Needless to say, a PM would sort out anything you can't track down commercially. I'm always more than happy to help.
Err ... what is a PM? Isn't that when we have tea? |

4pm is certainly when we TAKE tea, CD, in this country dontcha know. But the PM being referred to here is 'private message'. MB speak. (That's 'Messageboard' IIRC. And that's 'If I recall correctly', a tad OTT, IMO. And those are 'Over the top' and 'In my opinion', ....)

That's German for "Doof bleibt doof, da helfen keine Pillen und keine kalten Umschlaege, selbst Aspirin versagt"
Stupid remains stupid, no pill will help, nor will cold compresses, even aspirin misses the mark.

Hmmm, the German has a more pleasant rhythm; the two W's dissolve much of the appeal

How about the t_i_n alternate translation?

Thick stays thick, pills are no good, neither are cold compresses, even aspirin fails.

Much as I hate to drag this topic back to its original subject...  did anyone see the story in yesterday's Observer? The BBC's unearthed a 1961 documentary it made comparing the lives of two promising young composers: Max, and..... ... Dudley Moore. They're showing it on BBC4 soon, apparently. http://arts.guardian.co.uk/theatre/comedy/story/0,,2104950,00.html |

A pleasure:)
I like the quote from the BBC producer who found it (of Moore):
"There is also something quite shocking in the way he louchely stumbles around Soho with a hangover and lives in such squalor. I think my grandmother would have been shocked."

the son of a shorthand typist and railway engineer People worked hard in the old days, didn't they! Talking of dragging the topic back to its original subject, b-s, I have no memory of posting the extremely off-topic message that seems to have killed the thread  |

I should think John and Cleo Dankworth might be a bit shocked too to see the hospitality of their flat described as 'such squalor'. |

blue_sheep,
I found the article very insteresting from my meditation on life challenges, chances, opportunities etc.j
We do make difference how our life turns out, because we can reject some opportunities.
Moore was such a talented individual. He could do much more with his musical gift.
