People's 'web of association' is not as simple as well defined gangs though. I've ended up hanging around with criminals who use guns through 'mate of a mate' and I don't think would be right to be charged if one of them had a gun on them and did something.
I don't know much about this, but it seems unreasonable to expect a manufacturer to check out every outlet they deal with. It would just be impractical.
If the manufacturer did business with a shop that didn't have their relevant permits or whatever it's another matter.
I read an article some time ago that was using computer simulations with fairly simple rules to model economic situations.
One of the simulations was red and blue dots on a surface. They set it up so that each colour dot would prefer to be in an area with a certain number of the same colour (but no preference for segregation). Over a certain number of turns where they could move, they found that this led to the dots becoming completely segregated.
Food for thought.
Nice one. I can bung a plastic sheet on the outer window, seal it all up, insulate the cavity and plastic the inside. Once I'm wenched I won't feel a thing.
I've got a window facing a main road that's got a sort of double glazing. It's not sealed though, the outer window is an old fashioned slide open one. This window never needs to be opened, so I'm thinking of sealing all the edges on the inner and outer panes with that V Tape.
I'm also thinking of stuffing rockwool insulation into the gap. I have the curtains drawn most of the time anyway as people can see in, and it might cut down the road sound.
I don't know if rockwool will be a better insulator (for heat) than just an air gap if I seal the edges better.
Anyone know the answer?
I think there is a neurological theory that it's something to do with patterns being copied in the brain so perceptions are simultaneously seen as memories.
I've had it before as well as other blips...Ever go to a place and get the feeling that it's somehow powerful and strange?

Simian XY asks about communication. Perhaps we should keep answers practical, unless S/he wants to open up the discussion to general advice.

In England there are various options for cheap calls - alternative phone providers, numbers you dial before your call, or phone cards.

400 metres? Thats what, 16 lengths. I could swim that far when I was 10. What does he want a fucking medal?

Simple. You were teleimpregnated by aliens in a former life, and gave birth to David Copperfield.
