THe original article acknowledges that it isn't a law per se, but it's not a myth. You *CAN* get transferred to another airline/flight at the ticket agent's discretion. It sounds like your attitude going into the discussion determines alot of the outcome. Be pleasant, and the agent may work it out for you.

Because Flemish is one of the two main languages (along with French) in Belgium?

If someone gave me that $70M gift, I think I'd sell it, buy something for half the price, and then buy a chalet in Grindelwald.... and still have $34.5M left over!

Hey, we already gave you Dubya, Crazy Astronaut Lady, and Aggies! Isn't that enough??

I think she took my advice and is ignoring you.

You shut the hell up before we kick your ass outa here. Quick, look everyone! It's rubbing off. . That's just Ron....ignore him, we all do.

I'm on my first spin of this concert recording, and think it's wonderful! There's a good bit of chanting for those that may be averse to that, but DAMN it's emotional, beautiful music.

Michigan must teach some of those British maths

I don't see any point in bringing any disputes over here and hashing them out here. Some people are choosing to post here, and they are most welcome. If people have issues on another board, for whatever, reason, let that stay there.

Let's do it again!

I hope those weren't part of Ron's 278 orders! He's gonna be mad~!

I hope you didn't cough or take a photo when you got it

I think you'll fit in quite nicely then! LOL

Finally gave up on the Swiss marketplace vendor, after 3 full months of "we're waiting to get it from our supplier, have patience" emails. I already have the box, so I'm not really out anything, music-wise. But I was hoping to get the U.S. big-box, and sell/trade my zweitausendeins mini-box instead.

Nat King Cole Trio - Transcriptions (3cd) John Coltrane - The Impulse Albums Vol. 1 (5 cd) Miroslav Vitous - Universal Syncopations II Maynard Ferguson - A Message From Birdland

Always nice to have a Schwabian viewpoint on the board - welcome Hepcat! (PS - I lived in Stuttgart for 5 years (99-03) and loved every minute of it!)

Props to Jim, again!

Welcome to the Big O board, Saundra - glad to see you here as well. I think you'll enjoy this board.

Gotta throw Conn a (trom)bone now and then....

For anyone interested in the Rolling Stone Cover to Cover DVD set, it appears to be a clearanced item at Barnes & Noble (they're sold out online - at least of the clearance copies). I found a copy in my local store today for $24.98, and used a 25% off coupon to get it for real cheap!

From Sound and Vision Online: Meanwhile, as if that weren't news enough, Leff also tells me that he's now handling King Crimson and "working on getting the entire catalog reissued in 5.1," hopefully with mixes done by . . . Steven Wilson! Currently, Leff and Wilson are "waiting on Robert Fripp [who guested on PT's Fear of a Blank Planet and Nil Recurring] to hear Steven's work on some of the older KC stuff before he gives us the green light to proceed." Just imagine the likes of Larks' Tongues in Aspic (above right), Red, and Discipline in surround. Oh, baby. Leff = Andy Leff, PT's manager, who also apparently manages KC now (?).

Glad they were caught and that you got some (all?) of your stuff back! But you might still want to take some precautions - dog, alarm system, or something. If they were planning to return, it's very possible they may have told their buddies about your place, and your goodies, so you still may have eyes following you.

Well, I don't think this is the same PT Live album that is being planned for later in the year, but here's some more good news, from SW HQ: "We Lost the Skyline": On the 4th October 2007 Porcupine Tree arrived for an in-store performance and signing session at Park Avenue CDs in Orlando, Florida, with 200 fans also in attendance. Although it was originally planned that the full band would play, lack of space dictated that it was only the 2 guitarists / singers Steven Wilson and John Wesley who delivered an impromptu performance, including many songs rarely (if ever) played by the band, making for a very special and intimate show. Fortunately this one-off performance was captured by a remote recording facility and the complete 8 song, 33 minute show is now being released in a mail order only CD, with a digipack sleeve created by photographer Lasse Hoile and designer Carl Glover. The CD will be available to pre-order soon from the PT Store (please do NOT email to ask when), and is expected to ship in the week commencing 11th Feb. Dutch vinyl specialists ToneFloat will also release a quality 180gm vinyl edition of We Lost the Skyline in a gatefold sleeve, with a limited and numbered edition of 1,000 copies on marbled vinyl, and a regular edition on black vinyl. These editions will be released on 18th March, but will also be available to pre-order soon from the ToneFloat website. The Porcupine Tree store will also stock the vinyl editions once they are released. Full track listing for the album is: 1. the sky moves sideways (4.02) 2. even less (3.27) 3. stars die (4.33) 4. waiting (3.52) 5. normal (4.52) 6. drown with me (4.09) 7. lazarus (4.29) 8. trains (4.04)
