Yeah but it is US Spelling, which isn't English.
Oh it's English alright.......we just love to butcher the hell out of it. (Might add you Aussies do a damn fine job too!)

I'm the complete opposite 
I have plenty to say, but not worth hearing :sigh: all jokes aside you could always do what I actually did, and when I found my record collecting getting out of hand a few years ago $120 a week spend up on records, I needed something to distract me and it was learning the guitar....and it worked I'm good :yes: I play the acoustic on a Yamaha and play stuff I like to listen to like "Over The Hills and Far Away" give it a shot, it is truly well worth the effort. :thmbsp:

I do play. I have a little APX500 that I play, but I really should do it more often.
I have spent the last few weeks clearing out my record collection, about 400 LP's checked and boxed, some went to charity shops and some on freecycle so I'm down to a more manageable sized collection now, just the cleaning to take care of.

Hey that's cool, it is hard to make time to play and even learn. I have a piano I bought two years ago and tried learning all kinds of really awesome songs especially New York State Of Mind, love that intro, but for a beginner pretty hard stuff.
Plenty of empty lineups that make avoiding surf contests no problem. :thmbsp: :thmbsp:
Not a lot about speechlessness in there.

Not sure where that resistance stems from, perhaps industry bucking the cost of retooling and all that sort of thing. Yet here we are decades later and most of us grunts have two sets of wrenches in our tool boxes and our manufacturers are a mish-mosh of both systems.
And here I sit at five in the morning looking at Wikipedia entries of Aussie slang. (Is that taking the piss? Did I get that right?
)Maybe I should take a cue from the OP and just go listen to my music. :yes:
Peace, y'all.

I posted a thread on what is probably the best piss take on Australia that I've ever seen. It is by a bunch of Indians who obviously have lived here for a while and have absolutely nailed Aussie culture(or as we put it: 'kulcha'),

Barry McKenzie would feel right at home with that lot.

Yup! The real difference is that when "God Save The Queen" is played we Americans make a decision whether to rise of not. True colonials don't think you just rise.
We Canadians NEVER play God Save The Queen. We have our own national anthem, Oh Canada, which we also never play except at sports events where we are playing American teams only because they insist on playing their own militaristic anthem (what else) with hands held over hearts. They all look like they might have a touch of indigestion.

This thread reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Costanza is trying to sell to some TV executives a pilot for a show about nothing......

I have little to add.

I just now learned this fact about God Save The Queen(King):
"12. The unofficial national anthem of the German Empire until 1918, 'Heil dir im Siegerkranz', had the same tune as the British national anthem, 'God Save The Queen'."

This thread reminds me of one of the many times that Sir Winston Churchill upset the British calm by making a certain utterance. The Londen Times had a front page item with the caption: "We're speechless".
Retorted the worthy Sir Winston: "The Times is speechless, and takes four columns to express its speechlessness."
Not desiring to disturb the (commendable) tranquility set by the OP, but:
Hey?? Unless you mean that you do not own a record player .....

Please explain further. I feel I may have missed a previous audio epiphany-discussion involving signal path, clothing, and/or sound quality.
