No no, thats not truedave brum wrote:OOOh Marius! You're prettier than me anyway???
People have difficulty distinguishing from my face and my ass as they're so alike - oops
Im trying to play the winner takes it all now 
Oh, maybe i get it this weekdave brum wrote:What are you doing tonight, Marius?
My wife is watching a football DVD downstairs - and her team is playing tonight so it might be on BBC Radio 5 Live (UK wide news and sport radio station) later on.
I posted your card today. I have never posted anything to go outside the UK before in my life! and I didnt know how much it was going to cost. I thought it might be about 1 pound but it was only 50p!
Hope so Im gonna post a card to you tomorrow Hehe, thats an idea. But i dont know Dave..hmm. Im not so good yet!dave brum wrote:Heres an idea - why don't you have your own Youtube channel so we can all see you playing!!
You could call yourself Marius MagicHands or something
Yeah, i know i have to start somewhere.dave brum wrote:Hey Marius, give yourself a chance, you're only 17!!! Even Elton John and Jools Holland had to start somewhere!
JH's annual 'Hootenanny' is on again on New Years Eve, on BBC 2. I always try to record it. Kate Nash (British singer-pianist from London) was on there last year. I don't really like her but I'll watch anything piano related!
Thanks a lot!! Coulden`t be betterdave brum wrote:Great
Oh, yeah it christmas time. My mum was also cleaning the house today. I dont like to wash the house inside. I prefer to wash the car, thats funnierdave brum wrote:hey Marius
Just got your message. I've been away from the computer and the piano all afternoon because I've been cleaning the house! So much so that my hands feel really rough! I think I'll have to stick some handcream on them tonight!
What you up2?
Its around 800-1000 people there every year. So its many people Hehehe, sounds gooddave brum wrote:I've finished cleaning now, Marius! Its so difficult to keep a nice clean house when you've got 2 cats shedding their hairs all over the place
Right now then I can at last do some piano practise, and maybe some Grade 1 scales and arpeggios.
My hands smell nice though. Like Cif!!
Yeah, thank you for the words Davedave brum wrote:Dear Marius I have never had an operation in my life so I know I'll be really SCARED when I've got to go and have one some time in the future
So I really do feel for you, Marius my friend
When have you got to go and have it done?
I'm downloading a dance tune by Bassomatic right now.
Cooldave brum wrote:Go to Youtube and put in 'bassomatic fascinating rhythm' and you'll see several mixes of it.
Have a look also at 'the orb pulsating' I remember this outfit's session on the John Peel show on Radio 1 in 1990 - I had just left home and got a job up in Shrewsbury at the time. And I had a car!!!
The best mix is twenty minutes long and it's REALLY spaced out, Marius!!!!!!!
I like that song!! Yeah, i can also listen to reggaedave brum wrote:Yeah I've started listening to classical music, especially piano music as my playing gets better. But I've always liked black music, jazz, soul, reggae etc.
But I'll always remember that Orb session, makes me feel about 20 again!!! BTW I'll be 39 next Sunday - old man now!!
Hehehe. I dont like cats. I have a rottweiler and i love itdave brum wrote:HHmm, my wife is 42 and she doesn't look it. She's with me now! Seems funny to think I'll be 40 next year!!! My hair is going bald so I probably look older.
Have you got your Christmas tree up yet? Unfortunately we can't have one in our house because our cats will attack it
Yeah, so the cats are jumping on the tree?? heheHehehe, i can see picture of it in my head. And its a little bit funnydave brum wrote:Last year was fun! I put up the tree and the fairy lights, switched on the lights and our little black cat immediately attacked the fairy lights and had the tree on the floor - very dangerous for Sarah (cat) so I had to take the tree down again to be safe.
Your rottweiler would have both our cats for his breakfast!!!!!
Glad you like Zantodave brum wrote:Yeah it was funny. Sarah gets everywhere but Sophie (other cat) is a lot less active. I've posted some pics of Sophie and sarah on one of the forums, have you seen them? I like Zanto by the way.
I'm just going to go off this page for 5 minutes or so because I want to show my wife something. So I might be back soon, but if I'm not, take care of yourself, dear M a r i u s !!!
Just introduced my cat to the Christmas tree, and he likes it, he went under it and proceded to eat the branches.dave brum wrote:Have you got your Christmas tree up yet? Unfortunately we can't have one in our house because our cats will attack it
So I have to keep him away. Hey Kim. Your name sounds norwegianebonyivory wrote:Hi! I would like to gate crash!
Hello Marius, it seems you live in Norway. My family and I visited Norway in April this year. It was lovely.
Are you happy to say where in Norway you live?
Kim.
Im fine thanksdave brum wrote:Hiya Marius? How was today. And so glad that Kim has joined us too.
Kim passed her Grade 1 Piano with merit two weeks ago. The same exam that I want to do soon
And you? Its a corps from Scotland there too Okey. Look at this page Dave : http://www.ukboogiewoogiefestival.co.uk/dave brum wrote:Whats this UK Boogie Festival then, Marius? And where is it? I cannot say I've ever heard of it
Oh, i have never visited Voss. But i want toebonyivory wrote:Hello again Marius!
Looked on the map of Norway. We visited Voss which is a couple of hours from Bergen, so not near you.
We hope to go back there.
How far along with your piano playing are you?
Do you have similar grades of exams in Norway?
Kim.
(Yes my name can sound Norwegian, especially if you say Kimmi!)
Hehehdave brum wrote:Give me an M
Give me an A
Give me an R
Give me anI
Give me a U
Give me an S
How are you tonite my pal?
PS I'd love to go to that Boogie Woogie festival too but its quite a long way from me
And try to play some Jazz chords on piano. Okey, thats a long trip thendave brum wrote:Yeah, that's in Dorset and I live in Wales so even though you're probably talking less than 200km, there are no straight roads leading anywhere from here, or motorways so it would take me ages to get there
Oh, now i understand.ebonyivory wrote:Hi Marius
I meant, have you been playing for long?
Are you new to piano?
Oh, just practise a lot, and you will be better every day!!ebonyivory wrote:I started having lessons in April 2007. My husband bought me a good piano in August 2007. I took my first exam last month. I had no music knowledge before that so it has been difficult. I wish I had started when I was young.
On fridaydave brum wrote:When do your Christmas holidays start at school, Marius?
2 days on school! And we get 2 weeks of christmas holiday Great!!No, i have been on school todaydave brum wrote:Yeah Mariussssss! I used to LOVE the Christmas hols when I was at school, besides my birthday is the 21st so I always had that day off school (except for just the one year
Are you off school today then?? And how are you feeling?
Thanks Davedave brum wrote:Poor little Marius
This is just a quick one as at 20.30 utc, Nigella Lawson is on BBC2 TV. She is not just a TV cook, she's so stylish and VERY attractive and young looking for someone in her 40s!
Hehehe, yeahdave brum wrote:...and she serves up HUGE portions of food to her guests. She did a lovely rack of roast beef with onion and garlic oil, and pavlova with a topping of passionfruit, lychees and raspberry ripple!!!
I'm really surprised after all that lovely cooking she's not seriously overweight!!!
She has a nice body! But too old for me, hehe. We`re not behaving so bad Dave..OR?? Im fine todaydave brum wrote:its quiite mild here in the UK, Marius! I've not had the heating on at all day today!
How are you today, dear Marius? Do you go to the cabin often then?
Pay bills is not funny!dave brum wrote:I'm gonna pay some bills
How are you feeling Marius?
10 pounds is 100 NOK (Norwegian kroner) So its almost the same price here!dave brum wrote:Well Marius, I've had 60 pounds so I can book a block of 6 lessons with someone who charges 10 pounds (10 'quid' as we British use as a slang word for a pound!!!) in the New Year!
I hope you don't get any bad headaches over Christmas, Marius - its the last thing you want for Christmas
I've paid 2 of my 3 bills, going to pay the 3rd one tomorrow before everywhere shuts for Christmas!
I have no idea Davedave brum wrote:Do you know what you're getting for Christmas then, Marius? I'm curious to know what Moonlight's got me!!!!!
OOOh, Christmas, always makes me feel like a little boy again, hahaha!
I dont like to demonstrate my pianistic skills either Davedave brum wrote:I've just finished wrapping up what'll be hopefully the last of our presents. There's this old female friend of my wife's that's coming round tonight and she's got us a present!
I MAY have to demonstrate my pianistic skills to her like I had to do to my in-laws (the family of my wife) on Sunday
My wife's sister in law thinks I should play in a church!!!! (imagine me doing a funeral, Marius!!!!)
Would be awesome to play on the organ in the church!! Maybe take the song: Amazing grace ?? Sounds good !! Merry christmasdave brum wrote:Don't know about Amazing Grace, Marius - I'd love to play both of the organ parts as played by Rick Wakeman from 'Awaken' from the album 'Going For the One' by the progressive rock band Yes. Or maybe Toccata by Widor!
Think I might have a quick play at one or two Christmas carols now so I'll be nicely warmed up for when she gets here!
Yeah, its a busy Christmas Dave. I know what you talking about.dave brum wrote:Well, it's a busy busy Christmas Eve here, Marius! Ben and got my wife's Christmas card (she thinks I've forgotten!!) wrote it, paid my last bill, recorded something on TV my wife wanted doing, and now I'm taking five before I dust and 'hoover' (vacuum clean) the bedroom!
I could do with a hand
Hehehedave brum wrote:I hope you get lots and lots of really nice Christmas pressies, Marius! I want you to have a really special Christmas!
And I ALWAYS eat lots of nice things at Christmas and get indigestion (and the farts!) on Christmas afternoon
How are your Christmas carols on the piano, Marius?
That sounds very good!! Hehohihadave brum wrote:Hey Marius, you'll like this! I took a photo of my rubber roll-up piano (yes that's right a RUBBER ROLL-UP piano) and sent it to Anna - it was the strangest piano she'd ever seen!
I'll look out the photo later and email it to you PLUS I've found this picture of me taken at Christmas '05 by my wife - but it's a bit naughty!!! If you fancy a laugh I can email that to you too
HOHOHOHOHO Marius!!!!!
Hehe. I dont want to see that picture!!dave brum wrote:Well okay Marius, I won't send it then - you don't actually see anything naughty its me in the nude with a Christmas gift bow covering up my erm....
Why dont you go onto my other thread and tell all of us what you had for Christmas, Marius? Did you have a lovely day?
Haha! No camera is good!dave brum wrote:Actually Marius, I'm in the nude right now - but do not worry there are no cameras around
That ribbe looks nice! What is it, meat or something like that? Do you not have like a really big special smorgasbord on Christmas lunchtime as I'd imagine there would not be much daylight on Christmas Day in Norway! In this part of the UK it usually starts to get dark around 15.45 on Christmas afternoon (on the 25th of June it would be around 22.00!)
Oh BTW Marius
