I just had a laugh, whilst searching for that piece of music I came across "Wintergatan" a machine using 2000 marbles to make a tune.

I knew someone who managed to run over her cat (it was asleep under the car in the drive). She panicked and went into reverse and managed to run over it again. For some reason, although deeply upset about the cat, it seemed rather funny - doing something really bad and then making it worse unintentionally.

I don't think I've ever knowingly run over anything.

A cat ran under my car once, I saw it and felt it. I was able to stop straight away and tried to find it under the car, near the road, I searched everywhere nearby and had to conclude that it had run off only losing one of it's 9 lives.

Soundhound app.

May be the Armonica, an instrument invented by Benjamin Franklin, made of glass bowls turning on an axle with a small well of water beneath, each bowl being tuned to create a note on the scale, so you can play it like a piano.

They appear to have run aground. I shall put on my long coat, breeches, and ruffled shirt, and cannonade them.

Does anyone know how to find out what a piece of instrumental music is when you don't know what it is called. It had been used as backing for adverts and on Top Gear, it sounds as though it is made by rubbing fingers around the rim of a glass.

A couple of Mozart pieces. It is said Mezmer liked the glass armonica for his sessions with patients.

It's alright - they're not holidaying in Buckinghamshire.... they're going somewhere a little more civilised.

Oi, I grew up there.


Actually, you might be right, as you were.

I am going to the grand opening of a store that charges $5 and less for everything. A lot more and better selection than a dollar store. This could get interesting.

 

[Gravity Aided]

How much you taking with you? $10 or $20?

I don't know, as the sporting goods store next door to the 5 Below will open next week, and I want to save some money for that. I don't spend a lot at these places. If I see something I like, I know they'll be there next week.
