    4. Beneath, Between & Behind
    5. Fly By Night
    6. Bastille Day
    7. Lakeside Park
    8. 2112 Overture / The Temples of Syrinx
    9. A Passage to Bangkok
    10. The Twilight Zone
    11. Xanadu
    12. Closer to the Heart
    13. Cinderella Man
    14. Circumstances

    Post-Power Windows I found their music to be decent, but not on the same level.

    Great stuff, @FoxRox! Seems to encompass almost all of my favorites. There was another huge Rush fan on these boards that'd probably enjoy checking out your ranking, but for the life of me I can't recall who it is.

    @Creasy47, the first name that clicked for me as a Rush fan was @00Beast, and after doing some snooping I found this thread he started:

    https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/979/classic-rock/p1

    My memory served me correctly! Funny how certain details stick with you over the years.

    Funny how that works, ehh? It ended up not being @00Beast, but in fact @WillardWhyte who made the comment in that thread you linked, so it must've been him. Knew it was someone in particular around these forums!

    Jerk #1 : "ha ha , your collection of statues crushed when it fell on top of the others !"

    Maybe someone should take a baseball bat and smash up *your* collection , that would be "funny" , right ?

    Thankfully I've never experienced such a nightmare myself !

    Jerk #2 : "ha ha , Barbras dog died"

    Yeah , when your pet dies it's "hysterical" , harr harr.

    I was grocery shopping today and they were playing Madonna's "Die Another Day" on the radio. What?

    What's even weirder is that most national chain stores use digital music players that have their catalogs controlled by corporate (at least that's how it is at my pet store), not radios. So someone at Ralphs corporate offices said, "Yes, this is what our customers want to listen to." I'd ask for more money if I had to listen to that at my job. "I'm gonna close my ear-holes now." :D

Now, I don't want to be indecent here or cross a line, but is there any way I could get hazard pay in the event that it plays on the speakers at any time during my shifts? It's a matter of concern for my personal health and well-being, I'm sure you understand."

    A bit obscure I know, but has anyone ever used non marine ply for outside building projects? I'm doing some DIY jobs at the moment, and want to put a new roof on my garage. I'd obviously waterproof the stuff and have some bitumen roof paint to paint it with. Sealing all the edges as well. I wonder if I should go with this or OSB board?

    Go with the ply Stag OSB is like a sponge and will soak up everything it can and dissolve shortly thereafter no matter how well you try to waterproof it good luck.

    Thanks @Mrcoggins. My instinct was to go with ply, but I wanted a second opinion.

    New conservatory - check!
    Garage rebuilt (half a check - too hot to work outside!)
    New kitchen installed - check!
    New bathroom installed - check!

    Exterior work abandoned until the weather cools sufficiently. I am now setting about wallpapering!

    Faktisk.no is a Norwegian fact checking site created to combat fake news. Bravo.

    Their latest piece is about debunking a story about a dying CIA agent who came clean about being part of a team who rigged WTC tower 7 with explosives prior to Sep 01. As there are no conclusive evidence, they concluded that it was fake.

    Not too long ago, they ran a piece about wheat production, which they chose to illustrate with a picure of barley. Quote telling, or not?

    Dictator? Not yet (do give him time, he's relatively new to it). But a dicktator? Assuredly.

    Donald Trump is the worst US president in my lifetime, and God willing hopefully ever. What a complete disaster it has been.
