'Cause, to me, he comes across as at least 28! 6) And just how old is Alan D? 7) Is Matt's puppy, Misty, the cutest thing? 8) Will the first person to post in the new MOTS forum receive a prize?? -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Nov. 04 2007, 04:36 It's often said that the whole of Western philosophy is just a footnote to Plato and Aristotle, because it's the same old, same old unanswerable questions going round, time and again. So it is, with these. You'll probably find something about them in Plato's Republic. Back to top

Must have happened that time my dunce cap slipped over my eyes and wouldn't come off. I knew those people were up to something when they said they'd help. That's the last time I let anyone solve anything with magic beans. Plato...wasn't that a Greek washing up liquid? Back to top

Hope everything is going well for you all, great pictures in the other thread (naming of her etc) loved the one of her pulling hard on the toy, I know that look very well with my little puppy! And her name does suit her. -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning.... You heard me before Yet you hear me again Then I die Till I call me again Back to top

Onion, return please! 8) prize for first MOTS forum post, probably a lovely letter from RIAA or similar, maybe even hand delivered! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Plato was Greek, so we get points for that. He almost certainly did the washing up (or he had a slave who did, also possibly Greek) - so more points for that. But I doubt if he ever washed up any liquid, so I think you might be wrong there, Korg. Continuing this amazing bonanza of lateral thinking: it's not commonly known that 'Plato' was the name of the first part of an album by Moke Ildfoeld. (The second part was called 'Num'.) Back to top

Quote It's often said that the whole of Western philosophy is just a footnote to Plato and Aristotle, because it's the same old, same old unanswerable questions going round, time and again. At first, I thought Alan was inferring he was a contemporary of Plato. Quote I knew those people were up to something when they said they'd help. That's the last time I let anyone solve anything with magic beans. "Beans, beans, are good for your heart The more you eat, the more you... are smart?" And as lovely as Hayley is, can she really compete with the shedding and slobbering charms of a Cavalier King Charles? Maybe don't answer that. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Nov. 23 2007, 15:32 Oh, wow, I'm impressed that I sound like I'm 28. But hey, that's what the Internet does to you. Well, I guess that's good, though. It means I'm probably speaking coherently. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Actually, I've recently come into possession of it.  About time!  What I've heard so far is awesome, but I haven't given it what I call a "proper listen" yet because 1: I can't go 15 mins without listening to part 4 of Platinum, and 2: I've got 2 2000 word philosophy essays to write (one of which is on Plato, funnily enough...)

But hey, that's what the Internet does to you The internet adds six years to everybody? Boy, am I in trouble. Then again, at least it's not six pounds. Quote (Alan D @ Nov. 23 2007, 16:10) Sorry ... Could you just explain that again? Alan, you might just need to increase the text size. It's those extra six years, you know. Quote (Ebony @ Nov. 23 2007, 17:30) What I've heard so far is awesome, but I haven't given it what I call a "proper listen" yet Wow. I didn't start enjoying it until my fifth or sixth try. Quote (Ebony @ Nov. 23 2007, 17:30) I can't go 15 mins without listening to part 4 of Platinum Hehe. And I thought I had it bad. Quote (Ebony @ Nov. 23 2007, 17:30) I've got 2 2000 word philosophy essays to write (one of which is on Plato, funnily enough...) So one 1000 word essay on Hergest Ridge should be a breeze! Quote (The Big BellEnd @ Nov. 24 2007, 14:04) I think that surely the word intimidating got there by mistake, could it be possible that you meant either sensitive or understanding. Yes. Yes, that's exactly what I meant. And good-looking, too. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Feb. 23 2008, 01:14 * Does Alan D realize that he has surpassed all other TB-ers (including the Korg-man) in postage? Although I'm sure such an achievement is of little significance to him, I feel a congratulations is in order. Well done, Alan - not merely for being a prolific poster, but for being so generous with your help, your witteries, and your profundities. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Feb. 23 2008, 04:17 Oh good grief, you're right! I'm not sure whether I'm proud of my persistence (in which case, thank you) or appalled by my garrulity (in which case, don't encourage me). So this is why I never wrote that Great Novel.
