Lovely thread Carpy.... Faure - Requiem That's an absolute blinder - right on the money for my ear at the moment. Wow! :)

Thanks, iuventus - always loved that in The Hunger but never knew what it was. Now I do - excellent! Lacrimosa, as posted earlier was in the TV Hannibal, amongst plenty of other great choices......

How do you feel today?
Hope you don't mind - have copied that over to the shiny new classical thread as it had such good stuff in it!

A great post from iuventus in another thread a short time ago:- I have the whole collection of Cello Suites by Rostrapovich on CD. As much as I love the dark and eerie, I have a tender spot for the light and inspiring. Hence, my favorite suite is t…

Super! Nature Notes
I was very pleased with this taken at high-speed, mid flap. I love being able to see the organisation of the wing structure fanned out like that......:- I call them a "con-duck-tor" :D

I remember in 1) above they kept changing their large avatar to pictures of cancer or autopsies etc and even singled out a certain beloved members daughter for some truly terrible comments. Yeah, that makes me feel a bit sick even this many years …

Lost you a bit there? This threads been running since June 19th and I'd imagine they'd been reading since when first opened at the very least but have had to clear things before actioning anything? If your email gave them a final push to…

That's a rather nice version - don't mind a bit of Neil Young. Spookily, I'm sure you'll see why, I was just cranking this out:- Hadn't heard it before and more than a little mesmerised. Had never clicked with Bach much …

It seems ridiculous but now we have the rights to do stuff I'd prefer it if we hardly have to. That would be ideal all round. I'll caveat spam, though. There's no mercy there.

Television....
As a school teacher, it's difficult for me to set aside a specific time during the week to watch a specific show. Nor do I have cable or a satellite dish, let alone DVR-TiVo capabilities; so, tv series fandom becomes a problem for me. Hmmm, t…

Nah, I'm all for the originator having the option to delete his or her thread. I was reflecting more on the voting-threads-out motion. True - too easy for the many to vote down the few. The whole voting thing is a bit of a red-herring across …

Latest Hannibal. Eight episodes in and still the best new American series for quite some time. To these eyes it's not put a foot wrong yet. I have to catch up--as in from the beginning--on this one. Even my mother's pushing me to watc…

Yet everyone has the option to open all threads on the board--or none if they so choose. Why should anyone be denied the option read and post in those very threads? Exactly why I asked if people even want the ability to have a thread deleted at all…

Have you guys been given any guidance from deer? Nah, not at all - we have very few options to play with so not so hard to pick that up. Just really working out where we can help - and where we might hinder - if we use them, hence all the question…

The problem with locking threads is that it can be seen as judging for others when they've stopped the conversation. That's a tough call by anybody's measure.

what, would you say is fair use of the flag? Hmmm. Good point. Worth a thought or six!

Hmm, I'd say the move to delete a thread needs to be put forward by the originator, no? Yeah, that was my thinking too as it stops people trying to get somebody else's thread removed just because they don't personally like it. My m…

Typos too? Blimey, I'm not having a good few mins here! I'll just pretend the J was being pronounced as a "ye". Nobody will notice :-S

House rules, tweety? 1) Don't be crappy to others. 2) Virtual cake all round. It's just over there - look! 3) Spam should stay in the can in was supplied in. I'd honestly hope those three could/would/should cover anything (especia…

Here's an idea - feedback requested whether positive & negative but hopefully polite! 1) If a person wants a thread they've created to be deleted (I've seen that mentioned/requested in a couple of places) they could rename the ti…
