Don't go. We need you Alex. I could post a picture of a dachshund dressed as a minion if this will help leaven the bread of these stodgy posts.

Re: One quiz at a time
Tweet of the Day is indeed an excellent programme. I've stayed with Chris Watson at Aldeburgh. He was recording everything. However I prefer his work with Cabaret Voltaire.
I would suggest we begin with The History of Sexuality vol. 1.

Yes!! That's what we need. Let's have pictures of dogs dressed as minions, preferably dogs named after famous philosophers just to keep the tone up.LGTrotter wrote:Don't go. We need you Alex.

And Socrates looks very thoughtful and lovely. I had a jack russell called Hegel once. I will try to look out a picture of him.

Re: One quiz at a time
Socrates looks fairly unimpressed. The dachshunds seems to be taking it well in their stride.
You never hear about Schrodinger's dog. Perhaps his earlier experiments had a lower survival rate; at least the cat had a 50/50 chance - to begin with, at least.

Could the admins please close this thread to further posts, so that we can now admire it in its fullness? (That wasn't a quiz question.)

That would require an admin to look at the thread, which could cause sufficient uncertainty so as to cause the thread to reopen. Is that what you wanted?djewesbury wrote:Could the admins please close this thread to further posts, so that we can now admire it in its fullness? (That wasn't a quiz question.)

Would anyone be interested to have one quiz at a time resurrected?

Hmmm? There are really only two possible answers and if I choose the right one it means it's my turn

Re: One quiz at a time
This is a wild guess... 2 x Lagavulin 16, a Talisker 10 and an Aberlour 12 ?
It's just a guess to get us started.
