MikeO Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Three times tonight my car alarm has gone off; few minutes ago it went off again so I got in and started it up to try and find the problem. Cause was a moth getting in somehow, swatted the blighter at the third attempt, car alarms are useless; nobody ever takes a blind bit of notice of them anyway.

My alarm guy said the main purpose of an alarm is to scare away the thief rather than call attention from other people. I asked him because the siren I have inside my house produces twice as many decibels as the one on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already on edge because he's doing something illegal, adding 100+ decibels creates a sensory overload. Same reason a lot of alarms trigger lights to flash on and off inside a house. Thief gets confused and runs. At least, that's the theory. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I walked past a child, maybe 3 or 4 years old and her mother yesterday. Mother: Well, I don't know that toy, maybe it's an American toy you've seen on Youtube. Child: No it's not, it's a toy I made up. I made it up, mum. The fact that a kid so young was watching Youtube surprised me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Meant to say this yesterday but forgot. Airports (notably UK ones probably) must be the only places you can be at 4.00am and see loads of people eating a full English breakfast washed down with copious amounts of beer. Makes me laugh.

MikeO Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Female logic: we're on holiday (I may have mentioned this) and when the cleaner came round a couple of days ago wife was feeling a bit icky and in bed so I told her not to bother, hence the bin in the kitchen got full. I emptied it and replaced the bin liner with a carrier bag which was, as far as I could see, our only option. Just went out for a beer (while wife had a nap) and came back to discover she'd found a bin liner and told me that the carrier bag wasn't big enough so she'd put the liner in instead. All makes sense so far until I realise she's not removed the carrier bag but simply put the bin liner inside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Strange this, as I've said my lad is currently doing voluntary work at a Job Centre in Bristol helping people with little or no computer skills switch from Jobseekers to Universal Credit (and what a total dog's bollocks the government have made of that!) which is all done online. Anyway saw a young woman a couple of days back and he was helping her through and came to place of birth question and she answered Southmead which was a bit amusing it itself because that was the name of the hospital rather than Bristol which was the answer they wanted. Next question date of birth she said 12th June 1996; the strange part to it is that Josh was born in Southmead hospital on 11th June 1996.

Holiday, here for 3 nights then Sydney Brisbane Cairns for just over 3 weeks then 10 nights in Bali to recharge the batteries and chill out. Totally understand where your coming from Mark I can be quite up and down with my expressions and emotions even with my own family to the extent they think I’m moody or miserable, but sometimes I just go into myself and like a bit of solitude and space to be with my own thoughts, which if I’m honest I really enjoy it’s like a release and freedom from life’s everyday mundane things.

Cornish Steve Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 If anyone is interested, I've spent a little time tweaking the suite I composed a couple of years ago for two choirs, four soloists, and percussion. It's in six movements, each representing a different phase of our river, the Chattahoochee. The only words sung are the four syllables: Chat-ta-hoo-chee. I've added pictures in SoundCloud so you can appreciate each of these phases. The suite will be rather difficult to sing, and I don't have the contacts to convince local conductors to take the risk in attempting a work by a total unknown. Still, most of the fun came from writing it, hearing it in my head, and now hearing an approximation produced by the freebie composition program I used. Anyway, for anyone into classical music and with almost 27 minutes to spare, here's a link. (Not what you expected on an Everton football forum, I'm sure. ) MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
