The cassette was in fact Dutch Stupidity (Philips)

All Christians are Catholic, Roman Catholics are those that have the Bishop of Rome (aka the Pope) as head of their Church. They revere Saints, as do some other 'Non' Roman Catholics. Strict Protestants such as Calvinists are still Christians and therefore Catholics, but abhor the notion of Saints as they see them as 'False' gods.

Use the primary key and an integer counter (date time stamps are to messy), apply the update with the primary key and counter as the 'where ' clause, if the update fails someone else has edited the record, and the user will need to refresh and try again. Pre-emptive locking is very messy , I would not recommend it. Often it is a kneejerk reaction to bad operational procedures within the production environment. You need to ask: what are multiple users doing trying to edit the same row at the same time? The counter based scheme sounds harsh but in reality it seldom leads to conflicts when the operations are run in a sensible manner.

Could not help thinking of this Tom Waits song on the drive home yesterday...


Well it's hotter 'n blazes and all the long faces
there'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier
there'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo
from Melbourne to Adelaide on the overlander
with newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives
the train stopped in Serviceton less and less often
There's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer
VicRail decided the canteen was no longer necessary
there's no spirits, no bilgewater and 80 dry locals
and the high noon sun beats a hundred and four
there's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store


This tiny Victorian rhubarb
kept the watering hole open for sixty five years
now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st
wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
the train smokes down the xylophone
there'll be no stopping here
all ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
no Bourbon, no Branchwater
though the townspeople here
fought the Vic Rail decree tooth and nail
now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st
wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
the train smokes down the xylophone
there'll be no stopping here
all ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

Potable water?

You got ANY idea what fish do in it?

You could taste it by about 11am (still can). Water restrictions will be lifted for a few days to allow people to hose things down. Latest reports suggest there is a lesser dust storm due here by Saturday. Damn Kiwis are stealing our country by stealth!

"which now included a truss rod in the neck to keep it from warping."...

Truss rods do not stop necks from warping, they are there to adjust the 'relieve' of the neck, a proper neck is not straight as in 'level' but must be slightly bowed to accommodate the envelope of the plucked string.

Y're all nuts

RPG Cycle explained

That would be : "Crikey, bloody good effects aye!" Steve was a Queenslander (Victorian by birth), Queenslanders always say 'Aye' at the end of a statement with the pitch going up.

As predicted in our previous issue; every one born under the sign of Gemini was hit by a big truck and died...
