I thought Erudite was a mineral, in series with Araldite, Bakelite, Bensonite, Cummingtonite, and Samsonite.

And also Armalite (used in the manufacture of Highland bagpipes), and Flora lite...

and then there's; Marmite and Vegemite, which kids use as a spread on bread
though Masonite is used as a hardboard underlay
and Carlton-Lite is a very popular BEER (used to be 3%A/V but has been lowered to 2.8%) drank by many  drink
(noticed that the banana benders up north, still cannot spell Beer..  they still put xxxx on their cans)

nite.. nite....

Make my coffee by the 'Vacuum Method'.

Does that count as training to become an astronaut?

Though I seem to recall that in the Sunshine State (or Jo's Police state as it was when I first arrived) said Carlton Lite (they can't spell in the South either) was referred to as 'love on the beach' - ****ing near water! Shocked

I did my apprenticeship with the Board of Trade in Bletchley Park in the 70's before it was revealed its role in the war.

Another masterful performance Rees, not only F#4 but Gb4 on the piano as well.
I am lucky to be allowed to post with such talent contributing to this board.

Oh! The shame!

Failed to notice that Rees was also playing the Enat4## and Ab4bb piano keys as well and at Philharmonic Pitch.

Very sorry.

Hope it was not that awfully expensive and painful reed canal work you had done by Theo. Especially when he tries to rivet when a red hot soldering iron won't work Grin Grin
Some melodeon (with Pete Coe whipping his pupils with a soft lash) coming up for folk to get their teeth in to.... uploading some tonight from Folkus training weekend at Waddow - mixed (bot good) bag of whistles and fiddles and guitars and bodhrans .....and lots of melodeons around too.

no time for captions yet  so you will have to search
insightandmind
on youtube... and  they will be the most recent uncaptioned files

Is Pete any relation to Tony Coe?

If so, is he played by Rees?
