  1. Sure, having all them along with the Ferraris, the Bentley, the SLS and all that confuses the crap out of me. Duggeh, are we becoming the Soft-case instead of the Hard-case or what?
  2. I think the members' birthday list is missing.
  3. Re-read it, STFU and keep reading the site. Otherwise you may lose your posting privileges. We don't care if the welcome message bothers or pleases you. Only morons think the message isn't related to them.
  4. Ben Webster - The Soul of Ben Webster This is actually a 2CD set made from 3 albums by Webster, Johnny Hodges and Harry "Sweets" Edison (among other outstanding musicians) recorded on two or three sessions between 1957 and 58. The other two LPs were Harry "Sweets" Edison - Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You? and Johnny Hodges - Blues-A-Plenty
  5. If you put all them into a Vantage like this one then drive to the highway, I think they'll run really fast indeed. Probably well too. For silly audio questions that have no answer by this site members, ask elsewhere. And read your welcome message
  6. Yes, it's looking OK now.
  7. Yay to both. The twitter box is horrible
  8. It requires a huge talent finding those videos
  9. is it possible to say more "moronities" (ignorance is yet another whole thing) per square inch of blank page? There should be some award to that.
  10. It's pretty nice, though in Chrome it's screwing the twitter box which shows very funny indeed. It also seems to have a slight problem with the avatars, which aren't keeping their original proportion and show slightly narrowed down in height, so they look wider. Chrome problem or are you having these same issues?
  11. Thank you very much kids It was a nice Bday. We had to split the celebration for wife feeling a bit upset stomach at night, so dinner needed to be postponed. There will be more events on Saturday and Sunday, when a good part of the family who are out on vacation will return It's great having a "duty free" weekend on sight.
  12. Thanks guys. I told you wrong, the grapes aren't moscatel (though they taste quite similar) but Pedro Ximenez for the brandy. According to the manufacturer, only Pedro Ximenez grapes are used in their products. If you haven't ever tasted any Pedro Ximenez based wine (they're mostly sweet wines intended for dessert and digestive use, though they're not syrupy like moscatel) I recommend you Noe or more affordable and still very good, Harvey's
  13. After a great birthday meal which Sol lovingly prepared, drinking an awesome Ribera de Duero red wine, name Pago de Carraovejas: The one we've had is 2007 crianza, which despite not being reserva or gran reserva is an awesome-still-affordable wine. I'm having a post-meal brandy. It's a limited production (3000 bottles/year) one which is very peculiar for having moscatel grapes that give it its peculiar sweet (raisin) taste. This is one of my favorite cognac-like beverages
  14. Happy co-birthday I wish you a great one mate!!
  15. Portugal is a very nice country and their people are sweet and friendly. Moreover food and wine are awesome, and I mean "normal" wine, for Porto wine being a whole another category of awesomeness. That said, I can imagine how must be their administrative staff if they're some sort of a slowed down version of the Spanish one
  16. Thanks for the clarification. I can imagine most hobbyists aren't really buying those lenses like pretzels (or churros, as we say here), though it's interesting knowing the perfection and features of the lens. Really impressive.
  17. Jebus, that photography hobby can get damn expensive too.
  18. Finished listening from yesterday late night: Maria Joao & Grupo Cal Viva - Sol Now: Booker T. & The M.G.'s - Green Onions
  19. Yeah, it's a pity Jeff. Sell that damaged one to me for peanuts and get a new one. You deserve it
  20. Going for the second glass of this I have a weakness for limoncello. This one is among the best I know. Sweet enough, bitter enough, alcoholic enough
  21. Probably it's the same recording and the same music, but it's a different edition (probably the original released in 1980), way more expensive than the one available here or cdbaby
  22. That seems an interesting USB DAC. Keep us posted Birgir.
  23. Glad to know you're fine and covered Guillaume. Take care.
  24. I understand you very well. I've spent a good part of my life not understanding what they were singing. Most tunes were way more interesting when wrapped in ignorance.
