		<description>Hello all!

There appears to be a lack of &#039;reporting back&#039;. Has the treatment caused some interference with the internet? Have you been carried off in the night by giant pre-emptive head-lice? 

Hate to break it to anyone studying a PhD, but there&#039;s at least one profession out there where you&#039;re expected to have a good degree and a Masters or PhD, start on £15-20k and if you&#039;re really lucky stay on it indefinitely. You do it for the love of the subject apparently. Still, there&#039;s never a dull moment and there&#039;s a fascinating surrealness that you just don&#039;t find anywhere else (and vermin infested hovels are &#039;character building&#039;).</description>

		<description>Just how many vegetarians with a minimum of 5 years experience in the parascientific, psionic hardware, sub molecular harmonic frequencies, ultimatonic field patterning instruments, geomagnetic wave calibrations, electromagnetic field potentials, exploratory map sensing, quantum singular activity, radioaesthetics, with a flexible attitude to working hours, looking to earn £20-24k who live in an easily commutable distance of Wincanton are there?</description>

		<description>A little more info on how said badge works following an email from me saying I was interested but wanted to know more about how it works and how it relates to space travel.

Dear Ian
 
Thank you for your email.
 
Basically the HELRU works on what we call a field effect and we found the field effect that head lice do not like and put it into a device that is within the badge. Further than that is proprietary information.
 
The badge is non chemical and non electro magnetic and is perfectly safe for anyone to use.
 
I hope this helps
 
Regards
The Maperton Trust


I don&#039;t think this has anything to do with space travel, and if the information were so &quot;proprietary&quot; why don&#039;t they patent it? Oh yeh, cos they&#039;d be laughed out the patent office.</description>

		<description>Although it is quite hilarious to read if you realise that all the verbiage is basically cack.  Whats funnier still is how they would expect a genuine MSc or PhD to apply, given that the pay is rather low.  I guess they&#039;d probably accept my degree in Musicology instead.</description>

		<description>20k a year is rather crap for a PhD with vegetarian skills.  I&#039;d be rather pissed off if I spent years of research for that.</description>

		<description>@DanielDWilliam,

It&#039;s probably legal to discriminate against meat-eaters, but probably not against vegetarians. The law prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion or belief, which includes &quot;any religion, religious belief or similar philosophical belief&quot;. So if you&#039;ve got a decent coherent philosophy, you&#039;re probably covered. Vegetarianism is just about coherent enough to pass, while meat-eating is more just a default option without much philosophy behind it. Except that animals taste good.</description>

		<description>Mum bought one of these and my nits got WORSE: other people&#039;s nits actually came to ME!
I took my badge off my lapel and put it in my trousers pocket; you DO NOT want to know where I&#039;ve got nits now!
Could I sue them and claim it was faulty; that the sypatic fractals of the secondary applied field caused a quantum harmonic paradigm reversal in my dynamic met-space? [ie that it phuqued my aura?]
And would a judge believe this?
Someone should start a campaign or something like those that claimed side-effects from Homy Pills to make them say what is[n&#039;t] in them.
I was going to e-mail them the above but mum says I&#039;ll get into trouble but someone else might like to.
Got to go, Apple Crumble for tea; HOORAH! BYE.</description>

		<description>I really think this is worthy of a new T shirt for Ben&#039;s excellent range...but what to put for the slogan?

How about;

If its brown, smells and is near a bull it probably is what you think it is!

Any other suggestions?</description>
