Lack of Modern Day Worksongs

Nice "shoals of coding" there. There's nothing like a good worksong.

I nearly always have some music on when I'm working - good tunes for hammering are the ones I usually go for and don't care about the lyrics (if any) when I sing along. I often sing foreign stuff (meaning unknown!) or instrumental parts, as long as the rhythm and the range suits me.

It's the sort of thing you only get away with as your own boss, singing along at top volume while you work.

I guess the proper work song is the one sung a capella though. Sadly my own parodies of classic tunes (at least the ones I can remember singing recently) are not on topic for the work.

I've just discovered the joy of having the car radio out of action, I'd removed the battery to do some work and couldn't be bothered to enter the security code.
Bliss! I can sing if I want or have quiet, I'm recalling all those songs I used to sing to the kids when they were little and those I'd sing driving up to London on my scooter when I was courting Mrs Cat (anyone for 'Six days on the Road' ?)

Just realised the first verse of my parody doesn't scan so here's an extra one.

Oh the chips were wrong and the etching bad,
And the boards they all still needed loading,
We did some mods and fixed the hardware,
but it still took endless lines of coding.

GA for enthusiasm Del!

I'll have to let this stew for a bit.. I'll get back to you.

Can't get the radio back on? You're not one of those people who has gadgets smarter than you, are you? I have a lady friend with a BMW Z-4. She doesn't know how to set the car's clock which is built into the radio. So, the time is correct half the year til it changes to Daylight Savings time, then it's an hour off. My old '84 Benz has a knob which I twist to set the correct time. I'm smarter than MY car's clock! (But sometimes not much.)

Can't get the radio back on?.
Of course I can...I just can't be bothered to get the documents and find the security code.

My advice don't listen to very loudly songs such the Rock music ,it brings the bad spirits to the area.

I think classiscal Music is ideal for a work environment.

Try Chikofsky cassical music :

Quite so!

Is Tangerine Dream classical?

If your wearing a smoking jacket at the time, then Yes it is classical.

Like to sing loudly songs from old musicals:

Sound of Music

Wizard of Oz

Les Miserables

and so on

"I'd like to be a lengthman

Along the iron way

I'd keep it in good order

The best that I could do

And if a platfrom needs a-shifting

Or track should need a-lifting

On a Sunday afternoon, I shouldn't mind

So long as I keep attending to the line....."

Good one, Del.

Remember this?

Glad I don't have to share a cubicle with you.

Mrs Cat's got me decorating the bedroom.
There's been precious time for any flirting
Oh the works is hard and my elbows sore,
'Cos I've been painting bleedin' miles of skirting.

(Someone stop me please...)
