Eeee...we used to _dream_ about getting two bites - luxury...... Incidentally, the cleg approaches silently upwind, and is following the path of exhaled carbon dioxide to find the mammalian target, so, if you hold your breath for an hour, no bites!!! Mind you, there may be side effects to this.....

Ah....is she field_walker then?

Is Harcourt Fenton Mudd a Forum member?

Very scary- I drove through the LA fires last year- 20ft flames either side of the road, sun completely blotted out by the smoke, driving in near darkness on a sunny day, road covered in debris, praying that everyone just keeps moving to get through it. These things change SO fast it catches people out.

Hmm...if the steel core of the coins is 'soft' magnetic material, like mild steel, the the induced magnetism will indeed slowly reduce. To create the effect, you would need a powerful magnetic field that doesn't change polarity. Indeed, how to de-magnetise something is to use a coil powered off ac mains which reverses 100 times a second, and slowly draw it away. ( Remember the 'wand' that the old tv engineer used when your tube tv screen went funny colours?) Magnetising ( or what magnet manufacturers call 'charging' or 'energising') can indeed be achieved using a single high-level pulse of DC current, like what a capacitive discharge will produce, or, in this case, a lightning 'strike'. I put 'strike' in parentheses, since the big high current ( million + amps) discharge goes UP. The high voltage 'leader' comes slowly down, finding a path, ionising a channel of air, and the ground discharges to the cloud. Persistence of vision makes us see this as a downward 'stroke'. Lightening rods etc spray electrons up to the cloud, discharging the cloud, and can actually make a big upward discharge more unlikely. I'm selling my magnet collection.

Oh I would give this ten 'likes' if I could. My wife also thinks this is brilliant......

Don't forget they also roll the turds in glitter......:)

Except, of course, that between being 'The Pink Floyd Sound' and 'Pink Floyd' there was 'The Pink Floyd'...:-)

OMG...I forgot the Ramones!!!!!! 1 2 3 4 then 17 tracks in 29 minutes and off. Cretin Hop will live forever. Mind you, if you think about it, The Ramones is just Buddy Holly speeded up.......

Mind you- Dub is easier on this system that I built for the Studio last year- ghastly lamp for scale!!

Ah yes- so difficult to recall favourites- (such a strange concept there...) Early Joni Mitchell!!!!! I bought Rubycon on cd last year. Orb- I played "Towers of Dub" to a friend of mine who loves Reggae- he'd never heard it and couldn't believe what he was hearing.....everyone should have Victor Lewis-Smith and a dog on their album...

I've already got me coat......

Just started playing them again. The early 10cc stuff is so well recorded, too... I had to look in iTunes under 'recently played' to find out what I've liked lately!!

Never heard of him. Must investigate, based on that first listening. Very quickly off the top of me yed: Thomas Dolby Buzzcocks The Planets esp. Venus and Neptune Debussy Solution pre-1980 XTC Alan Parsons Project Bonzos Alan Holdsworth Jeff Beck Donald Fagan Freddie Hubbard Jean-Luc Ponty Kraftwerk Soapkills 10cc

Germany, Austria and Italy are stood together in the middle of the pub, when Serbia bumps into Austria, and spills Austria’s pint. Austria demands Serbia buy it a complete new suit, because there are splashes on its trouser leg. Germany expresses its support for Austria’s point of view. Britain recommends that everyone calm down a bit. Serbia points out that it can’t afford a whole suit, but offers to pay for cleaning Austria’s trousers. Russia and Serbia look at Austria. Austria asks Serbia who it’s looking at. Russia suggests that Austria should leave its little brother alone. Austria inquires as to whose army will assist Russia in compelling it to do so. Germany appeals to Britain that France has been looking at it, and that this is sufficiently out of order that Britain should not intervene. Britain replies that France can look at who it wants to, that Britain is looking at Germany too, and what is Germany going to do about it? Germany tells Russia to stop looking at Austria, or Germany will render Russia incapable of such action. Britain and France ask Germany whether it’s looking at Belgium. Turkey and Germany go off into a corner and whisper. When they come back, Turkey makes a show of not looking at anyone. Germany rolls up its sleeves, looks at France, and punches Belgium. France and Britain punch Germany. Austria punches Russia. Germany punches Britain and France with one hand and Russia with the other. Russia throws a punch at Germany, but misses and nearly falls over. Japan calls over from the other side of the room that it’s on Britain’s side, but stays there. Italy surprises everyone by punching Austria. Australia punches Turkey, and gets punched back. There are no hard feelings, because Britain made Australia do it. France gets thrown through a plate glass window, but gets back up and carries on fighting. Russia gets thrown through another one, gets knocked out, suffers brain damage, and wakes up with a complete personality change. Italy throws a punch at Austria and misses, but Austria falls over anyway. Italy raises both fists in the air and runs round the room chanting. America waits till Germany is about to fall over from sustained punching from Britain and France, then walks over and smashes it with a barstool, then pretends it won the fight all by itself. By now all the chairs are broken, and the big mirror over the bar is shattered. Britain, France and America agree that Germany threw the first punch, so the whole thing is Germany’s fault . While Germany is still unconscious, they go through its pockets, steal its wallet, and buy drinks for all their friends. And when Germany wakes up, it goes out to its car, gets the gun out of the glovebox and heads back inside...

I'm not allowed crayons.

Yeah- so many people with a limited intellect that they are determined to mis-use. The big problem with Berners-Lee's lovechild is the anonymity it confers the users, in many cases. It's incredible how childish people can be on line......

In the late 80's I worked in two nightclubs in Romfud and Sarfend. I'm still scarred by the 'was/were' confusion most of the clientele exhibited. This was before 'fink' and 'innit' appeared, mercifully......

I don't understand this at all. There is a clear enough picture, with a '3' that has no damage or bits missing, that shows it to be the variety that's claimed, albeit a slightly different form to the usual 158A Grade? Look at the coin and decide. Always ignore other people's grading, whoever they are. (If you like it, and the price is right, buy it is my system) The price is hilarious, I grant you...... I've bought from this seller many times and never had any problems....

You didn't see me, right?

Wow! What is that exactly? Do you need special goggles?
