What if anything are you listening to now?

[dm]

Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now. 

Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

[only1billybonds]

Some old Danny Baker shows from the golden days of bbc London. Some of the most enjoyable radio ever made.

Plastic Surgery Disasters - Dead Kennedys

"Bon Iver by Bon Iver. 7 years old now but goes straight into my top 10, amazing album!"

[Darlo Debs]

in honour of our apey friends am.now listening to Strobelite - The Gorillaz

[Nurse Ratched]

"It is a nuisance at times. For example, if I want to put inverted commas around a word or phrase, I have to enter a battle of wills between it and I over the placement of the second inverted comma. It will accept the first readily enough, but the second it will refuse to place (it will disappear as soon as I hit the space bar, forcing me to go back to re-enter it). Following that it will then frequently insert a space between the last word and the second inverted comma."

Has Samsung's predictive text system become a monkey on your back?

[Darlo Debs]

apart from living near the place where they chose to hang one as they somehow confused it with a frenchman ....i am no expert on monkeys.

[Nurse Ratched]

"Yes, it's possessive 's' in that phrase, but aren't you more likely to hear 'monkeys' in the plural? As in 'Those monkeys like bananas' or ' The zoo has lots of monkeys ' or 'David Attenborough made a documentary about monkeys ' etc."

[zebthecat]

"""couldn't give a monkey's *insert epithet*"" Used < and > signs and forgot about html stripping"

[Coffee]

"No one has been able to trace the full history of this bizarre phrase. Several theories have been floated over the years, most notably the idea that monkey actually refers to the brass rack (called a monkey) that would have been used to stack cannon balls on a ship. In extreme cold, the brass would contract and thus force the cannon balls out of the rack. However, this story has not been confirmed ""ì and does little to explain why other simian body parts have also been dropping off. - Oxford Dictionaries"

[zebthecat]

"Always thought is was short for ""couldn't give a monkey's "" I have heard: uncle, toss, arse, left bollock..."

[Coffee]

"OK, I'll shut up for now."

[Nurse Ratched]

You're on shaky ground if trying to suggest I don't know how to wield an apostrophe.

[Coffee]

"And that's my defence, m'Lord."

[Nurse Ratched]

Why did Samsung insert an apostrophe there?? Surely the plural form of monkey is going to be used FAR more often than with possessive 's'? Koreans would make good supermarket delivery pickers.

[Coffee]

*monkeys*

[Nurse Ratched]

"Good point, Debs. The monkey's who choose the 'substitutions' are thick as mince. And then you end up having to go out again to get the item they didn't bring. It's pointless."

[Darlo Debs]

very sensible Nurse . They didnt have the passata sauce my sister ordered in Sainsbury's so some muppet thought Ketchup.would be the next best thing.

[Nurse Ratched]

"geep 1:31 I won't use supermarket delivery services. I want to select my own fresh produce. And until stage production companies and actors agree to come round my house and set up a performance in my sitting room, I'll still need to go into The Out some evenings."

[zebthecat]

Dreadzone - Second Light

[zebthecat]

"dm I agree, best album. My favourite Gong bit is the Master Builder/Sprinkling of Clouds sequence (the rest of the album is a bit patchy) especially when the latter explodes into life. Hillage might do spacey most of the time (I like System 7) but he is a mean shredder too."
