not really. but i'll take your word for it. I'll never use it without sounding like a twat, but happy to stand corrected.


And just to clarify, I never denied the existence of the word math.

I was skeptical that math as a singular of the plural maths was real, mathematics being a noncountable noun it makes no sense to have a singular. You can't say one mathematic, two mathematics, so why would the short forms change the meaning?


Are you making math = single calculation up?

The Oxford dictionary does change over the years. A bit like the borders of Peckham and East Dulwich. It seems that John will cling to the past when it suits his purposes, but is happy to take an update when it helps him to "prove" a point.


The actual word is mathematics.


"do the math" is a term used by idiots.

Thing that impresses me about DB is that he refused to give up. He was trying everything fir years before finally hitting the jackpot with Ziggy.


I tend to agree with El Pibe / Atticus though. There are some great tracks, but I've never been able to get in to him in a big way.

EP, Mozza would have put out an EP when under pressure to do so. And with Hay!

And like as not had sketches made of the two of them and their collaborators and distributed among the cognoscenti.

Early MTV if you will.


Mozart also may have glanced toward Haydn and ventured "I have a notion concerning a musical project, the concept of which is an engine of general sorts made of base metal and of..."


Joseph informed him "Enough with the metal nonsense, already Wolfgang, go with what you're doing it's not enough you should make your mother proud"?

"Act like a mensch"!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
