I'm pretty much the same as Hen, I prefer the type to the talk.
Well then, I guess you'll never hear my stirring and moving rendition of "And The Band Played Waltzin' Matilda"....
One listener called it "the best acapella rendition of the song I've ever heard"....
(Of course they may have been drunk at the time....I know I was.... )
(BTW, as an aside, I've tried to call you guys several times, and for whatever reason...on your side of the pond or mine....the call never seems to go through....)

Strange? We are often in phone contact with the UK, without hiccup.
PM me the number you've been dialling.
Oh, and try leaving the 0 off the area code. (0ur number then becomes 2 xxxx xxxx)

That would be AWESOME! Dude!
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Phone systems in France run on sheer arrogance so they are not susceptible to the problems faced by us mere mortals...
This is no lie...
A few years back, before we had direct dial to numbers in France, and you had to go through a French operator to put through a call, I would typically have to call three or four times before I would get one who would admit to speaking English and put my call through....
Try buying bread in a French bakery, whether speaking French or not, without having been introduced to the baker by someone who is a regular customer. You'll be looked at as if you were asking to fuck his mother.
Although I was taught a really neat trick to overcome the typical French "attitude" when a tourist asks for help: begin your request by saying, "Excusez-moi de vous déranger Monsieur/Madame, mais j'ai un problème." I swear it works every time, and they will even overlook the most mangled French (as I witnessed when my friend tried it) to fall over themselves being helpful.
