Please, for the sake of the board, stop these petty posts GoodSpeak. We are not all waiting!

Have the right settings, but suddenly an hour ahead here too.

Rather late, but count me as another willing to make whatever financial contribution is necessary to keep things going. The board has been important to me over the last few years and there really is nowhere else quite like it. Will send another donation very soon.

Blue Note Forums = Troublesome Fun

Tempted by the Sinatra Vegas, Evans Vanguard and Ray Charles Country and Western boxes. Would be interested to hear any opinions on the Ray Charles set.

Like Kenny, got to level 10 with IQ of 112. Will try again later.

No flaming please. Elton John. Actually, should be fun.

The big breasts?

Just to be different. Bombers 56 points

Not spoofs but heard in conversation in Japan. The Angry Grapes Die Hardly

It is you. The standard to tv here is atrocious. Thank god for cable.

Not sure but looking at the prices, plus the fact that they have bonus tracks, these could be Japanese releases of the US RVG series (not to be confused of course with JRVG's)!

You think German trains are expensive? Take out a 2nd mortgage or sell a few Mosaics before you use one here.. I can't swim... but there's Easyjet to Luton... but you wouldn't want to go to Luton either.... Preferable to Yorkshire though. Actually, Luton Airport is pretty impressive these days, I was there a few weeks ago. There are trains about every 15 minutes into London and there is a very cheap Easy Jet bus sevice too.

Just made a donation through paypal.

That is because Amazon UK prices include 15% VAT and this is deducted for orders outside the EU.

Meanwhile, the dangers of infidelity in Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand - A 35-year-old Thai woman is reported missing and on the run with her husband's penis after cutting it off when she discovered husband's infidelity. Police Lt. Col. Kornwat Hunpradit said Pornbun Sinthusin, 35, came home in the capital of Bangkok Monday and found her husband, Ploeng Plaekratoke, in bed with another woman. The wife apparently drugged or intoxicated her husband before cutting off his penis with a sharp object., Kornwat said. The husband is now recuperating in intensive care following the ordeal. "We suspect she took both her weapon and her husband's penis because we cannot find the penis in their apartment. We even checked a toilet but she did not dump it there,'' Lt-Col Kornwat said.

Not sure about that MG. It may be rare, but Wimbledon FC moved to Milton Keynes a couple of years ago right?

Was in Germany last week. On the drive from Husum to Bremen my German colleague reached a top speed of 240 kph (150 mph) on the autobahn (no speed limits of course). Hard to relax at that speed!

The second coincidence. The second incident took place around the same time and also had to do with jazz. I was in a used-record store near the Berkeley School of Music one afternoon, checking out the records. Rummaging around in old shelves of LPs is one of few things that makes life worth living, as far as I’m concerned. On that particular day I’d located a used copy of Pepper Adams’s recording for Riverside called 10 to 4 at the 5 Spot. It was a live recording of the Pepper Adams Quintet, with Donald Byrd on trumpet, recorded in New York at The Five Spot jazz club. “10 to 4,” of course, meant ten minutes till four o’clock, meaning that they played such a hot set they went on till dawn. This copy of the album was a first pressing, in mint condition, and was going for only seven or eight dollars. I owned the Japanese version of the record and had listened to it so much it was all scratched. Finding an original recording in this good shape and at this price, to exaggerate a little, was like a minor miracle. I was overjoyed as I bought the record, and just as I was exiting the shop a young man passed me and asked, “Hey, do you have the time?” I glanced at my watch and automatically answered, “Yeah, it’s ten to four.” After I said this I noticed the coincidence and gulped. What in the world is going on? I wondered. Was the god of jazz hovering in the sky above Boston, giving me a wink and a smile and saying, “Yo, you dig it?” Neither one of these incidents was anything special. It wasn’t like my life turned in a new direction. I was simply struck by strange coincidences–that things like this actually do happen.
