I've always been rather fond of 'Mad as a box of frogs'  A Kiwi friend of mine introduced me to it |

Lynn always said "mad as a bag of snakes"
I thought "mad as a punnet of armadillos" sounded good!!

Just found this. Not sure about Air Mail Music (no notes and no clear indication of the provenance of the recordings). But then again they do issue CDs of music that just wouldn't reach a wide circulation otherwise. Might download this later after I've finished getting the latest dhrupad recording. |

Hope you saw my answer to your post some way back, hh: it's a bit of a pet subject. I've located five of my CDs so far, and I'm positive there should be at least one more.... Somewhere.

I did see that Ron.  Indigenous music from the former Soviet Union is potentially such an interesting field of research, both in terms of the actual music and sociologically too. The more I find out about the music of other cultures, the more amazed I am. There's so much beauty out there (admittedly there's also just as much dross) to be discovered. Why don't I listen to more music? Why do I listen to recordings twice? |

Also meant to ask if that Air Mail Music disc is part of your collection Ron, and if it's any good...

Is there any hope?
I don't think using moisturiser is vain. (Contemplating it certainly isn't.) Can anyone recommend a particular brand? I have sensitive skin if that's any help. |

I wonder if anyone makes a moisturiser specially for "insensitive skin". Brands... hmm... I tend just to dip into whatever I find in the bathroom, anything that has "moisturiser" written on it that is. |

In the days when thick and complicated slap was all part of a day's work, eight times a week, month after month, I used to find that cocoa butter worked as well as anything, hh: not at all expensive, it might be worth a try, though perhaps somewhere less visible than the face for starters....

I wore glasses for about 16 years before discovering contact lenses.
And then my eyes were revealed and then I was in trouble.
Back in my early bespectacled years they were NHS specs - no wonder no-one wanted to wear them.
When my family was able to afford a better class of eyewear, my choice in glasses was about as wonderful as my overall fashion sense and clarity of skin hh, have you turned into Derek Jarman circa 1988??? This sounds an awful lot like the kind of thing you find in his diaries ... |

Our Okazaki Fragment is now addicted to Arabic music. After a bout of intoxication with same he is disconsolate until it is put on again or until a severe effort to distract him is made.
Help!
I think that there are far worse things with which he can become addicted. Besides, Arabic music gives you quite a wide range of possibilities to play with and potentially introduces him to the magical world of microtonality... Oh, I don't mind that he's addicted to Arabic and Turkish music, just that he is addicted to Arabic and Turkish music. I wish he would just sort of like it. As it is, this morning he woke up to my usual morning song and when I was finished and smiling at him, he said "Habibi" -- meaning he wanted to hear this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK9hRgbPsmM  Can't win. |

That sounds like pretty good parenting to me, Turfers. In our case it was the theme from Superted. |

I was trying to give hh some idea how Georgian choire sounds like, but I can not find good example. I think some one has to ask Mr Ron Dough for musical examples. The sound is like nothing else I heard. This is not good. http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=gmhj3Tx8VoY |

HH, I used to use some exfoliant stuff with seeds in it from the Body Shop and I think they do a moisturiser in the same range. Feels very metrosexual going in there amidst unfathomable cornucopia of female stuffs but therin is much folk wisdom from they who care enough about how we brush up to be pro bona about it.
