Given that HM is just another name for Methadone over here, I don't
particularly agree with it.. (our version)

I always maintained that the Australian approach is or was the most
revolutionary.

Ta for the links Bob,
I'm a member of a forum here which does a bit of good work in the
drugs/addiction field. I'd like to be more involved, but age and ambition
are against me, well that and the fact that we don't get paid for it.

Cheers
Tommy

Good work Robert.

It sure never affected my driving either, drove for days as a matter of a

Well I have no accidents to report, except nodding off at a red light once
and bumped the car in front of me. Cops showed up with me idling up against
the car they shut my car off and then woke me up and asked where I was, (and
I can still remember today) I tried to look around and they said with out
looking and I could not tell where I was. ;o(

Dunna about Australai, Bob, but a really good little handbook for you is
"Robert's Rules of Order" for chairing committees.

Hey, I thought it was funny....

Nice work, Bob. I mean that. No joking this time, OK?

So you do have an accident to report? Was that booze driving or just
snooze driving?

Actually drove drunk a lot of times, but this time I nodded off on some
heroin.
