Would be nice if it was a sticky!

i dont care if you grow drugs yourself, or buy them from drugdealers. People who take drugs are no better than Nazis in my opinion.

You say you grow them, but what if your operation falters, and you need a quick fix, i think you would resort to buying them, leading to more suffering around the world as children harvest them

you say about amsterdam, but if i went to afganistan i could probably get away with preaching messages of hate to infidels, IT DOESNT MEAN ITS CORRECT.

Drugs are illegal. Murder is illegal. Both for a reason, and if you break either of these laws, you deserved to be punished like the little piece of **** you are

I know this is a bit psychotic, but I once chucked my biro toward the general direction of a group of mindless twits who were chatting away through my mad last minute finals revision. I didn't lob it at them straight away; I was simmering for the entire morning. When they looked at me to find out where the pen had originated from, I calmly stared at them and ask them to shut up, which they did, but then I left because I didn't enjoy the atmosphere I had created. I've never been back to that library since then, I always work at home. When I eventually rule the world, people who speak in libraries will have their tongues cut out.

Snap. Regular desks aren't big enough for me; I now work on a big dining table.

Speaking of Hull library, I wasn't at all sure what to think of it when I went along. It was massive, yes, and the view from the top seemed rather special, but there was something not quite right about it all. It felt empty on each floor despite being packed and the work spaces weren't the kinds of desks I like working on. I like a desk that's fairly deep so that I can sprawl out my stuff, but not horizontally. V. fussy. I think I found it too big in a way. I felt like trying to contribute something to a more intellectual conversation for a change.

The top floor used to make me want to crow-bar the windows open and jump. Thank god I left science

The little work rooms down by the staircases had that effect on me. I'd rather work on a bench outside a kebab house in Chingford.

I can safely say: I've never been to Hull. I was always under the impression I wasn't missing a whole lot.

Says the welshman. How is that pot and kettle?

What was that: englishman?

I did get told by someone who worked for the uni that the library had that affect on many people - it's why the high up windows don't open.

Heh, I can imagine. I'm usually really good with heights too. I think it was a combination of claustrophobia, the height, the horrible decor, the crappy desks, the view of Hull, the isolation and the Hullites tramping up and down the stairs outside.

I Hate Lawyers And Their Pedantry..........................................

I detest Birmingham's main library. After the Upper Cam and the Duke Humfrey, it all seems so brutal and grey I do love the Barber Institute's little art library though, it's cosy and well-stocked.

Is anyone here rich enough to join the London Library, or to have used it for research? What's it like?
