Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Feb. 09 2008, 03:03 Judging by the curious silence on the matter, maybe nobody else is bothered by this, but... why is the Music of the Spheres forum now located above Hergest Ridge? I can understand placing the newest release at the top for convenience sake, but - if that's the case - then why is it below Tubular Bells? Does nobody else care that chronology has been upheaved (uphoven? uphooved?) or - even scarier - am I the only one who sees it this way? -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Feb. 09 2008, 05:57 You're right, it has moved. How weird! Wonder if the Admin's are trying to put it near the top of the list for a while to make it more prominent? -------------- "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

Ebony Group: Members Posts: 172 Joined: June 2007 Posted: Feb. 09 2008, 11:45 How strange.  I've only just noticed this, but now I know I find myself wanting to move it back. (Sweetpea - I'd go with 'upheaved'.  I think 'uphooved' may be the result of erroneously sucking something important up the vacuum cleaner...) Back to top

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Feb. 10 2008, 04:17 Ahhhh. Once again, all is right with the Tubular world. Order has been restored and I got several sympathetic and helpful responses to my concerns. Matt & his cheese are back (missed ya! ) with a possible solution to the mystery. Dirk posits a sensible alternative, a bit tongue-in-cheekily. Ebony reveals a talent for wordplay and that she's been listening to too much Amarok. And Moz offers what may be the most logical use of "uphooved" I've yet seen. Not that I'd bet my life on any of these explanations, but still... you guys are great. (PS: The administrators are pretty neat, too. Thanks! ) -------------- "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. 10 2008, 04:56 I was shocked by the drastic uphoovement when it was pointed out, but, like Ebony, I now find myself wondering whether the subsequent de-uphoovement was a good idea after all. To uphoove, or not to uphoove? That is the question. The whole issue of the ethics of uphoovementation (not to mention de-uphoovementation) is still very much disputed by philosophers, I believe. Ladies. Gentlemen. Declare yourselves. Are you an uphoovementationalist, or a de-uphoovementationalist? Or ... [sly, sideways, knowing look] ... don't you want us to know? Back to top

clotty Group: Members. Posts: 237 Joined: Mar. 2006 Posted: Feb. 10 2008, 14:48 Alan, so glad that you highlighted the correct term above. For so long now, I've been incorrectly using the word 'uphooverality' rather than 'uphoovementation'. I am just SO embarassed. -------------- Clotty Back to top

Upheaved  - isn't that something that only happens on a boat? Uphooved - yes that is what horses do when they escape - they find a local farmers field - one that has just been planted with a new seed crop, then they role on their backs waving their hooves in the air - hence the saying - The horse is feeling so good he uphooved and ran off!   (his name is Bentley by the way, and he has a big brown face!...) Not sure Updysoned fits too well though?!?!?   -------------- Looking out over the harbour in Peel....... Back to top

I am just SO embarassed. Don't give yourself grief over it, Chris. It's a very common mistake, and to tell the truth [shaking my head with a wry smile], I used to make it myself ... But I think you'll find your life is much richer, now. Uphoovementationally speaking, I mean. Back to top

And "upHenryed" just sounds plain wrong!!   To thwart the risk of causing controversy (and possibly uphooval?) I think I shall keep my stance on uphoovementationalism to myself for the time being.
