A reader swears she heard Tagata Pasifika presenter Beatrice Faumuina say one of the highlights of opera singer Jonathan Lemalu's career was singing in the convent garden. Maybe someone could enlighten Beatrice that Covent Garden has nothing to do with the Catholic Church!

Norml News, which is a great read, has kindly provided some tips about how to get stoned the healthy way. Including: use organic cannabis; sterilise your bong/pipe between sessions; don't share joints and pipes because of the risk of meningitis; avoid cannabis when pregnant.
And my favourite, "mixing cannabis with alcohol can make you more out of it than you intended".

Website B3ta asked its readers for stories from great teenage parties they'd been to. As expected most involved trashing houses and throwing up, but there was this: "To ensure numbers we invited everyone. And then they [apparently] invited everyone else. We ended up with approximately 150 people in our house, most of whom we didn't know. Did they wreck it? Did they have sex in our beds? No. In fact they protected our stuff. So much so, that when my mate went to get some money from his room he was stopped by a bunch of guys who thought he was stealing. Did they believe him when he said it was his room? No. They beat him up for stealing." (Source: b3ta.com)
