They say that melody is the gold of music. It's always a bit surprising to hear luverly melodies taken from rock or pop music and played on the piano or cello, etc.

Like, for example "Motorcycle Emptiness." Ain't it positively smashin' wot a few Welsh kids can come up with? Better than Debussy I say.

You got a nice melody or riff you would like to recommend, mister...? Before them punks in the corner slashes yer! Angry

The third part of that Austrian film trilogy is due on in fifteen minutes on ch4...I am (unfortunately) committed to watching it as I have seen the first two rotten films. They are basically about fat Austrian ladies seeking the meaning of life in a shallow way. I don't know how they got so fat as they don't eat cakes or chips or lard.

Vel, while I think of it - have you got a 'Magic Mat'?

If not, I really reckon you should get one.

It's the most brilliant cooking implement I've ever had - and I use it every single day.

I always WORRY Sad about Stoke, Tommy, in case they get relegated. So to ease the bad worry I take out an insurance policy. This year I got 20/1 Stoke to get relegated but they let me down badly with that performance against Citeh...let no man question my loyalty and general staunchness!!!! AngryAngry

You'll have to tell me what that is, Tommy -- I usually eat my dinner off a mouse mat.

They were FANTASTIC against Citeh, weren't they?!

The best all-round defensive performance I've probably ever seen.

Denis Smith was co-commenting on Radio Stoke and he was positively purring at the spectacle:
"Just look at that back four, it's like they're on a string. When it gets pulled, they all react in turn. It's just wonderful."

I cook my uncooked fish on it too - and pizzas, sausage rolls, you name it - they all get bunged on the Magic Mat!

Because you place it directly on the cooking shelf in the oven and because it has turned up corners, you can spin it around and lift it out without using a cloth - and because of the way it['s made the heat goes all around the food in the best way, so it cooks more quickly and thoroughly than using a baking tray.

I can't recommend the 'Magic Mat' highly enough.

It's the best invention of the 21st century!

Well, Tom - may I call you that? - it is part of a trilogy and the young  fat lady is the daughter of a fat mother. Her mother was featured in the first film, as a sex tourist in Kenya, looking for love with young Kenyan men, but certainly not Kip Keino. Have I mentioned that I once went bowling with a very close female relative of Kip Keino? Beautiful girl.

The Austrian ladies had oodles of cash and the mother was systematically conned by a young Kenyan lad. She gave money to his "sister" who turned out to be his wife...for the education of his child, etc. Call Me A Taxi warned her not to fall in love but she did anyhow...Plain...and...she was conned left, right and centre.

Presumably, the fat daughter was brought up without a father - hence, her attraction to the grey haired doctor with the erotic stethoscope. Basically, the three films were about ladies longing for love - maybe that's why they were MASSIVE chubsters. CryThey HUNGERED for love. Excited

By the way, Tom - are you, by any chance, related to Thom Yorke of Radiohead?
Report Tommy Toes • September 6, 2014 2:43 PM BST
Hahaha! Thanks for the précis, Vel. Beautifully explained.

I am not related to Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Well, not that I know of anyway.

Vel, I've just taken a look 'behind the red button' on BBC 5 radio and have seen that the Swedish film 'A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence' has just won the Golden Lion award for best film at the Venice Festival.

Sounds like one for viewing in the early hours on Ch4 sometime in the near future!
