Re: Illegal in Canada!

Nor me. But we DO go out and rarely see such behaviour. We've learned how to avoid it.

We know it from our own direct experiences.

We believe in making things happen, not letting them happen to us. Because of that we don';t have a tv and don't buy newspapers. Be active, not passive :-)

I used to love band performances in the park.

My publisher's son is a splendid cornet player, I'd go to his performances if I could rely on knowing that he'd be there ... Yoof!

OK, where's your next performance? If it's anywhere near where we'll be we'll go. Well, I shall.

Mary

I don't remember everything.

Well, actually, I think I do. I have a wonderful memory.

The problem lies in the retrieval system.

Mary

"Stooped"? What do you think I am? Of course I listened to the Light programme - until it stopped. I don't listen to Radio 1.

Dead Ringers isn't what it used to be so even when we're at home n a Friday evening we don't always hear it. Many Friday evenings see us in other parts of the country. Next Friday we'll be at Stoneleigh, as previously announced :-)

Working very hard :-(

Mary

That's interesting and I wonder why.

There are at least three non-profit/public TV stations in the NYC area, which carry BBC news. The NY Metro area stations have _very_ local news - some of them have a half hour of national news, which will include a few minutes of international coverage. The BBC coverage gives nearly half an hour of international news.

How do you know, Sheila? I thought you were in UK.

Mary

I go back and forth. At the moment, I'm forth (or should that be 'furth'?). I should be back next month.

Sheila

Right. I look forward to it -) And I'm impressed.

It was introduced during WW2 to boost moral of factory workers making arms. To get production up. It went right up until about 1965-66 I believe.

All the books are in the library, but the card catalogue's a bit disordered?

If it's the same programme:

Sing Something Simple had its silver anniversary in 1983, and went on to make it to 30 before the decade was out. Another Radio 2 institution, Your Hundred Best Tunes, celebrated its silver anniversary the same year. Your Hundred Best Tunes is still going strong today.

I can't find the card catalogue :-(

Mary

So I see, it seems to be upside down and untrimmed.

For example?

Telegoon Toon by Big Ben Banjo Band, 45 RPM 7-inch single...

Big Ben Banjo Band

SIDE ONE: BEAUTIFUL SCREAMER (Arr. N. Paramour)

SIDE TWO: TELEGOON TOON (Signature of "The Telegoons") (Edward White)

This 45 RPM single, which has the signature tune from The Telegoons on its B-side, features a Goon-like instrumental parody of Stephen Foster's classic song, Beautiful Dreamer (1862) on its A-side.

Sounds utterly, umm, bizarre. :-)

Is this a bad time to mention that my mum really likes Judge Jules, on Radio 1.

Hates the chart shows, WestWood (As do I), but give her some banging techno, or happy hardcore, and she's away.

Radio 4 even gets turned off, and the only other time that happens is when the kiddy-patronisers come on.

So your neighbor pays some stupid tax, and continues making noise. Does that make you feel better in some way?

A tempoaray glitch perhaps? It's a link off their main page though - perhaps it requires going there first... although it worked directly for me just now.
