Loonytoons Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 It’s actually quicker to say ‘Volkswagen’ than it is to say ‘V.W.’ If I had a pound for every time I heard someone using an acronym that actually extended the syllable count I would be a billionaire. Don't most volk just say "veedub"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was huge on VHS when it was first released, and I remember charity shops being inundated with the tapes years later, but there were only three. I guess they were quite short. They did an animated series maybe ten years ago, with Rowan Atkinson doing the voice again, and my son loved it for a while, so I decided to show him the original, but he didn't like it. Kids, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a more on-topic contribution, the terracing at Central Park in Cowdenbeath was constructed using spoil from the local coal pits.

Not a lot to invent here. The C Major (Ionian) scale is equivalent to the white keys on a piano (i.e. C,D,E,F,G,A,B). Similarly A Minor (Aeolian) and B Diminished (Locrian). Also D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian and G Mixolydian. Basically the same concept with a different starting point. On a guitar, C major, B diminished and A minor have similarities 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
