    It's full of trolls. That's the problem.


    Just a handfull. But they make a lot of noise.

    Another reason I'm hesitant to leave is that I won't give these 'cretins' - as Tim aptly called them - the pleasure!
    I am extremely serious.

    What's annoying me currently.... let me see... apart from my throat (which by the way is a bit better) what really really really annoys me is being in a constant fighting mode with my boyfriend. It's one of these periods... As my handsome brother says: "Breathe and reboot baby girl, just breathe and reboot..."


    Sorry to hear that. It's been ages since I was in a relationship, so the quarrels are faded memories. But I do remember kissing and making up again. Hopefully, that'll happen to you too. smile

    Is it something physio can fix Alan?

    I've no idea. I think it's still too early to go to the docs. I'll give it over the weekend to improve. If it is still like this then I'll seek help.


    It may be nothing more than a trapped nerve ( painful though it is ) in which case physio will fix it. Let us know how things go.

    Still suffering with this backache. I was at the doctor yesterday and she gave me some strong NSAIDs for the time being and I went for an X-ray. Results back in 7-10 days. After doing a bit more reading round I'm now favouring a herniated disc rather than a bruised coccyx. Hopefully, the X-ray will help to diagnose the problem or point to where to go next. If it is a herniated disc that can take anything up to 6 weeks to sort itself out.

    I'm getting old - it's official.

    Although the X-ray didn't show any bone or joint degeneration there's a bit of disc degeneration that's to be expected as a result of normal wear and tear. Doc just wants to get some bloods done as there's a bit of calcification showing up. She's not worried but wants to rule everything out.

    I might start weaning myself off the NSAIDs so will move from 400mg to 200mg for the next couple of days and then come off them completely.

    I just downloaded a soundtrack Cool Dog and there seems to be no support. I can't burn it to a CD nor listen to it on Windows Media. I thought MPEG4's were compatible????

    I love those electronic noodlings! That said Jerry Goldsmith is a man not God, though a quite extraordinary man. Morricone on the other hand is the Almighty. <- this has been scientifically proven

    Morricone is a genius - the only film composer for whom I use that word. Goldsmith came close, but there's just a bit too much of an impression of him being motivated by money rather than artistic greatness after the mid-80s (can't really explain him scoring a film like Link otherwise).

    I agree with you James though I would say that many composers ( not much now ) have had moments of genius.

    When I say Morricone is the only one I'd label as a genius, it's because (for me) there's just a certain something there which I think goes beyond having exceptional technique. To sit down at a desk, with a piece of manuscript paper, and a few hours later emerge with "The Ecstasy of Gold" or "On Earth As It Is In Heaven" - it blows my mind that a man could do that. With the other truly great film composers - like Korngold and Rozsa, for sure, and Goldsmith and Williams and the rest - it's all about exceptional technique, I think.

    More than technique with Rozsa!!! His themes are incredible and then how he is able to develop them.

    QFT

    Most composers compose by the piano, so that he can just sit at a desk and write out the entire thing is very impressive. He's also famous for coming up with great themes in minutes. It's all too easy for the guy.

    I worship Rozsa, Williams and Goldsmith too, but Morricone is the only genius in my mind.

    For film music perhaps but as an all around composer no. I would take Rozsa and Vaughan Williams in a heartbeat.

  3. Today everything is annoying me!

    But in particular, I need to go out in a couple of hours and checking the car was starting okay (it's been off the road for several weeks) and I've found that the brakes have rusted up. The car just won't shift at all.

    crazy

    No one is answering phone calls/texts when I'm trying to sort something out.

    F**K!

    I find that falling is to be avoided at any time of life wink Unless you're a paratrooper or a clown.
