Max's Cool Beans
Our society is doomed...
Clive Maxfield
…but I have a disquieting feeling that maybe it's not a joke. As one person said "Our society is doomed!" Someone else noted that there are those amongst us who might mistake the sign's explanation for '3' (i.e. Three Hands).
As for me, I don't know whether to laugh or cry…

When I'm giving a lecture, I usually mention that half of the safety systems engineers include in their products are to warn us when a drongo user turns the other systems off :-)

That would come in handy (pun intended) if you were at the opera and you wanted to applaud while still having a hand free to pick your nose...
David Ashton
And from some of the videos I've seen of Walmart shoppers, some of them probably have 6 fingers on each hand...so they'd get totally confused....
On similar thought, may be they should have used 2 hands and one foot to express the intended concept. That is the target audience is a 2nd grade level education and this individual needs the aid of all it's limb digits. ;-)
David Ashton
@"Someone else noted that there are those amongst us who might mistake the sign's explanation for '3' (i.e. Three Hands)."
That's all good. Being in the know about fingers means that most of the other people in the queue in front of you will only have 3 items, so the queue will move quicker.
The downside to this, of course, is that you'll get a redneck behind you who who will threaten you with all kinds of violence upon your person because you have more items than the sign says...
Brian @ BDH
Hey Max,
If you Google around a bit, some people have suggested that this is Best Buy store and not a Walmart. If you look above the yellow sign on the left side of the photo, you will see the Best Buy logo.
(I wish that I could take credit for noticing that small detail, but I can't. I was just trying to confirm the photo.)
You can see the Best Buy logo a little more clearly here: http://i.imgur.com/7Vym6.jpg
After my experience at Best Buy yesterday trying to buy an Apple TV and HDMI cable, I think the sign is not for shoppers, but for the sales assistants!
In the TV section, there were 2 HDMI cables one for $40 and one for $90 differing in data rates and length. Holding the Apple TV module I found a sales guy and mentioned that the Apple store web site had a cable for $20. I asked if there were any other cables. I was directed to the games section. The sales guy there at least knew about bits/sec and they had had one for $30, but with no data rate specified. The sales guy sent me back to TVs. The Apple TV box has no mention of data rate. Back at TVs I manage to find a guy and ask him what was the data rate needed for the HDMI cable connected to the Apple TV. I had to translate with "gigbits per second". He replied "I have no idea, but I reccomend the $90 one". Next I found the supposed expert- also had no idea.
I went home and ordered directly from Apple- same module price, $20 cable and free shipping. (All prices, locations etc are Canadian which are a bit more than US)
David Ashton
In Australia retailers are whinging like stuck pigs about losing business to the internet. Some of them have a legitimate point, but when they shoot themselves in the foot like this, is it any wonder? If you'd got the right advice you'd probably have bought the cable at the store for a higher price, right?
Duane Benson
One of the many sad things in this commentary is that the data rate specs printed on the cable packaging likely had little or no relationship to the actual capabilities of the cable.
When I needed a couple of HDMI cables, I picked the cheapest one Best Buy had - $20.00 here in Oregon, USA. The only thing I recall the box saying in terms of specs was "Ethernet capable", which I didn't need. Any signal degradation issues this cable might have are far more subtle than my eyes or ears can detect.
I don't know of any Best Buy stores with separate lines like those in the pics (those near me have one line feeding multiple registers) but perhaps they exist. I also don't remember seeing balloons for sale in any Best Buy, but I suppose that's possible as well.
My guess is the Best Buy logo shown is part of a bigger sign promoting the sale of various third-party gift cards within the store. Grocery stores near me sell various gift cards for places like Best Buy.
Max the Magnificent
Cables can be such a rip-off -- especially to consumers who don't know what they are doing.
Even a little 6' USB-A to USB-B can cost you an arm-and-a-leg in the wrong store. Fortunately there's a little computer repair store round the corner from my office -- for a new 6' USB-A to USB-B they charge only $2
Re HDMI -- when I got my HD TV on a Saturday, I want to Best Buy -- they tried to charge me something like $50 each for two HDMI cables -- and to add insult to injury they tried to sell me up to two "golden" versions at about $90 or more a piece. Give me strength! So I waited for the following Monday and went round to that computer ship I mentioned above and got them for a fraction of the price.
"Cables can be such a rip-off "
Like the time the sales guy at Best Buy tried to sell me the expensive fibre-optic cable because there was less interference than the cheap one.
More remarkable is the fact that I keep going back, expecting a different result! Didn't Einstein say that was the definition of insanity?
Einstein is still trying to work out if he buys fast enough, then does the item count go down...
Did they try to sell Einstein the good fiber optic cable on the grounds that light was faster on that one than on the cheap one?
David Brown
I once got into an argument with a journalist for a HiFi magazine, who was convinced there was a difference between "HiFi quality" spdif optical fibres and "normal" spdif optical fibres. With great difficulty, I had to diplomatically concede that there may be some differences, as we wanted him to write a nice review of our high-end HiFi amplifiers!
What to say to audio engineers (sic) that prefer their copper cables and plugs and audio connectors to get treated with criogenic baths, to "reduce stress at atomic level", so the audio will be transmitted with less noise?
Max the Magnificent
I'd say "Would you like to buy a really nice historic bridge?" :-)
David Brown
One thing to remember is that shops make very little money on things like TVs, while "extras" like cables and "extended warranties" are almost all profit. You can view this in two ways - one is that buying cables in real-world shops will always be a rip-off compared to cheap on-line shops. But the other way to think is that if people don't buy such things, pretty soon there won't be any real-world shops to buy from. After all, if they are not making money then they will close down - and if they /are/ making money, it's because customers are paying more than the absolute minimum.
It's worth thinking about.
I take your point, but for me the isssue is value for money- If I don't get decent service, I might as well opt for no service.
Also I got a better price for a cable at Apple- hardly a discount retailer! (and I am sure it is compatible).
David Brown
I agree about service. I think it's worth paying a bit extra to help save local shops - but only those that are worth saving!
Duane Benson
Getting back to the original picture - that reminds me of an old joke.
In a grocery store situated in Cambridge, MA, between Harvard and MIT, a student-looking person stepped into the "10 items or less" line with 12 items. The checker looked at the customer and the 12 items and said: "Either you're from Harvard and can't count or you're from MIT and can't read."
Or how about the this checker: "I'm sorry sir, two 6-packs, a hotdog 10-pack and an 8-pack of buns is 30 items."
David Brown
My father was once buying beer in an off-license, and saw a sign saying 10% for crates of 12 bottles. So he bought two crates. The cashier counted out loud "10% off for this crate, 10% off for that crate - that's 20% off in total"!
I remember once having to help a cashier calculate the price for 50% off a £10 item.
Maybe the student assumed the 10 was a binary count, allowing him up to 16 items.
David Ashton
Binary? you mean Hexadecimal??
There are 10 kinds of people in the world....those who know Binary and those who don't..... ;-)
Max the Magnificent
My mother-in-law bought this for me on a T-Shirt...
...my wife didn't understand what it meant (sob sob)
That sign is being totally misinterpreted. That is the exclusive line for 15 dishwasher's gloves.
Seriously, though, they're probably just sick of people trying to 'stretch' the definition of 15. I know I'm frustrated when someone jumps into the x items or less lane they have x+5 items with them and the checkout operator just puts up with it rather than argue.
What would happen if stores adopted a policy of charging an additional 1% for each item over the limit?
Ooh, I like that. The issue is probably redundant now, at least in Australia. All of the stores that had 'x items or less' checkouts are converting them over to self-serve ones (which is probably another topic for another day, like when I saw them for the first time in Walmart and had to try it, only to accidentally double-scan an item and not be able to reverse it...the Australian ones seem to be a Mark II version where once scanned the system demands to feel the weight of the item on the 'Out' shelf before the next item can be scanned.)
David Ashton
Had the same problems in Woolies, Steve. Ended up swearing at the display and taking my items to the human checkout. I now refuse to use the self-serve ones on principle.
Ah! So Mas, that's where you curiosity comes from
Beware of coconuts that rattle....
Max the Magnificent
"Beware of coconuts that rattle...."
Also beware of men who say, "is that a coconut in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me"

Teenager finds a solution to massive food waste by 'brats who won't eat that apple'
September 26th, 2012
A student in Omaha, Neb., has identified a problem with school lunches — as well as a solution that could help solve an entrenched food waste issue in school cafeterias across the country.
In order to get the best price for a school lunch, kids are required to take one serving of a fruit or a vegetable to create a full meal. If they don't, they can end up paying higher ala carte prices.

Clueless Wonder Orly Taitz Appeals Again Surprise Surprise
"Standard Orly Operating Procedure" ("SOOP")
1st Ignore reality
2nd File as much crap as you can as fast as you can
3rd File everything as either an emergency motion or emergency appeal
4th Appeal everything
5th Accuse everyone of being a criminal
6th Lose anyway
This is the pattern that has been unbroken since Orly Taitz made her birfer début 3 years ago. And true to form, she has sent an "Emergency Appeal" to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp to set aside the recommendation issued by Judge Malihi in Farrar v Obama. As usual you can always find all of the birther court documents at "Jack Ryan's Scribd". (Thanks Jack!) And Orly's Emergency Appeal can be read in its entirety at Jack's "Here"
She begins (as usual) shouting (all in upper case) that the Judge is not just WRONG for not deciding in her favor, but "criminally wrong".
Again a clear case of "SOOP", and of course her screeching is not just directed at the Judge in this case. She fires off in all directions.
"Not only Obama did not show up at the proceedings and did not provide any certified copies of his vital records, also, Director of Health of the state of Hawaii, Loretta Fuddy did not show up at the proceedings and did not provide any records. Orly Taitz, Counsel for Plaintiffs, flew to Hawaii 5 times at her own dime and served the director of Health with Federal and state subpoenas. Director of Health refused to cooperate, refused to appear and refused to provide access to any vital records for Obama, even though he posted an alleged copy of his birth certificate on line and privacy considerations no longer applied. Based on the above facts, it is clear that the Director of Health of Hawaii and the Registrar are being complicit in either releasing a forgery or guilty of criminal cover up, whereby they are aware, that Obama's alleged copy of his birth certificate is a forgery, they have an affirmative duty to speak up and they did not do so."
She truly sounds very much like a 5 year old throwing a temper tantrum. "Waaaaahhhh they're all ignoring meeeeee".
"This behavior of judge Malihi was so outrageous, that not only his advisory opinion needs to be set aside, as not grounded in any fact or law, but state and county grand juries and the Attorney General of Georgia need to launch a criminal investigation into actions of judge Malihi and possible direct or indirect undue influence by Obama. Decision by Malihi reads, as if it was entirely written by Obama's personal attorneys Robert Bauer and Judith Corley of Perkins Coie and rubber stamped by Malihi. It is noteworthy, that both Robert Bauer and Judith Corley need to be criminally investigated as well, as both of them were complicit in aiding and abetting Obama in presenting to the public on April 27, 2011 a computer generated forgery and claiming it to be a true and correct copy of Obama's birth certificate. Such assumption by Malihi, that Obama was born in the U.S., without any documentary evidence to that extent from Obama, goes beyond an abuse of judicial disretion, it represents judicial misconduct."
"SOOP" Orly is always right, and everyone that does not agree with that is a criminal. She goes on in her "appeal" to re-plead her entire losing (full of shit) argument to the SOS and finally comes to her "Conclusions".
"Advisory opinion by judge Malihi is erroneous and represents a gross abuse of judicial discretion. Advisory opinion by judge Malihi was made in complete contradiction of all the facts of the case, state law, U.S. Constitution and known precedents and decisions by judge Malihi himself. It appears that the advisory opinion by judge Malihi was made as a result of some undue pressure from the defendant Obama, who as a sitting President has vast abilities to apply undue pressure on judges."
According to Orly EVERY Judge that she comes in contact with has been "pressured" by Obama. (Eyes Roll!)
"Advisory opinion by judge Malihi needs to be set aside. Obama should be prevented from appearing on the ballot, as he did not present any evidence to prove that he is a natural born citizen. No original identification and birth records were provided by defendant Obama, no certified copies were provided. No defense was provided whatsoever. Obama was in contempt of court. Obama should be excluded from the ballot in the state of GA."
I think the fact that she can't even win against an empty chair completely unopposed is really biting her ass.
"Case file with exhibits and court transcripts need to be forwarded to the County, State and Federal grand juries for criminal prosecution of Obama and any and all accomplices of Obama for elections fraud, uttering of forged and altered documents, obstruction of justice, wire fraud, Social Security fraud and conspiracy to commit aforementioned felonious acts. Criminal investigation of any undue influence on judge Malihi need to be launched by the investigative unit of the office of the Secretary of State and all of the above grand juries, as well as Attorney General of GA. Additionally, criminal investigation of actions of Director of Health of Hawaii Loretta Fuddy, Registrar Alvin Onaka, Deputy Attorney General Jill Nagamine, Commissioner of Social Security Michael Astrue and others involved in this matter, should be launched by the aforementioned grand juries and Attorney General of GA."
Orly not only wants the Georgia SOS to start criminal investigations of the POTUS, she wants him to go after officials in the state of Hawaii as well as the Social Security Administration. This idiot has no fucking clue what so ever!
Anyone want to bet on the outcome of this clueless wonder's latest appeal?
I thought not.

Greetings Mz Daisy,
As usual the facts are there but tin-foil Taitz misses the whole she-bang.
Didn't know she was half Irish!
*ducking now*
Since we all know the outcome of any future 'birfer litigation there is only one thing left to ask: Did Foggy share any of the smoked salmon with you?
H/T to you Ms. Daisy for coining and defining the term SOOP. Orly's pathological bad behavior is so utterly predictable now, that simply saying SOOP sums it all up, from now on.
I do expect this year will *finally* result in some more sanctions headed her way, as well as *finally* getting declared a vexatious litigant.
However, I suspect even that will barely slow down her SOOP.
Until the CA Bar finally gets a clue and strips her law license, I'm sure we'll be entertained and the courts will be bogged down with her frantic mad farce.
Orly is like an entire flock of pidgeons with massive diarrhea. She swarms in with a flitty fury and leaves a stinky, loose mess of crap everywhere she goes.- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2012 at 2:58 PM

Whoever wrote these inserts between paragraphs should be condemmed for critizing one for practicing the US Constitution. If one doesn't acknowledege the alleged facts that Taitz spelled out, then please do not call yourselves Americans.
ReplyDelete Anonymous I notice your use of the word "alleged" in regard to Orly's so-called "facts", and I hate to have to break it to you but her insane allegations are "proof" of nothing. Sorry to bust your bubble, but Orly Taitz wouldn't know a true "fact" if it walked up and bit her on the ass. Specifically the "fact" that there is no "proof" that any of her delusional allegations are even remotely based in reality. This is why she has lost every single case she has ever filed.
As my dear departed mother used to say, "She's as full of shit as a Christmas turkey".You are entitled to your own set of opinions, Anonymous, but not to your own set of facts. I am not a lawyer, but I can detect a crap argument a mile off, and Orly Taitz, on the basis of her recent filings, couldn't assemble a decent argument if her life depended on it. Most of her "facts" are allegations, often poorly constructed and riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, with support from a strange brew of discussions from every point of the compass, presumptions with no supported basis in fact, all glued together with pretentious statements assuming assent on the part of the reader. Nowhere in any of this pile of steaming feritlizer is there any coherent legal argument that a court would recognize as having validity. This is why the current scorecard on lawsuits for Orly and her rag-tag-and-bobtail collection of adherents is close to 0-100.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousFebruary 12, 2012 at 11:53 PM
As crazy as Orly is, she is crazy like a fox. Orly is right. It seems the left uses ridicule as a tool to silence. Obama has never showed any court his birth certificate, fake Social Security Number or Selective Service Registration. Something is going on. Obama should be held in contempt of court in Georgia like any other human.

So twilight is the only pony that doesn't have recolors of other ponys? How hard would it be to make each one individual, and charge a couple bucks more. I do like these, but poor fluttershy... She deserves better than just a rehash of dash with different colors.

F#$K. I was just next to a toys r us earlier today. Would have stopped in to check if I had known :| - August 17, 2011 at 7:40 PM
Cant decide if i want these, or ones that have brushable manes on em. How about... both! Tomorrow i begin my search for this after work.
- August 17, 2011 at 7:43 PM
Man, instead of the palette swaps, they should have had the CMC, a mini celestia, luna, and... TRIXIE!
Insta buy. Otherwise I just want the mane 6. - August 17, 2011 at 7:48 PM

Oh hecks yes. I'll have to call my local Toys R Us in the morning to see if they have it... I hope they do! :D

I've got the car tomorrow, but my local Toys R Us is extremely hit or miss. Since the site doesn't seem to list it yet, there's only one way to find out... (Also, *brohoof* to whoever reviewed the Pinkie plushie and actually put Ponyville, Equestria in for location, I loled)

- solobutterfly said...
The Toys 'R Us and Targets around here had very little stock of anything when I went and checked this past weekend, guess I'll just have to keep crossing my fingers because this is exactly what I was looking for.
- August 17, 2011 at 8:16 PM
I want this badly. Sadly, I have no idea where a Toys R' Us is located in Los Angeles... Do they take online orders?
- August 17, 2011 at 8:55 PM
- DJ Midli said...
@ everyone who commented, yes, however their stock is running near the end of its line, only the smaller/why the hell is there a zellers here still have some stock, and I have NEVER seen a fluttershy. they are selling them for 3.99 each, so in retrospect you may as well just get the 20 dollar toys r us box
And im going to speak from an ottawa perspective here, I did some pony hunting, Walmarts have absolutely nothing except a new playset, literally all their pegs are empty with the exception at Kanata wal-mart that has some of the new wave 3's. Toys R Us is carrying regular stock of the brushables however the one i checked today was out of the celestia box set. Winners is randomly carrying the lightup ponies(only confirmed this for the south keys location)
however NOWHERE. In canada is carrying any of the new stuff the states is getting at least when i checked, No princess luna, no pony blanket, and no pony pillows have migrated up to Canada. - August 17, 2011 at 8:55 PM
Could you possibly list the UPC barcode and/or the item number listed on the receipt? Methinks it'd make the hunt a bit less of a hassle... ;) - August 17, 2011 at 8:58 PM
There needs to be sets of the side characters. DJ P0N-3 with turntables that play remixes of the songs in the show; Ditzy (derpy) and Dinky with power muffin and delivery truck full of stuff; Lyra and BonBon with action bench. Plus, of course, a Fluttershy plushie that, when you squeeze her, says 'yay' or 'woohoo'.
- August 17, 2011 at 10:04 PM
- InfinityDash said...
@Silver Glade
Yes, please if someone who bought it could give us the item number that would be excellent. The first thing the person asked when I called TRU and asked if they had it in stock was "do you have the item number?" When I told them no, they basically said they couldn't help me without it, and to get the item number from the website and call back. (It was a fairly rude response but whateva) - So I drove there only to discover they didn't have it :(
I'll try again next week or so I guess. - August 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
I shame myself to even call myself a brony having only one MLP:FIM toy :( but that may change very soon as i do live here in Tucson and am actually heading into town tomorrow x3

- Decayed said...
Two things make me depressed about these new "clear bag / box" ponies. One is Fluttershy, WHY :((((((, and two is, why did they decide to randomly recolor them and make non-show related ponies out of nothing. Atleast give them the same colors as the background ponies and let us use our imaginations like we have to with Fluttershy. It is really that hard to make one more mold with Fluttershys hair? Also If they had Blindbag background ponies (show accurate) I would gladly pay 8-10 dollars for a plastic toy that would cost 10 cents to produce. Come on hasbro get your stuff together.
- August 17, 2011 at 10:24 PM
- Decayed said...
One more note, We should buy only buy Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, And Pinkie Pie, and none others (sorry fluttershy) To show hasbro that we only want Show related items. Otherwise they wont stop doing what they are doing because they know they will still get money either way.
- August 17, 2011 at 10:25 PM
Those look so much better than the current ones i have seen
they look like G4 Ponies not G3 recoloured to look like Rainbow Dash or whatever - August 18, 2011 at 12:11 AM
Fluttershy with the wrong hair, Applejack without a hat.. Hasbro could make a TON more money on these things if they knew how to properly take advantage of our demographic by putting a little more effort in and charging a little more to compensate. We're startlingly close to the demographic that pays $60-$100 for anime figurines, after all.
- August 18, 2011 at 12:59 AM
Massive amounts of ponies? Awesome.
20 bucks? Even more awesome.
Am I going to buy this?
Hell yes.
Yes. - August 18, 2011 at 1:24 AM
....So I work at TRU and I can find the item numbers. If anyone gets it first post it otherwise I will get them tomorrow and put them up. The one thing that sucks is it's not an online order through the site, but you can ask the customer service rep to see if they can do an "SOS" order. Sometimes stores get special warehouse lists that have items not found online or in store which can be found through an "SOS" order. If that doesn't work you can ask to see if another TRU store carries it and if so see if they can do a store to store transfer. Not all hope is lost. And if you are calling the best time to call is about twenty minutes after the store opens but avoid Fri-Sun. Stores are normally busy beyond belief during the weekends and most likely will be on hold for 10-20 mins as they attend to in store customers. Store shipments are random and they don't know exactly whats coming so asking about that is pointless. I hope this helps somewhat.
- August 18, 2011 at 3:04 AM
Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow after I pick up my paycheck.
Dang, now I have to re-prioritize my shopping list for the week. - August 18, 2011 at 3:20 AM
Oh man, I really hope I can find these around here and get a Dash in time to catch an autograph at this weekend's Hey Ocean concert.

She's far too shy to speak up for her own character model.
"Excuse me, uhm, Hasbro?"
"Yes, Flutterby? What is it?"
"It's, um... Fluttershy... And I was wondering... if it wouldn't be too much of a problem... if I could maybe have my own *mumble*..."
"I'm sorry dear, what is that?"
"I was wondering if I could have my own *squeaky mumble*..."
"I think you'll have to speak up, Shutterfly."
"*squeak*" - August 18, 2011 at 5:52 AM
Been to the Chadstone TRU and Kmarts (Melbourne) but no luck with this or any blind bags, will check out the Westfield TRU doncaster and possibly Knox City for any bronies down under
- August 18, 2011 at 7:56 AM
Just got back from a TRU run, but had no luck. Not surprised though, since I'm in Florida. Since all this merch arrives from China, it naturally shows up in west coast stores first. Once someone gets the item number it'll be a lot easier to harass my local store by phone, till they get them in.
- August 18, 2011 at 9:42 AM
- HopeForHyrule said...
I totally want/need these, but I do not want Fluttershy. The other ones look pretty good, but why can't they create an actual Fluttershy? It's not hard, Hasbro! I need a Fluttershy with her mane and a less...Dash-y expression on her face. -.-

and the name is MLP Kiosk Pony, retailing at 19.99 plus tax.
I wish this could be voted up, but as it is, this is the information. I found no luck calling my TRU's, but hopefully this will help somepony. - August 18, 2011 at 2:23 PM

I don't have any official pony merch at the moment, but I think I would probably buy this set if I found it here in Australia.
It would be nice if Fluttershy looked more accurate, though. - August 18, 2011 at 3:52 PM

My local Toys'R'Us in Lynnwood, WA says that this region (WA and OR) draw their stock from California warehouses, and the California warehouses don't even have them yet. They expect local WA stores to get their first shipments in 2-3 weeks.

- PavFeira said...
Ahaha... so in making my local rounds, hunting for this kiosk set, I went to the Milford CT store yesterday. It wasn't on the shelves so I went to customer service, and handed the nice lady a slip of paper with the item's name and number. Without looking at her computer, she sighs and hands it back to me. Apparently I was the third person to ask her about this kiosk set *that day alone*, and no, she already checked, no stores in the region have it.
Disappointed that so many of us are still empty handed, but I'm loving the persistence of My Little Bronies :P - August 21, 2011 at 11:21 AM

Dee Dee Makes DJ's Dream Come True!
Dee Dee Makes DJ's Dream Come True!
Former Pan's People member Dee Dee Wilde helped make a fan's dream come true when she came to Weymouth Harbour in Dorset last Wednesday ( 9th May 2012 ) to meet PP.com moderator PJ ( Lee & Mary Fan ) and his friends on board Weymouth Charter boat Als Spirit where PJ was holding his 3rd radio event for Special Music Radio.
We then all set off for a splendid pub meal further along the harbour at The Ship Inn. Everyone got on very well and the conversations were flowing as we waited for our meals. I was a little on edge knowing that one of my greatest idols was sitting next to me, but Dee Dee soon put me at ease with her warm personality. I must add that Dee Dee looked very stylish and very beautiful and that Henry Marsh is a very interesting man and has a great sense of humour, as indeed has Dee Dee.
Henry and Dee Dee with presenter Nancy after receiving their thank you gifts.

Better than Jim'll Fix It
Isn't it great that dreams sometimes do come true, and that that means for grown-ups too. Meeting our heroes is not usually possible, well done Dee Dee and Henry for being such good sports and well, PJ, what a coup!
I should be able to work this out myself, but in case anybody knows, which instrument did Henry play in the band? I thought that their drummer had a short part in the Dustin Hoffmann film Tootsie, as an English stage director, but no, it wasn't really him.
Even my kids could tell me that.
Lovely Day
Yes, There arnt many stars like Dee Dee who take the time to meet a fan and make a dream come true.
What a lovely lady she is.
Dee Dee, if you get to read this, Thank You for taking part and maiking it one of the happiest days of my life.
Just thought I would move this to the top of the pile again. Much more interesting than my comments over on the chat thread.
I find it amazing how many of these dancers are kind hearted enough to make their fan's days so long after the work finished. I bet they never thought that they were signing up for a job for life when they became members of dance troupes.
Thanks for sharing the story of your special day with us LMF. I hope that interview makes it too the airwaves in the not too distant future.
Dee Dee looks stunningly beautiful
Hey L&M Fan - utterly wonderful photos & write up. Don't you think you should now become D D Fan?.LOl!!....what can I say but I am sooooooo impressed.Fabulous Pantastic photos of Dee Dee & the whole Ships crew & wow! L&MF snuggled up real close to gorgeous Dee Dee -am I jealous!? am I what !!! you bet !.
Really interesting to read the day's events & a slap up meal at 'The Ship's Inn' . Then all on board 'Als Spirit' for the radio Interview.I bet Henry was happy him being a former 'Sailor' (geddit!! lol).Dee Dee looks really pleased & does seem to have had a splendid time as everyone does.
So I really look forward to hearing this interview - hoping a link will be provided on here sometime in the future.
Well done L&MF & thankyou for an excellent occasion which is lovely to see on here - The place to be for all the latest Pan's People news & views.
Thank You
Thank You Flight14 for your kind comments.
Yes, it was truely wonderful to meet Dee Dee and Henry, both lovely people.
The pub meal was a lot of fun, I felt so proud to be sat next to Dee Dee, the pub The Ship In is very Nautical with lovely ship lamps and Portholes in the doors...so yes, I guess our Star Sailor ( sorry about that ) Henry felt right at home.
I was too excited to eat all of my meal, lol.
I kept it pretty much a secret about Dee Dee and Henry visiting Weymouth and it was lovely that it was nice and private for the special guests to enjoy their meal and have an enjoyable converstation with everyone.
The weather wasnt too good, but it wasnt very far to walk back to the boat for the interview, unfortunatly, the wheelhouse where we had the studio set up isnt very big so not everyone could fit in, I think have of the DJs ended up over the road from the boat in The Sailors Return ( maybe thats a good sign that Henry will someday return to Weymouth with Dee Dee ).
I must say what good sports our lovely guests were, they were really having a great time and they really felt like part of the crew of Special Music Radio.
When we held the first event in Weymouth back in Sept 2007, I had no idea of what magic would lie ahead for the 3rd event.
Hopefully, some of the programmes will be heard before too long.
Pure Magic ! L&MF .
Pure Magic ! L&MF . Dee Dee looks really beautiful.Wow it must have been a dream come true for you to meet her & the photos look wonderful & you can almost feel the waves bobbing & the ship's bell clanging.Thankyou for sharing this lovely meeting with us all L&MF.......
All we needed was Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart to turn up with his eyepatch & say "Oh arr me hearties!" LOL!......
Thanks for that, lol, yes, Ed Stewart would of been great to have on board with us.....that would of taken him back to his Radio London ( Big L ) days in the 1960s.
I dont think Als Spirit has a ships bell, if it did, that would of taken me back to the days I spent on board Radio Carolines ship Ross Revenge between 1991 - 2005, Caroline is famous for its Top of the hour ships bell jingle....maybe we should of used a bell jingle....now thats an idea for next year.
Ive just re-writen this repley as my last one was gobblygook as I was watching Top Of The Pops at the same time as typeing...must of been the lovely Legs & Co. making me lose concerntation, lol.
Well done, L & MF
What a fantastic story - it's great to know that dreams can come true! Dee Dee looks stunning. You've done yourself - and the website - proud.
Great photos. too.
Dee Dee falls into that unique category of being a celebrity that is still down-to-earth and prepared to take time out for her fans.
Thanks L & MF and thanks Dee Dee
Thanks Gary
I remember standing on the back deck waiting for Dee Dee & Henry to arrive with my stomach turning over with nerves like a Cement Mixer!!, once they arrived, most of those feelings ended as both Dee Dee were so friendly and down to earth, I only had the feeling of excitment.
I can now reveal......I had some Promos and Jingles produced for this very website which were featured on every programme we produced, all recorded onto Minidiscs.
Before we arrived at Weymouth, the Presenters asked me what music format are we going to use, my repley was your choice, just play what you feel is right, so we had a fine mixture of great music from the late 1960s to the present day, quality pop, soft rock, 1970s soul & disco, Indie pop/rock hits and album tracks.....light years away from your every day radio stations that play the same music day in...day out.
Dee Dee & DJ
That's great news about the promos and jingles, L & MF. You've done something really special for the website, and no-one can take any credit but yourself. Well done, mate. You've always been very loyal to this website and the Weymouth event just proves how far your loyalty goes.
I Love This Website
Thanks Gary,
Well, its the least I can do for a website I love and the members I have made friends with, Im proud to promote and incorperate the site into the programmes.
Henrys T Shirt
If anyone is wondering what Henry is holding in the picture, its the latest Radio Caroline T Shirt.
Hi Panfan,
No, Als Spirit isnt permanently moored up, its a fully working Weymouth Charter boat, my studio set up was housed on the boats wheelhouse Table and built into a MDF mobile unit which is used for events, this year we had speakers on the back deck which was fun for the crew on the back deck.
Yes, there is a small, modern boat steering wheel, but nothing like you see on old ships.
Last year we set out to sea for around five hours, so Special Music Radio went Offshore, although the programmes never went out live, they were put out a week later on the Internet by the now defunt Radio Samantha.
you lucky man ,lee and mary
you lucky man ,lee and mary fan ,what a wonderful experience it must have been to meet dee dee in person ,im very pleased this event happened for you , a nice, good bloke like you deserved this wonderful experience ,well done mate
Thanks Jez
Thank You Jez,
It was so hard keeping this a secret for so long.
This years event is dedicated not only to Pans People/all TOTP dancers but to all the members at panspeople.com and that sentiment comes from my heart.
I tried to remeber everyone I corrispond with in the Hellos/dedications, I have a terrible memory, so anyone I left out was only due to me being a scatterbrain....I had writen a very long list of members and I forgot to bring it to Weymouth along with a couple of important Jingles!!.
Nice to hear from you Jez.
Good stuff L&MF. Great to
Good stuff L&MF. Great to read about your fantastic day.
Well done
Well done, LMF! Sometimes you just have to ask! As usual I am jealous, lol, but I still hope I will be able to hear this broadcast one day. Just watching those pictures let my mind wander and imagine I'd be there too!
Hats off to PJ!
Well done PJ for pulling the coup of the decade, and fulfilling a lifelong dream while sharing it with us here!
Cracking photo's too, I can't imagine how good it must have felt for you to meet Dee Dee. Meeting someone who you admire can be very exciting but sometimes nervy, and the experience while usually over within minutes leaves you with a cherished memory which lasts a lifetime.
But to spend the afternoon, at your invitation, with Dee Dee and have dinner too is off the scale! I don't think I could have eaten a mouthful.
Dee Dee sure does look gorgeous, classy and so very stylish. Even if you didn't know who she is, you would know she is somebody (if that makes sense!).
Very cool to have Henry from Sailor there too, one of the more memorable acts from the 70's.
I'm looking forward to hearing the interviews, and of any future adventures!
Nice one PJ!
Added Congrats
It's all been said but congratulations to you L&MF and thanks so much for sharing this special day with the gracious Dee Dee and Henry. You deserve a "Glass of Champagne" or actually the whole darn bottle
That'd be One Drink Too Many
That'd be One Drink Too Many for me!
Well Deserved L&MF
Well deserved L&MF,
so chuffed for you,wonderful story to read, to meet an idol must be an incredible feeling.
Some special memories for you now to cherish always.
(I can still dream of meeting Patti one day,(well,you never know!!).
Well Done.
Thanks Everyone
Thank You to each of you who have added such lovely and kind comments about my artical, it really means a lot to me.
We had the boat Als Spirit on hire for three days, Dee Dee and Henry joinned us on the final day, so it was something to look forward to for the last day.
I was amazed by the tallent of the presenters Mandy, Nancy, Iain and Paul who produced some fabulous programmes and added far more imagination than msot everyday radio presenters, an interesting music selction and some micky taking of each other.
Im not up to the high standard of the mentioned presenters, but I did my best, I am quite a shy person and to sit there and announce a dedication to Sue, Mary and Dee Dee ( which I did by the way ), wasnt easy, my heart was pounding and I was trying hard not to get tongue tied as I said Hello to the girls, but it was fun, people walking by along the Harbour every so often stopped and watched as they wondered what on earth was going on, I had a set of audio speakers on the back deck.
The picture Panfan has used for the News Story Banner I have just had enlarged to poster size and have had it framed, I think Dee Dee looks so stunning and to see her sat at my studio mixer is just mind blowing.
Once again Thanks for all the lovely comments : )
Meeting Dee Dee
I'm pleased everything went well, Lee and Mary Fan. Dee Dee looks especially lovely in that picture. It won't happen in this life but I remain hopeful of A Wonderful Time Up There, as Pat Boone might say, when the time comes. Including the chance to see those missing shows, of course.
Fellow Top of the Pops legend Jimmy Savile visited my High School once (William Gladstone in North West London) but I didn't get to speak to him. I also remember the Spanish guitarist Juan Martin performing for us. Both Late 1970s, I guess.
Love and Best Wishes to Dee Dee and Henry if they see this account of your special day.
Thanks Cornershop
Thanks Cornershop,
It went far better than I ever imagined.
The event took many months of planning, the final few weeks esp, I was very busy, thats why I havent been so active on the site, its been frustrating as Ive wanted to comment on the many fabulous items which has been added to the site but just havent had the time, that is about to change.
Please keep on finding all those rare treats Cornershop.
Another 'rare find'
Still doing my best, Lee and Mary Fan:
Pan's People dancers Dee Dee Wilde and Cheral Gillespie
Dated 9th August 1975. Their routine that week was Gladys Knight and The Pips' Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me.
Nice Pictures
Thanks Cornershop & Andy, nice pictures of Dee Dee, she always has a lovely big smile.
What a lovely dream come true :)
I'm so thrilled for you, PJ.
It's fantastic how Dee Dee agreed to your request and made the day out for you and the others so special. :)
Weymouth is also a lovely part of the south of England. I've been there on occasions in the past and always enjoyed my visits there. I must turn back the clock and re-visit the town again.
If you're reading this forum, Dee Dee, thanks for making PJ's day so happy and enjoyable. :)
Thanks Boogiebox
Hi Claire,
Thank You for your nice comments, yes, it was really lovely of Dee Dee to come along and take part, but thats the kind of person Dee Dee is - thoughtful and kind.
I am pleased you also like Weymouth, my favourite area is the Harbour.
I am still waiting for my friend Mandy to edit and remix the interview with Dee Dee, once its ready I will it to Panfan.
You just see some more pictures from the event in coming weeks : )
Always a pleasure to read your comments.
You're welcome, PJ :)
Likewise to you with your comments.
It's a joy to be here to post and read messages, see photos and footage.
I hope you get to meet Dee Dee again one day. You never know, but I'm delighted you enjoyed your day with her.
I must take a trip to Weymouth again asap. It's a while since I've been there, but a very peaceful part of the country.
I look forward to your friend Mandy's edit and remix of the Dee Dee interview and the pictures from the event in due course. :)

The village is a complex of several hotel/condo buildings. I am not sure how many of them and how each of them is called. There is one underground parking and it's areas are color coded for different buildings. I stayed in the "Peak 9 Inn".

I know most of you are on holiday but I want to crack this one before I pause for a break. Tinkering with the last two verses:
tobacco kept with crabs in a pail
While a pincer grabs
At the tail
Of the moon on the wall
And the red
Bait-hungry lobster crawls
To the (whisky soaked?) trap
Now fated/doomed/destined
To peer out through the cuckoo gap
Each hour, quarter .tide .moontide?
That's better. Now for a fresh look and listen.
Inside the smell of dried fish. Outside
The crescent moon in the blank of night.
Inside the click of crab pincers. Outside
The sea of lobster pots
Inside, the clock, the wireless, the claw.
Outside the salt sea
- no I want the salt sea in those saucers:
Inside the salt sea in saucers. Outside
The rock pool, small shivering moon.
small and shivering took me a while to decide on. Rock pols are rarely still, even on a calm day. And the Orkneys are known for their winds which have blown chickens all the way to Norway.
Ive been re-reading some of the poems set for AS with a home / house / interior theme and one of the questions I asked was whether any of the poems could be re-written in the style of another poem from the group. I am reminded at this point of the game in Im Sorry I Havent A Clue where a panellist has to sing the lyrics of one song to the tune of another.
Having raised the question, Im now intrigued. And I dont like to set challenges which Im not prepared to try myself
So, my first attempt is to consider Finlays surreal poem and see if there is any way it might be translated into MacNieces very spare, clipped style.
Indoors the smell of dried fish. Outdoors
Indoors the click of crab pincers. Outdoors
Perhaps inside and outside would be better and keep the connection without sounding quite so much like the original. Id like to keep some sense of the characters locked away feelings. The lobsters imprisoned in the lobster traps?

Venue/Location: Floating World Comics, 400 NW Couch St., Phone: 503-241-0227
Date: Saturday, June 16, 2012 - 6:00 PM
Captain Picard Day!
Free to the public
Doors at 6:00pm, Judging at 7:30pm
An art contest to honor the greatest captain to ever command the Enterprise... Jean Luc Picard!
Here is the idea... a bunch of people gather at Floating World Comics with some awesome Captain Picard themed art that they made. Captain Picard paintings. Captain Picard scultpures. Captain Picard interpretive dances. Then we stand around saying holy crap, this is great, what a wonderful world I live in that there is this much Captain Picard themed art.
Then some prizes are awarded.
Floating World was absolutely amazed with how great the first Captain Picard Day turned out. Incredible art, awesome people. It was a magical evening. Let's do it again.
Make it so!

Great BC
By Brue8158
from New York, NY
Very comftorable BC. Friend of mine borrowed it for a wreck dive in the great lakes and bought one when he got back. Well constructed, comfortable both diving and wearing to the water, distributes the weight of the tank, lead, and anything else you have on the BC well.

The fit was spot on thanks to the staff at Leisure Pro. Easily adjustable and lots of features. The movable D rings are great.

Oh, important! Also noticed that if you put an enemy to drop food during the elevator, it won't drop anything. Why? I don't even know. But this elevator part of the SORmaker engine it's way too bugged.
Yeah i agree. These bugs alog with the others could fill their own thread. I think i found a new one today with the diagonal camera sticking after downward-upward motion...But yeah, we could really do with a patch of some sort. It would make things a little more easier and the mods better overall.
