It's a bleeding annoyingly noisy little so-and-so!

Oh good!: erm...

Once, just once my personal assistant in my last Education job, wrote in reply to an email from me typed 'wtf'. I was a bit surprised but maybe I'd been a tad pompous to her. She left when I retired and is now Anna's P.A. in the NHS.

But I feel this is an opportunity to say 'wtf' in response to the above post. (Again) I don't understand what you are saying Phil, except that you appear to need to say something/anything whenever I make a post.

It's a song by Halsey.

No therefore, your words just reminded me of a song.

Simples. (like me)

What I find almost interesting is why that song (which I admit to having never heard) was in Phil's collection of songs who's lyrics he can remember.

My mind is full of things that I don't know, till something prompts it.

At the classic car club quiz on Thursday night, one question showed a man at a drawing board and his name sounded Italian. The question - what was his contribution to motor vehicles ?

At the very last second desmodromic valve gear popped into my head, and at the end of the round my answer was right. :)

It could have been a lucky guess though. :lol:

That description makes me think Taglioni but that's just me. Who was it?

That's the man, but according to Wiki he only developed it for Ducati, not pioneered it.
