And isn't that what I initially did in, after having read the article, pointing out that the conclusion you had posted wasn't valid and was an over-interpretation of the results reported in the article in that it removed all the associated uncertainty? That wasn't a dissection of your choice of wording but more of an analysis of your meaning. Don't you claim to have some knowledge of statistics? If so, surely you understand the importance of the concept of uncertainty. Or is it simply that you think that there's an unwritten rule on this forum that anyone who points out a mistake of understanding in one of your posts is, by definition, a pr*ck?
You were wrong in what you posted; I politely pointed that out; you got upset and called me a pr*ck. That's about the long and short of it. But, hey, I've been around the block a few times and I'm not going to get upset or lose any sleep over that.
Get yer sens off ta bed.
Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), I believe he was involved with salmon farming up in Scotland, whereas Roger was trout farming down in southern England. I stood in several times on his Dorset farm (covering managers holidays) and set up his rearingg farm near Rutland water. He also had his fishery in Sussex.
I could tell tales, but staying true to rock-'n'-roll "What goes on tour, stays ........".
Edit: I think he sold the farms many years back, but he had a canny business brain.
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
[QUOTE=Flem;663100]Good post (even though I do say so myself)!
Although I knew the name Bobby Day I wasn't aware that I'd actually heard any of his singing so I've just had a pleasant bit of a session on YouTube. Thanks for steering me to that. I think Ain't Gonna Cry No More is my favourite, although it's a pity about the double-negative and the generally appalling grammar of the title. The use of the word "Ain't" is so vulgar.
I have always found the business of popular music fascinating. Heroin dealers have more integrity than those who (used to) work in the record business, which in the rock 'n' roll days of cash was often organised crime.
The potential rewards for someone recording a self-penned hit song in, say, 20 minutes could be fantastic - £millions - but, as the saying goes, "where there's a hit there's a writ" or in the case of Bobby Fuller (I Fought The Law) murder (asphyxiation from gasoline after being beaten up, aged 22).
