any one heard from al yet?

As I said earlier.....

Right - I've now heard from Al. He is fine but has been very busy. Phew!

[ganderbox]

Dough, surely? 

 

Flour can lead to all sorts of things.

I think I'll stick with pancakes.
Using coloured flour, though.....now there's a thought.

Do you realise that if you put multiple Als in cars and asked them to reverse, they would go La, La, La?

[No Strings Attached]

How do you make pancakes using a melodeon ?  Mines gone horribly wrong

Coloured flour pancakes + Teletubby style coloured custard = hyperactive melodeonists. Try keeping up with that Shrove Tuesday session.

[Ebor_fiddler]

Don't worry lad! I'm still waiting for mine to arrive in the post. I think they're awarded manually, or once a year (in Balham!).  :'(

None-just get a job advertising fish fingers....

Eh lad, art thee a toothbrush expert too?

I'm the musician they were saving up for.

[Ebor_fiddler]

I id not understand either of them.

[Bill the Farmer]

I don't think anyone does. I gave up on this thread some while ago. Perhaps we ought to have a sensible one?

Correction: they would go slA, slA, slA!

Is this intended to induce a bout of solipsism in the reader? If I give up on this thread, then why do I read it? If I read it and reply, saying that I've given up on it, have I given up on it? Or am I truly giving up....but then do I read the response, and if so, do I consider that response? Am I then not "not giving up", or am I confirming my "not-giving-up-ness"?

HELP! Thank goodness Al's back....maybe his retreat will provide some solutions to this....

I'm at work on this conundrum already. Suffice to say that this problem is not as complex as it first appears. It reminds me of an argument on the meaning of words and whether a word is representative of or merely a descriptive of a form, that took place between St. Augustine of Hippo and his pagan adversary Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius in 5th Century North Africa ... it was a fascinating discussion. I think they agreed to settle the issue by a deciding contest of ping-pong (first to 11 I believe). Of course, Augustine won by using a now illegal bat which he'd hewn from the left mandible of a Mesopotamian rock elephant...

Answer: Why not do what I do for Lent? Give up giving up!

God Bless

Much too philosophical for me.

Is this anything to do with Ocam's razor?

Guess that's why I've got a beard.

[HallelujahAl]

Not at all - Occam's razor is all about lex parsimoniae better known as the law of succinctness. Something which this thread seems to be upholding very well I think...

Talking of razors, I've grown a beard in the vague hope that it'll improve my playing. I figure that if I look like an old folkie I might sound like one..it's kind of what Macrobius was saying about words. Crikey, I'm not drifting this thread very well am I?

That was just a clever photographic trick. The melodeon was the right way up....Danny Baker was upside down...
