[quote]What is the use of education? Its first use is to develop humility (vinaya). In olden days, the disciple who went to a guru was called "vineyan" meaning a person of humility which is the hall-mark of Instruction he had from his guru, the fruit of education. Education without humility is no education. For true education, the student should go to a guru and follow the guru-kula system.

If you like Jon. It will be dark, cold, no electricity, and I always keep the door locked.

You'll need your own drink, although there is some white spirit in there.

No Paul, a more prosaic reference to Mr Richard Viney of this parish

Who if memory serves didn't get home after the first ever ACC social in Bar R and hasn't been seen with a drink in his hand since

Hence Vineyan Syndrome - Not getting home due to excess fluid intake

What's the opposite of a homing pidgeon? A drunk Tester obviously
