German training video

This is not suitable for young people or the squeamish so I haven’t published it on my main blog http://thanetonline.blogspot.com/ but as I had to get a forklift truck licence years ago I couldn’t miss sharing this with a few of my old chums from those days.

I am having problems posting pictures hosted on my own site on my thanetonline blog so this is an experiment.

Purple seagulls the Fanit youf hypotheses

There is a bit of an odd discussion here as to whether vanadium in it’s + 2 oxidation stage hydrolytic acid causing it to disassociate, the fume cupboard venting onto Chatham Houses roof was what caused the seagulls there to turn purple.

I am coming down on the side that potassium permanganate must have been involved, there is also an iodine school of thought here.

Anyone got any ideas?

Doctors advice

There is a lot more medical advice going round the Thanet blogs at the moment so I thought it was my turn.

By following the simple advice I heard on a Medical TV show, I havefinally found inner peace.A Doctor proclaimed the way to achieve innerpeace is to finish all the things you have started.

So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn'tfinished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off abottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a butleof vocka, a pockage of Prunglies , tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valumscriptins, the res of the Chesescke an a box a chocolets.

Smoke on the Water

One of the things one has to do as a parent is to teach ones children things that one isn’t good at, with my two six year olds this weekend this has been the guitar.

If like me you you are pretty much tone deaf, the invent of electronic guitar tuners and tablature is a godsend that allows one to play music immediately, that sounds reasonably ok.

For those of you unfamiliar with guitar tab the lines represent the guitar strings, the thickest string being represented by the bottom line and the numbers represent the frets the little line over 6 5 means you slide your finger from the 6th to the 5th fret after you have plucked the string and the 0 means you don’t press down on the fret board at all but play the string open, that’s about it really.

So now they are both learning Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water, the one string version to start with, tablature above, as it’s on one string the guitar doesn’t have to be in tune for it so sound reasonably ok.
