and part nine and ten are up, if you care.-

Ooooooo I might have to head on over to check it out once i've finished replying my emails.. =)
Laser printers are to do with electrons or something. We did it in graphics but I don't remember the exact reason or how or whatever. =)
I digress..
