When the alarm goes off, the tyre spins round and makes a noise like a racing car revving and then screeching to a halt. You switch it off by moving the gear lever to neutral

A postcard has arrived at our house this morning. It's a bit delayed, but has obviously been delivered as a result of the Royal Mail clearing their backlog.
It's addressed to the people who occupied the house at the time it was posted....in 1978.
It has a comment on it "We will probably arrive back before this card does". An uncannily accurate prophecy as it turns out.

That's great Skylark! My brother would love one, where did you buy it? (I'm not sure that his wife will love it quite so much - but I'm willing to risk it.)

In the contrast to all the other variables in music its funny how music is bound by time signatures. 4/4 for example...Isn't it like the equivilant of making paper only rectangle?..for drawing and painting I mean.

Well. Basically! there must have once been a time me when music didnt have time signatures and somewhere along the timeline people were writing music and for some reason 4 beats in a bar stuck, so did 3 beats but less so and so on. I just thought it was strange that the 2 main things that make up music pitch and time have so much freedome but the number of beats in a bar doesnt change much at all.

Tidy today - so what can I post?

I refer to my kitten
Who stole my lamb chops.
She is not metaphysical
Not in my head
And the chops and the mouse are still under my bed.

The flats form two neat rows though.....and so could the sharps if the A was positioned higher on the treble, bass and alto clefs......

Just come back from a quiz night where my team, the 'B Sharps', came 2nd!
HUZZAH!
The fact that we had the Large Brains of Willard and Mrs Willard on the team was a great help...
PS Argh, Willard, they never gave us the Natural History answers! Anyone know the collective noun for a group of hedgehogs???

Strangely, I cannot find a collective noun for hodgehegs at all
perhaps because it was a cruel Sat. (sorry, wrong thread !). However your dad was writing down the questions wasn't he ? Just PM them over and with the help of Mr. Google we might be able to avoid lying awake at night worrying about the answers !
