Didn't see this one coming. Nice though:

They rolled it from Gdynia to Gdansk, saving a lot of man hours that way. Fact.

Was gonna say my 1988 Yamaha TX802 synth box and other similar items, but the thread taught me to think outside the module, so... My school days recorder and my ca. 1970 flute. Used the flute just a few days ago, so I think that counts.

So this deal will in fact pay for the remt...

You're lucky. I've done some more digging, and... her name is Gerald.

Story of my life. - What? Another 65-stop pipe organ? - No, love, just one that had some fret work done. Great craftsmanship! Fast turnaround!" - ...

I have to rectify something. In a now edited post I said Kaspersky were dodgy from the start. They may well have been, but I wouldn't know. See, I've just found out I was instead thinking of a Norwegian company with a similar Russian-sounding name. Sorry for any possible concerns.

Exactly, and that's where the concern lies. (BTW, I wrote encryption software myself and am too aware of what software developers can do.) Thanks for a good post though, and for the tip on the offline managers.

We will never reveal how we managed to film you through the thick stripe of insulation tape over your laptop's webcam. 😈 BTW the script thing seems to be a thing of the past due to better protection these days, but it might come back, so I routinely switch off any preview window. Password managers concern me though. My daughter swears by one and it's Russian. Who is to say it's not the Russian mafia acting as the good guys for some time before getting nasty? I don't know the answer to this, but don't take the (imagined) risk. As a result I have all my passwords (different for each site) in an encrypted file on a memory stick. There must be vulnerabilities in my approach too, but I feel I'm doing what I can.

Stop giggling at our expense even if that's on-topic! 😠

Always willing to help, but Steve was rather clear about the purpose of the thread, and as a classical musician, I'm not savvy in these things (I always bought an extra seat for my 65 stop pipe organ on one side and for the other organ on the other side, and that was that). That said, If there's anything I can do, @Steve Browning, just send me a PM. You could also have my mobile phone number just in case. Oh, and if you happen to be in the extreme South of Norway, then I'll buy you an extremely expensive beer! (not as expensive as the £15 pint I bought next to the Notre Dame - they should've burnt that café to get even, not the goddemn church!)

My BC-approved stage name Bergen aan Zee Mother India might to some degree explain ticket sales...

Sad news once again, and my condolences to his friends and family. At the same time I do have to ask: who are you guys talking about? I don't know a user John Green or similar, or a user Secret Police or similar. What was his user name on here?

That is just ultra cool. Love it. ( BTW, similarly, a band I was in has unexpected references everywhere one listens or reads. Just google "The Group" and be convinced. 😁 )

With you there. Have never done it and will never do it. The opposite for me. I'm not even remotely interested in anyone's signature if they're famous, but if a friend releases something and wants to give it to me and make it personal through a little text ("Happy birthday, Bert" or similar), then I'd appreciate. Ha! In the 80s, when I tended to play with some famous people, not because I was good but because I was available, I broke the ice a few times when saying hello the first time, by handing out deliberately shoddy pieces of paper with my signature on, and when they asked what that was, I shook my shoulders and said I thought they probably wanted my signature. Loud laughter followed. This was max ice-breaking deluxe coupé, but the second time already felt artificial, so I dropped it after that. Nice to remember that first time though. 🙂

Indeed it's what really happened. It was an older upright piano, but was built so its height was low. Thus the piano fitted in a Ford Sierra estate - just.

Yeah, indeed that seems to be the general idea permeating this endless line of threads. I appreciate the thinking, but can't agree. One look at the names of the most successful bands seems enough. I was in a band called The Group. Awful name, for sure, but they/we got to record two albums, and the band was highly appreciated by its natural audience if not the pop station listeners. BTW, just to be sure: I'm of course not propagating the idea that one should use 0.0117 seconds on finding a band name.

Oh, and: The cOvertones (I hate that one, so it's probably good).

Boring Suburban Mum. A Plethora of Good Ideas Performed Badly. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict (just kidding!) Reverend Bell-end. Evidence Is Not Proof. Gharzoch Glawyth Bow Before Your Underlord. How Hard Can It Be? That last one is a band name proposal, BTW, coz really: how hard can it be? I used exactly 0.0117 seconds coming up with these, and used several minutes trying to grasp how it is possible for people to struggle with band names. I'd seriously be happy to be enlightened in this, BTW, coz I do see I might be missing something here.

Kevazingo5 of course.

Ah, but then that is a reasonable answer to a not unreasonable question. Point in case: When we bought a piano, we were offered transportation by the shop, but I said: "No thanks, I'll just take it in the Sierra", and I did. (Yes: short strings.)

I'm shocked! Name calling like this? I think you should've realised he's ye big slim spammer now!

Well thank you, Carl! Or should I call you Bobby, or Robert or Frank or Johannes or Simon or any of the hundreds of other names that are used in conjunction with your photo? BTW, I saw most of your testimonies on ze innerwebz. Congratulations with reaching a weight loss of more than 80 kg! Maybe I shouldn't mention your successful penis operation which added a whopping two inches to your length! Congrats! I imagine you're very proud of having a 2" penis now! Oh, and welcome to BC!

YT comment: "Before it was damaged - the classroom uke was worth $1.50. After Pete smashed it - $1700!" 😂

You evil, evil man! 😄
