Exhilaration

[mudskipper]

Lip reading is hard.

For example, "Fer-rar-i" would, to somebody unskilled therein, look the same as "Fu… wan… kers".

Colin Dexter wrote an Inspector Morse novel, later adapted for television, whose plot was predicated on this ("The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn"); and David Lodge (who has himself suffered hearing loss) has used it as a device in several novels.

So they probably just thought you were a bunch of *****.

Sign language would have been clearer if that was the case.

Wow.. Just been taken for a spin in a Ferrari Testarossa (one of the regulars in my local, in case you're wondering).

Quick blast up the A30 and back but the golden moment came as we turned onto Crewkerne High Street.

A group of youths that were stood on the corner did a double take and in slow motion their lips mouthed the word "Ferr-rarr-ee" in unison as we cruised past with Phil Collins' Sussudio blaring out.

What a buzz!

Phil Collins' solo efforts seem to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying in a narrower way, especially No Jacket Required and songs like "In the Air Tonight" and "Against All Odds" (though that song was overshadowed by the masterful movie from which it came) and "Take Me Home" and "Sussudio" (great, great song; a personal favorite) and his remake of "You Can't Hurry Love," which I’m not alone in thinking is better than the Supremes' original. But I also think that Phil Collins works better within the confines of the group than as a solo artist - and I stress the word artist. In fact it applies to all three of the guys, because Genesis is still the best, most exciting band to come out of England in the 1980s.

In the Air Tonight was my fave. How dare South Park denigrate Phil?

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.

My mates dad had a Testarossa in the late 80's. While impressive to look at, he got shut of it because they are really hard to drive. They are huge and not the best layout inside. The handbrake was to the right of the driver, meaning that you point your arse at the seat and eventually gravity takes over as you fall into the seat.

Great tags on the thread.

This is just cunning tedious now.

70s

Never heard Supper's Ready?

I'm sure one of the many prog rock fans that frequent these boards can help me with this one. There was a track by Genesis in which a young Peter Gabriel would take the stage wearing a floppy hat with a piece of straw hanging out of his mouth, thus looking like some kind of country bumpkin. Anyone know what this track was called? It was absolutely awesome but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Nor do I have the Googling skills to identify it either .
