Martin's right about mortgage, and just to pay the interest on £250K could be quite a stretch. I think our best bet is to try and get a ludicrous 1 million pound grant to buy and upgrade Bristo Place. We know this building is good for us, and we'd be laughing if we didn't have to pay any rent. Even ...

Yes. And I agree with the Swith about the whole industrial thing and the rainforests and whatnot. But I think the recycling of old oil is a cool thing to do, even if you do have to pay tax on it. I def think the gov'ment should make an exception there, and would support any campaign regarding such a...

I was in a place where they were using these same cabinets to diplay stuff. They had a cunning little widget for locking them shut. It's just a wee lock that uses a key, and all it does when you lock it is stick out a lump of metal. You screw the thing onto the wood and position it so the metal stop...

I'm sure they would make a very nice book. Personally, I'd prefer if we spent the money on a very nice photocopier and make this kind of stuff ourselves, in full colour.

Creative Commons is good cos they have a range of different licenses and you can choose the one that suits you most.

Aye, but we can't all talk about ourselves at the same time, and I'm sure we can't all agree to a particular definition of what we are. For example, I certainly won't agree to anything that says we are anti-capitalist. Or anti anything else. But I think we can all agree on things like free stuff and...
