fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d ...where they serve Watney's Red Barrel and cheese and onion crisps and the accordionist plays 'Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner'." And spending four days on the tarmac at Luton airport on a five-day package tour with nothing to eat but dried BEA-type sandwiches and you can't even get a drink of Watney's Red Barrel because you're still in England and the bloody bar closes every time you're thirsty and there's nowhere to sleep and the kids are crying and vomiting and breaking the plastic ashtrays and they keep telling you it'll only be another hour although your plane is still in Iceland and has to take some Swedes to Yugoslavia before it can load you up at 3 a.m. in the bloody morning and you sit on the tarmac till six because of "unforeseen difficulties", i.e. the permanent strike of Air Traffic Control in Paris - and nobody can go to the lavatory until you take off at 8, and when you get to Malaga airport everybody's swallowing "enterovioform" and queuing for the toilets and queuing for the armed customs officers, and queuing for the bloody bus that isn't there to take you to the hotel that hasn't yet been finished. And when you finally get to the half-built Algerian ruin called the Hotel del Sol by paying half your holiday money to a licensed bandit in a taxi, you find there's no water in the pool, there's no water in the taps, there's no water in the bog and there's only a bleeding lizard in the bidet. And half the rooms are double booked and you can't sleep anyway because of the permanent twenty-four-hour drilling of the foundations of the hotel next door - and you're plagues by appalling apprentice chemists from Ealing pretending to be hippies, and middle-class stockbrokers' wives busily buying identical holiday villas in suburban development plots just like Esher, in case the Labour government gets in again, and fat American matrons with sloppy-buttocks and Hawaiian-patterned ski pants looking for any mulatto male who can keep it up long enough when they finally let it all flop out. And the Spanish Tourist Board promises you that the raging cholera epidemic is merely a case of mild Spanish tummy, unlike the previous outbreak in 1660 which killed half London and decimated Europe - and meanwhile the bloody Guardia are busy arresting sixteen-year-olds for kissing in the streets and shooting anyone under nineteen who doesn't like Franco. And then on the last day in the airport lounge everyone's comparing sunburns, drinking Nasty Spumante, buying cartons of duty free "cigarillos" and using up their last pesetas on horrid dolls in Spanish National costume and awful straw donkeys and bullfight posters with your name on "Ordoney, El Cordobes and Brian Pules of Norwich" and 3-D pictures of the Pope and Kennedy and Franco, and everybody's talking about coming again next year and you swear you never will although there you are tumbling bleary-eyed out of a tourist-tight antique Iberian airplane...

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d And sending tinted postcards of places they don't realize they haven't even visited to "All at number 22, weather wonderful, our room is marked with an 'X'. Food very greasy but we've found a charming little local place hidden away in the back streets...
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d shut up.
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d And then some adenoidal typists from Birmingham with flabby white legs and diarrhea trying to pick up hairy bandy-legged wop waiters called Manuel and once a week there's an excursion to the local Roman Remains to buy cherryade and melted ice cream and bleeding Watney's Red Barrel and one evening you visit the so called typical restaurant with local color and atmosphere and you sit next to a party from Rhyl who keep singing "Torremolinos, torremolinos" and complaining about the food - "It's so greasy isn't it?" - and you get cornered by some drunken greengrocer from Luton with an Instamatic camera and Dr. Scholl sandals and last Tuesday's Daily Express and he drones on and on about how Ian Smith should be running the country and how many languages Enoch Powell can speak and then he throws up over the Cuba Libres.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Yes, yes, now............

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d And being herded into endless Hotel Miramars and Bellvueses and Continentales with their modern international luxury roomettes and draught Red Barrel and swimming pools full of fat German businessmen pretending they're acrobats forming pyramids and frightening the children and barging into the queues and if you're not at your table spot on seven, you miss the bowl of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup, the first item on the menu of International Cuisine, and every Thursday night the hotel has a bloody cabaret in the bar, featuring a tiny emaciated dago with nine-inch hips and some bloated fat tart with her hair brylcreemed down and a big arse presenting Flamenco for Foreigners.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Yes, yes, I quite agree.....
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Yes, I quite agree. I mean what's the point of being treated like sheep. What's the point of going abroad if you're just another tourist carted around in buses surrounded by sweaty mindless oafs from Kettering and Boventry in their cloth caps and their cardigans and their transistor radios and their Sunday Mirrors, complaining about the tea - "Oh, they don't make it properly here, do they, not like at home." - and stopping at Majorcan bodegas selling fish and chips and Watney's Red Barrel and calamaris and two veg and sitting in their cotton sun frocks squirting Timothy White's suncream all over their puffy raw swollen purulent flesh 'cos they "overdid it on the first day."

|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Ah, good........
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Well, I saw your adverts in the paper and I've been on package tours several times you see, and I decided that this was for me.
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Anyway, about the holiday..........
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d What, you mean.....spell 'bolor' with a K?
...Kolor. Oh, that's very good, I never thought of that. What a silly bunt.
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Why don't you say the letter 'K' instead of the letter 'C'?
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Oh yes, Khaki, king, kettle, Kuwait, Keble Bollege Oxford
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Can you say the letter "k"?
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d No, a bat.
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d You mean a cat?
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Yes, that's right. It's all due to a trauma the sbriptwriter suffered when he was a sboolboy. He was attabked by a bat.

Is that the script where a 'b' is put where there should be a 'c' at the start of a word?

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Manual processing? Pshaw! Write a Python script to do the renames.

Renaming the file would require manual processing and defeat the ease of use of the iTunes subscription.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d MMS-92 went up on iTunes a few hours ago, but I had streamed it with Winamp last week, so I didn't check it out...until now- just in case of errors. All 6 segments play OK for me.

The podcast on iTunes keeps telling me that the URL for the podcast is invalid.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I use iTunes usually, but the show didn't turn up until 9/17, so I used Winamp. I prefer Winamp for much of the 'audio stuff'.

Sorry, I don't have iTunes. I play the shows on my PC through Winamp.

Sure, that would work.. but this thread is about using iTunes.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d It's easy enough to rename the filename in Windows before I run it on an mp3 player.
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Do others wish the show had a filename that began with the Episode #/Part # instead of "The Mad Music Show"?
When scrolling through my IPOD Nano, I have to wait for it to do a horizontal scroll to see what' part it is.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d As a Windows Tech buddie of mine said, when Microsoft made Vista,
they hooked a machine up to the Redmond Wa sewer system, and fed the solid waste into a machine that made it into CD's and DVD's these they boxed up and sent to the stores and that is how Vista was born,
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d That's for sure. After what Wayne mentioned on show 92 about upgrading to Vista, I'll wait a while. XP runs just fine and there's no rush to make Bill Gates any richer.
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Well, all this should be a big reminder to never trust a new OS and always wait for its SP1. Or even to avoid MS altogether- if you lean toward the Mac or Linux sort of thing.
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I was having difficulty in downloading show 91, as it is still on this server, rather then mypodcasts.net. The speed is very slow.
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d There was a mix up of shows resulting in show 82 instead of 92 being put on the show page. I pointed it out and it was quickly fixed, but iTunes doesn't seem to have MMS-92 yet.
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Is iTunes just no longer carrying the show? or is it related to the crash las week?
