Oi - Mr T - lunchtime is over! I don't have time to read your last post. I need you to do some proof reading for me.... Then we're going for a swim

Talasiga's only allowed on the internet while he's eating. He's been taking too long and I've told him to go and do the washing up and practice his music (before he mows the lawn). It is now early afternoon here and I'd prefer he gets his practice in now rather than in the evening when I'm trying to...

Pellucid - fabulous word. Lucid with pells on.

Talasiga's post: one way to look at the major pentatonic scale is that it is the major scale with the 2nd and 7th notes omitted. contains a typo. The 4th and 7th notes are omitted - not the 2nd and 7th. (Mr T is up north visiting the beautiful granddaughter in her new rainforest home and doesn't hav...

Thanks Denny - I heard about this research on the radio and I knew you'd have posted a link! Amazing that they can interpret these dots as a whole new world. I hope your summer was bounteous.

Decades of beachcombing have revealed that far more right ones wash up than left. Speculation, about the effects of the swirling currents spinning the right one...

And here in Oz the price is fluctuating between $1.60 and $1.80 a litre at present which means it costs me around $60 when I fill up with petrol each week (I travel 400k home to office and back). I know this is unsustainable but the Government's efforts to decentralise about 20 years ago didn't real...

Wot, folk musicians ain't folksy?

Thank you for this - they really are great pictures. I liked the one of the lone boat on the river in China. My little brother was just telling me last week that his was one of 300 tourist boats travelling along the river the day he was there - so this photographer did very well to just capture one ...

Perhaps a periscope attached to the safety glasses??

My dentist has installed a flat screen TV on the ceiling above the patient's chair to distract the patient from the inevitable drilling. The surgery actually has picture windows with a great view along the wall in front of the chair but you can't see out when the chair is tilted back. There must be ...

I know next to nothing about my genealogy. I can sort of understand why people would be interested. On the other hand, on account of that whole 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 .... thing, you go up a few generations and there's a crowd of people contributing to your genetics. (Plus, in my case, I suspect a the...

They look so comfortable together - like they're sharing a private joke. Look how her sleeve is pulled up - she's prepared for the next round of work even though it looks to me as if the photo is taken in a studio in front of that potted fern. I've been scouring the UK census records for the place o...
