Got home after a fun post-work drink, turn on the radio, and the first thing I hear is the National Anthem. Talk about unnecessary shocks. |

For any reason? Did you assume the queen had died? |

A momentary panic whilst the regular listener processes what it might mean. Turns out it was just the start of tonight's concert on the Third. Still, I remember feeling very uneasy on the evening of the London attacks on 7th July 2005 when the Radio 4 News fell off the air. |

Sorry, I had worded that badly and it looks like I thought you’d overreacted, which I didn’t think. I meant was there any reason they were playing it? And then the follow question. I know you’ve answered both, I just didn’t want you think I was being mean when I was just writing poorly (even moteso that usual). |

Nah, didn't think that at all. The tune's still pretty rubbish, even when orchestrated. |

Reminds me of a discussion with a very talented guitarist I know, where we agreed that Folk music sucks... But he pointed out that if you play Folk twice as fast as normal it becomes punk. He then busted out a medley of 'finger-in-ear fol-de-rol shite' (as he memorably called Folk) but twice as fast and he's was right. |

Is one of the broadest tags, and is as meaningless as "world music". I suppose he's mentioning the 60's singer/songwriting music like Dylan, Neil Young or Joan Baez? Because i don't see how can something like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDbYOssoOYI) sped up can be punk. But i would be curious to see the result

The sped up version actually sounds more "normal" than the 1x one which sounds slowed down. It's the Doom Metal of folk. |

| Post subject: | Re: Bits and Bobs 49 |
We were talking about Trad Folk, so proper old school stuff. Where everyone dies by the end. For context we were at a Live Roleplaying Event. The above stuff gets a fair amount of play, either 'straight' or 'filked' and is often played/sung even slower and more boring than normal, such being mistaken as being more 'heartfelt'. This is why we got onto playing it twice as fast, (and 'playing' as in literally playing on a guitar or other instrument). He even made The Wild Rover tolerable. And I hate that song. |

I've had 4 calls in the past 3 days from Indian scammers pretending to be from BT Open reach as my PC is infected. My record for winding one up so far is 40 minutes. He was persistent. Seriously though, has anyone else had any? My dad has had a few as well. It seems they're ramping up their scam activity. |

One rang our house while I was out. So disappointed. I would have loved to wind him up. We even get them at work. Bold move when someone answers the phone with "IT Services, Dave speaking" to plow on with your "you have a virus" speech! |

Mrs. W said she had a couple recently, but she can’t be arsed to wind them up, she just tells them we don’t have a computer and they usually hang up immediately. |

I like to wind them up because if they're talking to me, they're not scamming someone who may fall for it. Like a modern day super hero... With pretty shitty powers. |

I do get the occasional spammy call to my mobile but it's always 'Our records show you were in a recent car accident that wasn't your fault'. I used to be polite with them and tell them I've not owned a car in years.. then they said 'oh, maybe it's someone else at the same address'.. I tell them I live alone.. they say they'll update their records.. and that'd be the end of it. Now, I just hang up on them. |

I finally unplugged my landline phone after getting 8+ calls from "Microsoft" every fucking day. It did stop for a while after Gaz answered once (sexism) but then started up again. I just get them on my mobile now instead

It's not server-side caching, or we'd see the same thing. Your local browser must have grabbed it. Opening the image in a new window and then refreshing that will probably do it. |
