Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

anyway, I love to play the piano... I love to sing... and I LOVE this tune but I don't want to continue wasting my time if that's what I'm doing. So how is it wasting time if you LOVE what you are doing? You're after International stardom!! I just want to share some of my own music and favorite son...

Now - about this earthquake that will inevitably devastate coastal California.............

As I remember it Ghandi was asked about "Western civilization". Still applies anyway. I read recently that after the tsunami there was not a single attack/mugging on one of the thousands of wealthy western tourists who were in the area. When I read of how some are behaving in New Orleans I wonder if...

even a broken clock is right twice a day

It is always right somewhere in the world.

I wonder how you manage to understand a lot of the other jokes as they refer to so many personalities/events over here. That joke you mention is so typical of the smutty wisecracks from Humphrey Littleton which no-one else would get away with. I love them - particularly the references to Lionel Blai...

"I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" did a special show from the Edinburgh Festival this week. The link above is a "Listen Again" site which contains a link to it. Thought you might be interested.

I have heard Hitchhikers guide way back. It was repeated recently on radio as was the tv series which was also made about 25 years ago. I think to coincide with the release of the new movie. There is a tv series called Red Dwarf which has been going for about ten years now and reminds me of HHGG. Ex...

Well, The Blind Boys of Alabama don't seem to hold any grudges
I can't listen to them without feeling like jumping for joy. Don't you just love the BBC!

Highlights from the recent Cambridge Folk festival held in the UK are being broadcast by the BBC as two programmes in the next week. They can be viewed on-line at the following link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/events/cambridge2005/onair.shtml Click "Watch Highlights" and you can select artists/song...

Nice to know "Auntie" (that's the BBC) is appreciated elsewhere. I recommend Radio4 - do you listen to it stilltruckin?

There's a feast for the mind! Most programmes can be heard again for up to a week.

we poor outnumber the fucking elitists by a long shot and yet they treat us like crap....they have no idea what to do. And, I don't think they care much about anything but "looking good" in dealing with this.

That should be "written on the subway walls"

Forbidden Planet is also one of my faves. When I was a kid we were made to do Shakespeare at school, and one year the play was "The Tempest" which none of us could understand a word of. The teacher took us to see Forbidden Planet (based on The Tempest) and we were all hooked! Shakespeare came alive ...

French film with subtitles in two parts. You are missing a treat. If you can get copies from your library I urge you to take a look. It is a marvellous story. Jean De Floret is part one and Manon des sources concludes the story. Very satisfactorily. Please do yourself a favour and watch it.

Cool Hand Luke
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest
Jean de Floret/Manon des Sources

and lots of others.

I haven't seen either The big Chill or American Beauty. Something to look forward to. I'll be looking in the library this afternoon. Just after returning "A beautiful Mind" - an excellent film (movie).

Excellent photo stilltrucking. I know just what you mean about strong women. I have six sisters and a cage full of tigers is pretty accurate at times. Still, I wouldn't change my fortune for anything.
