i have never met a doctor that i didn't know how to diagnose. therefore, i suggest you stop laughing and answer my questions. i can see through the disguises. it is a penitant move and you think it assures you favor with the sea gods.
i beg of you to think twice. my brother took a little yacht out and passed the harbor three times. each time he tried to turn around, the whole durn sail about knocked everyone overboard. the water was churning. and, my daughter was onboard. at least they didn't get lost at sea.
Well, for the first time in 26 years, i have done the dishes.This begs more questions (and comments) than you might think.
I have written to Ross McWhirter to see if this is a record and if i might be included in next years Guiness Book of Records.
Has anyone managed to avoid it longer then this?

you mean for someone else? mental martin. in the shetlands. was this out of the goodness of your heart - or did you have an ulterior motive. perhaps a borrowing of the outboard motor boat or some fishing pole needed? what is going on over there?Unst-erior, dear - not Ulterior (in the Shetlands, that is). And no pole is needed to do this kind of thing; even the Shetlanders probably realise that one is needed only for the purposes of pole dancing, but then this is probably the one branch of dance in which you have no particular interest...
i have never met a doctor that i didn't know how to diagnose.So you diagnose doctors, do you?

Ever since watching Jason and the Argonauts, i have always offered a prayer to the sea gods before sailing.Alistair wills it; in the possible absence (on duty in Afghaniraqistan) of Allah himself, will that do?
If Allah wills it, I will survive.

thal is half viking. you can't convert them - even when they confess.Which half? Who is "you" here? Into what can "you" not convert them, even when they confess to what? In any case, assuming "you" literally means "you" here, why do you want to "convert" people? (and to what?) and/or extract confessions therefrom? That's an awful lot of questions in a relatively small space, I know, but...

So the question is this: is it easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, or to play Bartok with one hand? Perhaps Henrah could tell us when he finishes his "roll-up" ;)

I have a Brinsmead Triumphodist awaiting restoration, want it? ::)
But this doesn't answer my question about inserting images ???
her name is Miele, she is German, she can keep going for almost two hours
Here's the camel, with a whole collection of "roll-ups" on his back. Bartok made rolls, you know. You can play them with one foot. Not a lot of people know that.(https://www.pianola.org/pianostreet/camel.jpg)
Lucky old you Hinty.Many thanks for the thought, but a thousand would be just too many for me; "Symphony of a Thousand", fine, but "Family of a Thousand", no way. No, siree - just 46 will do me for now, thanks - and, for the avoidance of doubt (as the lawyers say), I refer here to my current opus number tally...
None of my women have ever been able to keep going for that long.
I am amazed you have time to compose.
May Allah bless you with a thousand children.

he means washing the dishes. a real dishwasher. just asm1469named her piano fredryk - he has named her the german name miele (probably for a past girlfriend who both washed dishes and gave him two hours of rolling - forget the piano). unless, unless...he is wierd and has a thing for dishwashers.Everything in its place, say I - not least the dishwasher - which is why I favour a Miele one because it never seems to go wrong so I can just use it when necessary and otherwise forget about it.
Wait up, why put up with the washing up?Indeed! This, incidentally, reminds me of the old admonition against prisoners planning to marry immediately upon release from jail: "never end a sentence with a proposition"...
Oh no! I have ended my sentence with a preposition :o In the words of Churchill:
"This is the sort of English up with which I will not put"
May Allah bless you with a thousand children.
thanks for clearing this up, ahinton. so... your compositions are your children and your mate is a dishwasher. that sounds reasonable being that time and quietness seem to be necessary for composers. i certainly hope meile has some speed settings. she doesn't speak french? or are they temperature settings? the newer dishwashers are also very quiet. but, that makes them even more forgettable."Pianistimo" dear - it is clear that, far from "clearing" anything "up" here, I have confused you further - which was neither my intention nor, I believe, my fault. The first bit's OK but I said nothing whatsoever about having a diswasher for a "mate"; one would surely not, after all, want to have anyone as a "mate" of whom one could (as I just did) write that one "can just use it when necessary and otherwise forget about it"?

No that is not a mate, that is a woman ;DPerhaps you are less of a "wishful (or, in the present context, washful) thinker" than your forum ID might appear to suggest...
i am not absolutely positive about the gender of dishwashers.I'm relieved to hear it.
i think it is entirely dependent upon the name they are given as to how they are viewed.Mine's name was "given" it by its manufacturer of the same name (if you get my drift).
in ahinton's case - the female gender means nothing - i mean in regards to dishwashing.Dishwashers are by definition neutral in thie regard, so this hardly applies merely to me.
now, if the dishwasher spoke french and also pole danced - he might wonder what brand it was.If mine started to to the former, I'd wonder why it didn't just shut up and do the dishes according to the programme selected; if it started to do the latter, I'd be far more concerned as the the internal crockery breakages that would inevitably result (not that I have a suitable pole in my kitchen anyway). French-speaking pole-dancing dishwashers; what a strange pianistimic imagination you appear to have! Is this what living in Philadelphia does to you? If so, I'd better try to persuade Marc-André Hamelin to move away from there as soon as possible...
