Equally uninformed about music, art and science but likely to post on any regardless. ECM nerd and Gerhard Richter obsessive. If I'm playing music: yes, it's supposed to sound like that.

Anyone else hearing dial-up modem sounds when looking at that pic?

Making a hammer out of a styrofoam cup full of Hg in front of a bunch of VI form students (of whom I was one), then walloping the supposedly frozen hand* of the other demonstrator with said hammer. Different times :)
*actually a rubber glove with cotton wool stuffed in the fingers

Two lecturers at my sixth form college. They had been doing the demonstration for several years, but apparently "the finger flying off and landing in that girl's lap: that was unexpected."

I witnessed an demonstration that went spectacularly wrong (or right, depending on who you ask) that involved someone pretending to place their hand in liquid N2, a mercury hammer*, a flying disembodied finger and a hysterical student being taken out of the class.
*yes, a hammer made of mercury.

Bonus points for "naughtiness detection vehicles" 👏👏

Their default position seems to be "everyone has a TV, and if you say you don't then you're probably lying so we'll come and check."

Agreed. Wouldn't be surprised if they transported it in something sealed (oops) or spilled it in a confined area (big oops)

Anyone who says "use liquid nitrogen on {whatever}" is usually about to inadvertently kill or maim themselves.

Well, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold - but it's a tough call.

Yep. The Calling, the long track from side 2 of Rejoicing, is more in that vein.

It's preemptive recycling.

Side 2 definitely benefits from a bit of volume and, preferably, absent neighbours.

Had my eye on those. Good to hear some positive feedback.

Beatdown would be my choice - about a minute's walk from the Central Station. Lots of new stuff (LPs/CDs, a few tapes) in the front and a large selection of second hand items in the back room.
RPM (10' away) has a good selection of second hand discs.
Vinyl Guru has interesting stock but is £££.

It used to be a great store, but their prices for (particularly) vinyl records were ludicrous. Sad to see them go - spent a good deal of my pocket money in there - but not entirely surprised.

"preemptive recycling"?

Stretching my memory of the backdrop there but it rings vague bells.

Skydiving or pasta making? Why not both? Little more satisfying than creating the perfect farfalle before the 'chute opens.

Could someone be kind enough to post the list so we can have a laugh? The Express can do one if they expect me to have personalised advertising from them.

An original copy too, by the looks of it.

I have a vague memory of her presenting a weather broadcast and pointing to something over her shoulder, presumably what she thought was going to be a chart, and it was someone's bare backside. Entirely possible I imagined this, but it seems curiously specific.

Had one on our lab a while back that said "Trespassers welcome: test subjects are expensive" but my boss made me take it down 😕
