    No, I don't like opera, but they can sing, and to music, even though I don't enjoy it (c) Rap is not singing, the closest might be described as chanting. I don't like all kinds of music and/or singing, but I know whether it is musical or not. I'm not trying to impose my 'standard' of music on anyone, just using a normal definition of music, as against noise

    Or a development of the Wickham trolley?

    Although they're not my favourite band, they've produced some good stuff. but importantly, everything that they've done has at least been music, compared to certain genres, which consist of people shouting or ranting over a repeated beat or noise, not music!

    Agreed, then they're almost as good looking as an Achilles class!

    I would suggest that they've been doing this for far longer than the last couple of years.
  6. jcm@gwr
    Not going to disagree with that, but pretty it's not!

    I know we all have different definitions/translations of beauty, but I really think that belongs in the 'other' thread!

    That'd be a Yorkshire Elf then!

    He was, after all, an Anglican Bishop, not a Catholic, and it was the Pope that objected to condoms, etc.

    Fair enough, I didn't realise that they made more than locos, rolling stock, etc. but to be pedantic, I would class telegraph poles as infrastructure, not scenery!

    I didn't think that Rapido did scenic items!

    Confused? Swindon did do it, that's what the 2 pictures show!

    I've stopped watching those Railfan videos, firstly, because of the childish noises they add (their poor attempt at trying to make it funny), and secondly, it just confirms how stupid most american drivers are, most wouldn't pass a driving test in this country, or indeed many other developed countries!

    Another interesting twist in this murky tale, firstly, there are rumours that Netflix are making a film about this season (and it wouldn't be good for the plot if everything was 'by the book' would it?) secondly, Liberty Media are looking to buy Netflix, hmm, makes you wonder!

    My old school mate, and Best Man, lives in New Zealand now, and his wife described MV as a 'petulant child', leading up to the race, and she's Dutch!

    I might have something very similar, if you're looking to restore to original condition, or as close as possible. If not, you'll need to replace them all, for consistency.

    Not forgetting, when things go wrong, clutch-less gear changes!

    I was commenting generally, and agreeing with you, that some people are over sensitive, or specifically look for things to be offended at, on behalf of others, certainly not aimed at you

    Must be difficult to travel, not being able to take a trans-atlantic voyage, or the trans-siberian express, etc!

    Sometimes certain people put their toes where you're about to step, on purpose!
  21. jcm@gwr
    but the terminally stupid average american driver could still drive through them. I've corrected your last sentence!
  22. jcm@gwr
    What we (and F1) really need now, is for the drivers to refuse to race on that circuit, it's obvious that Liberty are only interested in the money, not driver safety.
  23. jcm@gwr
    And that's the point, it's about kiddy speak, how kids talk, nothing to do with foreign accents, if anything, it could be accused of being ageist, not racist, but your 4 year old is unlikely to report you to the authorities!
  24. jcm@gwr
    As far as I'm concerned/aware, the 2.30 (tooth-hurty) is just a play on words, anyone who twists it into into a racist comment needs to have a long think about what is really important in life, and stop taking offence on behalf of others, who normally don't need someone else's interference! (not what I really want to say!)

    But it probably meant the end of the constant daily use, it mainly got used at the weekends after the introduction of pit head baths.
