Excuse me for addressing this here, but a colleague and I are in
dispute about one of Dr Who's assistants. I think she was an
assistant to Peter Davidson and she was called Terry or Kerry ?
and she did not make many episodes because the BBC took her out
because she was too raunchy for the Dr Who assistant role.
(Leela, accepted) 

Can anybody help resolve this bitter wrangle ?

Well Teletext is getting better still a way to go. I notice that C4 no points
to p400 (Hooray), however I still get strange clock update. When in full Text
mode all is fine on p400 however when using the 'Time' request I only get 5 sec
updates, is this a problem with the change index page on FastText.

Still please give us news back on C3

After moaning to my bank (Royal Bank of Scotland) about the excessive cost
of IMOs etc (especially when compared with credit card payments), they 
offered to provide me with a US dollar account. This should cost me about 
5 pounds to write a cheque, but the cheque will be drawn in US dollars and 
should be cashable in the US at no additional charge to the payee.
The account has no other associated charges, and currency conversion is
performed when I transfer money from my UK current account into it, at
the usual published rate & fee (wish I'd filled it at last year's rate!).

Since I haven't received the cheque book yet, I can't be sure if it works
as intended (I wouldn't be surprised to see something like the $4 charge
you mention at the other end).

The cheapest methods - but not always acceptable - appear to be credit
card or actual cash, obtained from a bureau de change.

Unfortunately, Teletext UK has also fallen into this trap. If I want to ring 
0898 numbers, I'll look them up. If I want to look at what's on the TV, I 
bring up the TV page. When are they going to get it into their heads, I don't 
want to read damn adverts between the TV pages! Oracle did it, I wrote to 
them and told them what a stupid idea it was, they said they had hardly any 
complaints and most people found it useful!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not interested in them making a buck.  As far as I remember the
teletext system was introduced to allow TV broadcasters to send a
small amount of useful data alongside the picture - *useful* things
like TV schedules, news etc.  It could be reasonably carried on the
profits of TV advertising rather than having to support itself.  And
indeed the advert density on Oracle was quite low for many years, as I
recall.

I don't think farming the teletext off to leach companies to that they
can "make a buck" is a very good idea.  To hell with them.  I didn't
get a teletext TV to that someone could "make a buck".  Anyway does
anyone actually respond to the adverts on teletext (except with an
aggravated prod of the "wait for update" button?)

They did all right - I have the C64 version of Robocop, and the music is indeed
the same as on the ad... Made me sit up and listen when I first recognised it,
that's for sure... ;-)
I wondered why they nicked the music from a 4-year old computer game to
use in this advert? Anyone got any ideas?

And for you trivia buffs out there, the piece of music in question was 
composed by Jonathan Dunn, who wrote soundtracks for many of Ocean's 
C64 games...

   If we're talking about ethnicity rather than nationality or culture,
   then it is impossible (unless you're referring to people with mixed
   parentage).  A person born in England to parents of West Indian stock
   is ethnically West Indian, even though he may consider himself English
   from a cultural point of view.

If we're talking about ethnicity, then we shouldn't mention words like
"English", "Scottish" etc.; a more fitting ethnic categorisation would be,
say, "Native European" or "Native British Isles".  "English" isn't an ethnic
group, since (a) "native English" people have varying ethnic origins (e.g.
Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Celtic), and (b) other nearby nations have a
similar ethnic mix.

Take care here. While this can probably help in some cases I believe
that "False memory syndrome" under regression hypnosis is now well
documented.

Faulty recall of child abuse, alien abduction and satanic covens can
be induced by the hypnotist merely suggesting things to the patient.

If it was a large gate made of copper in York then it would be

Don't assume so much, PCs? Hmmm, gave them up a while back, mind you my parents
have one :-) Borlands C++ environment does look nice, pity about the editor
though.

No I didn't choose to buy the libraries. We're talking Atari-ST here, 1987ish
and if you wanted a C compiler, or an Assembler or whatever they ALL came with
libraries to support GEM and the VDI etc, despite all I wanted was an Assembler
to knock out 68000 games with NO GEM, NO VDI etc. Oh yes and the Modula2
compiler came with it's set.

Besides, as you've said you don't own a car. You are not paying for the roads
unless you buy road tax dics each year out of sheer altruism.

From memory (and I never actually worked on the acquisition side of
teletext - although I did a fair amount on display).  One of the
problems in teletext acquisition is keeping a data clock (roughly)
synchronised to the bit stream.  There is a clock run in at the
start of each text line (ie a 101010 type pattern), and then you
rely on there being enough transitions in the data to keep your
phase-locked-loop (or whatever) locked onto the bit rate data clock.
The clock cracker page is a torture test for this part of the
circuitary - I think it has the minimum transitions possible
(allowing for the parity bits which stop you having none at all), by
having a pattern something like 00000001 11111110 etc.

Very few (if any) systems should have problems with this now, unless
the signal is weak or there are any echos (ie try it around Canary
wharf) - teletext transmissions cope very badly with any echos or
ghosting effects.

More interestingly, and something the teletext consortium might be
discovering (although this is more a teletext chip problem), that
the ITS (Insertion Test Signals) that are shoved through the
transmitters by the broadcasters on one of the flyback lines can
look just like a framing code and hamming packet lead into a valid
teletext line.  A couple of bit errors (more likely at the start of
the line if your PLL bit clock hasn't started properly) can give you
garbage text lines, causing havoc!

I remember seeing it - it was truly amazing.  There was also a programme

(I think that) I can very dimly remember it so I'd guess at it happening
in about 1967/8. However I may well be quite wrong as I can only remember
being aware of it, I can't remember any other events at the same time
which would help fix the date.

Try it on "reappears" if you want to see a bad one. I personally also think its
"standard English" is actually "standard American".

I am slowly creating a file of English hyphenations. Every so often I put in a
few more. There are currently about 8,000 words in my list. I hope to have
worked through the hyphenation dictionary by the time I retire.
