Thanks @timbar, that’s most reassuring. I’d forgotten I’d been told about ultrasound (half of what I’ve been told has gone in one ear and out the other). Good tip about the drops – I’ll ask for another prescript […]

That was remarkable, @Timbar.

Hats off to him for dong it so completely unironically.

I continue to dig around and discover TDC gems. His videos are invariably worth watching.

Wonder if he’d have offered to refund you the difference if you later saw another seller offering the same TV at a lower price

Thanks as always @Timbar for padding out my guesswork with facts. Fascinating stuff

nice pick of a nit though @Timbar

That was excellent, @Timbar. It got me thinking about how there are Bach enthusiasts all over the world, who share his legacy.

Then I realised that they are in fact far fewer in some countries.

Great idea Niall. I wonder if this piano is still at Trident studios? Assuming Trident Studios still exist if course…. This from @timbar on my Hunky Dory thread remains my highlight of the Bowie project so […]

@Timbar Yes I’d thought about that. I probably do need to do a summing up post in January. I’m going to watch the two videos you’ve posted to add to my knowledge. Thanks for your insights as you know I’m still […]

Didn’t think […]

Ha! That’s pretty close @timbar You can almost smell the cigarette smoke, stale beer and Brut….

You’ve just made me laugh loudly @Timbar in the middle of a really crap day at work, so many thanks for that my friend.

Thanks @Timbar great insights as always. I still shake my head at your revelation that the piano used on “Hunky Dory” didn’t just sound like the one used on “Elton John” it was the same piano…..

I really enjoy […]

@timbar

The Christians…that’s still a great album. As is “Song” in an understated way. Still hoping their 3rd album will see the light of day.

@Timbar just scrolling through this thread and although I posted the link further down, it’s worth reposting so as many people who may benefit may see it. Martin Lewis has obtained clarification over who amongst […]

I think it’s the other way round @timbar . I think pootling is very slow progress in whatever it is – but you can break into a sweat during a high-octane pottering sesh.

Like @timbar let’s prod those sacred cows.

I offer up Hounds of Love.
