Your Hi-Techs started to squeek?

Probably but I was too hungry to notice.  Almost broke into a run as I approached the Wrap-It-Up.

Have you ever been to Tamada by the way?  Georgian restaurant off Abbey Road.  Went there for my birthday and found no reason to complain.

I'm not really a London person. Occasionally Putney or Clapham to see mates or Lords for the cricket.

If Georgian food is anything like Estonian fayre I may give it a miss.

if only that were true, Rats

It was a link to the popular 60's Rock/pop combo "The Byrds" covering the Bob Dylan Classic "Mr Tambourine Man"

Had a sinking feeling in the guts when I read the first line.

Good call on the Byrds, would possibly have got to a them eventually when my brain had ground its way in that direction, probably sometime this evening.

Nice of you to offer some hope, Galted, but lets be realistic here. The 'pede is dead.

It's a distressing image for me, I won't lie.

rick_dagless wrote:Maybe thats how the centipede got to indonesia to bite that mans leg off Galted?

It's all becoming clear now.  The centipede never bit the man's leg but was dropped from a great height and landed on his head while he was using a circular saw to make a bird table.

Sods law isn't it, the morning I am too busy to get on here a discussion of music breaks out, not only music, but music I actually like.

I am refusing to post on here now as people are taking the p*ss out of centipedes.

think discussion is overplaying it a bit Jeff, more of a mention i feel..

All depends where you set the bar Rick, by the standards of this thread I am content with calling it a discussion.

Please don't go, Tino. Here's a happy centipede to cheer you up.



Michaels drew it on the etch-a-sketch especially for you.

Take the wins where you can Jeff, especially when the followin posts are recitfying emotional harm caused by Scolopendra abuse

Jeff doesn't give a sh*t about insects. He cares about as much as you and Galted do.

I thought that Galted's centipeded (Copyright seanmichaels) would do a lot more for a public insect love and awareness campaign than some legless Indonseian with a sad face

At least I am honest in my complete lack of interest in the subject Tina. Whilst you may not agree with my crushing indifference surely my honesty is admirable.

I begrudgingly concede that point, Jeff.

It just saddens me that you're so uninterested in them.

What's the difference between a butterfly and a moth?

That's an actual question, not a lead in to a joke.

Dagless is fast becoming the 606 v2 Voice of Culture. He should be made a mod in case it ever kicks off between Rowley and Julius.

Dunno.

He is a Man of the North, you do realise that?

JuliusHMarx wrote:What's the difference between a butterfly and a moth?

I'll tentatively suggest that moths are nocturnal and butterflies diurnal.

Butterflies and moths have many things in common, mainly scales that cover their bodies and wings. These scales are actually modified hairs. Butterflies and moths belong to the order Lepidoptera (from the Greek lepis meaning scale and pteron meaning wing).

I read once that some butterflies are nocturnal and some moths are diurnal.

seanmichaels wrote:Butterflies and moths have many things in common

You don't say, never noticed it myself.
You don't happen to know the difference between them do you?

Yes. Butterflies have long thin antennae with bulbs on top, Moths have feathery saw-like antennae.

Hopefully he can be a Professor Higgins-like figure to inspire culture within the northern rabble that seem to congregate on these threads.

According to wiki -

Rhopalocera and Heterocera are non-standard divisions in the taxonomy of Lepidopterans, used in an attempt to formalize the popular distinction between butterflies and moths.

This nomenclature is not scientifically accepted because while the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, which comprise the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not.

Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidotera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.

No wonder people lose interest in this stuff. I withdraw the question.

Enough impressive words in there to keep Tino going for a while.

I think I'll upset Jeff now and say that Blackberry Way is a better song than Waterloo Sunset.

Not sure even the most ardent diplomat could sort that one out Galted, just give them some inflatable sumo suits and pugil stick see what happens.

But the combined mass of the combination of the 2 would make for a mean gravitational pull...

Got to help in Gladiator themed battles...

Why would the fact you're a moron upset me?

As an aside though another Move song, Flowers in the Rain was the first song ever played on Radio One.

true story, though slightly ruined (i believe) by the fact that it was Tony Blackburn who played it...

Though he is "Yew Tree Free" which is quite a thing i guess...

That could and should have been posted on me remarkably unpopular Music anecdotes thread....

Once hired an electrician called Roy Wood. Wasn't Roy Wood of "The Move" and "Wizard" fame, but still think that counts as a rock-n-roll anecdote to add to my others.

Sean, if the thread had been called useless music trivia it almost certainly would have been. I have any number of such facts I could amaze you good people with.

Hit me.

I'm not sure if this is libellous and or remotely true, but it is sort of a music anecdote. I had it on fairly good authority that whilst Alexa Chung was copping off with Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys), she was also getting 'kicks' from possibly the most famous footballer the UK has produced.

A unnamed source told me that even though Rachel Weisz is married to James Bond, she has been receiving a length from a neighbour of hers.
