The Beatles were inspired by John Cage!

By the way, I haven't posted for while, been very busy, some major changes in my life (nothing to worry about!). So, it's been a while...

Hopefully these change are good. At least they do not have anything to do with Sorrano becoming Philip or vice versa. Love the Purcell, thank you for posting that!

Sorry, Sorrano - for a second there, I thought you were Philip!

You thought Sorrano Philip was?

Ha ha, no worries. I did like your Churchill quote,however.

[PDG]

That must be something like, you should never use a preposition to end a sentence with.

Forgive me, Q.
For some reason I've only now seen your post (ten months later - about the normal gestation time for my brain to 'kick in'...).

Mr. Churchill had been reading about some academic who'd expressed disdain for those who end sentences with prepositions, and the great man commented (something like), "I agree. That is something, up with which I will not put."

I hope you are well.

A Churchillian quote comes to mind about ending a sentence with a preposition. Will post tomorrow as my eyelids are now failing to defy gravity...Good night...

I think we've found the solution, PDG! Good repartee we had.

Edit: I sound like Yoda, that little Jedi knight, who always puts the verb at the end. Who always the verb at the end puts. Puts? Are we back on the golf?

Hi Q.

I can't find the post but I'm sure it must have been c.mid-2009. It wasn't a big "thing". I'd joked that I'd been playing golf, and that the best two balls I hit all day was when I trod on a rake. You responded with a comment about Hogarth. Then, I think I said something about him being my caddie that day, and checking my progress.

All very high brow, I'm sure you'll agree...

Hi PDG, I had a look too, but no joy. What might the connection between golf and Hogarth be? I've been surfing the Web and came up with his "A Rake's Progress" (a series of eight satirical paintings). Might the the bunker rake you mentioned above be the idea?

Hi Q.
I was just about to set my balls up for a game of snooker when I thought I'd try and find our exchange from way, way back when. No success yet, but I can confirm already that it would have been pre-2010. My search continues...

Hi PDG. Er, no, I don't remember that. Want to post a link to it (if you can find it on this forum's massive archive)? I am a great admirer of Hogarth, by the way, especially his Gin Lane (1750-1751).

Very funny, Q.

I hardly ever drink these days, but a well-made G+T is a great aperitif.

Hitting great balls, eh? I hope we are all adult enough to appreciate some slightly naughty humour. Let's talk about these balls PDG has been talking about:

I was wondering if you'd remember my Golf/Hogarth reference from ages ago! As for the video ad, I don't know about trying a lawnmower on my unmentionables, but for sure, I'll never look at the giant, rusting, green metal contraption gathering cobwebs in the shed, in the same light again. [Makes me wince just thinking about it...]...
