    A major loss to the BBC and a major gain for whoever he’s been talking to.
    The hate campaign (“Let’s Dial in to see what happens”) should have been ignored and dismissed by the BBC but it hurt Ross. The 4 genuine compaints should have been dealt with.
    Ross is humourous, intelligent, quick witted. All 3 of his Beeb shows are a hit. All 3 of his shows are of a different style (Radio, Chat show and Film critic) which shows his diversity.
    No doubt he will still be our TV as I don’t believe he is quitting Britain.

    Right, gorrit.

    I was thinking (Spaces or dots mean time [Multiple spaces are removed when posting!]): –
    1234, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1…….2……..3……..4.
    Indicating 4 different beat patterns which are repeated in the tune.

    For closure…

    Comets appear stationary in the sky. Movement can be seen on a day to day basis, or by a long viewing time.

    Meteors flash through the sky in a second, not usually more than 20% of the sky is passed by one. Most meteors entering the atmos. are about the size of a Golf ball.

    Fireballs are massive (1) meteors which last up to 20 seconds and are spectacular and colourful and sparkling. And scary, very scary when they are overhead as happened to me in 2008.

    (1) Up to the size of a house as they enter but burn down to a fist size by the time they impact, or burn to nowt.

    If you find a meteorite (Salt flats are a fave place) then keep it, as they are valuable to collectors (They pay Big bucks) and there could even be a diamond inside it.

    Of your many attributes, Old Shape, many of which I agree with, clearly economics is not one of them.

    In my Economics exam, as part of my Biz Studies degree, I got 72%. I was not so liberal in those days though.
    My same thoughts about the EU were put down in that exam.

    The other questions were on the CAP (How to keep French farmers farming by 16th century methods with 21st century wages) and the GATT (How to protect the west and stuff the developing nations with NTB’s and such.)
    North Sea Oil (How Britain pi55ed it all away instead of being one of the richest nations on the planet)
    Loved it. In fact I nearly quit Biz Studs to do Economics as a pure degree.

    If the protest does go ahead, the scum will be joined by the mis-informed anti-war posse. All wearing the masks etc.
    It’s the same posse that have several banners in the shed. Any excuse for an “Anti” where there may be trouble. Then they will blame the Police for being heavy handed, LoL.

    Believe me, saying this as a fairly serious and very experienced musician, you didn’t mean bar. 😉

    Paul

    Edumicate me.
    Bar versus Chord on a geetar.

    I will place my non-musician explanation: –
    Bar, number of beats in a timespan, until the same sequence is repeated.
    Chord, twang then twing then spang then spong…with a plink. Which is then repeated. (Sorry, the only G string I know is the one that you remove with your teeth).

    If you’re going to slag something off, it looks so much better if it looks like you speak from a position of knowledge rather than ignorance.

    Personally I would never dream of posting on a thread I knew nothing about.

    Jesus H Tapdancin Pizza-spinnin Christ!!!!
    I can’t write music but I know what sounds crap, I also know what is “Formula” music, pumping out the same dreary tosh to a dedicated bunch of fans who believe their heroes cannot do wrong. Easy money and good luck to the Quo.
    And, I actually DID mean Bar, a repetitive number of thuds (Can’t say beats to that tosh) in a segment of time. Quo used maybe 4 different repititions.

    At least they are actually GENUINE.
    These kids do exist etc. It’s the Social/dole fiddlers that should be boiling your urine, not the mis-educated pikey with a womb like a production line.
    More Social money is lost to the criminal activity than is paid out to “Lazy” parents.
