Thread Name: BS: Naxalone?
Subject: Naxalone?
Someone brought a newspaper cutting in to ringing practice last Friday. From Perth, Western Australia, it told the story of the Perth Millennium Project (it was an old cutting), which was to build a ringing tower with 18 bells (18! they never ring more than 16 together, but with the two "extra" semitones, they've got three different true rings of 12 bells. Awesome!). Anyway, on "opening night", there were apparently protesters outside, arguing that the money raised would have been better spent on (I'm quoting from memory here) "more homes for the homeless, more food for the starving and more Naxalone". Can anyone enlighten me as to what Naxalone is?

PS: I've replaced my stolen PC and got my cookie back. The really annoying thing is that it'll probably change hands for £20 in a pub, but replacing the window, blinds, and PC, and time spent with policemen, fingerprinters, alarm engineers, insurance agents, etc, will cost me the best part of a grand.
