Moonlighting Archers
Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:56:59 +0100
I like what I've heard of Keith Floyd's autobiography, "Stirred But Not
Shaken". I like Oliver Sterling's voice. I *cannot* listen to Michael
Cochrane reading "Book of the Week" - it has the same effect on me as
Neil Nunes on Continuity, but is worse as it goes on much longer :-) AIAOU?

Typical. The last time I went to London voluntarily (not on business)
was probably when we took the children to see the Dome, more than nine
years ago. Where's the Warrington Marmit ...

OT: Upgrading Windows
Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:56:36 -0000
I know this may strike some as a stupid question, for at least two reasons,

before: any upgrades have been the involuntary result of acquiring a new(er)
machine.

Edward Woodward would,
But he won't anymore,
Coz Edward's deadwood now.
Thrice alliterative tender of trees,
Filmically famous for fearful frying
In Scotland's sinful Summerisle.

sound file greater. The problem is that different tracks play at
different volumes and in the car the quieter ones aren't really viable.
These are files collected ove ...
