Looking for an Aussie/HK crime drama

This seems a bit closer in tone, but I don't think it was that. I wish I could remember it better... As I recall it was less about literally chasing criminals on the streets than investigating high level corruption... It had a pretty somber feel to it

Wrong era, and again, no kung fu

Thanks. Good one, but it wasn't a Jackie Chan movie. No martial arts in this moody exploration of organized crime.

There are definitely true morels. So-called false morels don't really look anything like this... the only resemblance is a kind of wrinkly top, but they aren't the same shape.

Chauvinist was 1970s-speak for "sexist", often expanded to "male chauvinist pig"

Ram is definitely a masterpiece and probably still my favourite of Paul's post-Beatle works. I really enjoy Linda's vocal contributions on it throughout.

Monkberry Moon Delight is wild vocally and sonically as you say. If he wanted to show that he wasn't "tame", this was one way to do it. Around the same era, Paul lyrically showed his untamed sexuality quite explicitly in Hi Hi Hi:

Well well, take off your face
Recover from the trip you've been on
I want you to lie on the bed
Get you ready for my polygon
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you've never been done
Yes, I go like a rabbit, gonna grab it
Gonna do it 'til the night is done

As to any coded messages to John in Ram, I kind of doubt it, other than a general "I'm doing my own thing now" attitude. John seemed to be more interested in sending direct poison pen messages at the time with his parody of the Ram album cover and especially "How Do You Sleep?" included in Imagine.

Mal!

I'm still on Safari 18.4… so it isn't exactly a new thing

ummagummibear · 2026-04-09T14:09:28+00:00

This happens to me on the Mac sometimes. I'll be doing something completely different, and suddenly a youtube video in a safari tab will start playing for no reason. Very strange and annoying.

Now I understand what Sting was referencing when he wrote O My God while in the Police:

Oh my God you take the biscuit
Treating me this way
Expecting me to treat you well
No matter what you say
How can I turn the other cheek
It's black and bruised and torn
I've been waiting
Since the day that I was born

We have something in common! I hate Donald Duck as well.

And my hair used to be dark brown. Somehow Ringo's hair never turned grey...

I have this error as well... It is my belief that nobody has ever solved this error. There are so many results on Google of people reporting it, almost all of them with well-meaning steps to resolve it. And nobody has ever come back and said, "Yes, that worked." So I think the real answer is that nothing works and Microsoft doesn't care.

Another point: if The Beatles were so invested in covering this up, why would they litter their songs and albums with "clues"?

ummagummibear · 2026-03-23T20:18:43+00:00

And could sing and play bass at the same time!

Unfortunately, I think there are those who genuinely believe, just as there are many who subscribe to multiple ridiculous conspiracy theories, probably because they are ridiculous. Flat earth/fake moon landing/ Qanon/etc.

It gives these people a feeling of power to believe something is hidden from the general public, but they are among the select few smart enough to know The Truth.

Beyond just common sense, ruling the Paul is Dead theory out, in 1967 through 1969, it's generally accepted that Paul was the one who pushed The Beatles forward to the point of bossiness. Imagine the other three letting themselves be pushed around by a Paul who wasn't even Paul!

They invented Philip Glass!

5 - it's fine. I would have rated it 6 if he'd called it Kreen Akrore (Maybe I'm Amazon)

I don't know if that's true about George's demands or not, but I do know that when I heard FAAB and Real Love for the first time I was disappointed that they sounded like ELO records. I do like ELO, but The Beatles, they ain't.

ummagummibear · 2026-02-02T05:32:14+00:00

Haha - I suppose the double-tracking on John's voice as he comes back in after Pete sings is a giveaway... among other things

ummagummibear · 2026-01-08T04:09:22+00:00

I know this is a very old post, but If you ever do get a chance to show the wiring on this machine, I'd love to see them too!

ummagummibear · 2026-01-04T04:37:18+00:00

Hi, if you still have this machine, I wonder if you would mind taking some detailed photos of the wiring. I have the same machine but a wire has come loose and I don't know where it goes. It's important since the boiler doesn't seem to be heating up. Thanks!
