THe rest os much more accessible, but very rewarding. Basically, you can split his career into the ECM years and the Geffen years. I don't have all of his albums yet, but if you enjoy a mix of world music, jazz, classical, ambient, etc..., you'll like "Secret Story." I don't prefer one phase over another, but "Bright Size Life" is worth checking out from the ECM years (also his first solo album).

I'm popping round your house tomorrow p-c to steal your Pat Metheny albums, so watch out!

Yes, that happens to us all.

It also tends to happen when you're in a rush to go out.  You spill something down your front, so then you have change your shirt.  This is especially annoying if you're trying to impress someone and you wanted to wear a particular shirt for a reason.

Frustrating!

Rant:

That annoying blonde woman who is on television far too much!  That Interior Decorator woman who does DFS and B&Q (I think) adverts.

She's very irritating!

I'll give them back!

Sounds like your a bit protective of your CD collection PC

Too right, I'm protective of mine as well.  I leant out one CD and got it back within a week, not sure why!

I own 4 vinyls (all of which I bought and none of which are prog-chick's!) and have access to a turntable, but I rarely play the vinyls, even though on of them is a favourite album of mine that I do not have on CD.

Oh and I want to be on that 'plane with you, because not once did anyone air guitar or twitch whilst on the 'plane listening to music.  I wanted to, but I stopped myself.

On the coach I was freaking out to Gov't Mule, but that coach was filled with just friends.

Is there an art to sit dancing?  Pray do tell!

my rant today involves learner drivers.........especially those on motor bikes.

I bet you are all thinking........."yeah...what a nuisance they are!"

Well, here is the rub.
i have a gorgeous scooter, it's a125cc bike, and has got a good amount of acceleration for a scoot!
I got my CBT (compulsary basic training certificate) just 2 months ago, but because I am on the wrong side of 30, a mum, and thereore a girl.........I am cautious, sensible, and eager to do things right....
I couldn't put it off any longer I HAD to go into Swindon today.........on Bertie (the bike) it's I dunno, 5 miles............there, and 5 miles back. Swindon for those of you who havn't had the pleasure, must have had too much road maintenance budget at some point, and therefore splurged the lot on roundabouts and traffic lights.............it is VERY easy to get lost. I attempted this trip last week..........three times around the labyrinth of one way system and I gave up and came home............today I was determined!
so ...........here it comes..........
why, why, why do (car) drivers feel the need to beep their horns so much? I got beeped about SIX times, I was lost and I went over the "magic roundabout" 3 times!......I could NOT get into the town centre at all!
I didn't switch lanes at all, do car drivers get some kind of perverse joy out of turning a girl on a scooter into a nervous wreck???
The last beep (accompanied by hand gestures and swearing) was due to me being in the wrong lane at a roundabout (I think!) but it was a small roundabout, and we were the only two vehicles on it.........so I didn't think beeping/swearing etc was really necessary! (I thought I was going to throw up in my crash helmet I was so scared!) and yes his car was bedecked in LOTS of England flags..........

Next time you are out in your cars folks remember "L" plates mean we are LEARNING........remember we slow down in the wet, and on sharp blind corners....remember we havn't got 'walls' but we have got feelings!
A 10 mile round trip................TWO HOURS!!!

shheeesh! I need a lay down!


^ha ha ha @ Geck0...........I did a similar thing recently! stoopid blinkin screensaver!!!!
