Brilliant move Dirge, but for goodness sake we have been trying to lern u you to be discreet and not give the codes away. After all we are paying you a pound a week and as much as you can eat. Learn from Sam - she says 'leave it behind the greenery' - Green Park you see and http://www.walks.com/SPIES__SPYCATCHERS_LONDON/default.aspx She cleverly takes up her feinted slingshot manoeuvre by sending us via K Olympia to the real spot, the tube nearest to "the spy, Kim Philby. who lived at No.18 Carlyle Square from 1944 before he defected to Moscow in 1963..." South Kensington Nothing is random here, or as Chris might say all is offside offside. He gave Einstein the formula! (see below**) : How many rings in the Olympic symbol? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Five How many spy films used Helsinki buildings and Metro to look like Moscow? How far is the Russian Trade Legation from Kentish Town tube? How far is Smiley's Hampstead Heath from that same station? http://www.bing.com/search?q=smiley+hampstead+heath&qs=n&form=QBRE&filt=all&pq=smiley%2520hampstead%2520heath&sc=0-9&sp=-1&sk= and the "Heath" links directly to the expulsion of 105 Soviet Spies in 1971 https://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/1960-to-1989.html (I see that website has an httpS: hmmmm ** What Chris gave Albert was E (espionage) = "mc2"= MC!

Things seem to be a bit sluggish, so I'll to get things moving with a sporting move to Earls Court which, if I remember correctly, was where the 1948 Olympics were held. I'll counter that with a hop-skip-and-jump to Oxford Street. (222B) Baker Street Due to the Rush Hour had to give up on the Tube and instead slipped on a pair of Oxford bRogues and slung Moriarty's Durham Palatinate around my neck.... What other way to hotfoot http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=chariots+of+fire+music&docid=1515647403349&mid=D4993844497F9E8DB20CD4993844497F9E8DB20C&FORM=VIRE3it over to check out What's On -- a peformance of Sherlock and the KGB(FSB) in the story of the Moscow Transmitting Rock http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/1438e7b4-42ab-11e1-97b1-00144feab49a.html You can see the actors here wearing inconspicuous Breeteesh clotheses. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6607249.stm) Now; the surveillance spies controlling/threatening us with Sam, Ms.....siles, will say one cannot have several moves via stations but this does not apply. The move can be done from any point in the world, including 222b, by heading in and out of the Black Hole at Moscow's Преображенская площадь station (Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad ). It's elementary my Dear What's On! well, if u believe Spookypedia - "In Christian teachings, the Transfiguration is a pivotal moment, and the setting on the mountain is presented as the point where human nature meets God: the meeting place for the temporal and the eternal, with Jesus himself as the connecting point, acting as the bridge between heaven and earth." I don't know what would be the view of those who use the Crescent as their point of reference:rolleyes:

And there was me thinkin' it was a seamless move fused as one by the current frost belt ranging from London to the Northern Continont. Right, pith King's X and Stratford aht the winder, and head from Camden for OlympicStadion, with an option to use your Telemark skis -- provided you don't slip and end up in the terveskeskus for a week with a plaster (cast) thrown around your head.

" " " !" " " I didn't understand it last year so 'ere I go again from Camden to King's Cross to OlumpicStadion or (you can opt for Stratford OlympicStoreStation overground). Overground is useful as in these 'ard times and after nicking some wallets en route I commend to you Sleary's tactic to get rid of potential opponents which Samantha may not already have done for: Sleary, in some haste, communicated the following hint, apart to Mr. Bounderby. 'I tell you what, Thquire. To thpeak plain to you, my opinion ith that you had better cut it thort, and drop it. They're a very good natur'd people, my people, but they're accuthtomed to be quick in their movementh; and if you don't act upon my advithe, I'm damned if I don't believe they'll pith you out o' winder.' Mr. Bounderby being restrained by this mild suggestion, Mr. Gradgrind found an opening for his eminently practical exposition of the subject. 'It is of no moment,' said he, 'whether this person is to be expected back at any time, or the contrary. He is gone away, and there is no present expectation of his return. That, I believe, is agreed on all hands.' And it means there'll be no bodies (for twoud be a naval funeral, pith'd out the winder into Stratford-atte-Bow canal and so no Mo rning (whoooooops.....) Wake, thus avoiding left over armada sherry, weevil-ham sandwiches and Xmas' stale ship's biscuit.

Very nice but I was so looking forward to instruments AND the sing-righter you put in the billing. So, what happened? Did Rabbie ring up on his mobile and cry off saying he was trapped in the snow and could not make it?!

That's a search here on cnet! much courtesy of Dirge just last month. :)

You comrades need to keep PC (politcally concertinaed)and up to date on these things.... or you could be heading for the cold wastes. I am sure I already alerted you to some Big Names two years ago and you have clearly forgotten. and you will see the influence of a box from the other side here ( Chinese infiltration perhaps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7oBv4LItNs&feature=related

I think you need to maximise your crutches activity by working up some double-floor-tapping percussion! There was actually a spoons & bones tutor at Waddow Folkus this weekend (beginners and intermediate!!) On the speed front I was trying to say something else I suppose. There is no way it should be sung as fast as Charlotte did it (she was younger then!). I always sing it slow...and as you say, the lyrics show the pace, just as Dirge played it. The great thing he did additionnaly was the way he handled that rising element (trill or whatever you want to call it!) -- I was talking about the pause he used - which neither Kiri nor Joan did. It wasn't whether they were singing faster or slower than Dirge's playing - it was Dirge's suspended suspense which was so goof! Try listening to the difference again maybe? In fact we discussed precisely this at Waddow on Saturday with reference to some other toons and The Last Rose. It just shows how one individual can bring something quite new to a melody which has been played and sung millions of times for a hundred years and more.

I 'd imagine Jodrell Bank would have about the highest speed connection available... I was playing one-up manship with a colleague in Bonn Max Planck Institute a few weeks ago (now they have scarily high connections!) We have 1000Mbps in some places (we send data straight from the telescope to Manchester and/or Europe). Desktops in offices may only get 100, but if noone else is using it, my office is capable of 1000 as well. - Note the "if" in there :-) There's also a bottleneck in Manchester that can drop the rate if you start sending terabytes of data through - which happens sometimes ps I get 2 or 3Mbps at home - and that's exactly what they said I would get . Yeah I noticed a lot of winos along the canal trunkroute in Mcr,tho mind you there were a few at The Baltic after the Lpool stealthfolk!! That said, it looks as though it something on my tiny portable where I work most of the time and which is causing the issue as the 4Gb desk machine and Toshiba lumplaptop are not afflicted = time to delete something somewhere

Wikipedia url is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Rose_of_Summer It ends up being called Irish, I think, mostly because of the text source even though the melody is ascribed to an Irish composer. The musical style is generally out of vogue now since we seem to have lost the ability to sing and play sentimental pieces without getting involved of with the musical excesses that the Riu version is full of. That version suffers from the same problems as "Celtic Women" and the later dance shows of Michael Flatley. We can differe on Rieu (that is a great whistle player - talk about bellows control!) And I deliberately avoided Celtic Woman - I totally agree with you it is rather ugh!. As for Flatley and the stiff, paroissal, upper body (it goes as far back as a cine film visual which I am familiar with of my cousin Irish dancing at a public peformance back in 1951! She and the others girls were all monitored/watched closely by nuns,clergy and Xtian Brothers...keep those hemlines down!

Sheet music easily found (free PDF download) here http://www.free-scor...ic.php?pdf=9298 This arrangement was the work of Friedrich von Flotow (good old Irish name that!!) A well-known Victorian operatic composer (at the time well-known, that is) of the German persuasion http://en.wikipedia....rich_von_Flotow He used it in his opera "Martha". It's not very exciting Irene. more or less as writ but I only saw your post 20 mins ago so don't expect much. You could play it on yours probably, it doesn't need much range. I started tinkering arround it and came up with what I thought sounded better fairly easily, but if you don't mind K I'd rather not. Londonderry Air I like; this is a bridge too far. Very nice, and not only that: I have not heard anyone, ever, give such depth to that trill ( very difficult on the harmonica even) half way through - your slowing it down, and pausing slightly before you climb back up, works not just well, but munificently!As Beethoven would have said, 'wunderbar'! Even Joan Sutherland did not handle the trill as well as you.... Nor you compatriote Kiri I don't believe there is a Ferrier recording. There is similar potential for that skill perhaps in this post 18 months ago (Rosamunda particularly - your box lends itself (and your fingerwiggies) really well to this slow material. http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=11586&st=36 Blimey. Thank you. Don;t thank me! Pat yourself on the pate and make sure you don't delete that recording. I know you hate the hobbits and Orc that goes with them but it is the pauses, particularly in the second part, in Concerning Hobbits which make great playing out of a simply great melody with so much meaning in it. Notice the (Irish!)meister switches flute for pipe http://www.encyclopedia.com/video/lZIDzoTAh8I-sir-james-galway-plays-lord.aspx

:rolleyes: it is Irish, may be traditional, old, modern: in fact everyone seems to have had a finger in this pie............look it up on wikipedia There is a Beethoven variation but cannot access scorer to see if a score http://www.unheardbeethoven.org/search/search.pl?piece=op105-04.mp3 btw anyone tried using this toon finder? http://www.musipedia.org/

Great sound.Tks J BTW Is it just cause we have been forced recently (in the UK) to change to talktalk (who bought Pipex) but in last month a lot of youtubes jump, so fingering views are hopeless. Or was this time delayed shots? Smooth enough from work (shhhh... don't tell) with a v. high speed connection. Bu tI think the fingers are moving faster than the frame rate at times! yeah, I suspect it's the old OFCOM complaint that our advertised "up to" 8MB rate is far from the reality. Mind you, you have the advantage of that ET alien pedalling faster (to order) to shift the dish around!

Well here's a boost for the McCann. Was trying to find out of Freud and or Moses played the concertina and, via the Freud Museum, it took me through 20thC London musuem hub to( scattered with 'folk') : http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/server.php?show=ConInformationRecord.516 and a quick pic summary from the Horniman http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/server.php?search_word=concertina&x=0&y=0&change=SearchResults&pp=10 And it seems Elmer Bernstein (music for The Ten Commandments and 200 other films) also seems (can't track a video, but maybe Leo can)to have had a Bandoneon in the theme music in the film The Age of Innocence. Another performance of this says: "performed by the Kurpfälzische Chamber Orchestra under Frank Zacher with pan flutist Ulrich Herkenhoff ... The original filmscore featured the bandoneón.."
