<quote>Surely it cannot be as bad as Shatner's spoken rendition of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Surely.<quote>
Amazing how it dates. His Album "Has Been" works much better .

Ah yes Evan,
<quote>In a rush of blood to the head, I let a car in (they hesitated at first, suspecting my motives) and gave me a friendly wave. This released self-congratulatory endorphins which I enjoyed and since then I have always looked for opportunities to let motorists in when it can be done safely. This has expanded in a "Pay-It-Forward" manner and now a lot of people are commenting on the overall change in driver behaviour.<quote>You forgot to add the "road rage" like feeling if said let in motorist fails to make the friendly wave gesture.

I'd go the other way and pay for an enhanced annual membership fee that increases the interaction with the museum.
This should include free entry to all exhibitions (not merely a discount like at present) .
The Tate and the Imperial War Museum do this in the UK, for a charge of 60 and 30 pounds respectively.
Discounted entry to exhibitions if you become a friend of <Auckland Art Gallery, Te Papa> , is the norm here (although the Auckland Zoo offers unlimited entry with its Friends of the Zoo).
Would the higher price be worth it? Well since we have been getting the Auckland Zoo Card, we would easily go there 12-15 times a year, and have bought cards as presents besides.

She doesn't need to ask how I want it, non waste her time trying to start a conversation and she is kinda cute. Though she does always point out new grey hairs.
Maybe its in the hairdresser syllabus : mine does this also.

Thanks Heather,
Like you said, funny about it being primarily for the hearing impaired . I can still recall the music accompanying the segments:
The worker digging with the spade
The burbs with the voice bubbles
and of course the guy in the lab coatCheers
