mc5 - Little pleasures

gil

I finally watched your video, and admired the progress from uncertainty to confidence to pushing the limits. Occasional squeaks of wheelspin, and the casual enquiry "Anyone ever spin out?", followed by serious attempts to do so.

Stevie

It was a lorra-lorra fun. I recommend it to all.

Raak

A 60 Mb fibre connection. Click — web page appears! Click — video plays! 100MB uploads to Dropbox in seconds!

Phil

[Raak] Grrrrrrr! Still, I get fresh air and no traffic instead.

Raak

[Phil] I have those as well. :)

Phil

[Raak] Hmmm, I have no chance of anything over 3Mb for the next decade as far as I can tell. Unless I move house.

Stevie

The sound of a Mellotron's "orchestral strings" voice. Sounds nothing like strings but is entirely wonderful when done right.

Stevie

I think it was actually called "Three Strings", but I never had the knobs under the Steviemitts so I can't say for sure.

Simons Mith

Training interested student(s)

Raak

Chunky knit leggings.

Stevie

Hidden text

Dear god, I have a picture wedged firmly in my brain now that will not come out no matter what I do.

Stevie

Flicking a dead Christmas tree light and being rewarded by having the whole string burst into glorious life.

Raak

Brandy butter

Phil

Bing Crosby's singing voice

Stevie

Hess Trucks.

Moom

Correcting somebody who just said "pedanticism"

Stevie

[Moom] But that just makes one sound like a pedanticismist, doesn't it?

Dujon

Awakening in the dawn's coming light to the sound of Kookaburras, Noisy Miners, Butcher Birds, Wrens and their avian friends having a chat about their breakfast menu.

Moom

The relief experienced on finding a legitimate receipt for the dodgy-looking transaction on one's bank statement after a brief panic. [Stevie] And proud of it.
