[QUOTE=davieddy;333498]I love Simon'o'Garfunkel nearly as much as Gilbert'o'Sullivan.[/QUOTE]

But david, you have to admire instrumentals. Saying things without words takes thought.

Sounds like you've just come back from Cheltenham.

Why?

Why is the human voice so important?

The Art of Noise comes to mind....

[QUOTE=xilman;333356]Thanks.

She has her Kindle and Samsung Galaxy tablet in with her. There's WiFi in the ward but she needs to track down a friendly geek to supply her with the password. She took a couple of books in with her and there's an extensive reading list ready to replace them in due course.

As you may be able to guess, this surgery was planned well in advance --- November IIRC.

Has she heard of Mersenneforum?

[QUOTE=chalsall;333544]Coolness.

Personally, I've always been in love with Laurie Anderson.[/QUOTE]
I love boring cricket.
Is it going to keep me awake, or will it rain in New Zealand?

If you meant this gem, we are in another ballpark altogether (I wish)

That's Anne Murray. As I know you know.

I'm talking about Laurie Anderson.

O Superman is some of her best work. But there's much more (as I hope you know).

[QUOTE=ewmayer;333554]Richard had obviously tried and goofed his attempt as "quote-box special effects", and you went on and quoted his mal-quote. Did my best 60-second fixup job. If you don't like, there's a number on the side of the machine you can call to attempt to obtain authorization for someone to provide instructions on the procedure to follow to request a form explaining where to get a complaint form, or something.

As you can see, we aim for 100% customer satisfaction![/QUOTE]

If you are so shit hot at fix up jobs, perhaps you could restore some context to this very humourous remark.

[QUOTE=bcp19;333970]For the most part, you should ignore davieddy. He has harped on for well over a year now about the work done by those of us who choose to use GPUs to try and keep ahead of the wavefront. Somewhere in his brain though is a cross-circuit between us being useful and his not being able to be snide about our minor problems. Simple logic shows we(GPU72) have done wonders in making sure the majority of exponents are TF'd to a point where people can expect that most reasonable factors have been found, but we are faulted by davieddy every time a single exponent gets by us, no matter what the reason.

As my dad often says: It's a thankless job (especially where davieddy is concerned) but someone has to do it.[/QUOTE]
