Something to lighten the mood

[Galu]

As a gifted Chemist...

Gift of the gab, more like! 😉

M.mchambin, as an Inspecteur of the Surete, I can you assure you we have done due Diligence

Touché.

We had a great DIY/HIFI-meeting yesterday and here is a thread about that. Look at the pictures and/or use Google translate to read the texts.

Yeah, some interesting pictures on page 3. I like those chairs. I wonder if it's the brand that I'm thinking of...

My mood was not lightened by glum-looking pictures of my lovely Agnetha:

However my mood was made more Copacetic by Paul O'Grady tonight on the wireless.

TBH, he is more camp than a row of tents, but has excellent taste. Who could not love "Girls Aloud" singing The Promise? Whilst shedding a tear for my favourite, Sarah Harding?

 

[Galu]

I always leave Paul on after listening to Sounds of the 70s with Johnnie Walker.

I think it may be Paul's long-suffering radio producer, Malcolm, who compiles the interesting selection of highly listenable tracks.

As a tribute to Sarah Harding, what better than a link to "Sound of the Underground"? Great Song.

In that case, perhaps something with flare will...?

much of North America finally got news of the move at Stonehenge . . .

 

[Galu]

I know a man who can move the stones single handed!

 

[system7]

A simple matter for those of Druidic descent! 😀

I was wondering where my Girls Aloud! CDs were.

I even dug into the "Discard to Charity Shop Box". No sign. 😕

Several notable ex-Chanteuses were discovered. But as my very good friend, Mr. Mick Jagger frequently says:

"YOU KNOW I USED TO LOVE HER, BUT IT'S ALL OVER NOW."

Yeah, they were trying to get away from him!

Back in the day, we merely danced a few widdershins round the Maypole to ensure success in the coming year. 🙂

In the more complicated modern World, my local witch-doctors have advised me I need BOOSTER!
All good. Simple matter of visiting the NHS website with my secret 10 digit NHS number.

I can hardly wait until tomorrow for my BOOSTER! 😎

 

[system7]

Was it just me, or did anyone else fall about laughing in the usually sober and serious "Multi-way" forum today? 😀

Why not drop Paul Carmody a line and ask his opinion on adding a .5 woofer to the Amiga?

...He says he doesn't want to answer this kind of questions for family reasons. I fully understand that.

Dear Neighbour,

My name is system7; I live in the local area. Would you not agree that when you look at the World today it is in turmoil?

I am sending you this picture to help you see this ruined old World we live in will not last, but will soon be replaced.

Please stay safe and keep well through the winter months ahead.

Kind Regards

system7

Have you been watching "When Worlds Collide" again? 😉

Members who find numerical calculations to be calming or soothing, may enjoy taking a quick look at (this post) over in the parts forum. One of its two figures is attached below.

I got this PM from Belgium this morning:

Hallo Mr Steve.

I have already read many comments you have posted regarding crossover filters. There's no doubt that you're a pro in this field, so I'm taking the liberty of asking you a question.......snip

Went on to ask some question about suitable new Capacitors for this circuit:

I was pretty stumped as to what Capacitors to suggest. But remembered that Galu had said always buy Mundorf Capacitors.

Sent him off shopping:

Mundorf Electrolytic ECap Capacitors

Bingo! My reputation preserved. Mood lightened.

I love this one.

Very funny, soundbrigade! And how true.

Jesse has become something of a celebrity in our street, though he has caused consternation amongst the Church-goers. They wanted him removed. I patiently explained that we live in a Secular Society, and added, just to confuse them, that "The Lord moves in Mysterious Ways."

Jesse arrived out of nowhere one morning. I opened my curtains and saw him staring at me from under the Plum tree outside. I was pretty spooked, I tell you.

Moved him to my housemate's patch, and pointed his baleful gaze away from our house.

Since then, me and Jesse have become great friends. He shows great talent for gardening, so much so, that I now leave such matters entirely to him. Plants grow to an extraordinary size near him.

I have subsequently learned that Jesse comes from Tobago.

The story follows "ancient" Jesse, an obeah practitioner living in Tobago. In the story, Jesse, whom Phillpotts describes as being of "exceptional character and significance," lives in and tends to his garden, and does not take kindly to visitors—in fact, he uses his practice against them.

You couldn't make it up.

I thought that you were a big enough fertility symbol yourself, Steve! 😉

Is it not true that you have often been urged to "go forth and multiply"? 😀
