Or another brick in the wough ( which is the way ' wall' sounded to me in the song).

Have you ever hears "horse" in English? To me, it sounds more like "hose".

I have recently recognized that I do not like any dialects if their melody goes up at the end of the sentence. The German ones included.

Yeah. I was once happily singing along[*] to an album I hadn't listened to in almost a decade while I was cooking dinner. It wasn't until I opened the cupboard and discovered I had no cans of tomatoes that I remembered why specifically I'd gone to the shops earlier...

I love mobile phones. I write shopping lists every time I go to the shops now, and I don't leave my phone at home the way I did with stupid bits of paper with lists scribbled on them.

[*] At a guess, no one else in the house was happy with me "singing" along.

When you need something from the kitchen, assign a melody to it before getting up. LOL!

I have often thought of how amazing it is that I can remember the lyrics to hundreds of songs at least. There seems to be a huge effect on memory when we put words to music. But then repetition is clearly part of it. Many of those songs had many hours of airplay. Not to mention...

It's the story, of a lovely lady...

I remember a night in a cocktail bar after work in the '90s and they played a song from the charts which was a cover of a song from the '70s or something. Anyway, the guy next to me and I sang along. Then he poked me and said: "You must be careful meanwhile when to sing along. It is revealing your age."

The very first popular song I learned, a couple of years after it's release, was Puff the Magic Dragon. In fact I can still see in my memory the man playing guitar and teaching our nursery school class the words. And of course I do still know the words. I'm sure I could match you cover to cover for anything from the 70s. :H

I start to think of myself as getting old but I refuse to go down that path. Age is a state of mind and I need my hot young gf to remember that!

While reviewing the preparations for the siege of his enemy's castle, the prince visited the battery of catapults.

"What are you going to load the catapults with?"

"We'll use the contents of our latrines, sire."

"Very good. :cool: How easy is it to aim these things?"

"Not very. It's sort of a crapshoot."
