Thanx, Phil. He's rejecting the contracts because he doesn't want to play for us anymore because I gave him a warning for playing crap and giving away a penalty in a crucial game (European Champions Cup, which thanks to Gerard we lost 1-0) >:(

Which composer in your opinion created the most beautiful overture?

Which composer in your opinion created the most beautiful overture?
It depends on the type of production the overture was written for, such as, opera or more recent musicals. In my opinion, classically, it has to be the Egmont Overture by Beethoven, for the musical it has to be Oliver! by Lionel Bart. But beautifully speaking, the most melodic must be Kismet which used the tunes composed by Alexander Borodin.

I saw Rolf in concert about 10 years ago, thought he was really entertaining too...
Spike Milligan was one of my favourite authors too- I thought his series of war books was one of the most poignant, but funny, of any war accounts I've read. The books also give a good insight into where a lot of his performed/ written humour derived from- when he died, I felt a genuine loss, as he was humorous & incisive to the end- I particularly like the way he used to deal with Prince Charles, very few people interact with the Royal Family in such an informal way!

At the time when I first started out on Message Boards, and seeking a good screen name, I attended a BBC Radio recording (comedy music show called Jammin', with Rowland Rivron) and a line from the show was, Brian Eno oriental cousin Philip Eno, and it suck with me.
To understand the true context of my screen name is that my in-laws are Filipino.

'fraid not, Phil, but I would appreciate someone with at least half a brain cell inside their skull to talk to, and you're pretty much the most sensible guy on the entire messageboard, so i'll talk to you :)
Do you think that when someone signs up to be a member on the messageboard, they should stick to being a member and not just post a couple of posts then disappear completely?
It annoys me at how many members you see when you go to the members page who have joined at say february last year, have posted 5 posts and then have never been seen since the day after they joined. I think it's a waste of space, time and effort, what about you?

It annoys me too, a member should stay as a member, with the same screen namae (even the same avatar), to avoid confusing to whom you are communicating with. You do not go round changing you own name all time, probably the Tax Office will be knocking on your door, if so. Yes, indeed agreed with you, a total waste of time and go energy.

A good answer. So what about Robocop? Do you think, like the rest of us, he should stop deleting and then re-starting his account and should keep the same name instead of changing it so we at least know it's the same person as last time?

If he does use the same main screen name, we will know it is him, but why the deletion of previous accounts, it confuses me. In one sense the post count will establish the experience on being on a particular messageboard, like maturity, even though he comes back that maturity is there (?), but not established.

Why do people YWN i meanYAWN?
When tired, or even bored, breath is not deep as usual and the bodies are breathing less slowly, and therefore less oxygen getting into the system, so with a yawn, it is a larger intake of air, thus helping more oxygen get into the bloodstream and the carbon out.

Philip could you tell us what the 'Theory of Relativity' is please?
Firstly:
Einstein's formula tells us the amount of energy this mass would be equivalent to, if it were all suddenly turned into energy. It says that to find the energy, you multiply the mass by the square of the speed of light, this number being 300,000,000 meters per second (a very large number):
e = mc²
= 0.111 x 300,000,000 x 300,000,000
= 10,000,000,000,000,000 Joules

I was born 75 miles from London and was brought to see the sights as a young boy by my parents, and seeing London was exciting then. Now I live in London, I do see the sights occasionally, for instance Kensington Gardens is a short cutfor mewhen walikng into Central London. I have been by Westminster Abbey several times but since a charge was introduced to get in, I always walk on by.

royals when the younger son has children will they be royals, or just aristocrats.

American VHS tapes record in NTSC (or something like that) and UK VHS Tapes are on the PAL system, totally different formats. If you do buy the right VCR, either format can be played on a control setting or instantly recognised.

Philip, why won't farmers take 7 drunk girls cow tipping after the bar closes? ???
Good question. Based on the belief that cows sleep standing up, any person could walk right up next to the cow and using the Pushing Force formula:
Pushing Force = 2 x 300 = 600 lbs MA = 600(5) - 1400(1.25) = 1250 (Counter-clockwise)
The solution comes out to negative 250 foot pounds, which can also be thought of as 250 foot pounds of force keeping the cows feet pressed against the ground and with a drunken girl be the side, two people could exert the required amount of force to tip a static cow, but only if it did not react.

Is there much American culture there in Britain? Here in America we have a few shops that specialize in selling "Things from the UK" (mainly candy and the like), which I think is awesome, as I'm interested in English culture.
Is there any other foreign culture there that seems to have the interest of Britians? Here we have small onclaves (for lack of a better word) in big cities that are culturally diverse... San Francisco has a section called "China Town" with lots of wonderful Chinese shops and stuff. Solvang, California has many shops and traditions that beckon back to the town settlers Dane roots. There are more, I just can't think of them off the top of my head.

It is a thing with Harvard men, too. There is a club called the Hasty Pudding Club, an acting club at Harvard. It is all male, and they all dress up as women. Every year they have the Hasty Pudding
Awards and a famous man and woman in the acting profession is honored. It is a very big deal for
them. Its counted as its members- Theodore Roosevelt, John R Kennedy, Alistair Cooke and
Jack Lemmon, so I would say dressing in womens clothes is just something men in general do. ;)

The dropping of the h shows a form of laziness in speaking as is common as a part of the London accent.
The rhyming slang derives from a disguise language so that others in authority do not know what is been said, so stairs is apples and pears, and feet are plates of meat. Those are traditional slang, but modern has like jam jar for car and dustbin lids for kids. My favourite form of rhyming slang is rhyming with a name of a famous person, such as Gregory Peck for neck or Edward Heath for teeth.

Hi Phillip. I was looking for an appropriate place to ask you this, and so am bumping this one back into prominence. Actually, there's a heap I don't know about you, but I was just looking at your profile ....
I see you are 'a geek' ... and believe that award comes after 9999 posts (or 99999?) ? Was curious about how many you've actually posted, and when I last looked, it was the fiigures above (122023 .... and counting)... also saw that you average over 105 posts a day. That's incredible!

Hi Phillip. I was looking for an appropriate place to ask you this, and so am bumping this one back into prominence. Actually, there's a heap I don't know about you, but I was just looking at your profile ....
I see you are 'a geek' ... and believe that award comes after 9999 posts (or 99999?) ? Was curious about how many you've actually posted, and when I last looked, it was the fiigures above (122023 .... and counting)... also saw that you average over 105 posts a day. That's incredible!

Where can I start to answer all this qusetions, and thanks for bumping this old thread too.
The Geek became when I hit 100,000 posts and for the average, it just happens.
It sems I never will hit a peak, I am what I am.
I do tend to sleep for those six hours, but make up the time when I can. Sleep only comes naturally to me.
The thought of other boards just helps to past the time.
You may have noticed that due to my age, I was younger in the 60s and 70s and it is that music I do prefer (you can count Beethoven in that too).
Gaming just comes at a point of relaxation and seeking inspiration.
As for my wife she enjoys the tv more than I do.

I have not heard of this museum, but it does sound interesting, I cannot make it there today and tomorrow will be difficult, with previous bookings and cricket getting in the way. The museum is based just close to Liverpool Street Station so it can be easily reached.

anyway I've noticed two trends...
1) it seems every flat they go to has a washing machine (for clothes) in the kitchen.
2) every flat has a very small refrigerator.
so my questions are ...
1) Is it typical to have washing machines in the kitchen and do people have dryers as well or do the clothes get hung to dry.
2) how big is your refrigerator? Is it a British thing to have a small fridge?

The answers (bearing in mind that I have only seen that programme once):
1) If the residence of a family is a flat or house which is of a smaller size the washing machine will be in the kitchen (ours is in the kitchen), if a garden is available it is traditional to hang out the clothes to dry on a washing line. If the house can accommodate to have the washing machines and dryers in another space, it can be done.
2) The size of the fridge will depend on the space availibility in the kitchen. We have a Bosch 50/50, it stands about 6ft, where the fridge part is on top and the deep freeze at the bottom.

Most British homes will have the washing machine in the kitchen (this is where the water is). The typical square footage of British homes is smaller than American homes so there is often not the space for a separate laundry room. In the UK I was lucky enough to have a home with a separate utility room which housed a washer, a dryer and a freezer. I only used the dryer if I was in a hurry or the washing was building up. Usually I pegged it outside on the line or I would put it on a rack indoors near one of the radiators.
In the UK many peole have fridges designed to fit under a worktop (countertop) so they are usually smaller than the typical American fridge.
2) The size of the fridge will depend on the space availibility in the kitchen. We have a Bosch 50/50, it stands about 6ft, where the fridge part is on top and the deep freeze at the bottom.
Does the 50/50 bit mean an even split between fridge and freezer? My fridge/freezer here is just under 6 ft but it split so that the fridge is about twice the size of the freezer. This seems to be (from what I've seen) a fairly typical set up. Thus I think all American freezers are tiny! I have another fridge which fits under the worktop - I wish it was a freezer!

That's because (based on what I've seen here) you keep things in the fridge that perhaps don't need to be kept in the fridge at all (like bread and potatoes). Or perhaps need to be kept in the fridge here but survive in the larder/pantry/cupboard in the UK because it is cooler in the UK.

Also I keep more soft drinks in the fridge here. In the UK we drank a lot of squash (a concentrate that you diluted down about with about 5 parts water). It didn't need to be kept in the fridge at all. I can buy it here but it is very expensive so we drink a lot of lemonade, apple cider and juice all of which I keep in the fridge.

I watched Taxi Driver last weekend and saw the ending for the first time. Did Travis die and dreamed his fame or was he actually alive? Also, what is that bizarre double-take he does in the rear-view mirror at the very end of the movie?
Travis survived and is alive, and the looking and moving the rear-view mirror reflects on a changing view of his past.

Lets put it a polite way, I think I can work on these factors: Post Count, Age, Karma, Length of membership.
nally: Postcount of 117763, Age 28, Karma 662, Length of membership 4 years.
So, (117763 x 28 x 662 x 4)/4 = 2,182,854,968
Philip Eno: Postcount of 199053, Age 50, Karma 2506, Length of membership 4 years.
So, (199053 x 50 x 2506 x 4)/4 = 24,941,340,900
As 24,941,340,900 is greater than 2,182,854,968, it has to be considered that most definitely that I am the greater geek, but I still need the info on how long nally was on the original boards before the crash in April 2004.

1 stone = 14 pounds, so the body weight would be 14lbs x 16 = 224lbs. That of cause is the (British) Imperial Measure for weight. I do not know if there is any difference in the US Pound from the UK Pound.

The nose is connected to the ear by the Eustachian tube, so the turning down the volume on radio relieves pressure within the ear and subscequently relieves the pressure in the nose, thus creating space to deal with amora better.

Try on the belt and mark where you need a new hole. This can be done either by marking the spot on the belt with a pen or by pushing the prong of the belt buckle into the leather to make an indentation.
Find a nail that is the same diameter as the hole you want to make. Place the nail over the spot you have marked and hit it with a hammer to drive it straight through the leather.
Trim any ragged edges around the new hole. Use either a sharp knife or a pair of small, sharp scissors.
Seal the punched leather with clear shoe polish, working it inside the hole.

Blood alcohol content is usually expressed as a percentage of alcohol (generally in the sense of ethanol) in the blood. For instance, a BAC of 0.10 means that 0.10% (one tenth of one percent) of a person's blood, by volume (usually, but in some countries by mass), is alcohol.

Why do my knees pop and crack every time I walk up the stairs? ???
Most commonly, this is either scar tissue or a rough area between the kneecap and the femur where the knee cap rubs. Cracking and popping inside of the knee is very common, and usually does not need any treatment at all. If the knee produces pain and swelling, then treatment can be performed; often non-operative treatment consisting of specific exercises and physical therapy helps.
Drinking glucosamine increases joint lubrication. If these symptoms persist, a careful physical examination, x-rays, and an MRI are usually performed to make the diagnosis. Sometimes damaged articular cartilage or scar tissue can be smoothed, removed, or re-grown in order to diminish the pain with popping. Catching in the knee is most commonly either torn meniscus cartilage, scar tissue, or sometimes a loose body. The diagnosis is confirmed by history and physical examination, x-ray, and MRI.

Sorry I cannot answer this myself, but on wiki:
It was announced on 22 January 2011 that the show will not be returning for a fifth series, despite impressive ratings. This decision has led to many viewers complaining, prompting BBC One controller Danny Cohen to say, "Lark Rise to Candleford has been a truly wonderful part of the BBC One schedule and we are incredibly grateful to writer Bill Gallagher and the team. But we feel the time is right to make room for new dramas which we hope will be taken to the nation's hearts in the same way."
Following that announcement, many viewers have taken to setting up and signing online campaigns to see the show recommissioned.

The best color to keep cool in the heat, it turns out, is to wear black. Black absorbs everything coming in from the sun, sure. But black also absorbs energy from the body instead of reflecting it back. Now, the helpfulness of black clothes depends on finding black clothes that are the same thickness and looseness as those summery white clothes. Black clothing also needs a little help from atmospheric conditions. Once it has absorbed heat, it has to have some way to radiate it away. If there's even a little wind, black clothing is the better choice for those who want to keep cool, like goths who understandably don't like sweating through their make-up. So find something black to wear this summer.

On really hot days, you should wear two layers. Yes, i know that sounds crazy but it works. The lower layer (should be something like a figure hugging tank top, of cotton or other breathable fabrics) absorbs the sweat and allows it to evaporate while the upper layer blocks some of the heat.

I think it's German for "commissioner". You're right; Falco wrote and recorded the song "Der Kommissar" (mostly in German, with a few English phrases here and there) in the early 80's, and British new-wave band After The Fire covered it shortly thereafter (mostly in English).

In the context of the song, it likely refers to the Commissars, political officers assigned to units in the former USSR (and their East German equivalents.) The Kommissar's job was to make sure that the people didn't get any strange political ideas into their heads.
The song tells the story of someone who met a young East german girl who took the singer to the places where underground music was performed outside of the watchful eyes of the commissars. Radio stations couldn't air certain songs on the radio or perform them in public without risking arrest.

When she rides with the others in the subway singin'
Don't turn around (uh-oh)

And if he talks to you
Then you'll know why,

Wise words to live by for anyone living under STASI in the DDR, or for those living in some other surveillance state. If you know you're being followed, don't turn around (because doing so lets them know that you know you're being followed). Always have a smile and a friendly wave at the ready when the Commissar's in town!

She was young, and her pop was pure,
With every 90's price she got.
A pure heart goes with youth and I'll stick with it, but "her pop (music) was pure" could fit as the song's about a singer.
Can't buy the 90s line - the song wasn't set in some future society, it was a reflection of the Cold War, which was in full swing in 1982.
Maybe it was "But every night, as bright she got?" (That line is a little tough.)
I miss Shirley Jo,
Maybe, but I'm sticking with Jill and Joe both here and in the last verse, not just because I hear it here, but because I also hear it again in the last verse.
That her nose had told the story
The subway may smell funky, but it's about the singer trying to keep up with the crowd of kids keeping one step ahead of the Kommissar.
"It's a clear case!", said Kommissar
'Cause all the children know
He's just explaining things to Herr Kommissar, der Kommissar's not the one speaking. Sticking with "'It's a clear case!', Herr Kommissar, because all the children know" on this one.
They were slidin' down into the valley
They were slipping on the same slope...
We might both be right. The slippery slope analogy makes rhetorical sense in English, and there's no need for a reference to skiing here. And when I re-listen to it, I hear an "l" in that line too.
But -- if I check the German lyrics (and I'm not a German speaker), I hear:
"Wir treffen Jill and Joe
Und dessen Bruder hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen kratzen's ab die Wänd'. -
Dieser Fall ist klar,
Lieber Herr Kommissar,
Auch wenn sie and'rer Meinung sind:
Den Schnee auf dem wir alle
Talwärts fahr'n,
Google Translate suggests the bolded lines are translated to (I may have my verb tenses wrong):
The snow on which we're all
Drivin' down the valley,
I'll go with After the Fire's translation, which refers explicitly to both snow and valleys, but if that's a German idiom for the rhetorical concept described in English as the slippery-slope (and I don't speak German, let alone know its idioms, so I'm not going to guess either way and will defer to anyone who can credibly point to a reference as such), you're right and it was mistranslated by AtF. Neat!

Try using a hand towel or washcloth that is very, very, very lightly dampened.

QUESTION TO ALL: Is it weird that I wouldn't let my own child, if I had one trick-or-treat? I only TOT'd three times and the last time, at the age of eight, a man in a mask chased me down the block. So I quit TOT-ing and just had my mom or dad buy me candy like a normal person. I wouldn't want my child scared like I was, Plus people put poison and razor blades in Halloween candy. When my dad was a kid, a man poisoned and killed four children with candy one Halloween. The only reason I went out was because my mom wanted me to try it. I didn't like it. Why walk around asking for asking from strangers when I could just ask one of my parents? It was cheaper to just spend 85 cents on a king-sized Snickers bar than go through the trouble of a costume and crap like that. :)
I would let no child go TOT-ing, you never know what is behind the door.

There are no towns or areas called shire in London for a shire is a traditional term for a division of land, found in the United Kingdom. AS you described yourself in the fore-mentioned counties Oxfordshire and Bedfordshire.
In Britain, "shire" is the original term for what is usually known as a county; the word county having been introduced at the Norman Conquest of England. The two are synonymous. Although in modern British usage counties are referred to as "shires" mainly in poetic contexts, terms such as Shire Hall remain common. Shire also remains a common part of many county names.

The title refers to Paul's becoming drunk, throwing caution to the wind and running barefoot in Washington Square Park in response to his wife's repeated complaints about his sober and cautious demeanor.
I did not get a chance to go to Washiington Square. It is a prime film location for me, having been featured in "I Am Legend" and "The Adjustment Bureau".

I have always known that "Barefoot In The Park" is a play by Neil Simon, and when watching the film yesterday, I could see how it was set as in the apartment, as you do say, and the rest happened off stage or as described by dialogue.
