My mistake. I seem to recall there was some US group from the 1950's that had that lyric in a song.

I'll see what I can do. I think just about every band did a remake of something. Some of them made a career of it. Last night I Typed in On u-tube one of my favorite folk songs ,"Streets of London" and found dozens of groups redid it , including about four different versions done by the songs writer ".

I though most women liked children?

You could always ask "would you rather I do adult foolishness? Getting drunk,stoned,chasing girls,getting in fights, racing cars and in general getting in trouble?"

Tell her that compared to that , she'd probably be happier with your current brand of childisness. It's cheap , leaves no criminal record and no broken bones or marriages. There are worse things you could do.

Yah. Like become a lawyer and THEN get drunk and stoned, chase girls, get in fights, race cars and generally get in trouble.

But, I don't know about the record thing. Recently, strapped for cash, I applied for an associate's position with the well-known law firm Soo, Grabet & Runne. I got to the interview stage, mostly by lying and misrepresenting of course, and one of the first questions was,

"Have you ever fabered?"
(err ... ummm) I replied, "Yes, but I didn't inhale."
"Well, are you remorseful?
(aaahh ... eeehhh) "Yes, of course."
"Did you ever do it again?"
(mmmmm ... eheheh ... kaffkaff) "Yes, I did."
"NEXT CANDIDATE!"

I just hope that someday all us faberers can find acceptance and fairness ... maybe equal treatment under the tax laws as FOSOSSLQs (faberers of the same or opposite sex sharing living quarters) ... being able to serve our country without having to ignore our status as faberers ... perhaps, then, American society can forget its prejudices and we can all live together in peace and harmony ...

Nah.

Nah.

Maybe some sort of colony should be set up somewhere? A location where the computers are wired to batteries so that filling an entire page of forum posts leads to an electric shock. Or a Faberers Anonymous organisation.

Hmm, it turns out my reinstall "problem" wasn't so bad after all. I have collected ten pieces of essential software that I have reinstall on my new computer for it to have the same set of core functions as the old one. Then I have to copy over my FF bookmarks file and my home banking key, and I'll be set.

All the other stuff can be installed at my leisure.

Good Kristian!

BTW, did you put Win7 x64 on it?

No, I'm paying my computer store to install it for me as part of the deal. Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit OEM.

The whole deal, including OS, is just over $2,000.

Didn't know that computer store in Denmark has a right to install "OEM" Win7... hmmm...

They buy the OEM license first, obviously. Very, VERY common.

Ahhh... I think that we misunderstood...

The PC you will buy form PC store will be made by them and preinstalled with Win7 (and you bought both PC hardware and Win7 OS) and you will have to register the Win7 by yourself...

The "OEM" in true sense would mean something else...

Leo "Apollo11"

Okay, okay... Nitpicker...

I suppose we could call it an OEA (Original Equipment Assembler)...

You ... you ... faberphobe. We are not lepers. We don't need reprogramming or deprogramming, we need sympathy, understanding and respect.

I am tempted to organize a "Faber Rights Parade in New York on St. Patrick's Day, but it would probably be the smallest and most inconsequential and idiotic protest since the "Let's Have Some Sympathy for Incompetent Army of the Potomac Commanding Generals" movement.

Yarr. I must confess that I was never a big Beatles fan, even though they were popular during my late adolescence and early adulthood.

I mean, their early stuff, when it wasn't a cover, wasn't much more than cutesy moptop dance music with odd lyrics and questionable musicianship behind it.

"When I'm comin' home tonight,
I'm gonna hold her tight,
I'm gonna love 'er 'til the cows come home..."

Wait a minute. What happens when the cows come home? A bull cops an attitude, steps up and says, "Hey! Scrawny little floppy haired pop music type. You messin' wif my heifer?"

"...and when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide. I can't hide. I CAN'T HIDE."

Okay, okay. You lay yer hands on some chick, you start gettin' wood. So?

"Please, please me - oh, yeah -
The way that I please you."

I dunno. The gay thing never did it for me.

Looks like you're SOL then.

Fabering is the biggest threat to our way of life since the spectre of Communism reared it's ugly head. It's an abomination in the eyes of Thread. Impressionable young children could be reading these fabers and think they're fun, all the while not realising the damage that these abominations are causing. Somebody think of the children!
If I had my way all you faberers would be packed off to live in Slough. Every weekend you'd be made to travel by bus to the Lake District and enjoy a visit to the Pencil Museum.

Didja ever read "The Forever War" by my old pal Joe Haldeman? Time travel is routine. Missions can cross hundreds of years, so that you never know whether you're confronting an enemy vastly more advanced technologically than you or so hopelessly primitive that they're cake.

He posits that the human race is inexorably "trended" toward homosexuality, so that the persistently hetero "hero" of the book winds up being referred to by his troops as "the old queer."

Lousy book like just about all sci-fi, but a lot of fun to read.

Pffft, typical faber-centric twaddle. Next you'll be telling us that it's suitable for two faberers to be parents together. It's un-natural I say! You know who else used to Faber? Nixon

And Adolf Hitler, he Fabered Poland you know. And don't get me started on Tom Cruise, we all know he's a faberer. Not to mention Muslim extremists.
Famous non-faberers include Ghandi and Mother Theresa. And Jesus. None of those people ever commited a faber.

Sorry Steve, i will became really serious here :
i don't like many french singers or band.
I was raised with anglo-saxon bands, and i am really found of them: Beatles is my ever favorite band. The stones, Simon and Garfunkel, Beach Boys, Led Zepp' , AC/DC , Genesis, Police, and so on.

Hence the title of my AAR is a reference to my most ever favorite band !!

Eric, I'm a huge, huge, HUGE Beatles fan. Right now I'm mostly interested in collecting as much of their live recorded performances as I can, and thre's not much of it around. The best of it can be found on Live at the BBC, which includes a great version of Roll Over Beethoven. Have you heard this CD?

3 years ago, it was my Birthday present from the most beloved personn in the world, my wife.
It is good !

Edit: For my point of vue, my own personnal feeling is that this is not the best CD or songs of the beatles.
In fact, i have some taste for some albums, but usually there are 2 or 3 songs that i like in an album.
In general, althought, i like their style, wich improve greatly after 1963.
