that's a great bit of info about the guitar sample, always wondered about that myself
but what's all the fuss about, most of their material was written by one Mrs. Jean Clapsaddle of Tacoma, Washington and was constructed entirely of samples, so

most of?
Who wrote the rest of it? |
a 72 year-old Papuan man named D'akuma
|
Did D'akuma ever work with Clapsaddle or did they always write separately?

They always worked independently because before GoogleTranslate the language barrier was insurmountable.
I believe D'Akuma actually played Gilmour's slide part on Mudmen, which is why, of course, it sounds so authentically Papuan.

This should help to keep it on page 1.
Has anybody got any biscuits?

A colleague has brought in a box of clotted cream shortbread at work. Quite tasty and I think there are enough left for tea break this morning.

I can beat that - I'm training for yet another job (a proper late-in-life career number, just watch my youthful enthusiasm win 'em over ) and in the shared fridge was... a packet of ASDA crabsticks...
Try dunking those in your tea, Mister
Actually I'm the only bloke in a training group of eight and have "palled up" with a rather good-looking upper-class rock chick in her mid-40s who reminds me a bit of the dark-haired Wilson sister from Heart. She's into Metallica and Van Halen and was most interested in my most visible tattoo (a crossed Strat and Les Paul against a Marshall amp with the legends Blackmore, Page, Gilmour and some non-prog guy called James Dean Bradfield (MSP) who i rate very highly in scrolls around the edges).
Today's module is practical First Aid (really) and I have never looked forward to a training day quite so much in my life |

Asda crabsticks??? I thought I was hard done by when I found out we only had those cheapo ginger nuts that have the consistency of bricks at our place.
As for your current situation - it sounds like one of those Paul Whitehouse 'Me? With my reputation?' sketches. You jammy git!

there's probably at least a thousand innuendos in that sentence.

We weren't allowed to do that 'cos I'm going to be working with some frail people and we mustn't run the risk of breaking their ribs.
It was slaps on the back only I'm afraid, no m-t-m (we're not officially allowed to do that either) but I did complain of a persistent groin strain. The response I elicited from said lady ("I'll have a look later")
prompted the instructor to adopt PA speak and told us to "get a room" 
I dunno how many of you guys are married/sorted here - I sure am, and I don't cheat - but... phew! And it's Manual Handling tomorrow....
And the kids on some other threads are always complaining they can't pull

Just goes to show that men like to be flattered from time to time too. Enjoy it while you've got it and stop complaining  (but no touching )
her: "You never said anything about my new hair-do/shoes/dress - I don't think you even notice me half the time"  him: "You never said anything about my new set of chrome-vanadium spanners."
