Thanks
Nougat is fantastic... 48p for a large bar in Tesco, which is open all night. Coincidence? I think not.

24hr Tesco is just MADE for people who stay up all night doing silly things with Poi and LED's and various other activities.
A Barman, a Bassist, a Green-colour person.. (I dunno!), fab music taste (RHCP, Mr Bungle = <3)... Another wonderful addition to the HoP family.
Anyway, Welcome to HoP...
Have fun, Stay safe, Be good... haha =]

I love going to Tesco at 2 in the morning. It's empty, so I feel like a king of my very own food-filled kingdom. That I have to pay for.
And thanks for the warm welcome

No problemo.
Oh, and I have to say, love the name. Pavlov won a Nobel Prize for his theory on conditioning, didn't he =D

Hullo Pavlovsdog!
Erm, isn't Pavlov's dog the one drooling when it hears a bell? Or something like that. :b
Anyway, have a nice time and ... stay tuned!

yeah Pavlov investigated Classical conditioning
and his dogs made a contingency between a neutral stimulus (ie a bell) and a conditional stimulus (ie: food), so when a bell is sounded, they link that to the food, and drool Hoppers are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

The same thing works with many animals, its especially useful on parrots and other intelligent birds, and has also been used to great effect in the training of Oscar fish.
I managed to get my Oscar to swim through a hoop that way, never managed to persuade him to jump out of the water though, very disappointing! And he always got some actual food at the end obviously!

Yeah, yeah, I knew all that. I just didn't want to tell the others because I'm trying to be very mysterious here.
