Morn’

I love using open source apps. Something weird going on, search GitHub, found workaround and can track progress.

Opensource has taken over the world 🙂

ooh angry cavemen

@ben.hammond is your office near a 'spoons?

there's one about a mile away from my house

if that's what you mean

or do you mean the Juxt Milton Keynes office? there's one in MK

BrewDogs in both locations also

(not that I'm fan of Tim Martin)

@ben.hammond it was entirely a joke about angry cavemen (and me thinking you were noticing them out your window)

and I'm not a fan of Tim Martin either

I heard that Mike Oldfield put the angry caveman bit into Tubular Bells because Branson insisted on a track that listeners could sing along to

no idea if that's accurate

but it ought to be true

(and that seems to be enough nowadays)

…and that bass part hard work for seven minutes. Love TB.

was disappointed when I discovered that voice wasn't Vincent Price

TBII released 28 years ago 😭

@ben.hammond Nah, it was Viv Stanshall. Sir Henry At Rawlinson End is a joy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Henry_at_Rawlinson_End_(recording)

"This lurid work is made entirely of tiny pieces of egg shell... and, look... if we scrape a little bit of it off... beneath, we can find hidden... a 17th century underpiece!" (from memory)... my favorite part of Tubular Bells 🙂
