I'm 46 and can hear it - but only if I move my head around. I suspect node/anti-nodes from interference patterns. But I can hear it.

To me it looks like a load of people enjoying themselves in a harmless way. Not to my taste, but they mostly seem happy doing it. Let 'em get on with it.

Catalyst:- As I understand it, in a large part the problem stems from the ownership of the mortgage having been shuffled and re-shuffled so many times. It's more than likely that your mortgage is no longer owned by the lender with whom you originally dealt, nor the second owner or the third.
What would worry me is not whether I could repay the mortage, but whether I was repaying the correct bank.

What a load of self-indulgent tosh.

I was at school with a Justin Kayse. What on earth were his parents thinking of?

torrance:- You're right, the entire (particularly US) patent system is falling into disrepute thanks to these frivolous patents. The leading example is Amazon's One Click Shopping. How on earth anyone could have suggested that it passed the test of being "Non obvious" baffles me.
That seems to be the commonest failing - the scrutineers are not sufficiently bright to realise that some things are just too obvious to patent.
And don't get me started on trademarks...

I love the idea of a paper on incontinence by J. W. Splatt and D. Weedon.

tt:- If he left the wheel turned it'll roll in a curve, of course. And what's more, the castoring of the wheels won't work going backwards - in fact they'll swing more towards the side they're already facing.

I went right off Disney a few years ago when I wanted to buy a Fantasia 2000 DVD. They don't sell them. For some obscure reason they've withdrawn them from sale for ten years, which means that our daughter will be 11 before she can get to see it - our VHS copy died when she was a toddler.
It can only be greed - and this report just rubs salt in.

Inexcusable, really, since the format of the license is the same across the EU so Irish dibbles should have been familiar with the layout - the fields are even numbered the same.

Is it really rare? We often don't field a full team at the local Rugby club if the opposition haven't managed to scrape together a full set, and we've thrown throw-ins on purpose if they're for a technicality that doesn't abide by the spirit of the game.
Elton:- Yeah, why not? If for you the game's about winning then I feel sorry for you.

Anyone who really doesn't get it probably won't find this funny, either.

I've been giggling at it from time to time for about forty years.

Great fun to watch, and if it's a style of learning that suits you, great. Trouble is, not everone learns well from that style - that's not to say there's anything wrong with it, just that for every tutor like that you'd need a calm steady slow one.

There's no point in being highly memorable if what you're /teaching/ isn't remembered as well.

Meanwhile, in cold-fish England...
