I is not evil.

I like the music taste, James - and there's nothing at all wrong with Elton. I went through a huge Elton loving phase, and still listen to him once every couple of weeks...

I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an "Escalator temporarily out of order" sign, only an "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

Dismantling a person is sometimes necessary...

Welcome to VR

Incidently, I saw 'A Clockwork Orange' again t'other night. Rather spiffing film.

Lastly, your username is similar to one of my 'Zine aliases. You don't need to know that, but you now do, regardless.

I hope some day, for some reason, David Duchovny is investigated by the FBI. Because that would make a great story.

Ahh, back in the day it was in the something or other near Caledonian Road tube, and it was a bit on the whack side IIRC. Still, probably one of the better club nights in londinium. See, I heard they'd moved out of Islington, I just assumed they were dead like.

NEEN FACKED! I met David Walliams in there a few weeks ago. What a tosser.

So, how did you find us here at VR? Don't tell me those naked flyers I've been putting in phoneboxes are working?

Yes @ Walliams. He's a bell end.

|VR? A search for "Sir Lord Nigel Reginald" on google got me here - was looking for an old zine post from a while back out of boredom, saw the message board, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Well, an hour and a bit of history.

OK, brace yourelves:
Fraser Douglas, 19 from jolly old Alloway.

Currently in second year at Glasgow Uni, enjoying the thrill-a-minute binge that is Maths and Chemistry (woop)

Decided to join VR because I used to write much drivel to Megazine a few years back, and thought that i have been neglecting the 'Zine - so I just thought i'd see whats going on thesedays.

I have no pets, as of Monday afternoon, when my Parkakeet died. No, really.

Other than that I'm just a simple fellow, with a Tintin obsession.

Internet at Caley? Don't be silly. They probably don't have lightbulbs, still use candles!

Speaking of which, check this oot:

How Many Students Does It Take To Change a Light Bulb?

Glasgow Uni - Seventy-six - one to change the light bulb, fifty to protest
the light bulb's right not to change, and twenty-five to hold counter protest.
Strathclyde - Five - one to design a nuclear powered one that never needs
changing, one to figure out how to power the rest of Scotland using that
nuked light bulb, two to install it, and one to write the computer program
that controls the wall switch.
Caledonian - Seven - one to change the light bulb and six to throw a party
because he didn't screw it in upside down this time.
Edinburgh - One - he holds the bulb and the world revolves around him.
St Andrews - Five - one to arrange the party, two to co-ordinate the press,
one to call the electrician, and one to get daddy to pay for it all.
Herriot Watt - Three - one to change it and two to figure out how to get
high off the old one.
Napier - Only one, but he gets 10 course credits for it.
Dundee - Ten - one to buy and fit the bulb, and nine to petition for the
electrification of Dundee.
Aberdeen - Two - One to change the light bulb and one to crack under the
pressure.
Stirling - None - Stirling looks better in the dark.
RSAMD - Five - one to change the bulb and four to do an interpretive dance
about it.
