^ As a blues, I'd represented it with a single small frowny face but removed it as it was barely discernible.

That means a lot, Bob, thanks.

^ It's the scribbles of a madman on notepaper while Meddle plays.  So no not really.

Can these characters can form a coherent review by being put in some order? That would be neat-o.

Thanks man.  Yeah it is absolutely bonkers, which was exactly the point.

That said, admin have been very lenient and patient with my current psychosis, and I appreciate it.

I don't know any details, though I could see how such a review would not fit guidelines. I just got back from what should have been a 30 minute trip with my kids where my car broke down on the remote highway, lucky for me the two truck driver got there fast, but for the curious and if you didn't save it, I found it in google's cache:

Meddle Review

Very experimental. Wonder if I can paste it here while keeping the formatting.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

^ Sorry David, I'm currently on Jury Service so don't get to spend as long online as I normally do so some correspondences have been unfortunately overlooked - apologies.

Thank god you said something, I thought I'd quite pissed you off.  I figured Floyd + cooking = Dean but then realized you'd just as likely hate it.

However, I have to admit I had my reservations over his WYWH review when he first showed it to me mainly because it would never go with pasta.

I would think not, a tetrahedron even harder. I hope people don't imitate you, though, as I don't know if it would be good for this to be the shape of things to come.
