The 'other' Inspector has never been on this forum, though his first appearance was, I think, on the predecessor to this one. He then moved to the BBC boards and r3ok. In fact, I'm not sure that there wasn't a third manifestation of him at one pointOriginally posted by Beef Oven! View Post

Missing but not dead, yet
I'm sure, many members will be in shock, but I'm still in the land of the living, having now undergone a life changing situation. A very positive one though. More later.
I am very saddened today by the death of Tony Benn, someone I admired, and having met him, and been able to spend an hour or two with him a few years ago, I feel the world is a much worse off place without him. But I will say no more, having been saddened by some of the negative comments made on another thread by a couple of contributors.
I have been missing for about 15 months or more. I'm now pleased to say that i have managed to throw off the shackles of music and the arts generally, and have been pronounced by experts to be tone deaf, mentally unsound, and to have no knowledge of anything to do with music and the arts generally. Something I'm sure many people on this forum realised a long time ago.
My re-birth came after I decided to put away the dreaded fiddle in March 2013 and I signed the pledge never to attempt to play the damned thing again, and also to stop listening to music, and turn a deaf ear to all elitist undertakings. I've now turned back in time to an 11 year old. I have to say, it is wonderful.
I now roam the countryside with a seven year old who really knows how to live, and charm the whole world, except occasionally, the odd Muslim. This has been happening since Shakespeare's birthday on 23rd April 2013, and has resulted in the loss of over 16 pounds in weight and a 100% improvement in health. This is because I walk 6-7 plus miles every day. I realised that time spent trying to pursue a musical ideal was time wasted. A 100% waste.
Perhaps more later, but I'm being tempted and indeed badgered, for another walk.Comment

Great to hear of this welcomed if mysterious re-birth, Ariosto. I should however say that even Muslims are easier to charm than odd ones, and that I started listening to Schoenberg at age 12. But forearmed is forewarned.Originally posted by Ariosto View PostComment
