There is a lot of good stuff on siite. If you're in London they're worth a visit as they're very helpful. Oh - and if you are relatively new to strap-ons I'd start small and work up! Guys sometimes don't realise what they're asking for when they say "I'd love to be taken with a 10" strap-on" 
Try making them wear a butt-blug for a while to break them in. are very good for that kind of thing :)

Well, spare a thought for me....
Sitting on my own...., maybe watching an old black & white weepie like Brief Encounter, a cup of gin as my only friend, the wind whistling through the windows as I sigh and head off to my cold lonely bed......
But then there's always Doctor Who and pr0n - so life's not all bad!

I remember seeing a cartoon in a magazine once which had a middle-aged father and and his teenage son walking along a street past a middle-aged mother and her teenage daughter...
The father was ogling the daughter and the son was ogling the mother of course
Who knows exactly why :) I'm sure there are as many psycho-sexual explanations as there are people on this board :) From Oedipus to 'The Other', I'm sure (and I hope!) we'll never work it out :)

I'm supposed to be at 7:84theatres amnesty thing at the tron on Sunday - not sure I'm going to make it. Might go the euro count thought to see what happens.....
Ooh.. now the very mention of the Tron brings back so many happy memories for me... I am that Weegie isolated in Englandshire!!
Think being political could be a Bonnyland thing cos I haven't met anyone as rabid down here.
No indeed - I think the clydeside water gets into the blood :)
Are you ever back up here? We could rant over a drink in Mono or the Scotia :)

Do you recall the days of 7:84? Red Clydeside? et al - I'm up there with you. Many others take the easy road and don't do anything to make a difference - don't vote just moan.

All areas of society should be policed for the great good (c John Stuart Mill) and if that means that indivuals lose a tiny piece of 'freedom' then so what! Try living in China where access to the Internet is monitored and restricted - what about Middle East countries where access to Internet is limited AND monitored??
Those losses in freedom have to be very well justified though. We are not living in the same society Mill did. We've moved from the battle of society to tame chaotic patterns of behaviour to the battle of the individual to assert their rights within or without society (Pirsig).
I don't feel that the benifit to society of having the police monitor communications in this case is.
Think yourself lucky you live in this 'free' society or make more than loud noises to change things. Stand up somewhere relevant and be counted - campaign to change things - don't just moan!
How do you know we don't? I'm certainly politically active, a member of a political party here in Scotland. I help voluntary groups, I'm helping to set up a social entrepeneurship system and co-operative in England. Talking about it and discussing these issues on a fairly un-related web-board is valuable in bringing these issues up with people who might not connect with regular political or philisophical activism.

You can get nice exploding dye-bombs for the inside of servers - try and fit some into the next batch... Not much use on the ones you've lost though.... 
We had a break-in to our server-room a while back - luckily all we lost was a couple of laptops which were kicking around rather than anything vital.
Hopefully they'll electrocute themelves trying to open the cases or something......

I know what you are saying Billy.
But the internet is still in it's infancy (relatively speaking). In a chat room a child can easily be misled and seduced without realising it. I am not saying that the internet is the sole or main problem - but it IS a problem. The police are talking about public chat rooms not PMs of private rooms - so we still have our privacy when we require it. I still say the KIDS come first.
Alex x x
The police will monitor private PM's and private rooms. If they are monitoring a chat facility do you think they will stop watching because someone says "PM a minute?" My assumption about the "public chatroom" phrase is that it specifically excludes private networks - not what we chatroom users might think of os a "public chatroom". They will monitor chatrooms which are help on free or public available servers and open to internet .
If chatrooms are such a risk to children, and they always come first - why allow them unsupervised access in the first place?
Quote by gilbert
it is the anonymous threat of the internet that frightens.
That's partly my point - people are frightened of these hordes of paedophiles who stalk chatrooms. On the grounds of what? Some newspaper headlines?
Our kids are as vulnerable as we allow them to be. in allowing them to be so we should strive to ensure they are as safe as possible!!! .
Let me turn that round... "Your kids are as vulnerable as you allow them to be. In allowing them to be so you should strive to ensure they are as safe as possible!!!"
The onus on a childs safety should be with it's parents surely? If a parent lets their child use a chatroom it should be that parents responsibility to try and ensure that it's safe. If that means you have to sit with them, or pay to enter a private monitored chatroom system (like you would pay for a good creche, playgroup or nursary), or even set up your own with friends you trusted - so be it.
I still fail to see why the privacy of all the people on the internet should be invaded instead of parents taking responsibility themselves?
Quote by Alexandra
I must admit - I am in agreement with the monitoring of chat rooms. There are so many paedophiles who use them to get at children. If a little of our (as adults) privacy has to go - then so be it if it protects the children!
Can I ask, do you feel the same about your phone calls, letters, bills & person-to-person conversations?
As I said in a previous post, your children are much, much more likely to abused or killed by a family member, friend or someone they know & trust than they are by someone in a chatroom - so I don't understand why people wouldn't want the police to monitor friends, family, phone-calls, letters etc too?
Quote by gilbert
if we have done nothing wrong what do we have to fear?
That's not an argument - if you have done nothing wrong then why not have the police round to your house every day. Why not video cameras installed round your house. Why not be stopped in the street and asked to produce ID at the whim of a policeman.
You have a right to expect to live your life free from interference from inspection, harrasment, prying and control. If someone (the state or otherwise) wants to interfere in your life they should have to justify it, and justify it pretty damn well.
I shouldn't have to justify my privacy - the state, the police or whoever have to justify taking it away.
Sometimes inferference is helpful to society. If a policeman sees someone running down a street with a bloody knife at 3am then they have good grounds to try and stop them and find out why. That's very different from letting someone monitor all my communication on the off chance that I turn out to be a bad'un.
My assumption is that is the cover to test how direct monitoring & censorship of the internet might go (technically, financially and in public opionion).
After that pill has been swallowed, then maybe monitoring for discussion of illegal drugs? Just imagine having a discussion about kinky sex, smoking a joint with a few bored coppers reading it and passing it along to social services. Then of course there is the ever-present eternal war against terrorism to be faught....
Politicians have wanted to censor the internet for quite a while. I'd guess they are quite happy to test it out via bogeyman #1...
If you don't want your child to use chatrooms, then stop them using the PC if you're not around. Or you can always sit with them, or read the logs of what they've done. If you can't be bothered or make the time to sit with them, switch the PC off or read the logs then I guess having the state do your nannying for you is the way to go.
We spend hours and hours and hours teaching children the dangers of playing with matches, crossing the road safely, not eating broken glass etc etc. We don't get the police to follow our kids around wrapping cars in cotton-wool and making them travel at 1mph in case they bump into an un-minded child. I don't see why people think the internet should be some kind of ultra-safe vallium that kids can be plonked in front of without supervision.
The internet mirrors the world. There are wonderful things on it, ugly things, beautiful things, scary things, funny things and dangerous things. If you sat your child in front of the world and said "play there for an hour" - would you be surprised if maybe, just maybe, on a one-in-a-thousand chance - something bad happened?
Your child is dozens of times more likely to abused by a member of your own family than by a stranger in a chatroom. Why not have the police in to monitor them too?
I really dislike the slow slide into censorship that is happening to the internet. One of the last great chances for the people of the world to communicate freely with one another, free from the state, employers, the media - and here we are letting them take it away from us bit by bit :(

The AOL proxies are a pain in the bum to deal with... I've lost track of the number of hours I've spent dealing with people who can't access things because of them. Sometimes very erratic delays in cache/proxy refreshes, sometimes just access fails altogether... 
I spent ages once debugging a really odd CSS problem - only to discover that AOL was for some reason using an old copy of the CSS file and not the current one. Since then I've started using CSS files with version numbers in order to force them to be picked up.... ::sigh::
I blame "Connie" myself....

Try a courgette instead!
Mrs RSAB2 xxx
I was in a supermarket a while back and bought two whopping courgettes. The girl on the till said something along the lines of (in a slightly saucy voice) "My, they're nice and big"... To which I replied "Yes, one for the pot and one for the bedroom".
She seemed a little flustered
