Film needs theory like it needs a scratch on the negative. - Alan Parker (time doesn't agree, or thinks the statement is based on a false premise)

ARGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! and ^&££@%?/!!! For those who noticed my e mail troubles on the Waffle Thread, I have now discovered from whence they come. I contacted my Service Provider(hah. Bitter laugh) and discovered that there is an `identified problem` and that it won`t be resolved until THE END OF SEPTEMBER !!! A WHOLE MONTH? During which time they intend to extract money from me for a service they are not providing. It beggers belief !
Can anyone recommend a company other than Talk bloody Talk? GRRRRR.
For your copper-mining needs, I can warmly recommend Antofagasta. |

Did you hear about the Scottish Highland dancer who washed his kilt?
He can't do a fling with it.

Martle will be disappointed. Anyway, whoever lost paradise was very careless. Best, Alistair |

No, just unfortunate. If they'd lost both paradises that would have been careless.

Well, if we're talking Bagpipe choirs, I think Mahler's Adagietto would be stunning Tommo |

A wild(e) statement is that - the importance of time being now, and all that... Anyway, one simply cannot seem to get loganberries as easily as one once could. Best, Alistair |

'Come, dear, we have already missed five, if not six, trains. To miss any more might expose us to comment on the platform.'Harold Bloom wanted to use this as the epigraph to The Western Canon (it's about belatedness, geddit?  ) but was voted down by his editors. Off-topic but true.

Of course, George Martin's finest moment was the three Flanders & Swann albums he produced in the early sixties.

Nonsense, Richard. You're forgetting about Charlie Drake's My Boomerang Won't Come Back and, continuing the antipodean theme Tie Me Kangaroo Down by the great Rolf Harris.

In testifying to the "greatness" of Sir Rolf Harris, you omit the " , sport" from " Tie me Kangaroo Down...", this seems to me rather like yet more carelessness, if I may make so bold as to say so... Notwithstanding, a box jellyfish to them all, I'd say... Best, Alistair |

Not at all. I was merely emulating, as so often, the example of Winston Churchill, who, when asked how he had managed to live to such a ripe old age, is said to have replied: "No sport." |

Notwithstanding, a box jellyfish to them all, I'd say...
The box jellyfish Chiropsalmus has a rather fascinating visual system, consisting of four of these organs, one on each side of the cuboidal body:  ... each of which has eight eyes, ranging from simple light-sensitive pits to large sophisticated eyes with lens, retina and cornea, although it's rather mysterious how the information from the latter can be processes since the animal lacks a central nervous system. |
