I've been reading (on the web) about Radio Caroline, the pirate radio featured in "The Ship that Rocked" released in the US as "Pirate Radio". Fascinating stuff, in many ways more exciting than the movie.
It is a story of a government obsessed with controlling what can be broadcast and a group who fought back. Walnut and sledgehammer stuff, rather than David and Goliath.

Sounds like an argument for some panic alarms.
There are a number of small devices (half the size of a cigarette pack) which scream loudly when a pin is pulled. They can be put into handbags so that if the bag is grabbed, the alarm goes off and the bag becomes an embarassment.
They're only about 10 bucks each.

This took a lot of work to put together!
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture..
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert..
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear..
19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig..
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this ...
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearingUP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so.......it is time to shut UP!

Long term memories are not encoded immediately, so if a trauma is suffered, it can interfere with the conversion from short to long term. It's not usually a symptom of damage, just an interruption in the coding process. Usually the memory loss is permanent, but in the case of incomplete conversion bits surface occasionally.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing OF and his lady on the 19th. Two very special people!
Mrs. and I tried very hard to find some red, white and blue patriotic panties to send to PF to use as the "PIR (Pixies in Residence) flag," but alas, none quite met the high standard we place on this noble symbol of Pixieland.
For me, it looks like on the 18th, I'll be taking some pre-surgery tests at the hospital here in anticipation of surgery on the 24th to remove the cancer nodule on my lung. The cancer is actually (and I may have said this before somewhere) a sneaky little set of cells from the colon cancer I had removed three years ago. The nodule is very small and the surgeon is an exceptional doctor that did my bypass surgery back in 2002. He indicated that there's about a 99.5% probability he can get it all and while removing this nodule, will try to assure no other suspicious activity is present.
Cancer was caught VERY early. The doctor's said that a small nodule would be considered any in the 0-3cm range. Mine is less than 1cm and probably could not have been detected much before now. That's good news.
Bad news is that I'll probably be gone from Pixies for the 3 or 4 days I'll be in the hospital; and, after I get home it may still be a bit before I'm up to sitting at the terminal and typing very much; but, hopefully that won't be that long.

Surgery has been pushed back to August 7th. Evidently the doctor or hospital had a problem and called. They wanted (at first) to move it up, but that just wasn't possible and so the date of August 7th was chosen. So, on the positive side, that gives me a couple more weeks at Pixies before I'll be gone for a little while. :thumbs:

Wish we were in Cleveland right now. :(
Anyway, looking forward to seeing OF and his lady on the 19th. Two very special people!
Mrs. and I tried very hard to find some red, white and blue patriotic panties to send to PF to use as the "PIR (Pixies in Residence) flag," but alas, none quite met the high standard we place on this noble symbol of Pixieland.
For me, it looks like on the 18th, I'll be taking some pre-surgery tests at the hospital here in anticipation of surgery on the 24th to remove the cancer nodule on my lung. The cancer is actually (and I may have said this before somewhere) a sneaky little set of cells from the colon cancer I had removed three years ago. The nodule is very small and the surgeon is an exceptional doctor that did my bypass surgery back in 2002. He indicated that there's about a 99.5% probability he can get it all and while removing this nodule, will try to assure no other suspicious activity is present.
Cancer was caught VERY early. The doctor's said that a small nodule would be considered any in the 0-3cm range. Mine is less than 1cm and probably could not have been detected much before now. That's good news.
Bad news is that I'll probably be gone from Pixies for the 3 or 4 days I'll be in the hospital; and, after I get home it may still be a bit before I'm up to sitting at the terminal and typing very much; but, hopefully that won't be that long.
:thumbs:
My thoughts will be very much with you DB. Sounds like you have some top-notch doctors looking after you, which has to be a good thing!! :D
