    Hi honestengland!
    I have the task of pointing you in the direction of the rules if you have not already had a look! The best thing to do is probably find a thread which interests you and jump right into the debate.
    The only thing to really remember is that we like to keep this a friendly place, try to respect differences in opinion as much as possible and you should have no problems. Should you need any help please do not hesitate to contact either myself or a fellow moderator!

    Would you like to tell us a bit about yourself? What political views do you hold?

    Don't contact Dougie if you have a question. I asked him about the location of the drinks cabinet and ended up in a cupboard full of cleaning fluid.

    Advice from one who knows - draino makes for one nasty cocktail, but some interesting hallucinations

    Sounds like a standard student night out to me!

    Don't add washing up liquid to beer either either... guaranteed to make you throw up, although it seemed sensible at the time :S

    OK, I freely admit to it being way (moderators' privilege), but when I was at uni I recall being part of a somewhat intoxicated group who added a large quantity of commercial washing up liquid, plus a blue dye, to a large multi-jet ornamental fountain that was in Birmingham city centre at the time. The huge volume of quivering blue foam that it generated was a marvel to behold! I really don't know why the local authority got so upset, it cleaned their fountain out beautifully
    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised 'for the good of its victims' may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us 'for our own good' will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis

    Haha, sounds fun! We did a similar thing for our last day at 6th form. Our school had several fountains that we just couldn't resist filling with foam. It was so funny watching the caretakers try and get rid of all the foam with brushes and spades!

    When I was at uni four of us all drunk a bottle of bleach each for a bet. We won the bet but are all dead now
