Oops - I didn't mean to recommend them, only to point out some interesting technology ideas.

It's entirely my own fault, no blame attached to you

Thanks for the replies. This is just what we were looking for.

The 3D Object viewer also also has a 256 image version which lets you view the object from all angles.

These are good alternatives to RPS 3D PDF since they can be created with rendered images as well as with images directly from SketchUp.

I thought, looks interesting, I'll give it a punt for $5!

Bad idea, they took the $5 but I never got the email with the download link

It was an absurdity to build over and near seismic fractures!

In Japan do they have a choice other than not to build nuclear power stations?

I would never want to be a teacher, the odds are stacked against you.

But while I have a little sympathy for teachers attacked and abused by 'pupils' the rot was started by the teachers themselves back in the 1970's trying to get too 'matey' with the pupils. As they sowed so have they reaped.

Anyway who need education! Just know where the benefits office is, sign on and get the state to provide you a house (especially if you're a pregnant teenage girl) and the money for a 50" plasma TV, a games console and plenty of packs of cheap lager. Not quite enough money, sell a bit of dope, nick some stuff and sell it down the car boot sale or the pub.

a standard ration of beer for monks and nuns during the Middle Ages was one gallon per day

unless I'm at the pub then it's all beer.

I was told American beer was water

Then there was this scam .....
