Hmmmm ! Monitoring the 'Cat may reval a few subversives, on the other hand, and I commend the Xmas Tavern thread, is it not more likely to reaveal a mass of overweight folkiis into bestiallity, hard drinking and perversions involving possums and bhodrans, oh and music to boot.

This almost seems the occasion to request a song competition for an "All purpose terrorist Song".

Joshing apart, the sheer volumn of E-Mails and internet browsing, even if automated, should kill any meaningfull moinitoring. Unless of course they have reason to suspect you are a "bad guy" - In which case asume you phone is tapped, your letters opened etc., and the Lord help you if you try to buy Charcoal, Sulpher and Saltpetre and it shows up on your Tesco's loyalty card.

Which reminds me can any Catter recall the full version of that Parody of the "Lincoln Poacher" sung in left wing circles in the 60's and 70's - The Chorus goes -

With Moscow Gold and Dynamite we'll set the People free,
Ah - Tis my delight on a Friday Night to bomb the burgoisie "


I'am afraid memories are fading like the VSC badges I used to wear !!!!

Never mind - I'll post seperatly for that !
