I put this irc client on me website now so all one has to do is click the
url. Then nobody has to get into the technicalities of downloading mIRC.
Mind you i'm not sitting there all the time waiting however.

You have to wonder what kind of man feels sick and faints just because
some other guys are discussing a vasectomy. I'm relly not sure I'd want
this lightweight in charge of my train and god knows how he'd react in an
emergency that possibly involved injuries. Burst into tears and throw up
over the passengers?

The story I read on BBC Teletext a few days ago was that it was a trainee
driver, i.e. under supervision, who had repeatedly asked the others to stop/
change the subject or whatever. Most people would say that maybe his
instructors were out of order by incapacitating him, whether directly or
indirectly and again, maybe they are in the wrong job, because rendering a
train driverless cannot be in the public interest. Seemingly, the trainee
suffered minor injuries (Sue the individuals) and it also caused delays on
the Circle Line, again something experienced drivers wouldn't do if they
wanted to keep their jobs.
As regards throwing up over the passengers, well, they shouldn't have been
in the cab, then, should they? :-)
Have a nice Day

How someone reacts to a conversation and how they react to a real event are
two totally different things. I also suffer the same probelm and have
meaasured my length in a pub when a discussion I was in got round to such
things (I did manage to put my pint on the bar first), despite the fact that
the injury we were talking about was mine. I've have also had to deal with
various emergencies and do so without folding up.

I guess your nickname on here is ironic then?

Uh huh. And what happens if someone gets injured and you have to discuss it
with a paramedic? Will you just say "Oh , excuse me I feel faint, I must go to the
powder room..." ??
