It's a week

[Neal Campbell K3NC]

This is just staggering! Go to Allmusic and look up the albums that
Stephen has worked on. I am pleased that I own over half of them! A
wide ranging career! My two hobbies (this is a business!) are amateur
radio and being an audiophile. It would be interesting to hear the
stories about the albums you have worked on!

I am deeply impressed (and I also love Milton and Bebe!)

That's influence of Hollywood, movies...

Is the immortal Duncan McLoud from Scotland? So they must have a few
immortals there, lots of fights with swords and lightnings.
---
People sometimes state funny "facts" or ask questions about my part of
the world too.  Just a few - "Oh I know, Hannibal Lecter was
Lithuanian!",  "Do you have roads?.." Well, at least no one asked "if
cannibalism is so widespread in your country" - I guess they are afraid
to :-) . B.t.w we are not that far away on the edge of the world (check
wikipedia entry on Geographical Centre of Europe or the Guinness Book of
World Records on same subject), country is a member of the EU and NATO.

On the other hand if somebody asked me facts about Georgia, my first
thought is far from the USA, I would not be able to list all names of
the USA states or presidents, or even capitals of all Balkanian
countries that make part of the Europe without digging deeper into my
memory or asking google. Therefore I think this lack of knowledge is
quite normal. Although the funny (and still somehow unpleasant) part of
it is that "unknown" = "wild, uncivilized and dangerous place"
stereotype in some foreign minds.

We have no queen of Scots; there is a Hanoverian usurper who trots
around as her Whiggish masters dictate. "Sir" Sean Connery accepted
his fake knighthood from that woman forever successfully alienating
both the Republicans and types like me:

Our legal King is His Britannic Majesty Francis II . . .

http://www.jacobite.ca/kings/francis2.htm

who, interestingly enough, has donated a large sum of money,
as well as his expertise, to the Foreign Language High School
here in Plovdiv where my eldest, Alexander studies German,
and where, I am very proud to say, my younger son, Andro,
has just won a place.

Now, Andre, at least (with the possible exception of the Yanomami)
in Brazil, Brazilians know who they are; in Scotland the English and
their fellow travellers have been pulling the wool over their eyes for
such a long time that most Scots don't even know who they are.

Our King attended the recent funeral of the late His Imperial and
Royal Highness Dom Pedro Luiz de Orleans e Braganza, Prince of
Brazil

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Jacobite/message/8951

who was killed in the Air France crash.

I extend my condolences to you as this must be a very great blow.

AND, where on earth is the 4.0 beta?

Richmond,

people here are not really aware of the royal familly, they only make
the news when they have a party, marry, die or the like. They live not
far away from me, like two hours on a near city called Petropolis
(city of Pedro, the emperor). I do like the royal familly though, some
years ago we had a public vote to decide what form of goverment we
should go, the options were keep the democracy, go with parlament type
or bring back the monarchy,  democracy won but it was the one time in
recent time you saw the royal guys on TV trying to convince you to
bring back the monarchy and people on the street saying: "do we have a
royal familly!? a king?!"

I feel sorry for the Prince, it was a tragic accident, my neighbours
were there too, the whole familly. I've personally took that flight
five times, it was my favorite way of getting to europe. I am going in
a boing now.

As for funny stories regarding european royal, my scout master is a
habsburg baron, cousin of the king of sweeden or something, I usually
give hides for he has no car and sometimes I lend him money for uses
almost everything with the scout group... He sent back like four
millions dollars back to sweeden because he was afraid the money was
going to be robbed by corrupt guys on the scout board. Now we're all
pennyless but happy, score one for the good guys!

As for the Scotland tales, I learned everything from waching the tudors...

It's completely authentic, Henry VIII had a strong resemblance to  
Elvis Presley.

Dear, dear, dearie me . . . that's because they were related, both composers
and both had a tendency to overindulge in narcotic substances.

And if the good folks in Edinburgh don't realise how desperate we are
getting
waiting for the 4.0 beta from the level to which these postings have sunk
then . . . err . . . we'll just have to go on about how Jane Austen invented
the Mini Cooper and Bryn Terfel is a mountain that emits singing noises
next to Cader Idris!

Hey, just came upstairs from a class where some kids were making graphic
objects wander round a stack and change shapes and colours as they did so:

boy - Oh - boy: it never ceases to amaze me how quickly Runtime Revolution
can empower people!

Hi from Paris,

There is such a word as "precursor"

> It's completely authentic, Henry VIII had a strong resemblance to

What you mean is that Elvis Presley had a strong resemblence to
Henry VIII (poor bastard !).

-Francis

Yes, that would be more correct. And here's the evidence:
