That's a much better point. I'm going to argue that seat belts and crash helmets don't cause the criminal behaviour that drugs do. But I accept the point.

Er no - because that harms other people doesn't it? As does criminalising drugs of course: people caught up in drug wars.

Why are more people endangered? Anyone that wants drugs can get them already. By legalising I believe that fewer will be endangered. I'm certainly not going to buy it, even if it were legal and cost 1 penny a kilo. Same for anyone else who is educated and cares about their bodies. The...

Were you in Solid Action? They were really young when they first started gigging.

PM me of you want some advice. I have some rental houses but I waited for years for the right moment and I wouldn't do it now... I think the moment has gone,

Started replying but too personal. Got forced down a route by my parents. Hoping to do something like my ambitions during the next few years.

Keep the faith. There hasn't been a Carlbakerday today but there is sure to be one tomorrow.

I've just seen Doyle cleaning up all the mess from his car's front passenger seat. Baker must be on his way.

Nah, it was barely an hour ago.

Three quarters I believe.
