Sort of like with the Sheep wool remover incident a few days back I did not know that the above posting would be in violation of Shed guidelines.  It seems that I put you all in a fowl mood.Wink

I was actually watching Jay Leno last night when he talked about that chicken, and since it was British and all I thought it might get a chuckle here.  When I googled the chicken that was the first article that came up.  (that sounded kind of dirty; it isn't going to be censured is it?).

Do you find that teenagers regularly 'congregate' within close proximity to your personal space?
 
Do you quietly wish to yourself that they would 'congregate' somewhere else, but feel it impolite to ask?
 
Well, extensive clinical tests (Ok, hostel based tests) have been carried out over the past 6 months by a team of experts (Ok, me to be precise...Embarrassed) and an answer has been found.....Approve
 
You need to invest in a copy of this:
 
Bach%20-%20Goldberg%20Variations
 
 
It has been well documented that most teens have an in-built, emotional aversion to most classical music, however the musical structure, tone-colour and (apparently) repetitive nature of the Goldberg Variations induces an immediate stimulous of nausea and irritation, causing imminant dispersal.
 
While Mr Erg prefers a slightly different version to guarantee his own personal space:
 
Bach%20-%20Goldberg%20Variations%20%281955%29
 
I would stick by the 'Jando' version as being especially irksome...Thumbs%20Up
 
So, just press 'play', sit back and watch the crowds mutter, groan and disperse within about 60 seconds....Clap
 
 
(Of course, every remedy has a side effect.  In this case, you will find over-enthusiastic, talkative, reminiscing septagenarians taking their place....Confused)

Why would I need to find it when I knew it existed?

He's my favourite keyboard player. Wink

Alas, I have yet to hear his version of The Goldberg Variations. Ouch

At Vauxhall tube station in South London classical music is played over the PA system, I believe for exactly that reason.

Well, it beats "mind the gap" and "we are currently experiencing delays on the District line due to a signal failure at Earls Court".

"We apologise for the late arrival of Joseph Suk's Asrael symphony on platform 4; this is due to a viola shortage at Didcot Parkway.

In the meantime, here's the latest Robbie Williams album."
