Sorry to hear about all this. Your presence livens up this newsgroup.
Your knowledge of your subject is insightful. I think you would be a
useful guy on a desert island. I hope the medical side of things is
successful.


That has just made me think.

Would it not be interesting if the posters on here did their own Desert
Island Disc list for everyone to see?

I've been trying to work out how one could signal ones demise. I guess
most significant others have no interest or knowledge of Newsgroups.
Gaps in posts eventually lead to polite speculation as with TMH
recently.
Some sort of auto posting a revisable obituary? The trigger mechanism is
beyond my technical competence.

I too am on the prostate cancer watch list but no treatment deemed
necessary as yet.

Last one would be obvious - an angle grinder.

No - if it worked, it would no longer be a luxury item. ;-)

It would just be something you fondle as you drop off to sleep under the
stars...

Rather frustrating though, fondling something that doesn't work as you drop off to sleep.

Good idea.

I'll do mine after the weekend and start a new thread unless someone
does it before then.

I certainly know what my book and luxury item is.

Well in my case TMH would let you know as Lou would tell him (or maybe
Geoff from CETLtd).

In TMH's case I would let you know as his daughter would tell me.

Why not? But let's limit it to say just one film or one episode from a
series or maybe one of each.

Problem is powering it. Easy enough to have a pedal powered iPod but pedal
powered angle grinders are a bit thin on the ground.

It could work in the same way as the "magic" gramophone that the BBC had
to presuppose with the demise of 78s and wind up gramophones.

True but what I realy meant was that some music works better with a video.
Such as a-ha - Take On Me , as that was realsed and got no where until the video came out. Not that it'd be in my top 10 .

My list as said depends on how I feel and sometimes a strong track can take me back to how I felt the first time(s) I heard it.

A few I can think of at the moment

Echo and the bunnymen - The cutter
The Cure - The walk (with a picture of a fly)
Spizz Energi - Wheres Captain Kirk
Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead
Soft cell - Memorabilia & Martin
Suicide - Frankie Teardrop
