October. October, October, October. Oct meaning eight, Ober meaning add another two. Ah, isnt this is what its all about ? The winds, the falling leaves, the sodden turf, autumn all thick and creamy and running down your shirt. Better go and change before the housemaster sees it or youll be eating your breakfast in the Lesser Shed with Swarther of 8C and he has whooping cough. Oh, marvellous. Ailsa:
Oh, and not liking something doesn't make you marrow-minded does it?
How fortuitous a slip ! I often characterise folks who disagree with me as [i] vegetables or [ii] having an abundance of the fatty tissue normally located in ones bones where their brain should be. To be honest, I dont really know what to infer from so vague a phrase as dance music thesedays. That could mean anything or it could mean nothing - pertaining to something entirely imaginary ("yknow - that dum-dum-dum-dum rubbish... people in nappies blowing whistles... ingesting cod liver oil and swaying in some muddy field til 5 in the morning... *that* sort of thing").

The overwhelming majority of people hate the music that most of the people on this list like, it's just something you've got to get used to.
And the overwhelming majority of people on this list hate the music I like, so there you go. I hover near the stereo at a social gathering and suddenly its "well, it is really that late ?" and "anyone fancy some fresh air ?". "Oh come on, guys", I plead, "Beyond Dentistry by Hexen Kaiser isnt *that* bad - theres definitely a tune lurking in there... once the orphans stop weeping, and just before the buzz-saw car alarm theres a brief snatch of Totos Africa... Guys ?" Mark C:
Was the Richard Stilgoe programme the one where they did something a bit like Battleships? I thought it was fantastic.
Couldabin. Dunno. Youre now almost imperceptibly ahead of two others in the race for the Top Prize. Essentially what Im looking for here is simply someone to make a strong case for what the Stilgoe show *might* have been, since weve already established that no-one on Earth can recall what it actually was. In fact, Id go so far to say that anyone who now claims that they *do* know the real answer is lying and, as we all know, lies make the baby Jesus cry. This is by far and away the greatest response, on- or off-list, to anything Ive ever posted. And it regards Richard Stilgoe. This just isnt healthy, is it ? Paul R:
The "WHO" referred to in the text is an acronym for the well-known(apparently not) World Health Organization [snip] I am in a fraternity and it has been a wonderful experience
Did they give you a keg in exchange for your sense of humour ? No, Im kidding. Im having you on. Im pulling your chain. No, *seriously*, Im *joking*. Marcus O:
i think french rap sounds really suave and sexy like rap in most other languages, works best when the rapper just constructs complex plays on words, and puns away for a while (à la tribe called quest)
My mum used to make that. Duck a la Tribe Called Quest. Not edible in the strictest sense of the word. But hes right of course. MC Solaars yr man in that regard, and that fella "Prose Combat" is what youll want to be carrying on with. Some Tories got together today to choose their man for this London Mayor business. I see around 1% of the ballot papers were spoiled. Ive often wondered what this entails exactly. I mean, I think I know what *soiling* a ballot paper would involve. Just how difficult is it to spoil your voting slip ? Suffer a stroke just as you make your cross ? Give it all the sweeties it wants until you fundamentally weaken its character ? Suggestions to the usual PO Box. Courage, little ones. Mike. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
