´Hi-Fi, Kafka and me

Sounds great Mr T - I finish with my current employer in about a month. After that my new employer insists I only go into the office one day a week so I will be free most afternoons. Whats an Erdinger?

 

I'll do it for half that.

Hmmm... 100 quid for hiring a van, another 100 for diesel, leaves 300 for some new music.

 

Sounds good Dev. if you collect them from BBV and bring them to me, I'll pay you £500.

I can't guarantee they won't come back without a few ports in the cabinet, or other, ahem, "modifications". PMC rage is hard to control.

Hi,

Nice work if you can get it!

Bavarian Wheat Beer, very refreshing and nice in the Summer.

Ciao T

 

That makes sense.

 

Drat, just remembered you live on a hill, so I'll need to insure my back. So perhaps only a couple of hundred profit.

As we are all at it, can I point out that I was the first one to admit that my system was nothing special.

Can this thread get sillier? Come on guys, Markus started a serious thread about his time in London and no one else has touched on that topic at all.

 

I can endorse Ian and Markus's enthusiasm for Francis Wheen's biography of Karl Marx, and would encourage visitors to London to include a trip to the (old) British Library on their itinerary. Other than that, I could expand on the time(s) I 've had my wallet stolen, and speculate wildly about the possible sound of other people's hifi, thus completing the loop.

 

I think the only person who has insinuated that they have the best system is BBV.

Mine is a simple setup that happens to play my kind of music well enough. Who on earth would consider this a competition. I merely pointed out that a visitor to BBV's thought their setup was more convincing.

 

Hi,

Not so sure about the subject of it....

Je suis Marxiste, tendence Groucho

But the British Library Reading room is definitly worth the visit and the Sainsbury exhibition of African Art in the British Museum Basement serious kicks booty.

Ciao T

 

Markus should have delayed and come to my next bake off - thats on topic.

Ok Mr T you are on.

Actually, I dont need to work in the office for my new job so my new employer offered this as an incentive and also to allow me to research undisturbed. I am also free to relocate anywhere in the world and work remotely.

SM - your false modesty isnt very convincing.

I am feeling some SSB rage - does that justify giving you a new "port" too?

 

Dev, I came to London to have a good time. I also am having a good time reading this thread. It's perfectly on topic. Carry on, lads.

 

Why?

 

Still oscillating. Manic depressive?

 

Why to sample the delights of a brinkmann and PMC based system in london of course! Perhaps next time?

Still on a vacation high.

 

Good for you. Sorry to spoil it for you.

 

You didnt. I am on a roll - it would take an immoveable object to resist me.

 

Should I serenade you? Or would chocolates do the trick?

 

bizarre

 

Andy, I posted that Nick had yet to move me. It was supposed to be an allusion to my not inconsiderable girth (I'm working on it), but I deleted it as someone was bound to post something along the lines of the earth moving for me when I heard Nick's system.

 

He can send me the chocolates if you don't want them.
