Yup it is! Third Thursday every November.
Me and a mate throw a party every year to celebrate.
It is a well preserved secret that the "delicacy" of the wine is just an excuse to have some fun, so do not tell anyone.
... such stuff as dreams are made on

The Japanese are almost as good, sashimi, sake and beer at 6 am is an excellent start to a saturday though I do prefer stinky cheese and pig.

Tim Bowness - Sing To Me[^]
Came across this album on Spotify some weeks ago.
Usually not my cup of tea, but this song is particularly good 
It's (prog)rock music, on the soft side, bit of ambient, some violins.
Enjoy

If you like that style see if you can find John Paul Jone's Thunder Thief, not quiet the same but similar...

That makes me asleep 
Just listened to this song[^]. It always brings back the good old days. And yeah it's unplugged.
|
|
|
|

Dude! Takes me back to just having MTV when Uplugged was the thing.
|
|
|
|
|
Hell yeah! I'm really into unplugged. It's clean and very nice to hear

I like the instrumentals, and progression toward the end. The intro was a little slow and wimpy for me.
Had to look away from the monitor because the lady wouldn't stop staring at me. Creepy.
Thanks for sharing.

That's reeeeeeallly cheesy. But maybe I'm gettin' old or something, becuase I actually quite like it. The video is hilarious. Like something an Irish indie band might have put out in the 80s.....

Not really a big fan though, a friend is and I kind of tagged along

Yesterday I devolved almost a full month pay for my new PC. Since I need two ancient DDR (PC400) modules for my dad's dinosaur I ordered them too so to bundle it with my shipment.
They actually called me to be sure I didn't buy them for mistake I was kind of expecting that but it's still failry rare for a commercial activity to put that much attention to the customer's orders. I'm now a little less worried about the order!

I ordered my rig from a shop in Tuscany (I'm in Piedmont) and people there are generally nicer and more caring about customers, it's 3 years I attend to a big Comic con in Tuscany and I've always been treated exceptionally well.
Also it's a shop/workshop where you can send your PC and have it returned safely overclocked or order the pieces and have it assembled and overclocked, with delicate operations as delidding.
And they're about 10% cheaper than the cheapest italian online vendor I know (buying from the US isn't convenient because expedition and customs make up entirely for the difference in price but I'd have more trouble returning faulty items).

I had a similar pleasant surprise after I'd used my phone to order a Makita trimmer.
The bit where it said 110v was off the edge of the screen, so I ordered the wrong one (I wanted 230-250v), but they e-mailed me to confirm that I did actually want the 110v version.
Mind you, that was about five years ago, and I haven't had anything like that happen since.

I just searched for the tool[^], and got a bunch of gardening thingummies as the result.
Gardening + me = never gonna happen.

Good deal; that's a company that deserves your continued business!

I would not say "...deserves..." I would say "...has earned..."
It would be nice if more companies were like that.

For me...
to deserve might something intrinsic (Life deserves respect)
to earn something is you win it due to your actions (I have earned the privilege to disagree with my boss)

Interesting, thank you for the clarification. I fundamentally disagree (the universe owes me nothing), and feel that all deserved things, good and bad, are earned by definition.
Maybe it's a cultural thing.

Absolutely, in fact I'm pondering if sending them my CV
Also I'll refer to them if I'll have to spec and assemble PCs for friends/customers/acquaintances, something that I predict will happen as soon as someone sees my new rig.
