Anybody notice a pattern emerging?

I'd not fancy their chances (NOW THIS MINUTE) against Midllesborough for instance, cos they'd most likely lose, as you are seemingly losing your persective too John, innit?



Fritz von Educate yourselves with either Bill Maher or John Stewart, it's quite simple, like Our Mick***

Does Bill Maher still present 'Politically Incorrect' on Comedy Central then, Fritz? I thought he'd been summarily dismissed after some comments he made following the September 11th attacks.

John Stewart is always a good laugh on the Daily Show, ironically probably the most accurate US news bulletin there is!

A bloody good piece of writing I thought to mesen, innit.

I love them both Jon Boy, but they are in essence very very different, Stewart is sindicated all over the world CNN (think about it Jon!) Bill Maher isn't. As far as I'm concerned if public perceptions were outraged by 'alleged' incorrect statements he wouldn't be watched in the most hard core market orientated society on Earth, or am I just imagining it mate?

Fritz von Stick with the 'TRUTH' that you personally feel comfortable with, it's a human addiction, innit.



I wonder what Our Arye thinks he's thinking today then?

Best party ever on Friday.

Finished work at 10 pm, back home via the Off-license (cans and Wyberowa, no quantities specified, please note!), a quick bath and chamge, and short walk to a friends 26th birthday party. I bought her some lovely scent!

The rest is history, but I walked home at 8 am, the only male at the party still conscious! I call that a classic. Simply fanrastic mood and company.

Shall be online again from home tomorrow!

Fred

Well done Our Fredders keep up the good work Son.


Fritz von Being (unlike) some of my mates, a person who doesn't discuss his private life (re-women & Sex) I've just sent a rather gorgeous Polish (Mate) on her way after an undescribable breakfast, and I'll probably not see agin for quite some time. but we're always connected, innit:


If Mrs Mick and the cat left town would Our Mick still dicipline himself to just the two glasses of Bell's a night?

One assumes that if Canada spontaneously sent missiles into Northern parts of the US, Bush would strategically NUKE them before breakfast?


AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT?


I AM RIGHT!

Fritz von Nice (though not surprising) that nobody knows what the fuck they're talking about re: above acoustic question, perhaps there are hifi internet forums that can answer and deal with such questions on the old ether?

P.S. Just another quick Fritzism: In my opinion Blair actually has a lot more power than Bush (Politically though obviously not relatively). Bush often gets slammed down even by his own people in Congress on various issues, as does (did) the old monster Sharon too. When Hillary becomes President will she be capable of loosening things up, and getting back to the good old days of US foreign policy being put well back on the burner again ( even now only 0.05% of major er, news Networks cover overseas stories with no military or financial US connection) ( as in UK too, watch & think) as it should be in the UK too (unless of course they ever actually decide to 'realistically' become part of €urope, cos a bit of salt water's no excuse, no Sireee*

There is an old fable about the Blind Men and the Elephant that really reminds me of all the chatter about audio products that goes on here and elsewhere. I consider myself guilty of it as well, although lately i've been trying to avoid doing it.

In short, we compare two pieces of equipment in a certain room, with certain recordings and then, based on our personal tastes and the sound under one set of conditions, we pronounce one "better" than the other. IMO, it's just like a blind man contacting one portion of the elephant and then concluding that the elephant looks like a ... whatever.

There are times that such postings serve a purpose - to simply share experiences or to help out someone in a part of the world where a demo may be impossible. But I think we need to realize that perhaps our valuable opinions about gear are valid only under the test conditions we've evaluated the equipment under. At the very least, it's a cute poem. Enjoy.

Christ! And I thought I was a boring old bastard!

Fritz von Is Mick Parry really Jeremy Clarkson?

Both Mrs Mick and I run Honda Civics. Hers is a recent purchase whereas mine is now 6 years old.

I was planning on selling mine and keeping hers and also buying a sportier model for her everyday use.

We had a visit from Merlin of PFM fame last week and he turned up in a nifty little Porsche 911. She was quite impressed by it and is dropping hints that she would soon like one for herself. I prefer a Jaguar XK8 but this car is a 35th wedding aniversary present and she wants the Porsche.

I am not mad enough to buy brand new because of the rapid depreciation on price but I have heard that once a car hits 2 or 3 years, the depreciation tails off rapidly.

So is this true and does anyone know the state of the market. Is difficult to sell them (please say it is ) or do they get snapped up fairly soon.

Also is there anything gruesome about them etc that I should know.

Regards

Mick

I know they're a British car Our Mick, but thread titles spelling the product wrongly is certainly a return to sender jobby innit John?



Fritz von No such number:

I suppose that When you consider that yer average second hand run of the mill Honda Civic has more computer power in its CD player than the entire Apollo Mission of the 60's, and Kennedy said in 61 we'll be on the moon afore 70. It kinda makes yer wonder why today's latest NASA Lunar mission will take till 2020+ innit:



Fritz von Mind you the silly billy Yanks didn'thave a war to pay for I suppose then did they?



The inner square equates to 60's penatagon Toilet seats at $5,000 a hit and the ratio to the present outer square is 10 to the power of Halliburton, innit*


Obvious innit Tom:

I was just looking at some great old Penatagon Radio/Sat close up pics from Neptune taken in the 90*s & apparently in the not too distant future so-such close ups will be awailable here on earth too.


Fritz von The Chief reckon's he'll even be able to see the spot in Epping Forest where he buried the loot long ago from the Tiger Tavern Job (Ooops wrong script) I mean where he used to go crabbin in Burnham on Craaaach:

There is a warning in the manual that the tyres do not achieve full grip until they have about 500 miles on them, so certainly be careful initially. Generally though, the Boxster has so much grip I doubt you would get anywhere near its limits on the public highway.

It seems to me John old Son that yourself and others have to consciously think before posting such obvious tripe, where'as mine comes naturally every time mate*

Freeman Dyson recalls a speech of Churchill at the start of the war and how people of that generation still believe that if you really want to , you can get anything done in 5 years.

[EDIT]Churchill: "I am sorry I cannot do anything for you in less than three years. I give an order to build a factory today and in two years you have nothing, in three years you have a little, in four years you have a lot , in five years you have all you want"

Although Bobby Moore (who's hand I once had the great pleasure of shaking as a lad) was/is naturally not the most talented English footballer of all time (that'd be Vinnie Jones I expect) he certainly, in my mind at least is/was the most 'ICONIC' player in English history and will take a fuckin lot of beating.


Fritz von I just though I'd mention his hollowed name once again as he seems rather absent on these pages of late, innit*

Yes!

I recall the melody of that song.

There is indeed the 'All hands on deck' part. Dyson mentioned the quote because of the general feel but his article focused on false economies of scale, how projects tend to be too big due to some economy of scale rationale.

NASA is special in that its logic dictates that a project has to be big otherwise NASA has no reason to keep existing at the current scale.
The original promises for the space shuttle included that it would be possible to run weekly flights in a very safe manner.
