Good to hear, speedy recovery @pencilsqueezer.

Splendid news, @pencilsqueezer – all went well, I hope? And NHS angels, eh? After my op, I was ministered to by a corpulent lad with a beard and biker tats.

@pencilsqueezer…Good luck mate. I recommended my Loewe Klang to my best friend the other day….

All the best for the op @pencilsqueezer

@Pencilsqueezer is the resident streaming expert, although I expect him to say Wiim, too. I understand the technology behind it well, but my Naim streaming preamp is a decade old and somewhat off the state of […]

Great choice @Pencilsqueezer. Always a pleasure when you have a movie to recommend. You know your cinematic onions. Which Nino Rota soundtrack would suit this thread? Hermann was one of the greats. The […]

@pencilsqueezer when things have settled down here and you’ve had your ops* we shall all have to meet up. *any further news?

@pencilsqueezer Body and Soul 1940 version or Body and Soul 1957 version? The latter is one of my favourite songs. Her delivery of the opening line and Ben Webster’s sax are fantastic.

Oh come now @pencilsqueezer, tell us what you really think!

@pencilsqueezer Well…I’ve taken the free trial route for a month. I don’t currently own a standalone streamer but have been trying it out using the application in my Novafidelity X40 hard disc player. The u […]

Thanks a lot @pencilsqueezer. A superb contribution. I’d never heard of them but they are an excellent choice for this thread.

If you like a bit of chamber cello, @pencilsqueezer, you might like a disc on Lyrita called British Cello Works. Smyth, Maconchy, Lutyens and Clarke – all cello and piano, Lionel Handy and Jennifer Hughes. […]

I think you’re probably right @pencilsqueezer. I won’t be doing any washing till tomorrow at the earliest but it does make a racket . Thanks for the advice but I’m concerned now! I’ll have a move round later a […]

It’s been a shit old June, all things considered. Condolences to @locust and hip hip (SWIDT!) hooray to @pencilsqueezer. Even a much vaunted trip to the flicks got scotched, as the aftermath of the steps wedding f […]

Cheers for the clarification, @pencilsqueezer Unfortunately, the divisions in UK society are getting broader, deeper and nastier with every passing day.

Inspired by @pencilsqueezer above, I thought I’d have a try at a list of late Romantic/early 20th century pieces. Not easy – lots to leave out – including the entire 2nd Viennese School repertoire (which a […]

At this point it’s my sole remaining reason for engaging with this thread, @pencilsqueezer.

I know I saved the photo somewhere it’s possible I may have it on an old hard drive. @pencilsqueezer or possibly we’ll always have Powys.

It’s a film primarily for teens and young adults, @pencilsqueezer. Which does not mean older viewers won’t enjoy it too. I saw it at a screening during the Stockholm Film Festival in cinema full of teens. […]

Thanks a lot @pencilsqueezer. What a superb podcast. Oddly enough, a few weeks ago, I saw an charming anime about a Japanese girl who experienced synaesthesia.
