I'm pretty certain the use of the word in regards to the 'score' of a sports match goes back to the early days of cricket in England.

For illiterate peasants and/or those unable to afford or have access to pen and paper, a  notch or a 'score' would be made on a stick to permanently record the number of runs a batsman had made.

I'd imagine 'top notch' and 'a cut above' have similar etymologies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oaf Topik ...

I miss that witty personage.

I don't know. I don't have 2020 vision.

Haven’t been around much as recovery from my bypass op has taken much longer than anticipated. I had been fainting and the drs were unable to find out why until just last week. I had another fainting episode whilst being monitored. 

I’ve been having ventricular pauses that last for 4 or more seconds. On Monday I had a pacemaker implanted and i feel like a new man. Seems not only the plumbing (coronary arteries) was stuffed but the electrical system was stuffed as well.

 i feel like I haven’t felt in decades. Still limited by my back problems but i can finally move without gasping for air and feeling like my heart (even after the bypass) was going to bust out of my chest.

 Ahh. Feels good to feel good.

Glad to hear that Mike - onwards and upwards from here hopefully!

Don't overdo it just yet though mate, I'd limit it to just two marathons a month for the time being ☺️

Hey Kenny, are you using PhotoShop?  If so, here's a quick tip:  Once you have an object selected (I was just noticing the white edge around Gilmour's guitar on the last page), you can adjust the selection edge.  Just go to the Select menu, then Refine Edge (or Alt-Ctrl-R) and play around! 👍😉

Actually, this could be considered the fourth iteration.  Once upon a time, back in the old days of Middle Earth, there was a Coffee House, but it was shut down due to the behavior of the unevolved primates posting there.  Then the Old Masters had pity on the unwashed masses and brought it back (as linked by Strummy above).  Then, dark clouds appeared in the distance and there was great panic and fear that all would be wiped out, so the Mighty Bapu led a tattered few to a new island where yet another Coffee House was created HERE but then the wasted lands of the forefathers were taken up by the Kingdom of Bandlab and, as a nod to the past, a new Coffee House was created (which you have just discovered!). 😉

Ah yes, the abridged version 🙄

Craig (ITIYRN), please could you pad this out a bit to include:

1. A lengthy explanation of why Bapsi's post count can never be a prime number
2. An exhaustive list of every aside, put down and justified criticism ever levelled at the concept and embodiment of Forum Hosts by yer old mate Strummy
3. A comprehensive dissertation on the CH's discovery of the mythical Am note
4. How, in the year 2010, Jonbouy earned more in impromptu fees, taxes and expenses than the combined GDP of several medium-sized Latin American countries
5. Daveny5 ..... why?
6. A none-too-brief and thoroughly 'well done' thesis on the assumed contents of that folder

That's better eh Mike 😉

It was originally HERE before Bandlab acquired what was left of Cakewalk.

At least it's not as bad as when you posted the one drawing attention to *that* folder.

 

If I remember correctly - and I do - it was you who first spotted the offensive item in his screenshot 🙄

And then thought, "I know, I'll tell Strummy about this - he'll get in trouble 'cause I know he'll screenshot the bejasus out of that and post it all over the internet" 😕

No wonder CakeAlexS showed me no lurve whatsoever but though you was the best thing since sliced Guinness.
