Currently sat at home ripping some CDs I've had a while, it's literally copy CD, Blow nose, wipe eyes, move copied music to USB, Blow nose, wipe eyes, insert new CD, Blow nose, wipe eyes, and repeat.
Sorry to hear that Bobbers but good you have incorporated it into an efficient workflow…psi310398 said:

I turn my back for two minutes and you're all in the wars. Get better. The lot of you. That's an order.
My phone wanted to change my 'That's an order' directive into 'That's an orderly' which is significantly different and more an observational thing. For example: "Who's that?" "That's an orderly."
Anyway, when I worked on a PC producing drawings, I had occasional bouts of vertigo. Horrible. But now I don't do all day every day concentrating at a workstation, I haven't had vertigo for quite a while. Sitting in front of the telly for hours on end doesn't have the same effect.
If vertigo sufferers could spend time away from their screens and report back any change in their condition we might be on to something.

kov.Sitting waiting in a fetching gown and paper pants. Surgeons attacked me with a large sharpie already.
Lots of pretty nurses been in to see me, the advantages of private.
Cook came around to offer me food for afterwards, what a selection although no wine for two days.
"My dear, the Langoustine À la Nage and Bronze Fennel followed by the Cornish Turbot ‘’Ton Sur Ton’’, would be spoilt without a decent dry white Burgundy, but I suppose doctors orders"
In reality I've picked a nice chefs prawn salad, yogurt and fruit, with orange juice and coffee, because apparently I have to keep it all down for two hours before they'll let me go home...

Is this to play in your BMW? What do you use, USB connection with a memory stick?EE have informed me that they can't possibly get a crew out to install or new fibre connection until 4 June at the earliest.
"Erm, honestly can't I just stick with the 50mb broadband at £29.99? You'd save a lot of money and trouble"
"If you want sir but it'll be £40... might as well stay with the 500mb fibre"
"Ok but you've got to send out a crew etc, "
"No thats fine sir"
"So with the delay, do you still offer the £20 compensation for not getting the speeds guarenteed...."
Slight pause, "yes but we haven't installed the service yet"
"But my new contract started last week, you've taken the first payment, you'll have taken the second before installation date..."
I'm going to be getting at least £40 off the next bill.....
All because they just wouldnt roll over the contract

It's a sort of folk/grunge/death metal kinda thing.
Excellent. I can imagine you thumping that out as you do yer handbrake turns in the local retail park until the bizzies turn up to move you on. 
I don't do handbrake turns!!!
I haven't mastered them yet......
TRIVIAL TURNS
The take up of the Doing Turns idea has been swift and is really heartwarming. So far we have me reciting The Lion and Albert to enthralled regulars in The Rat and Drainpipe while Bobbers practices handbrake turns in the pub's overspill car park.
Okay. Not swift and heartwarming. Just two turns so far.
But it's a start.

Ey-oop Trivs! 
Hasn't it been a splednid day?
Today I have walked like an Egyptian and covered a pharoah distance.
I don't do steps, but if I did, I'd do Claire, Faye and Lisa.
Lee and H can do one, they're not my type.
Byketta, I hope your op went well and you enjoy a swift recovery with your private prawns and pretty nurses.
Bobbers, I hope your ruddy doze is better soon.
D O'L, I hope your debilitating thingummyjiggerlurgy is rapidly vanquished. Sounds dreadful. GWS mate.
IOTN, I was trying to watch a phillum on TV, but there were no subtitles and I could only decipher about 20% of the complex dialogue, so I have capitulated, made myself a mug of hot chocolate and come to bed.
It's not such a bad end to the day, I suppose.
Just my tooth to brush in a bit...
