    However you chose 1 and 0 there, so I make that one-one-zero.

    Perhaps go for some big numbers (not that I'm trying to sway anything:rotfl::rotfl:.)

    110 gives this, of all things:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4ACdBdHtCA

    Actually, I've got a story attached to this track:D. Oh no, did you have to pick one that set Savvy off into a story again?!?:rotfl::rotfl:

    This track, I think, is actually too much for the dancefloor. This version in particular, played on the club floors, rips your ears off from inside out. I seriously don't know how clubbers dealt with it - except if they were so drunk that they were literally numb to hearing anything. Now, you know I don't go out that often:(:o:rotfl::rotfl: but I did once go out and heard a slightly different one to this (the part in question not being as prolonged as in the mix linked to) and, killjoy Savvy:(:rotfl:, yes I did have to come off the dancefloor.

    At home, however, played at a reasonable level (not so much with headphones, as even there it rips your ears, possibly my ears?, off) - it's those high-pitched sounds. I used to play a cut-down version of this at work (because I only own that one:p), with this on repeat, when I had semi-control of the music, and everytime I came back into my room (with the music on) someone had tuned it off!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It was on semi-directional stereo as well, which really picked out and magnified - to my delight - the high-pitched bits.

    Just the best parts of the entire track. I like it because "it's so bad, it's good". Instead of much of the stuff on daytime radio nowadays - which, in my view, is just plain bad. (Not even bad in a good way.)

    It's the bit from 3.44 up to 5.36 that I like. I don't really like as it much once it gets past that bit:rotfl:.

    There are versions without the high-pitched sounds - or noise:D - and some that contain high-pitched partially in the track and to a lesser degree. I used to call the non-high pitched ones just "Gamemaster", but I called Radio Edit, which only had some of this in it, "Gamemaster Squeak" and, this one, in the link, that's "Gamemaster Squeak Squeak Squeak" in my view:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. All that squeaking sound/noise. I love it (that is, at home). It's so bad it's good. Best bit of the entire composition - I suspect that was what people didn't like about it:rotfl:. Is Quake Mix Squeak Squeak Squeak or just Squeak Squeak?:think::rotfl: Signum Mix is Squeak Squeak Squeak - and then more (5:07 onwards), you could have picked Signum Edit instead you know!:rotfl:

    So, dm, do you have to pick the numbers for a track that has hundreds of words post to go with it?:eek::rotfl::rotfl::D;):cool:

    Have you got a clearer picture? There seems to be a big smudge across the "c"

    Oh wait, it's not a "c"

    I have no idea what that is, but like Aau I felt like the letters needed adjusting ;)

    :rotfl::rotfl: Too late. That's now first of three numbers! If the reader dares go for this again...:D:rotfl:

    That last track - the high-pitched sounds in the background (or foreground?) - it's absolutely mad! Bloomin' mental. I love it.

    One of my family really hated it - doesn't like any such 'music' at all - said it sounded tinny (and that's in the non-'squeak' bits I presume) - I really love that tinny sound:T. It comes across, in my ears, as crystal-clearness to the music rather than something outside of my hearing range that's just plain annoying like (sorry - er, no I'm not:p:p) much of the rubbish autotuned stuff that allegedly passes for popular music these days - actually wish it was outside of my hearing - that's just a real mess and, to me, the daytime chart music of today is all irritating squeaky. Although - that Gamemaster track was chart music too. UK Chart no 24. Except it didn't get playlisted on any daytime or commercial radio station at all. I don't wonder why, actually on this occasion! Instead, though, it leaves them with - incredibly worse (in my view).

    Anyway. I didn't come here to diss radio again. Thanks for (me) picking that tune dm. "Tune" in the loosest sense maybe:rotfl:.

    Goodnight dm. Have a job looking forward to any track, as I have just one number towards 3.

    Not enough items:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Unless you are referring to going to listen back to that last track.

    Right...enough bilge (I knew I was going to come here to bilge tonight:D:rotfl::cool:), money-saving?!?:question:

    :(:rotfl: I'm such a killjoy, I know.

    Do do do do do do do. (Humming "Gamemaster".) No - there is a tune there!:rotfl:

    Alright, I think folks, goodnight, as I've got nowt better to talk about! (And I've four posts in a row:eek:.)

    Those Bernard Matthews Dinosaur Turkey Roll (100g) in A (watch them put the price straight up now I've mentioned it) - or Footballer's Version in M - can't believe they are still at 50p.

    The non-Football version in A (and let's face it's exactly the same whether it is in the shape of a football player or a 'dinosaur') - maybe a good item to spend wombles on. Or to use as a filler against T, S or W (returns N/A at the time of writing). Everywhere except M. Don't get the Dinosaur Turkey Roll in A on an M comp. as it compares to the Dinosaur one in M which is at much higher pricing and not the non-comparable Footballer's one at 50p. In effect, 50p at both (different version at each store but who cares?). My choice would be that you only buy fruit, veg & salad in M (and only then £5 or as little as possible over £5) and certainly DO NOT spend £20 in order to get a 'measly' £1.50 off, seeing you giving them money in any event. It would seem best to get the 50p Turkey Roll (subject to availability at that price) in A, using wombles or APGs to do so there and therefore not having to spend real cash or debit/credit card to do so. Whereas in M, I assume, you would have to spend real 50ps. So, get in A if you need to, in my view.

    Goodnight:wave::wave:.

    Having tried various own brand and Frosties, Kelloggs win hands down ... :cool:

    I am not a brand snob and often have switched to own brand where there is no real difference, and don't regularly have Frosties, Coco Pops etc in the house, but with some products you can tell the difference. I think the worst were S rice crispies (the basic range in a bag not a box) - we ended up binning them after one bowl as even I couldn't eat them to make a point :o. Also Nescafe Gold Blend - no own brand compares (IMHO) and I have tried most to try to save money (so just buy when on offer)!

    Fortunately with glitch shopping we have had some really nice products to get over my MSE ways :cool:.

    Anon

    Oops, I'm back:eek:. But I am on a money-saving related (sort of) thing. Yes I got the SP Crispy Rice Cereal but ... look at the salt in that! Salt and sugar in cereals. You're not the only one on the Nescafe Gold Blend I can tell you - someone I know (in RL of course:rotfl:) says the same thing - and it can't be 'ordinary' Nescafe, it has to be Gold Blend (half of a :wall: symbol I suppose). I'm bearing it in mind and I'll try and let you know (through my general lists if I ever get to any of them non-M-wise) if I spot any Gold Blend (or not even that, but Nescafe Gold Blend - own brand "Golds" may not do;)) on decent comparison anywhere.

    (Nescafe Gold Blend is currently 300g 'refill' version Avs T - but that's comparing vs £2.00/kg price - try to get it a bit lower than that! Looking for £1.67/kg (it'll be rare if or when that happens!) or even if very very lucky £1.33/kg, they're all set amounts in store's obvious strategic pricing games;).)

    HTH - and bye now!
